Not Very Encouraging
From the farinerr's point of view
the weather for the past few weeks
has been anything but encouraging.
That is bad enough, but when a
learned professor comes along and
tells us that rainy days and cloud -
heavy skies, are what we may look
for during the next 25 days, it doesn't
help any too brighten the farmer's
outlook on life. Until the middle of
June anyway. And the middle of
June is a little late for seeding.
But that is the prospect that Dr.
W. G. Colgrove, of the Unif'ersity of
;'Western Ontario Observatory, holds
out for us. And all on account of
sun spots. For sun spats, he says,
are. the cause of all our rainy wea-
ther. The sun is hotter when there
- are sun spots. The more sun spots.
the hotter the sun, which causes ab-
sorption of the earth's water bodies
sand brings on more precipitation: In
other words, more rain.
If that is true, and it is supposed
to be, we are apparently entering a
long, damp period, as Dr. Colgrove
says there are at present the largest
number of sun spots he has ever
seen, some 300, which shatters all
records, as the previous •record was
132 last February-
s However, the doctor holds out
• some hope, as he says' it is possible.
the spots may not arrange them-
selves in position to hit the earth in
this longitude and latitude. He ex-
plains it this way: "The earth and
sun rotate on their axis running
abreast, but the earth rotates at a.
higher rate of speed than the sun,
which mht put an entirely differ-
ent part of the world in direct re-
fiection of the sun spots and possibly
removethe danger of cloudiness and
rain in this area."
But,even at that the doctor is not
too encouraging. In facts, he does
everything he can to dampen any
celebration on our part when he says
that if we escape the rain, some one
•else,"somew.here else, will get it. And
we do not like the thought of wish-,
ing our bad weather on some one
else. •
If, however, as the doctor suggest-
ed, the West might get the rain, that
would be not too bad, because the
West is always clamoring for :.moil-
#fie. ' For ourselves, what we., need
is not sun spots, but quite a - few
spots of warm, dry weather.

Whp Not Petition The Right
Source?
Canadians have found out in re-
cent years that when the smallest
opportunity presents itself to stir up
strife and'' trouble, the Communist
party is right on the job.
In Toronto and some other large
centres, they were recently very ac-
tivein crying down and : parading
about high prices. Similar parades
were not unknown in the United
States, and even Britain reports.
them. ' The Manchester Guardian
says that a few weeks ago the Com-
munistic party marched from I-Iyde•
Park to' Downing Street to see the
Prime Minister.
Unfortunately for them the Prime
-,Minister was not at home. Worse
still, the weather was cold, wet and
unkind, and the vegetables carried
by the housewives protesting against
high prices, became wet and bedrag-
- glad by the rain.
,There were party paraders also
along who carried banners calling
for a, .i'ed-action in the price of every
thing, one of which read: "No cigs
for the workers, only cigars -•.f or the
rich."
No doubt prices ,are high, and in a
democratic country people have a
right to protest, if they feel like it.
Out the amazing thing is that the -
+Communi'sts in. Russia do. nog• parad-
nig'.nor protesting- And . prices in,
that country are many times higher
andliving conditions many times
worse ...than they are in Canada•f or'
even „ Britain not to mention the
'United States{.
Rtr.tfOr some reason' or other,
alfrt at Moseo`ty 14 never bothered
by single people or parades protest-
ing high prices, living conditionsor .•
anything else. Why do not Commt n-
ista direct their protests to head
quarters ? .

