.Hon. Humphrey Mitchell
The sudden death of Hon. Hum-
phrey Mitchell, for nearly nine years
Federal Minister of Labour, is a ser-
ious loss, not only to the Govern-
ment, but to the country. While for
some months he had not been in the
best of health, his death at the age
of 55 was most unexpected.
One of the most respected Mem-
bers of the Commons, Mr. Mitchell
was possessed of a down-to-earth
wisdom, and this, together with his
inherent honesty of purpose, con-
jtributed in a large measure to his
lability to do an outstanding job for
Canada in what is, admittedly, one
of the most difficult departments of
government. The strain of the war
years and since can not but have
been a contributing factor in his un-
timely death.
Mr. Mitchell was a native of Old
Shoreham, Sussex, England, the son
of a trade union father. He served
with the Royal Navy during the
First World War—going back to
England and joining up two years
after coming to Canada.
For many years active in munici-
pal politics and in trade union fields,
he faced his stiffest assignments
during and following the war. As
minister for most of the war, he was
responsible for the allocation of
labor to defence and civilian indus-
tries and for the operation of the
call-up system for military service.
During the period, he saw his depart-
ment expand from a few hundred to
more than 8,000 persons.
After the fighting, the job contin-
ued, with the Labor. Department
supervising the transition of the la-
bor force from a wartime to a peace-
time basis amid a round of major in-
dustrial disputes. And in every task
his bluntness, tempered with his
friendliness, played its part in a suc-
cessful outcome.
Mr. Mitchell's death leaves three
vacancies in the Commons—all Lib-
eral. A week earlier, the Rimouski
seat had been vacated by the death
of Gleason Belzile, parliamentary as-
sistant to Finance Minister Abbott.
The other vacancy was created by
the resignation of Georges Lapalme
(Joliette-Montcalm-Assomption) t o
become Quebec Liberal Leader.
The Commons standing now is:
Liberals, 185; Progressive Conserva-
tives, 43; C.C.F., 13; Social Credit,
10; Independent, 5; Independent
Liberal, 3; vacant, 3; total, 262.

Father of Hydro
The changeover from 25 to 60
/cycles, which recently commenced in
London, recalls to the Winnipeg
Free Press the contribution which
Sir Adam Beck, father of Ontario
Hydro, made to the economy of Can-
ada.
"Sir Adam had unusual ability
both in business and public life," the
Free Press says. "He was a manu-
facturer in London. From 1902 to
1919, and 1923 until his death in 1925,
he represented that constituency in
the Ontario Legislature, most of the
tame as minister without portfolio.
"He began advocating a publicly
owned power system for Ontario
during his first term as a legislator.
From the start his ideas met with
strong opposition, both in and out of
the Ontario House and for years he

a°a eat po 'er, but Tone saw
eart `t
an Sir Adam its po
tential in a province struggling to
establish itself as an industrial area
—potentially the industrial heart of
a great nation _and largely depend-
ent for power on imported coal.
"He believed this power must be
produced and sold cheaply, other-
wise its value as am instrunient of
development would be limited. In
1906 he introduced the bill that
launched Ontario• =dro, and until
his death he was chairman of the
Hydro Commission 'and the ultility's
presiding genius.
"Under the slogan 'power at cost'
it was built into one of the world's
first rank power enterprises, and has
provided the power base for develop-
ment of Canada's main industrial
area.

The Final Say
From a weather standpoint, the
farmer has had a difficult year. A
late Spring resulted in a rush of
work to get seeding finished. When
haying time came, almost continu-
ous rains caused the loss of much
valuable hay.
It all serves to remind us that no
matter how modern or labor-saving
may be the farm machinery, with
which almost every farmer today
has at his command, it is still the
weatherman who has the final say.
Incalculatable damage has been
done to crops throughout the district
by the torrential rains of the past
few weeks. The farmer has found it
impossible to get on with his har-
vest because of the wet weather.
And when the weather does clear he
will have difficulty in working many
fields where the grain is down and
badly lodged.

