Expropriation of existing stations will be made gradually and be paid for out of the commission funds. The Prime Minister‘s bill is based on the results of the Aird commission awd parliamentâ€" ary committee investigations. The commission will have power to regulate and control broadâ€" casting throughout Canada, both its own and privately owned stations. â€" A third consideration, Premier Bennett said, was that "no other scheme than that of public ownership can ensure to the people of this country, without regard to class or place, equal enjoyment of the benefits and pleasures of radio broadcasting. Private ownership and pleasures of radio broadcasting. Private ownerâ€" ship must necessarily discriminate between densely and sparsely populated areas." ‘ The Premier emphasized that the Dominion | °°"C "must be assured of complete Canadian control| Y°""Z of broadcasting from Canadian sources and free | %°C< from foreign interference or influence.

According to a declaration made by Preâ€" mier Bennett in the Dominion Parliament last week, Imperial as wellâ€"as national consideraâ€" tions have impelled the government to nationalâ€" ize radio in Canada. These are suggestions that are worthy of the serious consideration of the municipal authorities. Among those who have of late given enerâ€" getic and efficient service to the municipality and been prominently identified with the relief organization in this town is E. A. Strasser. Since his return to Waterloo he has been most active in welfare work and has shown comâ€" mendable progressiveness. Mr. Strasser is at present advocating transforming the land at the rear of the market building, on which the implement shed stands, into a beauty spot by the planting of trees and shrubbery, the putting in of bowling greens and in other ways utilize the land. The erection of a club house on the green has also been advocated. Constructive suggestions looking to the further improvement of town property, the carrying out of which would also serve to give employment, have recently been made by Watâ€" erloo citizens. Motorists are well aware of the danger incurred by pedestrians in this respect, and it is surprising that there have not been more accidents. The menace to life is a serious one and steps should be taken at the earliest posâ€" sible opportunity to eliminate the danger by the construction of footpaths. It is suggested that the Waterloo town council at once grade and surface with fine cinders or gravel a sidepath to Buck‘s Hill, north of Waterloo. Our correspondent also directs attention to the need of sidepaths for one mile at least on each side of every country school for the use of school children who are obliged to walk on the highways because of lack of footpaths. sidepaths for the protection of pedestrians, especially school children, using the highways, and the proposal merits the early consideration of town and township authorities. Sidepaths along the highways have been advocated from time to time in various parts of the province in view of the increasing numâ€" ber of fatalities resulting from the use of the highways by pedestrians. A communication of a local citizen which appeared in a recent issue of the Chronicle, points to the urgent need of On application.

This year is a particularly opportune time to undertake alterations, additions and the many little jobs that should be done, both because materials lfi lower in price and because the program w afford employment to men who have been out of work. The menace of fires in Northern Ontario has again directed attention to the need of stricter regulations in regard to the setting out of fires for burning slash,. It is urged that the penalties for infringements of the regulations be of a more serious nature so as to bring home to the public a realization of the immense harm that a little careleasness with fire may occasion.

Citizens, we believe, are in increasâ€" ing numbers realizing the desirability of mainâ€" taining their health so that they may continue to carry on efficiently and if disease threatens, arrest it in its initial stages. The saving effectâ€" ed from a monetary standpoint is a consideraâ€" tion not lightly to be regarded aside from the more vital consideration of health involved. ° The Minister of Health â€"instanced the effective results being secured through activiâ€" ties of this department. The death rate of tyâ€" phoid has been reduced to an insignificent figure, and the diphtheria death rate in many centres has been wiped out. Reference was also made to the activity in industrial hygiene, tourist camps, and in diseases such as typhoid, diphtheria and cancer. . been expended in Ontario to cure disease, $48,000,000 to educate the youth, and only $3,000,000 in the prevention of disease.

Pratical farmers have found that sow thistle and éimilar perenniab weeds can be controlled by cutting hay earlior than usual, plowing the land imme be further aided by cutting out the succulent feed entiraly just before shipment and allowing the animals to fill up on dry hay, grase hay being preferaible to clover in this case. The grain ration may be maintained to the last provided it is not of too laxative a nature. Cutting out the ealt, just previous to shipment, will also help, the dry hay being sufft clent to cause the animale to drink plenty of water. Finishing Beef Steers Much of the value in marketing beef cattle is lost when they lack proper finigh. George W. Muir, B. S.A., Dominion Animal Husbandman, offers the following suggestions for fnishing beef steers. R ‘ The purpose of reducing the aucâ€" culent part of the ration towards the last of the finishing period is to harâ€" den up the flesh with the idea of preâ€" venting shrink in tranait. This can dium for the marketing of otherwise unsaleable products in the form of eggs and poultry meat. Banks and loan companies find the farm which has a poultry flock a much better risk than the one which has none. Official records show that the poultry pepulation of Canada has doubled each ten yeare during the period of the past thirty years. Each succeeding period of low prices for farm products finds the poultry flock coming to the farmer‘s rescue. At the present time at can easily be shown that the poultry flock properâ€" ly bred, housed, and look/ed after is, from the standpoint of capital inâ€" vestment and feed cost, one of the best paying lines of farm effort. Each succeeding year appears to make\it more clear that the farm is the Jogical place for the develop ment of the poultry industry with respect to both egg and meat producâ€" tion. The farm flock is a useful me and better machinery, making posâ€" sible the elimination of considerable manual labor. Where the farm is large enough to warrant the purâ€" chase of such machinery, this me thod constitutes an effective means of reducing costs. The substitution of more profitable for less profitable crops is another advantage which may be derived from the cost of proâ€" duction studies. * Another method of reducing the cost of production is the use of larger machinery and more labor eaving equipment. Considerable imâ€" provement has been made in recent years in the introduction of larger Perhaps the most important me thod of reducing the cost of proâ€" ducing crops is to increase the yield. Most of the items incurred in the cost of producing crops are the 1mme. whether the crop is large or emall, so that every effort should be made to produce large yields by the adoption of all better farming pracâ€" tices. _ The ever present problem with the fermer is how to reduce crop costs. ‘This can be done in two obvious same costs; and second, producing the same at a lower cost. Thus it is apparent that the Departâ€", ment‘s policy of promoting the use of fertilizers is bearing fruit. i vanced that a trap crop of corn conâ€" ing of about half a dosen rows of A greatly increased demand for , fertilizers for the 1932 crop season . is reported, much of the business | being done on a cedit sales basis.
