With the price of sugar still practically at an all- time low level, price paid to farmers for the beets has shown no upward trend as yet, but this year the beet growers received about $5.60 per ton for his product. , The future outlook of beet prices sfmw no encouraging signs. say offi- cials of the company. The large WOY‘ld surplus of sugar, which had been cut down somewhat since 1933 will be increased again by the com- ing world crop, they say. 'the!‘ away have been paid approxi- mately $2,000,000, and 80,000,000 lbs. of granulated sugar has been made. Sugar Beet Production With the run of sugar beets for 193': completed the Canada and Do- minion Sugar Company of Chatham anr'z Wallaceburg, Ont., have an- nounced that more than 350,000 tons of beets have been handled. Farm- ers of Kent county and‘ districts far- There is every reason to expect a satisfactory movement of the 1936 poultry crop both in Canada and in export trade. This should have a strengthening influence on the situ- ation during the marketing season of 1937, although an early return to the prices which prevailed in 1935 is not normally to be expected. The canning of poultry meats in Eastern Canada has increased considerfily in recent years through the duelcpment of an export trade in this pro‘luct. win nc market The Poultry Market Prices of poultry in the Canadian domestic market in 1936 were lower than in 1935. The poultry cr0p of 1935 was marketed by producers at prices which represented a substanâ€" tial increase over those of the years immediately preceding, Subsequent developments proved that the farm selling price of this poultry was too great in relation to the domestic or to the export market prices. This experience showed that there is a price 'limit for poultry, in compari- son with the relative prices of other meats, beyond which the consumer will not give active support to the The year 1936 was the fourth in succession in which the Canadian wheat crop has been estimated at less than 300 million bushels. The 1936 wheat crop is now estimated at 229,- 218,000 bushels from 25,289,000 acres The number of hogs graded in Can- ada during 1936 was 3,745,498 as a- gainst 2,969,311 in 1935, an increase of 776,187.

College Royal On March 3rd, the live stock of {the Ontario Agricultural College will ‘be on parade as a part of the Thir- teenth Annual College Royal Show. iMore than two hundred animals of :the College herds and flocks have [been assigned to individual students. iThese will be unfler the care of the students until the time of the show when they will be exhibited in the iive stock pavilion. The student is judged on the basis of Showmanship and the improvements in the animal assigned to :his care. This is an im- Iportant day in the history of the i College and gives an opportunity for ‘the students to display their ability l :in the handling of livestock. | In the gymnasium will be staged {a large number of educational exhi- !bits by the various student soaieties iand' groups. Here again will be a gspirited contest on the part of the students on the basis of display and Showmanship. Classes for exhibits [of bread, cakes, different articles of Iclothing, grains, potatoes, fruits, photographs, art and {handicraft work are provided. The artistic temperament is much like any other kind except that it takes more praise to keep it happy. Other officers elected were: Vic! Presidents, William Newman, Lorn: rifle, and L. H.

The lungs of an average man weigh approximately 40 ounces. The match will centre at Fergus from the Beatty farm and extend over an- area of 2,500 acres toward Elora, with Guelph as the nearest city, fourteen miles away. Several other bids for the contest were made to the association. William Newman, M.L.A., Lorneâ€" ville, suggested the plowing match might be terminated at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and that the horses taking- part should be shown on ex hibition after the contest. Mr. Newman also believed that th1 annual plowing contest might be en livened by a tug-of-war between tw horses andJ eight men. He claime that eight men on one side could dr feat two horses on the other side Friends of the College are invited to attend the College Royal which is under the leadership of a group of students headed by N. J. Denholm, The purpose of the show is to bring out phases of College teaching in a practical way and to promote inter- est among the students in live stock, grains, fruits, vegetables, home econ- omics and educational displays.