What Other Papers Say:
No Excuse
(Mildmay Gazette)
Often we have heard people say
that a good strong oath is a means
of "letting off steam." In such cases
it may be observed that the "steam"
would be well saved to solve the
problem which has created the orig-
inal irritation. Cursing is particular-
ly prevalent among adolescents who
seem to feel that they can make up
in foul vocabulary what they lack in
weight and experience. So universal-
ly true is this that profuse swearing
has become a hall mark of the more
ignorant type of young person.

Clover and the Bees
(From the New York Times)
Roadsides are sweet now with
honeysuckle and clover, the warm,
sweet fragrance of summer at its
peak. Honeysuckle begins to pass
its prime, though there will be blos-
som and lesser sweetness till the as-
ters bloom. But clover blooms all
summer long, a delight to bees, a
friend of the soil and a pleasure to
anyone who pauses to look.
One thing about clover: it takes
the soil as it finds it, sends down eag-
er roots, spends the whole season at
a complex chemical job and gives a
new supply of fresh nitrates to the
soil it occupies. Clover rebuilds the
soil, and is constantly reaching out
for new soil to reclaim. Give it half
a chance and it will take over a grav-
elly roadside or a worn-out field
where few other plants will grow,
and in a few seasons the clover has
given it new life. And all the while
the clover will cloak that soil in cool
green, brighten the landscape with
its miniature sweet pea blossoms and
feed every bee within range.
The one thing clover needs to
thrive is co-operation of the bees.
Take away the bees and the clover
won't outlast the season, as Austra-
lia learned long ago. For the bees
fertilize the clover blooms and thus
enable it to reseed itself. On the
other hand, take away the clover and
the bees would be hard put to fill
their hives. Clover honey outweighs
all other varieties, year 'after year.
It would be a dull and less frag-
rant summer without clover, and a
drab and diminishing world without
the co-operation of bees and clover.
Together they help keep the -planet
green and sweet,' •with no thanks
asked.

Mackenzie King Based
Faith in Peace. on God
Canada can beat honor the mem-
ory of Mackenzie 1Ung• by- follow-
ing faithfully "the Christian way
of life which was his, strength and
inspiration to the last," Rev. Ian
Burnett said in his memorial ad-
dress in St. Andrew's Presbyter-
ian Church, Ottawa.
Following is the text of the tri-
bute to Mr. King by Mr. Burnett:
"Last Saturday evening as •the
hour of 10 o'clock was being rung
out from the Peace Tower on
Parliament Hill, I stood in that
quiet bedroom at Kingsmere 'round
which the thoughts and prayers of
the Canadian people had been
gathered for many hours. A few
minutes earlier the soul of the
greatest Canadian of our time had
found release from its frail mortal
lodging and returned to God Who
is our home. William Lyon Mac-
kenzie King had reached the end
of his long, crowded and illustrious
pilgrimage.
"As I stood there looking down
upon the face of my personal
friend, two members of his person-
al staff—that staff which, during
so many months had surrounded
him with so much loyal and lov-
ing care—slipped into the room,
each carrying a vase of red roses.
They were not, however, the roses
of which the poet speaks, 'roses
for my dead, cold brow.' Rather
were they the crowning symbol of
an abiding devotion a$`d an im-
perishable affection. For he who
we mourn today will not be forgot-
ten among us. Indeed, I make bold
to say that, as the years pass, the
figure of Mackenzie King will grow
in stature and increase in great-
ness, until he enters into his true
and rightful place in the affection
and the gratitude of the Canadian
people.

