Pay income taxes .en the $3,000. The
law is that 'it cannot, in distributing
patronage dividends;, bring its income
for taxation purposes belowa fair re-
turn on its invested capital.
This rule will a1scr apply to private
enterprise. It may also distribute
Patronage dividends to its customers,
but it cannot escape,,,taxation either

tal. • The. Government .regards three
Per.,cen.t'.as, a. fair retu.rtllk.:.:aa._......__
-Except for •those co-operatives
which were 'previously notified that
they were laiable for income tax, this.
.rule Will. go lute effect , next year.
Tho e
s who were assessed for income
tax, and whose cases *ere held in
abeyance pending the findings of the
royal commission, will become liable
for income tax on back incomes.
For new co-operatives, the Govern-
ment will grant an exemption from
taxation tar • their first three years of,
life: " This fs-- a 'positive encourage-
ment to co-operatives. It will, enable
them, during their 'first three years,
to hold back reserves which will pro-
vide them with satisfactory capital.
While the so-called "revolving door
plan" wi1•l`•sti11 be able to operate it
will face difficulties. The net; income
of the co-operatives: which is not ,dis=
turbed in patronage dividends is sub-
set to tax. Money held back under
he revolving .door plan 'for five years
vill be taxable. But at the other end
when money from the plan is •dis-
bursed to members it will be a empt
'roam taxation, provided' 'it does not
violate the "fair return 'on 'capital"
ule.
The Rule Defined
The' rule is: When a co-operative
ays over to its members its surplus
n cash, it can deduct' the payments
rom•..its net income for taxation pdr-
oses; but When it merely -credits it
o 'the members account, to ti's wi,th-
rawn five .years hence, ` it Cannot
laim the amount as a patronage divt
end and an expense 'of doing l4usi-
ness. it would be• taxable on its en -
ire income just tike a privately own -
d compny. . '
• One aspect • of the new Government
Policy is likely to cause some crib
is,m.. When patronage' dividends are
aid, they must be paid on an equal
axis to members and non members.
ecause of• this rule. there is:concern
mong co-operators that little • encourr
gement is given to persons' to •be

SCHEDULES FOR
POTATO SPRAY
---itrformadon • on- thea. eprayin-g -•and-
dusting of potatoes, based on the lat-
est tests, with DDT and other mater-
ials, is contained in a .,statement ,is-
sued jointly by Prof. R. W. Thomp-
son, Provincial Entomologist, O.A.C.,
Guelph, and K. Richardson, Plant
'Pathologist, Dominion Laboratory, St,
Catharines. According to this state-
ment, potatoes should the sprayed or
dusted every seven to 1.0 days from
'the time the plants are six, to eight
inches high until the tops either ripen
naturally or are killed •by frost, With
such a schedule, all new 'growth is
kept covered as soon as it develops.
Only foliage thus covered is protect-•
ed 'against insect and disease attack
throughout the season. The report
then goes on to give the 'following
details:
When .you spray. •to protect pota-
toes from diseases and insects use
either Bordeaux 4.4.4'0 or some other'
tested,' reliable fungicide. 'To each 40
gallons add. one pound of 50 per cent
DDT wettable powder. In case of
other than 50 per Cent DDT being Us-
ed, enough must be added to give half
a pound of actual DDT in each forty
gallons of spray. Apply the .combina-
tion .spray for diseases and insects
atabout' 100 gallons per acre per ap-
plication. G0.0$ agitation in the tank
is necessary to -keep the DDT well
mixed in the spray solution at all
tunes.
"When you dust use 'a combination'
mixed copper -3' per cent DDT''dust
and apply at the rate of .25 to 50
Pounds per, acre, Never use DDT
with copper -lime . dust because the
time in this. form .destroys the effec-
tiveness of the DDT. •in either sprays
or dusts where DDT is used, no other
poison such as lead or calcium arsen-
ate should be added. The DDT will
give good• controt.,of all common pota-
to ins.eets.
"Disease and insect control costs
far !esti than many other itents in
potato production, and yet gives much
bigger returns per dollar outlay. Con-
trol, however, can be obtained only
by following rigidly a definite pro
grame of sprays and dusts. Other
work Should never be allowed to ins
terfere with this spraying and dust-
ing,

Today there .are 'More than 3,000,-

,000;000 residents of the. gaited States who
are either Canadian born or whose
parents were born in Canada. Butt
the movement has not Been all one
way., The census •of•1931 showed that
American- •born residents of, Canada
Male up the largest single non -British'
immigration group: Added to those
whose patronage was. American, the
total stood • at • more --than,' 800,000.
But these figures 'Cover., only two
generations. Every census -from 1850
on tells a similar story. ' As econ:
omic conditions 'changed, as areas of
aettlement were opened and saturat-
ed, as industry grew .and resources
were developed, the ebb and flow , is
marked in the • figures of population
movement.
" "-Between 1919; and; ;1930, inclusive,,
the average admission's into Canada
amounted to 123,000 a year but this
was not the final gain. - •
"Thanks to the shaping of the new
American immigration laws, Canada
might be gaining population . from
-Europe, but the sante laws were drain-
ing .off. her .population to the United
States at such a rate that she suf-
fered on 'balance a loss of over a mil-
lion persona from her potential po.pu
lation during the. decade 19214930. 'It
was the character of these emigrants;
writes John Bartlet Brebner in North
Atlantic Triangle, which made .their
loss particularly had 'to bear. • .
Basic Stock
These were the basic North Ameri-
can stock who were lost to the Deals
inion. The restrictive legislation aim-
ed at the. European immigrant by the
United States in a series of measures
from 1917 fan Left the• door open -to
the Canadian and American -born Can-
adian. As the American boom rolled
to a climax, thousands Crossed the
border. But by'1,926, Canadian pros-
perity had slowed the movement and
that year alone :Canada regained more
than 62,000 of her lost citizens and
continued to draw them- back at the
rate' of • about 40,000 a -year to '1930.•
Mr. Brebner's study'proaides a viv-
id picture of these migrations. The
steady flow of immigrants into Can-
ada from 1851on was nearly metalled
by emigration, until ip.,the decade be:

The explanation is to be found in the
maintenance and 4mprovement of the

"Largely because of 'their immense;
