The New Outlook believes it is a very grave reflection on present systems that we are not able to do anything in this vital matter. Every one of these unemployed men and women would be an asset to the country if only they were given a chance to work, but without work they become a liability, and instead of adding to the country‘s wealth they are compelled to ask for alms. This question is of much more vital inâ€" terest than are the fortunes of any political party, and ii would seem to be a matter of comâ€" mon prudence that all parties should get toâ€" gether and do what their combined wisdom may consider best to meet the grave issue which continues to press upon the nations. It is just possible that the evil has gone beyond the stage where it can be left to cure itself and just as in wartimhe it may be that measures will be called‘ for that are usually regarded as possible in a The figures for Canada are probably better than these, but we also are involved in the same difficulty. The United States Census Bureau anâ€" nounced a few days ago that there were in the Republic more than six million persons wholly unemployed, in addition to an army of partâ€" time workers. These figures were arrived at after a careful study of unemployment made in nineteen cities, beginning on January 15th. Last year the census figures for unemployment for these same cities were 775.565; this year the figures totalled 1,930,666. This would indiâ€" cate that the number of the unemployed has inâ€" creased in twelve months no less than 149 per cent. It is stated that there is now manifest a slight decrease in the number of unemployed but the totals are still alarmingly large. ‘ The annual value of forest products in Canada is placed at approximately $500,000,000 by the Canadian Government Forestry service and over 200,000 persons are employed in the extraction and manufacture of the products of the forests of the Dominion. There are about 3,000 saw mills and 108 pulp and paper mills in Canada. The saw mills represent a capital investment of $180,000,000 and the pulp and paper mills an investment of $660,000,000,. _ The _ former _ employ _ about 45,000 persons and the latter about 34,000, Published every Thursday by David Bean & Sous, Ltd., Waterloo, Ontario. In common with municipalities in general, Waterloo County is seeking to reduce expenâ€" d tures wherever possible and the other day the County Council decided that the outlay on roads this year would be half a mill less than the previous year. During the past few years large sums have been expended on the road system of the county and it must be maintained if it is not to deteriorate. It would be poor economy to withhold necessary expenditures to keep the roads in good condition. On the other hand there are road expenditures which can be held over for a time although the desire is to meet the needs which arise to the fullest extent possâ€" ible having regard for prevailing conditions and the need for the practice of economy. Canadian lumber, wood pulp, pulpwood and paper are exported to the United States, the British Isles, Australia, South Africa, New Zeaâ€" land, Japan, China and other countries. Last year thevalue of these exports was over ADVERTISING RATES On application. Advertising copy must reach the office not later than Monday noon to insure insertion. The County Council does well to serutinize all proposed outlays with more than usual care as appropriations made have a direct bearing on the tax rate which citizens desire should be kept as low as possible consistent with the efficient carrying on of the services operated by the county. With the arrival of seeding time the imâ€" portance of sowing only the very best and cleanest seed available is being again emphaâ€" sized. Owing to the high price of good seed in the northern districts and the farmers‘ lack of means in many cases to purchase his requireâ€" ments, it is pointed out,. a lot of inferior seed will of necessity be sown which can only result in the wide dissemination of weed seeds of every description and the spread of noxious seed weeds that may take years to eradicate. The fact is stressed, however, by the Weekly Sun in commenting on the matter, that there is no reason why anything but the very best should be used in the settled parts of the province. Clean seed is of primary importance and only by sowing it can the best results be achieved. $291,000,000 | THE PROBLEM OF UNEMPLOYMENT | Waterloo Chronicle One year, in advance Six months .. s In United States, per year CANADIAN FORESTsS YIELD £5300,000,000 REDUCING EXPENDITURES , concludes the writer of the article.