Statement
Liberals of Huron -Perth, at a nom-
inating convention held in Seaforth
Friday evening, selected as their
candidate in the forthcoming Fed-
eral election, the Editor of The Hur-
on Expositor.
In fairness to our subscribers and
advertisers, it is considered desirable
that they be informed the extent to
which this selection may affect their
interests.
This weekly, during its more than
eighty years' existence, has on many
occasions held opinions opposed to
those of many of its subscribers and
advertisers. Such opinions, however,
have not been reflected in its news
columns, which have always carried
a; full report of the happenings
throughout the district. This will
continue to be the case.
News coverage will continue to be
given activities and meetings of the
Progressive Conservatives and C.C.
F.'s, and such advertising as these
organizations care to contract for
will be accepted on the same basis as
that of any other advertiser. The
opinions expressed in the editorial
columns will continue to be those of
the publishers.

The Defence Of Canada
The defence of Canada is a subject
of vital importance to every Cana-
dian. Too frequently, however, its
true significance is lost in a welter
of charges and counter -charges,,
which tend only to confuse the aver-
age citizen.
Speaking before t h e Seaforth
Lions Club this week, Wing Com-
mand A. C. Hull, D.F.C., placed the
subject in its true perspective, when
he said, in part:
"At the end of World War I, many
writers of military strategy claimed
that there could be no more wars.
They proved, with terrifying clarity
and some degree of logic, that the de-
velopment of the aeroplane as a mili-
tary weapon, capable of carrying
huge loads of high explosive, and the
introduction of chemical warfare,
would make any future war, one of
extreme attrition. They depicted the
whole world as one huge battlefield,
with no man safe from the ravages
of war. When the war ended, as end
it must with each side almost anni-
hilated, the few people that remain-
ed would struggle for existence
among the rubble and ruins of the
world.
"Motivated to some extent by the
feeling that I have just expressed
and the realization that only by con-
-eerted action by all nations could
such a catastrophe be prevented, the
League of Nations was formed. It
failed in its purpose for two main
reasons. In the first place, the League
had no single military power with
which to enforce its policies, and
/secondly, nations were not prepared
to give up the power which the true
implementation of the policies of the
League would require. The League
of Nations was a giant, fettered by
;the chains of nationalism.
"Today it is significant that World
War II is not depicted as the war to
,end all wars. Once again an organ-
ization has been formed to prevent
any future waar, but with the failure
of the League of Nations still so
fresh in our minds, no one is over-
confident in the ability of the United
Nations Organization to prevent an-
other war. It has been stated that
unless the Security Council of the
ILN.O. is given an international mil-
Itary force strgng enough to enforce
Its policies, unless every nation is
r! 11i g to• per emit U.N.O. investigat-
itllg eonimitf es to enquire into its in -
and ' eeonemie structure, un-
tfoi is are, prepared to accept
to
ruling of the TJ` 1CO on boundary
•
and trade dsp�,>,x't, thou the U .fMet
Nations O>; gaatton.. can do no
more, than, the IJgue•of Nations to •
prevent war.
• Canada has ee ',ed from World
.War .Ili with. an , iuluAstry whose' ca-
pacity to produce is'.,extremely high
m relation to the small population of
the country. 1i indusl;rial exports
become as vital to Canadian econ-
omy as her farm products have in
the past, Canada will be completely
dependent for her welfare on world
peace and prosperity. However, un-
til such time as world government is
a reality instead of a pious nope,
Canada must be prepared with fine
other nations of the world to with-
stand aggression.
"Canada has always felt relative-
ly secure from attack by an aggres-
sor nation. What about the future?
In World War II Canada and the
United States became known as the
Arsenals of Democracy. It was their
ability to produce unhindered the
war materials for the battlefronts
that made victory for the Allies pos-
sible., In the past weapons did not
exist which could reach the indus-
trial heart of the United States or
Canada.
"What are the defence needs of
Canada. Canada's defence forces
may be -required
(a) To defend Canada against ag-
gression;
(b) To" assist the civil power in
maintaining law and order within
the country;
(c) To carry out any undertaking
which by our own voluntary act we
may assume in co-operation with
friendly nations or under any effec-
tive plan of collective action under
the United Nations.
"Our first line of defence and the
object of Canada's defence policy is
to work with other nations to• pre-
vent war. Canadians are a peace -
minded people. We covet no terri-
tory, nor do we wish to impose our
will on other people. It can be truth-
fully said that it is the earnest desire
of all Canadians to work towards the
development of resources within our
• great country; to build in peace a
- better country. Let us be like the
builders of -King Solomon's temple
who carried on the building with
trowels in their hands and swords
at their sides that they might be
ever ready to defend the holy city
and sanctuary against unprovoked
attacks of their enemies.
"Many people consider that the de-
fence of Canada is the sole responsi-
bility of the Armed Services. Such
a defence force, however, plays a
very minor role in the defence of the
country during peace time. The Arm-
ed` Services are only the tools. The
defence of Canada depends upon the
awareness of each and every citizen
of current international events and
their effect on Canadian security,
and upon the interest that everyone
takes in the Armed Services.. Re-
member that time and space can
no longer be considered as a large
part of the defence of Canada.
"Look upon the Services as you
would upon the city police forces.
The biggest consideration in a police
force is that so long as it remains an
efficient and up-to-date force it will
act as a deterrent to the activities of
the underworld. It is a form of in-
surance and it is the duty of every
citizen to indicate how much he is
willing to pay for that type of insur-
ance. As long as it is necessary to
maintain police forces, it will be nec-
essary to maintain Armed Services.
When the world is inhabited with
peoples who respect the rights of all
other men, then and only then will
police forces be unnecessary." - ,

