The army wants $405,000,000 and with the navy the total is $800,000,000, and by 1936 may exceed the billion dollar mark. The expenditure of this huge sum will doubtless give work to thousands of men and relieve the unemployment If the army and navy demands in the United States are approved, $800,000,000, or nearly a billion dollars, will be spent for war equipment. An increase in the number of Army aeroplanes is asked for to the extent of 2,320 with an $11,000,000 aeroplane base for Honoâ€" lulu. It is to be the first of a chain stretching from Alaska to Panama on the Pacific, to the Caribbean along the Atlantic coast. Some obâ€" servers take this to mean that the navy is to take second place to the airâ€"fighting forces. ‘ In Ontario in 1933, the year before the sale of beer and wine was made legal, there were 403 deaths on the highways. Last year the number increased to 510, an increase of 26.5 per cent. In addition over 10,000 people were injured in motor accidents. The driving of a car demands accuracy, keen judgment, quick decision and the utmost care, all of which are lessened if the driver indulges in intoxicating liquor. If the number of accidents continues to increase, an aroused public opinion will bring strong pressure to bear on the government, to enact legislation that will put a curb on the reckless motorist, including those who will perâ€" sist in driving a car after partaking of intoxiâ€" cating liquors. The Minister of Highways indicated several ways in which the government intends to make the highways safe for travel. He did not say, however, that the main factor in the increase of fatalities was the increased facilities for the sale of intoxicating liquors. An analysis of the figures shows that highway accidents always inâ€" crease with every loosening up of the regulation of intoxicating liquors. After the introduction in Ontario of the legal sale of intoxicating liquor in 1927, the numberâ€"of accidents at once inâ€" creased. In 1926 there were 296 fatal accidents on the roads; in 1929 there were 551. What is true of Ontario is also true of other places. Since the United States has legalized the sale of liquor, the number of accidents has increased in an unprecedented fashion. In that country last year there were 900,000 accidents in which the Travellers‘ Insurance of Hartford estimates there were 36,000 deaths and 1,000 persons inâ€" jured. | _ MAY VOTE $800,000,000 TO ARMY |{ | AND NAVY | In a recent address given at a gathering of members of the Toronto Motor League, Hon. T. B. McQuesten, provincial Minister of Highâ€" ways, noted the increase in motor accidents in Ontario during the past year. Mr. McQuesten called for an aroused public opinion which will regard highway killing in the same category as kidnapping or a holdâ€"up. f The belief is now widely held at Ottawa that Parliament will now be given a recess from the middle of April until the end of May in order to allow the Premier and some of his Ministers to attend the Silver Jubilee of King George, in London. Before the Premier leaves the election date will doubtless be set and that date in the opinion of those on the inside will be the middle of June. It is known that several of Mr. Bennett‘s Ministers favor September. July and August are holiday months and this date will not likely be given serious consideraâ€" tion. 4 With the parliamentary term of the Conâ€" servative party at Ottawa ending this summer, people are looking forward to an election probâ€" ably in June or, at the latest, in September. Premier Bennett‘s pronouncement to the young Conservatives, whom he addressed at Toronto recently, that: "The election will be amongst you like a thief in the night", has served to create fresh interest in this live question and again election talk is very prevalent. Right now they are completing the annual drive, the objective being $15,000 and is exâ€" pected to be reached this month. How great a load these citizens of Waterloo are removing from the tax roll!