‘ sOwING CLEAN SEED SUBSCRIPTION RATES $2.50 r According to statistics, 6,000,000 of the workers in the United States are unable to get employment and must be supported or starve. ’In contrast with this there is given forth from the United States Treasury the significant statement that there are 504 persons in the Republic whose incomes in 1929 totalled $1,185,135,330. The Department of Agriculture reports the cash value of the wheat crop in 1930 as only $517,407,000 and the cotton crop for the same year as $674,044,000 ; so that the income of these 504 people was very nearly equal to the value of all the wheat and cotton: which the nation‘s workers were able to proâ€" ‘ Official reports just issued by the Canadian Bureau of Statistics shows the total production of fur coats in Canada in 1929 had a value of $17,944,726, of which fur coats for women accounted for $12,255,855 while coats for men were valued at only $250,710, the former repreâ€" senting 65 per cent. of the total outpnt. It is but a short time since we were reading with amazement of how scientists were disâ€" covering the priceless radium from the scrap heaps of ancient mines, says the New Outlook, and now it too may be scrapped. The chemists, according to the Literary Digest, are agog over the new electric tube reâ€" cently displayed by Prof. R. A. Millikan and his associates at Los Angeles. Utilizing 650,000 volts, the new tube emits rays quite comparable to those given off by radium and it is calculated Q%at with such a tube one might accomplish reâ€" sults that would be equivalent to those obtained with $5,000,000,000 worth of radium. And there is no reason to believe that 650,000 volts is the uppermost limit. Parliamentary estimates for the current fiscal year have been submitted and show a curtailment of $37,827,754 in national expenâ€" diture as a result of the program of economy enforced upon his ministers by Premier Benâ€" nett. Out of a total division of 42 spending services, reductions have been made in 33. The notable increases are for pensions and in the votes to aid agriculture. Few were prepared for the announcement that radium is even now well on its way into the discard despite the fact that new discoveries are constantly being made. Under the terms of the truce the Nationalâ€" ists definitely commit themselves to the idea of a federated India, Indian responsibility with reservations or safeguards f¢ ; problems of deâ€" fence, finance and for protection of minorities. Thus victory for peace is being won both by India and Britain. Gandhi will go to the next London Conference with a united India behind hini. and with the knowledge that all the Britâ€" ish parties stand ready to endorse a settlement along the lines above referred to. c The economies which have been effected will be somewhat counteracted in the suppleâ€" mentary estimates where provision will have to be made for the new Old Age Pensions policy under which the Federal Government will asâ€" sume practically the entire cost of operation. In the current year it is expected that expendiâ€" tures under this heading will run to over $20,000,000. The sum could not be included in the main estimates as it is necessary to put through the legislation under which it will be distributed before a vote is made. The same factor holds with regard to govâ€" ernment aid to technical education and to naâ€" tional highways, two items which will probably "Do not accept this truce merely because I made it," Gandhi said. ‘"You are free to reject it and appoint another working committee.

Despite strong opposition from the extremâ€" ist wing, Mahatma Gandhi‘s truce with Lord Irwin, Viceroy of India, was approved on March 30th, by unanimous vote of delegates to the Allâ€"India Congress. Gandhi himself took the stand to support the passage of the resolution and when he had finished the gathering broke into resounding cheers and there was not a disâ€" senting vote when the president put the quesâ€" tion. > Disturbanees in the civil service have been few, apart from the Interior Department where transfer of natural resources to the Prairie Provinces wipes out probably 500 positions. | NEW OUTLAYS TO LARGELY ECLIPSE | | HARD WON PARING | ANOTHER CONFERENCE ON INDIA Truly we live in an age of miracles!

WORLD‘S HOCKEY CHAMPIONS Farmers and corn growere in cfâ€" tles and towne are uged to coâ€"operâ€" ate by having all corn remnanta deâ€" stroyed not later than May 20th. L. Caeear. Provincial Entomologist, Corn Borer Inapector. PARACHUTE JUMPER _ Farmers should bear in mind that ‘lhoro seeme no prospect of it being safe to withdraw the Corn Borer Act lor many yeare to come; in fact we may have to require a compulsory cleanâ€"up for ages just as they have to in parts of Europe, the home of the borer. Hence the wise course for farmers to follow is to adopt the hest method of handling their corn tields each year so that they will have little or no handpicking to do Many farmers have already reached this stage, othere should try to folâ€" low their example. The inspectors will gladly give any helpful suggeaâ€" tions in their power. There have been rumors that the Corn Borer Act would not be enâ€" forced this year. Such rumors are unfounded. The Provincial Entomoâ€" logist in March called a meeting of the corn borer inspectors, discussed with them their duties and gave inâ€" structions that there should be no «lackening up in the enforcement of the Act. He said the borer was just as dangerous as ever and the only eafeguard against gerious loss to the corn lay in a thorough cleanâ€"up every year; each farmer doing his share. It was pointed out that the weather was a very important fac tor in determining whether we could get a reduction in the number of borera any particular year. Some years the weather would favor the insect so much that all a good cleanâ€"up could do would be to preâ€" vent a very large increase. Other years the weather would help us and ther@would be a decrease. Don‘t turn the dairy cows on pasâ€" ture 100 early in the spring is the advice of good authority. .