ily worship.
"God be praisedfor the gift of
such a, home. It laid foundations
which all the storms which have
swept across the world during the
past half century could not shake.
God gives to our land, • to our
world, many such homes in the
years to come.
Yet it was no ordinary child for
whom this /home was prepared, but
a child endowed with quite uuus-
ual gifts of both body and mind.
Within the healthy, happy, stu-
dious atmosphere of that Ontario
home those gifts soon began to
reveal their real stature and
strength. It was no surprise to
find him taking a foremost place
at school and university, and then
crowning his academic laurels with
quite brilliant post -graduate stu-
dies at the Universities of Chisago
and Harvard.
"Very early it was clear that an
outstanding intellect and an able
leader had entered the social and
political field. Nor was it long be-
fore those who watched him fore-
saw the coming, Prime Minister of
this Dominion.
Testimony To Greatness
"Already he is entering into that
place. This great congregation
drawn from every corner of our
land and representing every see -
tion of our national and interna-
tional life bears testimony to this
fact.
"And that far greater company
from Newfoundland to Vancouver
Island, from the Arctic Circle to
the 49th parallel, sitting hushed
and quiet listening in to our ser-
vice, bears testimony to the real
greatness of our friend. We are
here this afternoon within this
old historic Church of St. Andrew's
where, for nearly half a century,
he himself worshipped so regular-
ly, not to strew 'roses on his dead,
cold brow,' but to give thanks to
Almighty God for the gift which
He gave to Canada and the world
on that December day nearly 76
years ago, when Isabel Graee Mac-
kenzie laid the new-born son of
John King in his cradle.
"Here for these few minutes let
us endeavor to find the measure
of this gift.
Gift To Canada
"The gift of Mackenzie King to
Canada was first the gift of a
good home for a great man. How
much this country owes to that
home we shall probably never fully
realize. To the end of his long
life he was profoundly grateful and
rightly proud of his family heri-
tage. He was unfailingly thankful
to God for the mother and father
who encompassed his early years
with so much love and wisdom,
with such high principles and deep
spiritual values.
"Often he spoke to me of that
home life, of his revered father
and beloved mother. Isabel King
is worthy to be numbered among
the great mothers of history, and
will be remembered so long as the
name of King is recalled in Can-
ada. Sunday was always `God's
day' in that home, and from the
study in Laurier House the ageing
statesman looked back with par-
ticular joy through the untarnish-
ed window of memory to those
Sunday evenings in the old home
when the whole family would gath-
1
Abreast Of Thought
"We would fail to understand
the real mental stature of Mr.
King if we thought of him as be-
ing purely a specialist in the fields
of political and social science. I
have never ceased to be impress-
ed by the catholicity of his knowl-
edge and interests. Again and
again he expressed regret that the
unrelenting burdens of office pre-
vented him from reading this or
that important work. Yet he was
able in a quite remarkable way to
keep abreast of modern thought,
while his love of the classics was
deep and abiding.
"I well remember how, during
one of the great crises in his politi-
cal career, he sought me out in my
study after church one morning
and shared with me some of the
almost insuperable problems which
he was called upon to solve. At
that time he felt his loneliness
particularly hard to bear.
"Yet there were two books be-
sides his Bible which brought his
comfort. These were Sir James
Barrie's "Margaret Ogilvy" and
Professor Streeter's "Reality." On-
ly last Tuesday, as we had tea to-
gether at Kingsmere, he returned
to Streeter's book and recalled
some of its particular fascination.
"The man who guided the des-
tinies of Canada over these many
years was Iiberated from the dan-
gers which beset the pure special-
ist. He was a specialist in his own
field, but his own specialization
rested upon the foundation of a
broad, liberal education which gave
to him a wider perspective and a
truer understanding of the rich di-
versity of life. Always for him
'the body was more than meat and
the life than raiment.' It included
'every word that proceeds out of
the mouth of God.'
"For this, tot, we must give
thanks. Canada has been blessed
in having at the head of her af-
fairs a man able to see life in its
wholeness, in its richness, in its
wonderful promise.
"'Knowledge without integrity,'
wrote Samuel Johnson, 'is danger-
ous and dreadful. Integrity with-
out knowledge is weak and use-
less,' It was the marriage of know-
Iedge with integrity which gave to
William Lyon Mackenzie King that
fundamental strength and stub-
borness which carried him across
the years to the highest place in
the councils and affections' of the
Canadian. people. 'Integrity,' de-
clared Socrates, 'is better than
charity. The gods approve of the
depth and not of the tumult of the
soul.'
Man Of Character