SUBSIDIES --NOT GIFTS
(Strathroy Age -Dispatch)
As we have pointed out before in
these columns these grants or subsi-
dies from provincial or federal gov-
ernments are in no wise gifts. Gov-
ernments, whether municipal, pro-
vincial or federal, have only one
source of revenue and that is the tax-
payer. A grant from provincial or
federal governments merely means
that the money to pay for these
"gifts" goes to a different source and
perhaps we don't realize that we are
paying it. But it is still paid out of
taxes and unless we are paupers and
someone else is keeping us,we help
to pay these taxes

Presents Splendid Concert
The Modern Male ,Chorus of Kit-

Wingham Kinsmen Club, presented
a splendid coneert of song last Fri-'
day evening in the Town Hall. The
chorus, under the leadership of
Arnold Earl, is made up of a group
of men who get together to sing
for the sole pleasure of singing.
Many well-known songs such as
"Winter Song," "Swing Along" and
"Dry Bones," were presented with
several sacred and southern num-
bers, They were assisted by Clay -
and flute duo. The proceeds of the
evening were used to assist Earl
Jenkins, of Wingham, a recent ac-

that a much larger audience did
not turn out to assist the Kins-
men in their first major effort.—

Tomatoes Helped By Hormone
Spray
It is the early fruit that. brings
the highest cash returns from
staked tomatoes; but early fruit
set, upon which early ripening de-
pends, is often prevented by low
night temperatures. It does not
seem to matter how high •the tem-
perature goes during the day.
Tomatoes will not set when the
night temperature is below 59 de-
grees F., a situation that is often
encountered when the first trusses
are inflower.
The use of plant hormone sprays
on the blossoms when the nights
are cool may help to overcome
this poor setting of fruit, It may
also help to speed up the ripening
process of the fruits that are set.
In experiments conducted at the
Division of Horticulture, Central
Experimental Farm, Ottawa, plants
of the Bonny Best and John Baler
varieties whose blossoms were
sprayer with a hormone, have pro-
duced up- to three times as much
fruit as untreated plants during
the first two weeks of the picking
season. This, says A. W. S. Hun-
ter of the Division of Horticulture,
amounted to a yield of one and
one-half pounds instead of only
one-half pound per plant. The re-
sults vary from year to year, de-
pending
o-pendinr upon the weather, but the
small expenditure in labor and maar
terials is worth while.
Hormones for use on tomatoes
are sold under various trade names
and may be purchased in concen-
trated form at moat seed stores.
In diluting the concentrated pro-
duct, particular attention should
be given to whether an American
or an Imperial gallon of water is
called fon If the product is made
in the United. States and does not
specifically mention the imperial
gallon, the American measure of
32 ounces should be used. The ex-
tre eigbt ounces in the Imperial
gallon is enough to make an ap-
preciable difference in the efficacy
of the spray.
The diluted hormone solution
may he applied with any type off
sprayer that gives a firs, concen-
trated spray- A knapsack or a
compressed air sprayer, fitted with
a fine nozzle and a trigger or
spring actuated shut-off valve is
suitable. If only a few plants are
to be treated• a nasal atomizer
may be used.
The spray should be directed at
the blossoms only, and the blos-
soms should be thoroughly wetted.
It is neither necessary nor desir-
able to spray the whole plant, al-
though no appreciable damage
will be done by a small amount of
spray drifting onto the foliage.
Spraying should commence as soon
as the first flowers open and
should be repeated at least at'
weekly intervals as later flowers
appear. Spraying should be cote
tinued until the night temperatures.
are regularly above 59 degrees.
New Regulations p'or Cattle to U.S.
Effective from May 9, 1949,
ehaiigee are ,being made by • the
Milted States Bureau of Athtrflhl
Industry in the regulations 'whicti
govern the importation into the
United States of Canadian cattle.
These phanges are concerned
with the general health certificate
and possible detention at port of
entry; with the tuberculin -test cer-
tificates both for cattle from ac-