MacRae, Loohiel, Glengarry County, as 1937 President, and selected Wellington County as the scene of the annual international match. The meeting was the best in the l~is‘cory of the association, with far- mers from all parts of the Province attending it. Officers choosing the site of the annual match were elect~ ed by directors named at the annual meeting. as centres for distribution of trees for planting this spring. Cream and milk production is being maintained beyond expectations in Haldimand County. Farmers in Lambton are not inclined to sell their cattle at this time. Seed oats there are finding- a ready sale, with the majority of farâ€" mers asking $1.00 per bushel. Ox- ford reports a good deal of small seed being offered locally and the recent price of red clover was 231/2 cents a pound. Potato prices in Went- worth have been advancing gradually, selling at $1.90 to $1.95 per bag on the local market. Current Reports Bruce County reports plenty of hay on hand, but grain very scarce in some cases. In Grey County a canâ€" vass has been conducted, with 95% of the farmers favouring- a restricted T.B. area for the county. Farmers in Halltom are finding it necessary to buy seed grain outside the county. Perth farmers have a good supply of hay, but are obliged to buy grains. Many stockmen there find that last year's grains do not seem to satisfy the animals. Perth also reports that as a result of the reforestation and conservation campaign, the number of applications for trees from the Forestry Branch is much greater than usual at this time of year, while the. schools of Perth County are acting (Control Over Transport) The bill to give a Dominion Board wide powers over the regulation of transport is getting a thorough study in the Senate. The situation at present is that while the railways are under fairly rigid control, in regard to rates, Dams and dugouts, to preserve ‘run-off’, small irrigation schemes at which farmers and ranchers can grow sufficient feed to tide them over dry years; hard/y grasses; community pastures; demonstrations of new types of culture to end soilâ€"drifting; introduction of drought resistant va- rieties of grain and other plants; tree-planting wherever practicable. Where farmers can be moved from the lighter and less desirable soils to adjacent lands where success is more probable, government assist- ance will be given. (State Aided Housing) 'The Dominion Housing Act, though very slow in getting started, prOm- ises to do much better in 1937, Hon. Charles Dunning told the House last week. In the first six months the money loaned for the building of homes was only $810,000; in the se- cond six months it jumped to $3,- rl37,000. The final quarter of 1936 showed home-building under the =cheme four times that of the same quarter of 1935. To the end of Jan- Jal'y, 1937, a total of 1,119 ‘family mits’ (houses and apartments) had ‘een provided for a total cost of $5,~ 76,000. The early operation of the wt was mainly confined to the niddle residential class’ and the av- rage loan was $4,861. In January his average had dropped to $4,123, .‘hich suggests that the more mod- ost of a. dwellingâ€"the junior mort- ;age money, usually so difficult to secureâ€"at a moderate rate of int- erest. Mr. Gardiner recalled the cycles of drought and hard times through which the prairies had passed, and reminded the house that an over- whelming proportion of the govern- ment assistance rendered ‘to the far- mers in the drought area of 1914 was returned to the government as soon as the farmers were able to sell two or three good crops at rea- sonable prices. (Finest Wheat In World) There are nearly a million people in the affected area. The Minister explained why that country, under favorable conditions, produced the finest hard spring wheat in the world. He showed that it had been a combination of low prices and light yields that had driven the people into destitution: before, there had been periods of low prices and good yields. and also periods of good prices and low yields. Such were trying, but could be overcome. But when price and drought together were against the farmer, it made the going espe- cially tough. He was confident that better yields were coming, and that a combination of higher prices with larger harvests would restdre that country to much of its old prosperâ€" ity. The original Drought Rehabilita- tion measure contemplated the ex- penditure of $750,000 the first year and a million a year for four subâ€" sequent years. The present bill per- mits larger expenditures if necess- ary. The Minister recalled that the drought had cost the Dominion Gov- ernment at least 50 millions; and it would be money well spent now, if ten millions or so were put into mea- sures Which would help to prevent another disaster of the same sort. (Program of Government) The steps being; taken by the fed- eral government, in co-operation with provincial and municipal author- ities, individual farmers, the rail- ways, the organized grain-growers and other societies include the foll- owing: Such was the message given to the House of Commons by Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture, on the second reading- of the Drought Rehabilitation Measure. The Minis- ter spent nearly two hours in giving the Chamber a long and interesting account of the country, its extent, its problems and its probable future. Ottawa, Feb. 16.