What is The Government
Offering ?
In its leading editorial on Monday
last, the Toronto Globe and Mail
said: "There is not as much public
interest in the Provincial election
campaign as usual. The Opposition
parties have been unable to raise an
issue about which the people can be
aroused. Beyond promising to pay
more to a greater number of people
.out of the public funds and take less
in taxation with which to replenish
the treasury, the Opposition Parties
have little to offer."
The Globe and Mail did not say
what either the issue or the promis-
es of Mr. Drew were. But, perhaps,
that was entirely unnecessary, be-
cause the people of the Province are
well aware that the election issue as
announced by Mr. Drew was the con-
version of Western Ontario Hydro
over to. 60 cycles.
Actually, it is pretty hard to call
that an election issue, when every
party in the Legislature gave unani-
mous consent to the turnover, and
no where in the Province has there
been any protest.
As for promises, the people of the
Province are also well aware that
Mr. Drew has included all those of
the Opposition Parties—and a great
deal more. And all to come out of
the treasury too.
r
Farmers And Income Tax
It will appear that the income tax
authorities this year, for the first
time, are fencing in the Ontario
farmer. This spring every farmer in
the district, with an assessment over
a certain amount, was notified to
make an income tax return for the
past two years, whether or not they
were actually liable for income tax.
Too many it came rather in the
nature of a shock. Hitherto the great
majority had considered themselves
outside the income tax field, and had
never filed a return. Others, as far
as their bookkeeping methods would
permit, filed some kind of a return
in recent years, and still others con-
formed with the ruling and filed com-
plete returns, usually compiled by
men with legal or accounting train-
ing.
On 'the whole, however, income tax
returns from farmers in Ontario
have been pretty much a hit-and-miss
business. So much so that attention
has been focused on it in recent years
by farmers' returns from the West-
ern Provinces, whose cash incomes
are largely taxed at the source, and
who have no means of evasion
through slack or faulty bookkeeping.
The comparison, which ever way
one looks at it, is almost unbeliev-
able. In the matter of money col-
lected the returns show that the
1946-47 fiscal year income tax assess-
ments show Manitoba farmers con-
tributed $2,126,201 ; Saskatchewan
farmers contributed •
$5,579,921, and
Alberta farmers, $3,921,187, which
makes a total of $11,627,309.
While the farmers in these West-
ern Provinces were handing out this
money to the Government, the farm-
ers of Ontario and Quebec, not only
the two largest, but by far the two
wealthiest Provinces in Canada,
handed in, in the form of income
taxes, only $2,064,283. What is still
more unbelievable is that Quebec's
share of this total was only $94,707.
In the number of returns filed and
the number assessed, there is also an
amazing difference.
Manitoba farmers filed 31,742 re-
turns, of which 9,836 were assessed
for taxes; Saskatchewan farmers fil-
ed 46,616 returns a;ld had 15,583 as-
sessed, while Alberta' riled 74,675 and
had 16,312 assessed.
In the meantime, what happened
in Ontario and Quebec ; was that the
fa ,Pers in Ontario filed 28,909 re-
turns, of which ' were assessed
for income Mares, while those in Que-
y 1 1 19,880 returns, and . of these
'stere. asSessedo
has ever 'suggested, least
fir - themselves) that
they should be exempt from income
tax, but the tax authorities alight
spend some profitable time investi-
gating., the difference in proportion
in the contributions of Eastern and
Western farmers, and in particular
the farmers of Quebec. "
•
Cm? Cycle In The West
Dr. R. 0. Whyte, a British expert;
who has recently been in the United
States and 'Canada, is the authority
for the statement that for ten years
the Western Provinces ,have enjoyed
either unusually good crop condi-
tions, especially c1.,uring the war
years, or at least, fair crops in the
Prairie country as a whole.
He states further, that years of
very good yields will return again,
after a period of drouth, which the
agricultural experts of Canada and
the United States believe is not far
off. But how soon the drouth may
be expected, the British expert did
not say.
Nearly every one is fully aware
that there have been successive
cycles of abundant crops and lean
years in the Prairie Provinces, so
that another period of dry seasons
will not be unexpected. But at the
same time it will be feared and even
dreaded, after the dust bowls of the
thirties.
However, although the Western-
ers must expect conditions far from
as good as they have had in recent
years, there are very good reasons
why people should not be too much
disturbed. For one thing, they will
not have anything as severe as the
drouth in the early thirties, which
was the worst in the history of the
country. Since then, also, the West
has studied and learned how to meet
such a situation if it,occurred again.
It has learned that certain forms
of cultivating the land will greatly
lessen the danger from blowing and
drifting soil, and water conserva-
tion will help to keep the livestock
alive. Farmers are also greatly im-
proved in their financial standing
and are much better able to stand a
few poor years.

