ISAAC BAKER R. R. No. 2 THORNHILL, ONTARIO 7 Then came the election of 1930. The Conservatives in Elgin West were confidentâ€"and with justification. Hepburn had caught them napping in 1926, but they would not repeat that lapse. They were out to beat him. However, the Liberal tide throughout the country was ebbing fast. What happened? The country gave Mr. Bennett 5: landslide victory but in (Continued on page 3) declined with thanks only half be- lieving that the strategists were ser- ions. Then the official Liberal candidate, W. F. Tolmie of Rodney, announced that he was withdrawing in Hepbm'n’s favor. The Liberal convention was held in St. Thomas a week later, on August 12th, and Hepburn was nomi- nated. Amid the excitement and en- thusiasm of the hour he accepted. It was his thirtieth birthday. Nobody really expected him to winl‘ in Elgin West. There had not been“ a Liberal elected in the riding- since G. S. Casey won in 1891. Hugh Mc- Killop's majority had been cut to 736 when the Dominion went Liberal in 1921 but that was the nearest ap- proach to a Liberal victory in thirtyâ€" five years and in 1925 Mr. McKillop had promptly bounded back with his record majority of 1,825, even against a man like Geo. Sloggett. The outlook was that the McKillop majority would be increased again in 1926, especially against an untried opponent like this young farmer, Mitch Hepburn. g. First Victory But Hepburn did win. He worked ‘ day and night. He made speeches : such as Elgin West had never heard before. And, more than anything, heI wen into every corner of the riding . with that compelling likeability of his ' and made people want to vote for him. ' He squeezed through with a. majority - of 178â€"a turnover of 2,000 votes. ' THIS MAN HEPBURN THE LIBERAL. RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO That Wis in July, 1930. A few months later, in December, the Lib- erals of Ontario 'Were to hold a con- vention to choose a provincial leader. Hepburn was approached and definite- 1y declined to consider it. What pos- sible reason could he have for want- ing to take the leadership of Ontario’s Liberal party? His future in the larger federal field seemed certain, and the Ontario outlook was not prom- Elgin West Mitch Hepburn won again and in winning he inqreased his ma.- jority to the substantial margin of 1,437 votes. he had" to agree to return from the 'south and attend the convention though he still insisted that he would not consider the leadership. He reach- ed Toronto the night before the con- vention and was routed out of bed to attend a meeting in the King Edward Hotel. The leading Liberals of On- tario were waiting for him. They backed him into 3 Corner and got to work on him. At three in the morning he gave in with one conditionâ€"that the people in Elgin would agree. The Liberal heavyweights attended to E1- gin by telephone'and persuasion and that afternoon the convention made Mitchell Hepburn the Liberal leader of Ontario. The only stipulation attached was Mr. Hepburn's promise to the Elgin Liberals that he would finish his term at Ottawa and that he would never be a. candidate, either federal or provin- cial, for any but an Elg'in riding. This ising. His Elgin West executives strenuously objected; they had found a man at last and they did not pro- pose to lose him. The feeling in 0t- tawa was the same. To these objec- tions the Hepburn family added theirs, with domestic emphasis, and finally Mr. Hepbum’s wife and mother per- suaded him to take a holiday with them in Florida in order to escape the situation. But there was no escape. The pressure put upon him was such that promise has kept him in the House‘ of Commons and out of the Ontario legislature during the last three yearsâ€"a somewhat difficult situation but not a unique one, for Rhodes in Nova Scotia, Baxter in New Bruns- wick and Tolmie in British Columbia (all Conservatives) have acted as pro- vincial leaders While sitting at Ot- tawa as federal members. Not In It For Fun So there you have the story of Mr. Mitchell Hepburn’s entrance into poli- ties and something of his subsequent performance. It hardly seems to be the story of a man who shoved him- self into politics for fun. And when yOu talk with him, the impression you get is certainly one of serious busi- ness and hard work. I remember ask- ing him: “Do you really like this life?” “No,” he said, “nobody could real- ly like living this way.” “Then why do you do it?” “Well, I’ve been picked to do this job and it’s up to me to do it, and of course there is very great satis- faction in trying to accomplish some- thing worthwhile and feeling that you are getting there. The travelling and lack of sleep and the being away from home all the time are hard but the purpose of it all is worth While. I try to feel it makes up for the other part.” Mr. and Mrs. Laking, Alliston, vis- ited with Mr. and Mrs. H. Chantler on Sunday. Mrs. (Rev.) Coulter, Brampton, will addreSS the Mothers Day service at Knox on Sunday, the 13th inst, at 2:30 pm. “That's an embarrassing question, but to answer it honestlyâ€"yes, I would. I think anybody would, be- cause federal issues are larger and affect more people. But no man can pick his place in this life and I have been given a job to try to do in On- tario that is big enough for anybody. It is certainly big- enough for me. This is my work and I’m into it with all my heartâ€"and in it to stay.” “I know; I’ve heard that too. I don’t think it’s so. I can tell you quite honestly that I have never made a public statement without knowing my facts and, as far as I know, no statement I’ve made regarding issues in Ontario has ever been disproved â€"although some of them seem almost unbelievable. I think I’ve a habit of using “"‘“&ses.-Withwa Sting-{gin them 93'.“ maybe they sound reckless to the people involved. It’s hard not to sting when you are dealing with things that are wrong.” “You speak of the purpose, M'r. Hepburn. What is your purpose exâ€" actly to win the election?” “What do you think your weak- nesses are, Mr. Hepburn?” “You’ll have to ask somebody else or”â€"with a grinâ€"“read the papers. A man doesn’t catalogue his own weaknesses very accurately, though I know I have plenty.” “I've heard that you are inclined to make reckless statements and that you are irresponsible in your speech. What do you think about that?” “Winning the election is the neces- sary means to the end. The real pur- pose is to‘ try to give Ontario good governmentâ€"to try to correct some of the things that have been done." ’ Mrs. Smith and daughters of Tor- tonto have taken Mr. G.