â€"â€"The Dominion Government has not lost faith in the “drought-stricken" West; it is con- fident that five years from now or ten years from now the “open prair- ie” will still be supporting close to a million people. Believing this, and knowing of no part of Canada Where these people could be moved with any assurance that they would be any better off, it intends to finance the people through to better times, and meanwhile carry on a long-range scheme of reâ€"habilitation aimed at preventing a return of the recent drought disaster, in ‘he same degree at uleast. :t home~builder is beginning to find he scheme of some use. It will be ecalled that under this Act the D0- ninion loans of 20 per cent of the The Week in Parliament THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO By Wilfrid Eggleston g Mr. Rowe takes the stand that as 1-21 true disciple of Social Credit he ‘ cannot bpt deplore the failure so far Son the part of Premier Aberhart to :introduce Social Credit measures linto Alberta. He argues that things have got worse instead of better, and challenges his own group leader to show where the principles of Social 'Credit have been put into effect in Alberta. JOHN WALKER The death occurred last week in Alliston of John Walker in his 79th year. Mr. Walker was a resident of Albion township for many yeans where he first farmed and later worked on both the C.P.R. and: Grand Trunk Railways. Alex Walker of Maple is a ‘brother. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon with inâ€" terment a/t Morning-side Cemetery, Palg'rave. The leader of the group at Ott- awa, however, re-affirmed his con- fidence in Mr. Aberhart’s‘ plans. He observed that it was necessary to put Social Credit into effect by the use of strategy, and pointed out that Mr. Rowe could not be aware of the plans Mr. Aberhart had in mind to bring about Social Credit principles in. the province. The session to date has been one of unusual serenity. There are indi- cations that the Defence‘issue will liven matters up a bit. In addition to the estimates, which are provid- ing an opportunity for much discus- sion, 3. Liberal member has placed a resolution on the order paper which calls for a referendum of the Can- adian. people in the event of war breaking out elsewhere. regarding- which Canada might be inclined eith- er to join or to declare her neutral- ity. Rates on grain from the west ap- pear to be involved. It looks as though the major battle will be fought out on the question of competition on the Great Lakes. T. R. Enderby, of Canada Steam- ship Lines. one of the largest com- panies operating on the Great Lakes, commended the Government’s action in seeking to regulate freight rates on water-borne traffic. “We see in this bill,” he said, “a court of appeal or a referee in the matter of dis- putes regarding freight rates, and perhaps a conservation of the reve- nue of the various transportation companies which at present are be- ing sacrificed). Interested parties are app before the Senate Committee. “We are not particularly favorable to section 22 which provides that carriers may make such charges for the transport of goods as may be agreed upon between the carrier and the trader, provided that any such agreed charge shall require the ap- proval of the transport Board. We think that in part this section is helpful but it might be dangerous.” of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange. George S. Mathieson, secretary of that committee, assert/ed: “Such licensing and regulation of tolls. as proposed would seriously inâ€" terfere with the free movement of Canadian grain, with the adequate adjustment of rates to meet continu- ously changing conditions, would tend toward monopoly and to increase in the cost of lake transportation of Canadian grain.” This, he added, “would be to the detriment of the producers of Western Canada and be the means of diverting considerable traffic to other channels, to the deâ€" triment of Canadian lake carriers." The bill is being opposed by the ‘Shippers and Exporters’ committee A vigorous protest was also lodged by Robert D. Smith of the Northern Chartering Co. Ltd. of Winnipeg, who said that if conditions were unsatis- factory now on the Great Lakes it was due to the ill-advised purchase of ships by parties not particularly cognizant of the lake-shipping busi- ness. “They saw others making mon- ey under abnormal conditions and they took a flier. Now they want someone else to hold the bag...The proposed legislation would be of ben efit only to a couple of lines and would be detrimental to the other steamship owners and would tend to reduce the price the farmer receives for his grain.” (Rift in. Social Credit Ranks) The first rift in Social Credit ranks at Ottawa occurred when P. J. Rowe, member for Athabaska, quarrelled with his colleagues over the performance of Premier Aberâ€" hart. wages, hours of labor and so on, other competitive services, such as truck and bus, water-borne traffic, and aviation are not. The proposal is to bring- these oth- er types of transportation as nearly as possible within the same type of control, in fairness to the railway.