Different i his lime
The Province of Saskatchewan,
where the only Socialist Government
in Canada is in power, is to have a
provincial election this year. But
there 'seems to be a decided change
in the appeal Premier Douglas is
making to the electors this year than....,
there was four years ago, when he
was first elected.
This year Mr. Douglas seems to
have dropped the plank in his policy,
of socializing industry, which went
a long way towards his success in
1944. Then the C.C.F. talked con-
tinuously of how it would make the
profits of state owned industry pay
for all social services, after it had
taken over private enterprise.
The C.C.F. after election and dur-
ing the 19 months it has been in pow-
er, did take over a number of priv-
ate enterprises old put them under
government control. But the experi-
ence of Saskatchewan has been pret-
ty much -the same as that of the
Labor Government in Britain as far
as public ownership has been con-
cerned. In Britain the government
has recently decided that any fur-
ther advance into state ownership
would be unwise, and not in the best
interests of the country's economy.
Apparently Mr. Douglas and his
C.C.F. party in the Legislature have
come to the conclusion that while the
profits from private enterprise may
be great, while in private hands,
they have a way of shrinking to
nothing when the government takes
control. That is rather peculiar too,
considering the fact that in spite of
their special bookkeeping, which calls
for no interest to be paid on borrow-
ed capital, no taxes paid to munici-
palities where these industries are
located, or corporation taxes to the
Dominion Government, and by which
only the smallest possible of deprec-
iation funds are set aside.
Even with all these State favors
and in a timeof ready money and
top and • abundant markets, Sas-
katchewan's entry into State owner-
ship has shown a profit of only a few
thousand dollars. That falls so far.
short of providing'the money for so-
cial services er anything else, that
the governnnent is perhaps showing
wisdom in dropping its state owner
ship plank.

PHIL QSIFgR • of
LAZY MEADOWS
As a boy I think the twenty-fourth
of May ranked alongside of Christmas
as being a favorite day. Christmas
was the best, of course, but the
twenty-fourth always came at the
right moment to give a relief from
the day-to-day routine of 'attending
school.
Whea' ,che day opened my father
would always think up some work for
us to do around the farm. This made
us highly indignant and we protested
about the tradition ,of Empire Day
and how we were always allowed to
go fishing. Father would then go in-
to a long harangue about how slow
the weather had been, and how much
he really needed us to help him get
caught up with the work around the
place. Finally, after we had argued
all the way through breakfast, he
would throw up his hands in mock
despair and say, "All right , all
right, you can go fishing and I'll slave
away here and see if 1 can get a lit-
tle of the work done."
Mother would then pick up the cue.
She would say: "I do wish you boys
would gather up some of the rubbish
around the house. Would you mind
cleaning out the cellar, and that
woodshed is a disgrace. Your father
just hasn't the time to do the work,
and I'm not feeling very well." What
can you do when your mother asks
you to do something like that? The
faces were drawn and haggard as we
went out to get at the task. Nothing
could be as bad as having to work
MI the twenty-fourth of May.
By Harry J. Boyl%
Finally, Father would appear and
ask how we were 'getting along with
the work. ,It was plain for anyone to
see that we didn't have our . hearts
in the job at all. He would start
helping a little and soon he was
pitching into the work. The grounds
would be clean as a whlatle in an
hour or so.
Then there was the job of the cel-
lar. How we dreaded having to go
at that cellar! Father disappeared in-
to the house. Wearily, we opened the
outside cellar door and then Father
would appear again.
"Mother has packed a lunch fox us,"
he would smile. "If you hurry up
you can get some worms gathered by
the time I get the car out."
We would go fishing. There was
always this routine on the twenty-
fourth of May. We somehow or other
knew that eventually we would go
fishing, but it caused a fluster of un-
certainty in our minds. I suppose we
were always dreading the time when
Father would be serious about it.
The truth of the matter is, he enjoy-
ed fishing _just as much as we did.
We never caught many fish, but we
always managed to light a fire and
have lunch and come home exhaust-
ed and happy with some minor mem-
bers of the fish family, hanging on a
forked willow gad.
That's why "I went fishing this
year, although I had a lot of work
:waiting to be done. The- twenty-
fourth is the day when all farmers
and their sons should go fishing.
:JUST A SMILE OR TWO:
A young man who had received his
diploma had been looking around
successively for a position for em-
ployment and for a job. Entering an
office, he asked to see the manager,
and while waiting he said to the of-
fice boy:
"Do you suppose there is any open-
ing here for a college graduate?"
"Well, dere will be," was the reply,
"if de boss don't raise me salary to
t'ree dollars a week by te'morrow
night!"
•
One morning the lady of the house
tdok in the groceries herself. "What
isr•4.Ctur name?" she asked.
"Tommy Handley," the boy answer-
ed.
"Tommy Handley," she mused.
"That's a very well known name,
isn't it?"
"It ought to be," said the errand
boy seriously. "I've been delivering
here for nearly a month now."
On the ninth stroke of the clock,
Simpson awoke with a start. "Gosh'.
What a head I've got," he groaned.
"I can't go to the office today."
He reached for the phone and, call-
ed his boss' private number. "It's no
use wrapping things up," he confess-
ed. "Last night I was out with some
pals and I'm ashamed to say I/over-
did it. I wonder if I could take the
day off, sir?"
"Well," came the boss' voice over
the phone, "I admire your candor,
Simpson., and I shall expect you at
eight tomorrow. As for the day off,
it's yours. Today is Sunday."

