URGES FARMERS SAVE SEED, FORAGE CROPS If the substantial requests in Can- ada for alfalfa, red clover and alsikt seed from the 1943 crops are to be met, it will be necessary for farmers t-i save and harvest as much seed of these crops this year as possible states Nelson Young, Seeds Admin istrator. Any seed harvested which will be surplus to the farmer's own requirements should be sold through the usual commercial channels and the prices should assart- a fair re- turn. At present such seeds arc retailing at the retail ceiling prices, said Mr. Young. In helping to overcome the short- age of protein feeds this year alfalfa, red clover and alsike, which are high in protein especially if cut early, should be more than ever relid upon While those engaged in dairying will need to con-serve as much of the for- age crops as possible, bhe Seed.* Administrator believes that they may be able to meet their feed require- mens and still save a part of the crop for seed. If they can do this they will help out the seed require- ments of those countries of thi Allied Nations which erpect to be ir short supply. MRS. GEO.

Colgan, editor of the Mark- dale Standard, was chosen as candi- date for the Progressive-Conserva- tive party in the coming Provincial election in South Grey. Mr. Colgan has been presiden and secretary ol the South Grey Conservative Assoc- iation and is well known throughout the riding. Two other names were placed before the convention held in Flesherton Thursday evening of last week, these being Ran. Brady of Markdale and W. L. Taylor of Sing- hampton, but both withdrew in favor of Mr. Colgan and made the choice of the convention- unanimous. Austin L. Ball of Hanover, president of tht Asosciation for South Grey, presided, and Mr. F. D. Sawyer of Markdale acted as secretary. Mr. Colgan spoke very briefly ir. accepting the nomination and stated that he would do everything possib' to bring back the riding of South Grey into the Conservative ranks ir. the Ontario Legislature, and aske;. for the full support of the electors Col. Gto. A. Drew, leader of th. Progressive-Conservative party in Ontario, was introduced by Mr. H. A McCauley of Flesherton. Col. Drev gave a splendid address to the largi number of delegates and others a. tre convention, and gave consider- i able time to the proxy vote, whk-h he declared was most unfair to vht soldiers who are serving their coun- try in the various theatres of war i .it the present time. He urged the electors to turn out in large numbers o? election Jay and to denounce ir no uncertain terms this latest mov> or the part of Premier Nixon and his supporter? to thwart the will of the electors. The speaker also touch ed on other important matters of provincial interest and declared th:r the time had come when a chance was needed in the management of provincial affairs. RAILWAY VS AIRPLANES And speaking of railroads, it is u far day before the airplains will be. come a serious competitor to the rail. ways in freight hauling. According to Washington, the volume of air car. irc now carried by United States aii lines could increase a hundred time.- und yet capture only one-tenth of one per cent of the freight-ton miles now carried by American railroads ami trucks. This does not mean, how ) aver, that the railways will not be ! hampered by airplane transportation j after the war. Even this one-tenth \ of one per cent may constitute the I cream of the hawl . and with an in- c'ease in plane transportation ol freight the railroads will be compelei' to hold their own. But it will be a long time before they are put out o! business, as some people seem to think.

LOST HEN AND DUCKS Recently D. W. Adams had som< Ir.e young ducks under the care >f . hen. One morning when she wen" out to feed the hen and 15 your ducks were dead in their wire cove: en pen.

This is our war. so let us lake sure that more ot our wounded boys wil! be given a chance for life, by donating our V>Uw<i. Don't wait to be asked, but n.';ri.-tt;r with the above at once.

WHAT DOES A FARMER GAIN The writer had various letters from farmers while the Farmers' Creditin^ Arrangement Act was operative i;: Ontario. It was intended to help the honest farmer in difficulties and pre- vent his being dispossessed while the tfomg was hard. As a matter of far M proved hardest on farmers who. for one reason or another, had solii or wanted to sell their farms. Be- f<-re this law they could sell at a modest advance and depend on princ- ip.i'. and interest money to financr their retirement. Too often the\ fi-und themselves cut off from princ- ipal and interest, unable to get back u.i'ir farms and obliged to accept i-'uts in principal and interest ever when they offered to buy back for what they were paid, or more. It wa> a serious blow to the suleability of Ontario farms, and fanners them- stives demanded an end- to this leg- islation. It is only a matter of time. I should think when his will happen in Western Canada. The majority of farmers are bound to suffer mon under this legislation than the others sain. The question is, will they find i f out in time to influence legislator; to pas? laws which will cause a re- newal of the fructifying capital flow to credit-worthy adults. By \\ . : ington Jeffers.