David Croll, Minister of Welfare, to declare that the lists are private and confidential. He states that to publish such lists is nothing short of miserâ€" able blackmail, and declares he will go the limit in taking action against any municipalities reâ€" ‘ We hope Hon. Duncan Marshall is right when he prophesies that the price of cattle will soar to new heights within the next six months, says the Hanover Post. In the farmers‘ case, what they have made on hogs they have lost on cattle; and, with half the people in Canada living in rural sections, the Dominion will not become prosperous until its farmers are prosâ€" perous. ‘ Amusing indeed is that resolution introâ€" duced in the Michigan State Legislature sugâ€" gesting that the United States wipe out Britain‘s war debt in return for 500 miles of Canada. It is a question whether that is a worse insult than for an American tourist to register complete surprise on being told thatâ€"there are 500 miles of Canada. S The juvenile propensities of some motorists are best displayed when roads are ankle deep in slush and water as were streets in Kitchener and Waterloo the past week. Pedestrians had trouble enough navigating the dirty water and melting snow without being drenched by morons on wheels who seemed to revel at the‘ sight of a big splash. A Quebec judge, in recently sentencing a father and mother to long prison terms, severeâ€" ly scored the parents for torturing their sixâ€" yearâ€"old daughter, who died from the effects. The child was beaten repeatedly, chained to a wall at night and forced to sleep on a cold floor without cover and denied food or drink. Rotary International‘s thirtieth birthday will be celebrated in Mexico City this year and promises to be an unique affair. During this period the Rotary Clubs in Canada, United States and elsewhere have sponsored many worthwhile enterprises, chief among them being the helping of crippled children, many of whom have been restored to normal ‘ Waterloo County was honored in the elecâ€" tion of Reeve Peter A. Wagner of Wellesley Township to the board of directors at the anâ€" nual meeting of the Good Roads Convention held at Toronto last week. It is believed to be the first time a member from Waterloo county counâ€" cil has been a member of the Board. Gordon Graydon, a son of a farmer and now practising law in Brampton and Toronto, was honored recently by his election to the presidency of the Junior Conservative Associaâ€" tion in Ontario which has a membership of Motorists note with interest the announceâ€" ment by the Ontario Minister of Highways that the gasoline tax and automobile fees will be used for the maintenance and improvement of highways. Brampton‘s threat to publish the names of those on relief in order to shame some of them into refusing it is simply an admission of the town‘s failure properly to investigate those who apply. ‘ We have often felt that the old U.F.O. could have worked wonders and solved many problems for Canadian farmers had the farmers given it the supâ€" port to which it was entitled. Unfortunately the farmer who agreed to sell his produce through the organization soon bolted when he was offered a quarter cent per pound or per bushel more by a packers‘ agent or broker who was out to break their coâ€"operative effort. We believe that there is a fine opportunity for a farmers‘ organization if the farmers will stck together and have a little more faith in their fellow farmers. But they will never have much success unless they do make up their minds just what they want, and then give wholehearted support to that organization working in their best interests.

SAP SPOUT IN TREE; WHISKEY RUNS OUT There is a heavy demand for hay in Lincoln. There is a keen demand there, too, for good alfaifa hay at $20 per ton baled, with timothy rangâ€" ing from $16 to $18 a ton, while dealâ€" ers are offering $10 to $12 a bushel for alfalfa seed. Extensive plans are being made in Middlesex, Norâ€" folk and other counties for an inâ€" tensive warble fly campaign. Reports from Dufferin County state that feed is the limiting factor so far as the condition of livestock is concerned. There is a large perâ€" centage of livestock in that district, however, ‘being _carried along in dair flesh and the@P will be turned on grass in good condition. Many farâ€" mers there are feeding cattle for market. A recent largelyâ€"attended sale in Grey County brought forth prices of $40 to $45 for grade cows and over $100 for horees; impleâ€" ments also sold well. Home mixing of fertilizers is a live topic in Halâ€" ton and it is expected that a good deal of home mixing will be done this year unless mixed fertilizer prices. show a decided decrease. There is a ‘brisk demand for horses in Huron and good prices are being realized. A team of Clydésdale mares, 4 and 5 years old, were sold last week for $400. Farmers there are also in a more hopeful frame of mind regarding cattle prices. Hay dealers are offering $12.50 to $13.00 for baled hay. In North Simcoe there is sufficlent hay and grain Q meet. local «tock requirements for this spring, although some farmers will need to do some trading to get through the winter.

The value of any implement can only be measured by its usefulness Need Green Feed in Winter The average farm poultry flock of 35 hene requires approximately oneâ€" half acre of greens if the proper amount of green feed during the winâ€" ter months is provided. As soon as molsture is available to genminate rye, oats or wheat, the planting of either one of all three of these grains to furnish greens for the laying flock during the fall and winter months is advisable. Repair of Machinery Careful repairing of tillage maâ€" chinery each winter or early spring with replacement of doubtful or worn parts has ‘been proven to pay large dividends by preventing major costly repairs.