v.
Canadian People Are Insured
From the Financial Post we learn
that the people of Canada hold $108
billions of dollars in life insurance,
which amounts to five times more
than the annual expenditures of the
Canadian government, and two-
thirds the amount of the national
debt. .
At present some 4,500,000 separ-
ate Canadians have taken out insur-
ance on either- • themselves or their
dependents.. And for every Ilan,
woman and child in the country,
some $900__.Qf .insurance is in force.
That would' indicate that the Cana
diaii people. are fairly well insured.
And Canadians are buying more
insurance than ever before. In 1939
their insurance holdings were $600
per capita. Since then they have in-
creased fifty per cent:to the present
figure of $900. Last year alone sales
of insurance totalled $1.3 billions.
The Post publishes a chart which
shows how closely life -insurance is
joined to the financial operations of
our government. Of each dollar, tak-
en in by insurance and invested in
the interests of their policyholders,
29 cents has been invested in recent
years in Dominion Government
bonds, and 28 cents"in Provincial and
Municipal bonds.
These are safe investments for the
insurance companies, but at the same
time 'they have raised a serious prob-
lem. In 1925 the insurance compan-
ies were receiving 6.16 per cent. in-
terest on all their investments in
bonds, but a. year ago this rate drop-
ped to 3.85.
Now Dominion bonds are carry-
ing an interest rateof less than 3
per cent.- And although the decline
in earnings from Government bond
interest is being made up ta some ex-
tent by ' increased investments in
mortgages; which pay up to 5 per.
cent., itwould appear 'thatthe de•-
cline in earnings will very soon force
'a rate, revision. Which, of course,
means that Canadians will have to
pay more for their . insurance 'pro-
tection.
•
The Harvest Has Started
To the people of Ontario the har-
vest season is still a long way off.
But the West is more harvest con-
scious. There the Canadian 'harvest-
ing outfits are already crossing the
border to start their year's work, in
the Southern United States. ' .
This year the number will be about
the same as last year when 460 in all
went from Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. These outfits started
south the end of May and will move
north again as the crops ripen,, 'and .
will return . again to harvest .the
Western grain in September. And,
in addition, they will bring many
American threshing • outfits along
with them to help in the Canadian
harvest.
The Department of Labor at Ot-
tawa has • also announced that simi-
lar exchanges of tobacco workers
and potato • harvesters will be con-
ducted with the United States.
The 24th Is The 24th ,
We may be both old and old-
fashioned, but as long as we live the
24th of May will be the 24th of May,
and no other day will be acceptable
on which to celebrate.
Consequently„ when the Ottawa
-Government turned down a request
from Toronto to change the observ-
ance of Victoria Day from Saturday
to Monday, we think it did the right
thing.
In recent years self-interest of
some people has been showing itself
in a demand to have all public holi-
days, with the possible exception of
Christmas and New Year's, herd'
on a Monday: But all people do not
want all holidays held on a Monday.
And for the very good reason that
if they were, it would be a complete
laek of --respect for the oceOion ' of
the different anniversaries.
No one would . object to the. Mon-
day enthusiasts having Civic Holi-
days, Labor Day and Thanksgiving,
on .a .Monday; but they should be sat-
isfied with that. ' The 24th of -May is
the Que'en's birthday, aid the 25th
of December is Christmas' Day. And
ne other days will ever do.

I • guess.
One of them ealled me up the other
day to enquire as 'to how the fishing
looked for th'e week -end. Not having
had a session of fishing for almost a
year, 1 told him it would probably be
as good as any year. He• .promised to
come out for the week-eiid and bring
Charlie along with him.
The night before they were due to
arrive"i took the flashlight out on the
lawn ... we had had a rain . - . and
I looked for dew' worms. I got some
beauties, and they were safely put
away in an old tomato, tin. Every-
thing looked exceedingly good fon the
fishing. trip. I then got down ,the old
bamboo pole I use for a whip en the.
binder, and put a line and a hook on
it. I was prepared for a 4ay s fun..
Tom, and Charlie arrived early the
next morning, 'driving a new car . .
one of those swishy ones with the
front- and back looking,exactly alike.
They looked a little perturbed when
I sat in the back seat holding the
bamboo •pole out the window. It just..
sort of didn't fit in with the general
tpne of that car.

seemed to me they 1ilid a pole and

Tom and Charlie got very excited
and they waded out in the river,
striking poses Which I am sure must
have come. out of a sporting goods

Iris• Useful Plant For Gardens
The tall bearded varieties of Iris
are amongst the most useful plants
for Canadian gardens. These are the
ones generally known . as Iris and
can be obtained in a great number
of colors. Indeed, the varieties list-
ed 'by dealers number _hiundreds and
new ones are introduced every year.

flower in their gardens and grow very

rhizomes- (the underground rootlike
stems) will become well ripened in
summer, the Iris will bloom well for
several years.