credited herds, the 'herds in ac-
credited areas; for cattle in re-
stricted, areas; and for range cat-
tle. Also covered in the amended
regulations are the requirements
for brucellosis -test certificates. The
regulations for United States cat-
tle returning from expositions in
Canada are •included.
Copies of the amended regula-
tions have been mailed to Veterin-
arians and Inspectors of the Health
of Animals Division, Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture, to offi-
cials of provincial governments,
and. ,to cattle associations, to ac-
quaitit them with" the required
changes.
Those shipping cattle to the
United States after May 9, should
be certain that the accompany cer-
tificates are in accordance with the
amended regulations,
Clean Seed Prevents Weeds
New chemical discoveries in re-
cent years to assist in the eradica-
tion of weeds, have tended to ov-
ershadow one of the simplest ways
of reducing weeds in the farm.
And that is, don't. plant :them.
When using farm grown eeed it
is• false economy not to clean it
thoroughly, as partially cleaned
seed is one of the quickest ways
of increasing weeds around the
farm. It should not be a matter
for congratulation if the material
screened out is not large, unless
there is assurance that the seed
remaining is clean and as free
front weed seeds as possible.
Small seeds in particular, such
as clover, alsike and red clover are
not easily cleaned, and these small
seeds are often sown when they
would be classed as "rejected" un-
der Regulations of the Dominion
Seed Act, or at best would grade
only as No. 2 or No. 3. Many farm-
ers consider that No- 3 seed is not
really fit for sowing.
Seed that is offered for sale for
seeding in Canada comes under the
provisions of the Dominion Seed
Act, and the regulations. regarding
the weed seed content are most
stringent. Weeds which are known
to be tremely noxious and which
have not become established, in this
country are not allowed :in any of
the three seed grades. Weeds which
are very difficult to eradicate and
cause heavy crop losses are not
permitted in No, 1 seed grade.
Fortunately these weeds are not
widely distributed. Secondary nox-
ious weeds unfortunately are wide-
ly distributed and they cause heavy
crop losses. Seeds of sueh weeds'
are allowed in very limited Mem-
ber hi the seed grades.
A final group are the weeds
which tante less crop damage and
Which can be easily eliminated by
good cultural methods. The Act
ailowe for greater tolerance of
seeds -int this group.

Private Breeding Record
Man is prone to make mistakes
and to forget dates and details and
the shopkeeper writes down each
transaction just as it occurs. In
livestock recording the same sys-
tem is needed. Each breeder
should have his private breeding
record book and keep it up to
date. Every day evidence reaches
breed association recording offices
that a date of birth, a service date,
or some other detail has been for-
gotten. Associations have regula-
tions favoring early identification
and registration largely to reduce
the number of errors.
The Live Stock Pedigree Act re-
quires each breed Association to
provide for "the keeping by its
members of private breeding .re-
cords and the manner in which
they shall be kept." Authority to
Inspect private breeding records is
provided for in the Act. While
many incidental inspections 'are
made by Health of Animal Inspec-
tors, R.O.P. inspectors, or herd
classifiers, it is felt that it would
be of material benefit to breeders
if more inspections were made,
with the object of helping breed-
ers develop a good system of pri-
vate breeding records,.
Most breed associations provide
books at a nominal price for keep-
ing private breeding records. These
are designed to provide a complete
record, and, it may be found advis-
able for each breeder to secure one
anduse it. Sometimes, in a per-
sonally developed 'system some
part of the record needed may be
omitted. In the case of loss of a
certificate, and investigation of
registration, or question regarding
pure bred livestock, a good private
breeding record is very valuable.
It establishes confidence in a pur-
chaser if a complete record is
available and it is a constant
source of satisfaction to the breed-
er himself to have such a record.
