S.P•AFORTII, Friday, April 6, 1945 .Plenty Of Time We have heard quite a few farm- ers complaining a little about the weather. That the rain is keeping them off the land. It is, at that. But it is well to remember that spring has come earlier °this year than ' in many decades, some six or more weeks in fact. •There is still plenty of time. Four weeks from now, if conditions have • not:improved, a little worry might be excused, but right now it will pay to be patient. The land is not too wet; it will easily absorb all the • water, andquite a bit more. • It was a dry fall, and we had three Months of steady winter, without a single thaw. Consequently the land wM • absorb an unusually large amount of Moisture before a proper • seed bed is provided, and seeding on anything else is too often a waste of • both work andseed. One farmer told us that over a space of twenty years, on the, aver- age, he started seeding the first week of May, and his crops, we know, have always been a little above the average. That is not to say that the early seeded grain will not pro- duce a good crop, but it is encourag- ing to remember that seeding two weeks or three weeks from now, °Will still be considered an early, seeding, • when the average of the years is taken into consideration. • • What The Winter Did The recent winter, with its unusual amount of snow and steady cold, seems to have attuned municipal councils, both Own and township, • to a single thought. And that is the need of modern power equipment, not only to provide open streets and roads in vinter;„.but to ,widen, drain: and surface concession roads during the -open season, so that plowing the snow, in winter may be accomplish- ed with the least possible work and expense. There are more than a dozen • ratmicipalities ,in this county that have already placed orders for this equipment,: and others who have it under consideration. That is not to say that orders already placed will • be filled by next winter; in all prob- ability they will not, but the first • placed ones will receive first consid- eration when the war is over and production gets back on a 15eace- time basis. • . This thought Spells the dawrrof a new era. In other days, in fact back as far as the settlement of this dia-- trict -goes, blocked roads in winter , Were taken as a 'matter of course. If the winter was unusually severe, with a' heavy snowfall, it was con- sidered there was nothing tofclo but hibernate and hope for an early spring. There wasn't either. The same transpprtation problems arose every spring. If spring came early, and the frost came out of the 'ground with a rush, there were two weeks when the bottom fell out of the roads -in many places, acrd others Where hub -deep mud was considered good going for the season' of the year. But that era, although its passing WAS a long, slow process; is over, al- . thiingh, there are still some people b�;1tb .t� 'believe it. Now the id fa:a-wheel and intends to keep Ong, r6gaidiess of the sea- anotV,,or1flhi Conso; eWer-that-be " Oh Which , Going Right To Town In 1933 the C.C.F., party meeting in Regina, drew up and passed the following manifesto which provided, among other things, "a planned and socialized economy in which our natural resources and the principal means for production and distribu- -tion are owned, controlled and oper- ated by the people," and further; "that no C.C.F. government will rest content until it has eradicated - cap- italism and put into operation the full program of socialized planning which will lend to the establishment in Canada of the Co-operative Com- monwealth." , It is true that a somewhat modi- fied manifesto was passed some • years later at Montreal, but perhaps Mr. Douglas and his newly elected Government in Saskatchewan did . not attend the recent gathering of the faithful. At any rate, it is very apparent that the C.C.F. government in Saskatchewan is operating, and intends to keep on operating, on the Regina manifeSto. To date the •Douglas government's Socialist enterprises, as outlined by the Financial Post, now include: A fur agency in Regina, operating. A fish -filleting plant at Lac la Rouge, $100,000 projected. , A woollen mill at Mooae, Jaw, $125,000 projected. A pulp mill in the Northeast, pro- jected. Government insurance, projected. A brick plant at Estevan, $150,000, existing.-- - - - A printing plant at Regina, $85,- 000, operating: -- In the Montreal manifesto it stat- ed that only "industries which are monopolistic in character, or are be- ing operated to the detriment of the Canadian people" would be socializ- ed, but in the case of Saskatchewan, most of the industries taken over were- those in which opposition was bitter throughout Canada, and cer- tainly none of them could be said to be operating to the detriment of the people of Saskatchewan, or those in 'any -other Province in the Domin- ion. But even supposing the industries the C.C.F. Government have selected to operate were of a monopoly kind, how secure will any private business be in Saskatchewan, if within a sin- gle year of being elected, the Doug- las Government has advanced so far in socialism, in so many and so var.: 'led fields? Where will the end be? There. are very few, if' any cases where private industry can not corn- , pete successfully with government industry, if the competition is fair. Rut if • government industry is pre- pared to lose money in industry, for the sake of votes or power, and ' °charge the loss to the taxpayers, no private business can continue in operation long. It is well to remem- ber too, that Government industry pays no taxes. These and its indus- try losses will, or course, come out of the general taxpayers' pockets. - Under such circumstances private enterprise *ill not feel, like investing in new developments in their own business 'which might be put out- of action tomorrow by a government subsidized .competitor, nor will pri- vate capital be willing to take a risk, when investment risk - is alreadY great enoligh, in any place or proV- ince" that is likely to be invaded by the government. Wherever and whenever govern- ment Opetation of induatry ' enters the field, it is inevitable that private industry Timst, withdraw, and. unless M Douglas 'does not draw a line very Soon, he -will find that he will .hatre to take control of all business hia Province* Th the meantime kola oink, Aght to; tOttf gong that 'toad • ; I • veseseeset • From The Heron Expediter • APril Misses lidargeeet'iX•Iinsid MOonald, of London'Ideripal School ape* Easter at their hinnies die Dolce- neri Charles *Ode/Ale, of Mauled". le# last Week- for ldreeter, where he ASA bought a general eters.

The bonus is payable on all the clean standard gads elusive of rejects. To qualify for the bonus, all On- tario grown shipments math be free from seedy, chaffy and burry wool and from tags, or else the growers must remove the'se rejects from the fleeces and pack them separately before con- signment. In shearing, care should be taken not to clip the hair on the face or legs as this hair is worthless. When included in the fleece, it great- ly lowers its value as it is almost im- possible to remove. -!.Any dark color- ed face and shank wool should be packed separately instead of being rolled up in the fleeces. Fleeces should be kept intact, rolled flesh side out and tied with paper twine. VIdec- es Hee.; with binder twine or other sisal string will not be eligible for the bonus. ler 1943; when wool bonus payments were first made, there was a certain amount of leeway to growers in the matter of complete separation of the reject wool, but the tolerance has 'be- conie progressively smaller sines then and eligibility for bonus in 1945 wile necessitate- earefill separation of the undesirable rejects before shipment to the wool warehouse. Rate of Planting Corn During ted1944 season many farm- ers realized for the first time the im- portance of the rate of planting corn. Thi was was demonstrated by the ex- ceptionally dry weather during Mid- summer and fall. Baerene stalks were much in evi- dence last season in fields of hybrid corn.' This was not the fa -6U of the hybrids but rather the result of dry Weather ana too wick seeding.