HENDERSON Thornhill, Ontario Hot Water Heating and General Repairs ELDER NEWS Brooding Quarters Colony houses are preferable for brooding purposes as they can be re- moved to fresh ground. Feed and water containers should be scrubbed Ontario Pastures Over 23 per cent or one acre out of every four of the improved lands in Ontario is in pasture. The estimated total returns on pasture in the form of live stock products from June to October yearly is approximately $40,- 000,000. Of this $34,000,000 is deriv- ed from dairy produce. Results from experiments have shown that by pro- per management and improving fer- tility of the soil returns could be in- creased from 100â€"200 per cent on a very large proportion of pasture. The Best Varieties of Grain A new pamphlet bearing the above title and prepared by the Cereal Div- ision, Experimental Farms Branch, is now ready for distribution. This pam phlet lists the varieties which are recommended province by province across Canada in the case of wheat, oats, barley, peas and flax for seed. A separate pamphlet prepared jointly by the Cereal Division and the Ontario Agricultural College, dealing with both spring and winter wheat; in Ontario, is also available. Help Egg Production Two factors that have most to do with the revenue from eggs are the prices received and the rate of pro- duction. Unfortunately, the price paid for the product is not always subject to the will of the poultryman, but the rate of production is in his hands and his alone. A much higher yield is within reach of any breeder who will give some care to his flock. A good male has been known to pay for himself many times over. At one of the Dominion Experimental Branch farms, a careful selection of breeders has resulted in an average increase over five years of 73 eggs per hen, the production being raised from 141 to 214. The Egg Laying contests also have demonstrated what is possible to be done in good farm flocks. Since the contest started in 1919 the aver- age yield has increased frOm 120 to 178. The average production in the 1931-32 contest was 175 eggs, and as this average was taken from a total of 4,370 birds, entered by 437 breed- ers in the 13 contests throughout the whole Dominion, the average may be taken as fair for the better classes of breeders in Canada. Further, the hatchery approval and cockerel dis- tribution policies of the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture are at the disposal of those building up poultry flocks.

Surface water will then be filtered through at least 10 feet of earth seeping into the well. This angle of marketing must re- ceive more study if lesses in live stock are to be reduced to a minimum. At present, by far the greatest vol- ume of live stock is offered on Mon- days and- Tuesdays. The result of this condition is that a considerable percentage must be held over some- times until Friday, necessitating the prense of one or two extra days of feeding in addition to freight and other charges. Sanitation in the Oats For Hay and Pasture The dry season of last year fol- lowed by a long cold winter has re- sulted in feed supplies. being pretty well used up and many farmers face a shortage of hay. Under these circum stances it becomes necessary to sow some kind of annual crop In the spring- which can be out later. For this pur- pose there is nothing better than oats or a mixture of peas and oats. Oats grow fairly well in cool weather and for this reason seedling some oats as soon as the land is ready so as to get a crop of hay early in the season. Peas thrive in cool weather, also when mixed with oats improve the quality of the feed. Two bushels of oats and one of peas is the correct rate of seeding. NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER Indicated as Necessity A survey of conditions at the Union Stock Yards, Toronto, made by the Ontario Marketing Board, would in- dicate that there is a definite need for a more even distribution of live stock offerings during the five trad~ ing days of each week. Study of Distribution; THURSDAY, MAY 10th, 1934 clean daily. Litter should be kept clean and sweet. Stands covered with small mesh wire should be used to place feed and water vessels on, preventing chicks from picking up disease germs in the .waste feed spilled on the litter. Do not use mouldy feed or dirty water. Where hens are used for brooding, dust often to control vermin, using Sodium Fluoride or Sulphur. Blue Ointment weakened with lard or vaseline may be used on the young chicks and mothers. Orchard Sod Treatment A very interesting experiment in the comparison of two systems of sod treatment in orchard management has been in progress for many years at the Dominion Experimental Sta- tion at Fredericton, N. B. Forty- three Fameuse and thirtyâ€"one Mc- Intosh apple trees are under obser- vation. In one block, the grass is cut and removed as hay. In the other block, the grass is cut and left as a mulch around the trees. No addi- tional mulching material of any kind has been added‘, and the fertilizer treatments have been identical on the two blocks. For the 14-year period, 1920-1933 inclusive, the average yields per tree are considerably high- er under the sod-mulch system and clearly indicate the advisability of this treatment. With the Fameuse variety the average annual increase per tree has been 3.33 peeks, and with the McIntosh 2.76 peeks per tree.
