WEDNESDAY. MARCH 7, 1934 "mff N AlVAWCE F. R. OLIVER SPOKE p. R. Oliver, i.M.L.A.. contributed to the deoatc on the si>eech of the Throne in thf Ix-Kislature on Wednes- day of last Week. His remarks were mainly confined to the condition ol the agricultural industry and made reference to the British bacon quota He also drew attention to the excess- ive stock yard charges and stated that the stock yard and the packing houses are the Siamese twins which are fleecintf the farmer out of too great a proportion of his hard earned dollar; they virtually set the price, collect the rake-off, and send the paltry re- turn back to the farmer. Pedlar's Snow Plane A picture of a snow piano, owned by Mr. Charles Pedlar of Neepawa, Man., an old Artemesia boy, has just some to hand. The body of the plane is built similar to that of a cabin airplane with vision in front foi driving and also on the upper struc- ture. The cngiine, with propellei attached, is situated at the rear and above the body, the whole carried by four stout ski-runners. It is a neat little machine and Charlie says that it will travel over the fields as well as it would ou the road and will make (iO miles an hour. He is real proud of his snow plane, as it was built in his garage at Neepawa, where ht conducts the Chevrolet agency. DONATE OI.D SALES BOOK Thomas E.

There were fourteen boys in tlie cast. In the first half of the â- program they were dresxod as girls and gave a very entertainint? exhibit- ion. In the last half of the program the lads fairly outdid themselves in a minstrel show which brought forth continuous roars of laughter. The outstanding pleasure of the evening was the rendering of "The Old Spinn- ing Wheel" by Donald Scott, who is only eleven years of age, but who possesses a very pleasing voice for a child. His enunciation was cleai and his voice very true. All the numbers on the program were well rendered and (b^ougl^i iforth many praises from the large audience. A very hearty vote of thanks was tend- ered Mr. Chappie for his work in tutoring the lads. The finances of the Rangers were added to by sixteen dollars, which, at the low price ol admission, was very good indeed.

Fewer Road Foremen A change is expected this year in the number of road foremen employed by the Grey County Roads Commis- sion. In 1932 twenty-seven men were employed as road foremen, last year the number was reduced to IB and is expected that this year only eight overseers will be appointed, with a considerable saving in expenditure. Each of the foremen will have his beat extended considerably and will super- vise the work on each section of his beat in place of actually working on any proposed undertaking, as most ol the maintenance work and other road repairs will be accomplished through the power graders used by the load committee last year. The road com- mittee has not made public as yet who will compose the group of road foremen. VAB UTODK BBBTlCa F. T. HILL&CO.,Ltd.

The unlovely things and unattrac- tive places in Canada that displease the eye are made by man. It is time he set out to undo some of the damage that has been done. There are primrose paths for all to tread who care to make them. An amaz- ing amount of worry can be spaded under along those paths in the bright spring afternoon. Since Adam tilled the first garden many pastimes have come to claim their thousands but have passed out of the picture while gardening has stood through the cen- turies. There must be something in it. Buy some flower seeds, plant some flowers or shrubs this coming spring. Help ta make Canada more beautiful. THE FIRST THAW The long period of zero weather was broken on Thursday and a heavy thaw set in that took considerable of the snow away and left the streets in town covered with slush. We are fortunate in this district to reside on a watershed with no won-y of serious floods to bother us. During the past few days the creeks and river.s have risen considerably, but the main flow will not arrive until warmer weather and tlie rains arrive. The water in the Hydro Lake at Eugenia has been very low recently and the thaw will provide more water for the generation of electricity for the Georgian Bay Hydro System. Farm Outlook B ghler Completed survey of the statistics for 1033 paints a brighter picture ot farming in this province than in any year since 1928. Total value of field ciops jumped |8,371,000 in 11)33 from the 11)32 total, the final report shows and this despite a decreased acre- age sown, and a volume of field pro- duction reduced 9.7 per cent. Field crops harvested from a total acreage of 0,19-1,80() in 1933 had a value of $124,679,000, the report re- veals, and a rise of 19 per cent in average prices for farm products da reported. And the considered view of the ex- pert indicates continued improvement Under the guidance of Hon. T,. L. Kennedy, the department is embark- ing upon an even more energetic pro- gram of inspection and grading ol farm products, of extension of British Empire markets and of increasing do- mestic consumption of Ontario pro- ducts. Aa forecast in the Speech from the Throne, Col. Kennedy proposes meas- ures to aas-i."*! in more careful grad- ing of product.s, to provide for im- proved livestock strain.s and to aid associations formed to push particular products in home and foreign mar- kets.
