I Seed Display, Frbruanv 9 to 12th: The Farm Flock Lt is generally recognized through- out the poultry industry that one‘of the most rapid and effective means of improving farm p-oultny flocks is through the application of the Do- minion Hatchery Regulations. These regulations, with the co-operation. of the provinces, are accomplishing good results. To lay the fOundation of a profitable farm flock, it is ne- cessary to start with gnod’ healthy utock. To enanle the farmer to ob- ~:in this kind of stock, regulations Lor the control of hatcheries were drawn up, with the co-operation of several of the provinces and at their request. Briefly, these hatchery regulations arovid‘e for the followingâ€"(1) all ’omsmercial hatcheries of over 1,000 The farm flock may be starteti by (1) the purchase of hatching eggs; (2) of day-old chicks; (3) of pullets ready to law; and (4) of adult breed- in': stock.

Ice Storage Methods When ice is readily available, the storage of a few blocks of it is a very simple matter. Anry unoccupied corner of a shed will serve the pur- nose. A rough iboard’ enclosure, ten feet square and eight feet high, will hold enough ice to provide 50 pounds per day for 130 days, after a110w\- ing for a reasonable amount of wast- age.

It is the sawdust which keeps the ice from melting.

Yet you can’t ignore. it. Once upon a time I taught Canadian thistorv. and I con- fess I found the constitutional part of it prettyr heavy slett'ling. Just the same, there is no choice; I shall {have to devote some space to the |sulbject now. The matter was thrust into the centre off things by Mr. Bennett, who made, in the course of a cooperative and. illuminating speech, the suggesâ€" tion that a constitutional convention of the several parties, provincial and federal, ‘be called to discuss amend- Can it be attained? An effort was’ made last year, but what with the attitude of the Senate and the db- jections raised by several provinces, even that minor change could not be proceeded with. What hope would there be of an overhauling, aimed at’ bringing the constitution of 1867 in- to mesh with the conditions of 1937? The Mackenzie King government, accepting Mr. Bennett’s suggestion in the constructive way in which it was offered, still did not think that such a convention was necessarily the best way about it. Mr. Mac- kenzie King, putting- his finger on what he thought was the place where the shoe pinches most at the mom- ent, namelly the taxing powers and the social obligations of province and Dominion, seem-ed to favor a royal commission or series of commissions, not, perhaps, to go into the whole question immediately, “but to bear down on these immediate matters which demanded adjustment, and for which, indeed, some temporary re- lief might be needed even before a‘ commission could! report. (A Round Table Talk) Mr. Bennett, advocating a conven- tion of parts and parties, thought that a round table meeting- of this sort would start the revision hope- fully on its way. meeting: as those a’r Quebec and Charâ€" lottetown at which the foundations of the present Dominion were laid. He took it for granted that the conâ€" stitution needed revising. Most peo- ple, who have been in a posifion tq see how the present Act stands in the wav of reform, will agree with him. But how is it to he done? There must be reasonable unanimity of the nine provinces and the Dominion. Before the week was out, news from London added emphasis to the need of discussion between nrovinces and Dominion on this subject. It. is now clear that, as the B. N. A. act stands, the Dominion government has no administrative rights in the field of social; legislation. It cannot: enforce an unemployment insurance scheme, nor minimum wages, nor’ limitation of hours of labor, nor even old age pensions. These are, as the constitution is written, provincial measures. federal, be called to discuss amend- ing the B. N. A. act. He appar- ently had in mind §0me such historic (Questions Being Asked ?) Should they be left provincial mea- sures? If so, then we must give up all our ideas about national social legislation along the lines listed a- bove. Any province that wishes can put these measures into force: others need not. One sees what that means, and what problems of competition in‘ industry, of.miig'ration to provinces where social laws ape better, or to provinces where production is cheap- er, [what problems in' the fair diviâ€" sion of federal monies, are involved. Ottawa, Fell). 2.