A young couple had asked the
preacher to marry them immediately
following the Sunday morning ser-
vice.

23 women!

Practical Ways of Weed Killing
,F',xpe,rimepts•begun in 1947 as the
Dominion Experimental Farms at
Brandon, Man., and Swift Current,
Sask., have been carried to the point
that indicates there is a definite fu-
ture for 2, 4-D as a practical means
of controlling certain weeds in grain
crops and flax,
Satisfactory results have been ob-
tained through the application of• 2,
4-D solutions in volumes of water as
low as three or four gallons ped acre..
This development means that 2, 4-D
is practical for use on large fields and
the success achieved, when this
cihemical is used as a dust alone,•has
added to its popularity.
Because 2. 4-D is selective in its
action, it is valuable in the destruc-
tion of susceptible weeds during the
crop season, but it also suggests limi-
tations in its use as a substitute for
tillage in the control of weeds in
general. •
The cost of applying 2, 4-D will be
in the neighborhood of $1.75 per acre
in 1948; or 90 cents for the chemical
and 85 cents for machinery and lab-
or. Plowing on the average. costs
$1.40 per acre, one-waying 85 cents,
and cultivating 70 cents. Other than
in standing crop it is cheaper to use
tillage implements to kill weeds ,and
2, 4D should be considered mainly as
a -useful supplement, rather. than as a
substitute Por good tillage practices.
Not all weeds by any means can
be killed with 2, 4 -D:• -Common mus-
tard and stinkweed can readily be
killed; pigweed less readily. Russian
thistle with difficulty, while Canada
thistle and sowthistle can be killed to
the ground but heavy applications are
necessary to kill the roots. Wild
buckwheat, cockles and blue lettuce
are practically resistant. Grasses and
wild' oats are definitely resistant.
Low pressure boom spraying is be-
ing widely adopted, spray rigs are
now simple and relatively cheap, but
machines powering 30 to 40 foot
booms are necessary for large acre-
ages because the spraying season at
the best ins short,
Spraying with 2, 4-D for the control
of weeds in grain seeded down to
grass and clover is not recommended
because of possible serious injury to
the young grasses or clover.
Read the Label For Beat Results '
Read the label is a good tip for
those who use any of the pest control
preparations which are sold in Can-
ada. This advice is just as necessary
for
for the farmer doing a full-scale job
of „praying as it is for the housewife
wishing to rid the home of flies or
mosquitoes.
Many of the -2,000 products which
*ill be registered under the Pest Con-
trol Products Act of the Dominion
Department of Agriculture in 1948,
are designed for a special .purpose,
and are effective only for that par-
ticular purpose when :used in accordt-
ante With the manufacturer's. ,instrnb-
tions. In addition, modern prepara-
tions of this kind, insecticides, rodent-
icides, fungicides, are often of a more
poisonous nature than formerly, and
greater care must be exercised in us-
ing them. The labels on such pre-
parations also give directions to fol-
low if an accident does happen.
Before a pest control product can
be sold in Canada it is fully analyzed
and approved, and the instructions -on
the label are checked by the Plant
Products Division, Dominion Depart-
ment of Agriculture. The analysis is
done as a protection against useless
or highly dangerous preparations, and
the checking of the instructions on!
the label is to assure effective results
with a minimum of danger.
It is certainly wisdom to read the
label, and an additional precaution is
to keep such •preparations out of the
reach of children.
Find World Supply of Cereals Brighter
Cautions optimism is the keynote of
the March Report of the International
Emergency Food Committee of F.A.O.
dealing with the world outlook for
supplies of food and feed grains for
1948-49. Assuming the most favour-
able growing weather, world produc-
tion of food and feed grains in 1948-
49 may return to pre-war levels, with
Europe contributing most of the in-
crease over 1947-48 in bread grains.
If such a prospect does materialize it
should be possible to restore bread
rations to more normal levels, im-
prove working stocks of grains in im-
porting countries, and even lower
flour extraction rates. Less coarse
grains might have• to be diverted to
food consumption, thus' improving the
prospects for livestock rehabilitation.
But in addition to the assumption of
ideal growing weather for the 1948
harvest, it must not be forgotten that
the world's population in 1948-49 will
be nearly 10 per cent above that of
pre-war. Abnormal demands will con-
tinue for cereals to take the place of
other foods, which are scarce, includ-
ing rice, and any reduction in the
present use of coarse grains for food,
will mean a corresponding increase in
requirements for food grains.
Although the picture is the bright-
est since the end of the war, there
obviously still remains an urgent need
for careful international and national
management of cereals throughout
1948-49,
Farms on Prairies