a man of mature character, a man

Care Of the Brood Sow
The only purpose of keeping a
brood sow is to produce young
pigs, and every care given the sow
is with a view to improving the
litter in number and health,
' The young gilt bred for the first
time, or the sow which has just
weaned a litter and been bred
again, both respond to liberal feed-
ing of oat chop with from one-
quarter to,half barley. For a pro-
tein supplement, milk ranks first
but failing this, five per cent tank-
age and five per cent linseed meal
may be, the next best.
A sow producing only one litter
per year may become too fat dur-
ing the period after weaning, and
before pregnancy, unless the feed
is reduced in both quantity and
richness of barley. The basal part
of the ration° is usually oat chop,
but as much as half barley may
be indicated. where sows are thin
or raising a large litter.
At the Dominion Experimental
Station at Scott, Sask., sows in
medium condition have frequently
been carried for a part of their
idle period on good pasture with-
out grain. A legume pasture is
best but if not available, dwarf
Essex rape or cereal crops are
very good. Itis important to hold
the brood sow in a medium condi-
tion for if allowed to become too
fat or too thin, a poor litter often
results,
A safeguard in the prevention of
goiter 'and hairlessness in litters
is to include from one-half to one
per cent fresh iodized salt in the
scars ration during the gestation,
period. In addition to supplying
the requirements of iodine -and,

salt, calcium is often lacking in
pig, rations, but may be easily sup-
plied by adding from one-half to
one per cent ground limestone to
the chop.
Feed should be reduced sharply
for a day at farrowing time and
made up of sloppy feeds with bran
and at the time of weaning the lit-
ter, the sow's feed should be re-
duced to a light feed of oat chop
with water until the secretion of
milk stops.
Exerdise is important, particu-
larly during the idle and gestation
period, and may be provided by
using a grass paddock in summer'
and in winter by having the feed
trough and sleeping quarters sep-
arated by at least 60 yards in an
outside paddock.
Hand feeding is preferred to self
feeders, and the feed should be
governed carefully, both in quan-
tity and mixture according to the
condition of the sows, and thin
sows are better separated for spe-
cial feeding. The old saying, "The
eye of the master fatteneth the,
stock" is especially true in the
case of brood sows.
There are reasons for and
against raising two litters per
sow, per year, but one good litter
in late spring when pigs can get
outside, is usually more satisfac-
tory than two litters produced un-
der difficulty and with consider-
able risk.
The production of two Utters
per year, per sow, is a mote spe-
cialized iheainese and offers a pro -
St only to the breeds% prepared to

Drilling For Oil in South Huron
Speculation that there may be
oil beneath the Hay and Stephen
swamp is being put to the test. A
drill already has located a .250400t
salt dome starting at 1,132 feet.
This find may be significant, but
drilling is continuing, since pro-
duction of oil and gas is the aiim
of the program. The drill is at
work on the Schenk farm, about
1% miles north of Crediton. Geo-
logical and surface surveys have
confirmed earlier opinions that the
formation in this part of Stephen
and Hay Townships in the south-
ern part of Huron County is fav=
orable for oil. Leasing of the min-
eral rights began several years
ago. About one year ago a group
of London businessmen and sev-
eral interested residents of t
area decided' to make thoroug
plorations. A prospecting syndi-
cate, known as the Ailstan Pro-
specting Syndicate, was formed.
After tests were made the Schenk
farm was chosen for a drill site.
The salt dome has stirred consid-
erable interest. The firm of H.
Evans & Sons, Tillsonburg, is in
charge of drilling: S. M. Julian, of
London, and William Oestricher,
of Crediton, have been responsible
I for organization of the venture.—