â€"â€"The constitution has occupied the centre of the poâ€" litical stage in the past, few day's. It is not a suibject which can ever expect to have a wide box-office appeal. You can write a fairly bright column about the abolition of hanging, or a new Canadian flag, or even Canada’s defence policy. But what can you do with the legal and Should the federal government be given power to administer social legâ€" islation by a reâ€"writing of the con- stitution? Shall there be the same minimum wage laws in PEI. as in‘ BC. or in Quebec as in Alberta? Is it desirable to have uniformity in such a diverse country? One sees the‘problems, here, boo. Now it seems more imperative than' ever to make a determined effort to discuss the constitution. Cana- dian-s now know how the present constitution divides the powers and‘ responsibilities. If the provinces are to set up unemployment insurance, minimum wages, old age pension! schemes etc. then obviously they will need to have their sources of reve- nue enlarged. If these social mea- sures are to be made national other sections of the RNA. will have to be re-written. But either way, the constitution must be changed. THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO The Week in Parliament By Wilfrid Eggleston The Senate has just resumed again uaiflber a recess to wait for legisla- tion. It has» been decided to continue the study of electoral reform which was begun last session, including the desirability of compulsory voting, a compulsory registration, ‘P. R.’ and other changes. The prime minister set forth as clearly as it has ever been done in parliament what his policy would be in the event of war breaking out. He would summon parliament, and parliament would take the responsi-* bility for such action as it saw fit; This would apply, even if it was a‘ war in which the British Empire“ was involved, and concerning which, presumalblly', Britain had already choâ€" sen on which side it was standing. (Our War Policy) As Mr. Mackenzie King’s words‘ mayâ€"though everyone hopes they will notâ€"«become of vital significanlee‘ “Over and over again we have laid down the principle that so far as; participation in war is concerned, it‘ will be for the parliament of Canada to decide. Having taken that atti- tude with respect to participation, 1' think we might Well take the same attitude with respect to neutrality. It will be for this parliament to say in any given. situation whether 01" not Canadia shall remain neutral." ‘ Mr. Woodswovth a moment later asked: “Does his statement mean‘ that, even though the British Empire‘ is involved, we sltall remain neutral until parliament decides '3" To which the prime minister repeated his state- ment that parliament would decide. in f‘ne early future. a few lines should be quoted on this. point: ‘ In the same debate the prime min- ister felt called upon to make a statement about the increase in Can- ada’s defence estimates: “I am not‘ going to anticipate what the Min- ister of Defence man,“ have to say when the estimates of his department are before this house for discussion. But I do wish to say at once that, as far as the estimates presented to parliament at this session are con- cerned, any increase placed there has been only 31nd solely because of what’ the government believe to be necess- ary for the defence of Canada and for Canada alone. “The estimates have not been framed with any thought of partici- pation in European wars. They have not been framed as a result of any’ combined effort or consultation with‘ the British authorities, beyond what would obviously be in the interests' of all in the matter of gaining the” benefit of expert opinion where ex- pert opinion was obviously desir- able.” < v ‘ (Other Subjects) The B. N. A. act was not, of course. the only item on the bill of fare in recent days, though it was the leading one. We also had an’ important statement of Canada’s waI‘ and defence rolicy, some debate a- »bout a world peace conference, a de- cision to set up a c0mmittee regardâ€" ing the abolition of hanging as a death penalbv, some estimates, a dis- cussion over trap licenses in B. C. salmon fishing waters. No doubt we shall hear more along these lines when the votes for the‘ new aeroplanes, new coast defences and so forth, are before the House. (The Coronation Flags) A vote of $65,000 for ‘decorations‘ for the coronation’ in the public works estimates gave rise to some‘ comment. A. W. Neill, Independent: Liberal, observing that if it happen- ed to be a wet day, these decorations would not look very beautiful any- how, and suggesting that instead the money be applied to some useful ob- ject, as was the money collected for the Cancer Fund in connection with the Silver Jubilee of George V. The debate on the motion to in- vite President Roosevelt to call a‘ world conference on peace, moved by A. A. Heaps, Labor, Winnipeg, af- forded an opportunity for some use- ful discussion, but was not accepted by the government, the feeling that it would not be fitting for Canada: to make such a suggestion to the‘ United States. Hon. C. H. Cahan, one of the most erudite members in the House, gave in this connection The Minister of Pulblic Works, how- ever, defended the appropriation, on the ground that a gneat many peo- ple across the country would be dis- appointed if some decoration of pub- lic buildings for the Coronation did not take place, and eventually the vote was approved. a survey of the peoples and politi- cal structures of the Latin American races, and argued that we were well‘ advised not to get too involved in‘ their politics by anything like a Pan‘ American union.