It conâ€" «titutes more than oneâ€"half of the chick‘s body and in addition it helps to soften and digest the food, plus assisting in the carrying of waste out of the system. For the finst week the chicks should receive lukeâ€"warm water. {t is generally dangerous to put any disinfectant in the drinking waâ€" ter. Some may poison the chicks, while others do not go so well with the feed. Clean lukeâ€"warm water giving in clean drinking fountains is by far the safest. Make it a point to thoroughly clean the drinking vyesâ€" sels once a day, and if convenient, scald them. If not using a wire floor in the brooderhouse, it is best to put the drinking fountains on a platform with a wire cloth top. This will keep the chicks away from the wet litter, brought about by the water they spill. The litter around the drinking fountains offers a wonderâ€" ul chance for infection of coccidiâ€" Osis and kindred diseases. With an abundance of low priced Couarse grains and wheat available there is un apparent tendency on the part of farmers to overfeed their market hogs. This is shown by the Increase in the average weight of hogs now coming on the market. The two hundred pound hog is the hueal market weight. With the price of lard whut it is today, relatively lower than the price of bacon, it is the bacon type which means money to the producer. Farmers should watch hog feeding closely to guard against both light weight and excess fut he must keep away from the outâ€"weight grades if he is going to get the top of the market for his hoge No Slackening In Enforcement of Act.â€"Corn Borer Dangerous to Crops.

Clovers and alfaifa that were not up well last fall, due to weather, are looking well. There will be considerab}e increase in the acreage of alfaifa sown this year due to two factors; one that the seed is very reasonable in price, and the other that alfalia demonstrated last fall that it would withstand dry weather better than any other hay or clover crop. There .. heen «. very great demand for certified Irish Cobhler seed potatoes and indicaâ€" tions are that the acreage of this variety will be increased from 10 to, 20 per cent. Live stock, especially cattle, came through the winter in excellent shape. Many farmers are reporting heavy losses of young pigs. These losses are considered by some to ‘be due to the heavy feeding of grain to brook sows. â€" Coâ€"ordinate Junior Work Having as its main object the coâ€" ordination of all junior farm and club work of the various provinces, thus bringing it into line with a nationâ€" wide agricultural policy, a new organization known as the Caâ€" nadian Council on Boys‘ and Giris‘ Schoo!l Club Work, has been estab lished with headquarters at Ottawa. A permanent secretary has been apâ€" pointed and the new plan will come into operation at once. Boys and girls‘ club work has become a very vital factor in determining the qual ity of live stock and other classes of production in mostl provinces, and while the provincial agricultural auâ€" thorities will continue to supervise their farm clubs as in the past, the new organization should resuilt in greater coâ€"ordination and greater uniformity of policy. The new Cenâ€" tral Council will sponsor the holding ol national championship contests and exhibits at the Royal Winter Fair, Toronto, for swine clubs, caltâ€" feeding and cattleâ€"breeding clubs, potato, poultry and seed grain clubs. Nearly 15,000 Canadian farm boys and girls, representing some 820 clubs, are engaged in some form of agricultural club work. Ontario has 143 clubs with 3.253 members. Ontario producers of barley for the industrial market have received real encouragement in the form of i guaranteed minimum price. But this guarantee applies only to betâ€" ter class barley of a grade equal to the standard laid down in the Grain Act for No. 3 Extra. ‘This quality requirement should create a greater interest by growers in the seed they put in the ground this spring. Acâ€" cording to available information, the supply of real highâ€"class seed barâ€" ley in the province is abundant and the price reasonable. A compilation of statistics aver a meriod of 47 years show that barley has outyielded oats by approximateâ€" ly 160 pounds per acre, while in vears of unfavorable weather, such as 1930, the increase amounted to twice this figure. Barley also helps in planning crop rotations. In one season, it provides an opportunity to clean up the land, to grow. paying crops. and to seed down to the best idvantage with hay for the following year.
