i': Editorial 'i"",:' 'rt/ri/i'!' The natural onemies of starlings are the bird- eating hawks. In this country, Cooper's hawk and the sharp-shinned hawk are known to turn to the Harlin: Rocks as a convenient food supply. Theme bird-eating hawks takn the prey which they can catrh most easily. and when starlings arr morn nhundant, than other birds more of those urn vntvn than of othor species, Of 40 f'ooptsr'u haiwks killed in 1931 and 1932, 17 had eaten starlings. vight Finaliuh sparrnwu. four song birds. three Rrttcklps, two domestic pigeons and one game birds. {The crops of some were empty when killmi) On amount of the prtjudiee which exiata against all kinds of hawks and owls, it is unlikely that than natural agencies of control will be allowed to exercise their natural inftuenee on darling numhen. An interesting leaflet entitled, "The Star- ling of Ontario", issued by the director of the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology, states that since first seen in Canada in 1919, the starlings have increased so rapidly that they are an im- portant element of the bird farms of the South- ern parts of the Maritime Provinces and of Quebec, as well as Ontario. The leaflet says it is now impossible to exterminate the starling in North America. Unless every community in the province could be induced to wage a continuous war on starlings. there will be only partial and temporary relief. Mr. J. ll. Dymond, in his leaf- let, concludes as follows: 1n Ontario starlings have become a nuis- ance and a menace to people, both in the urban and rural areas. These birds of late years have increased by the thousands. They create im- sanitary conditions, the accumulation of their excreta defoliates trees, kills ground vegetation and is a menace to the fruit-growing districts. They are serious competitors of our native birds in the struggle for existence. One of the best ways to tight the starlings is to protect the‘ hawks and owls, their worst enemies. In a recent statement the president of the Canadian Bankers' Association estimated the purchasing power as $1,000,000 daily, and all Canadians benefit directly or indirectly. When the mining areas are more fully developed, a still greater contribution will be made to the wealth of the nation. $350.000.000 is the estimated output of our mines for 1936, a ten per cent. increase over the previous year. Canada ranks first in the world in the production of nickel and platinum, third in the yield of copper, zinc, and silver, and fourth in gold and lead. That Canadian mines have made a great contribution towards maintaining the national credit at a high level is shoyvn in records com- piled by the Minister of Mines. Today the Cana- dian industry is enjoying an unprecedented de- gree of prosperity and for 1936 a new record of volume and value is assured. In 1933, 77 cents would buy about as much as a dollar in 1926. Prices have advanced and in 1934 it took 78.7 cents to buy the pre- depression dollar's worth. Last month it reach- ed the 81 cent mark. For sixty-five cents in 1913 a person could buy, on the average, the living essentials such as food, fuel, clothing, rent and sundries which cost a dollar "in 1926 and 81% cents today. Imfoods the 1926 dollar's worth could be bought for 66% cents before the war and 73% cents in 1936. Figures compiled by the government indi. cate food costs are on the upgrade and this should benefit the farmer, who buys little food butsells it in quantities. The recent announcement by the Ontario Hydro Commission of a reduction in hydro rates is welcomed by consumers of electricity in this province. The people, accustomed to seeing municipal costs increasing, naturally are pleased with the new low hydro rates which will mean a saving of many thousands of dollars to consumers in the various municipalities throughout Ontario. With conditions in Canada steadily im- proving, there is bound to be an increased de- mand for hydro power and there is anxiety on the part of a number of reputable engineers and heads of large industrial concerns lest there be a shortage of power within a few years. \m m) AW-&trN.ar-detutotutrst- n.

Tleo new dwellings bring the total The Kitchener and Waterloo Hospital and the St. Mary's Hospital, with many others throughout Ontario, will'face an annual loss, running into many thousands of dollars as a result of the new regulation which limits the per diem subsidy of sixty cents a day to in- digent patients in public wards unable to con- tribute to their care. The Waterloo town coun- cil endorsed a resolution at hg't.r', meeting, passed by the K.-W. Hospital card, protesting against the new ruling to the Minister of Public Health, as it would mean a loss of 82800 to this institution for a twelve months period. The K.-W. Hospital records show that in 1935 a good percentage of the patients were regis- tered under the head of paying public ward patients. The government contributed sixty cents a day for each patient and aside from this each patient is expected to pay $1.75 per day. In many cases, however, the hospital is unable to collect from patients who promise to pay. ' Protests from Kitchener and Waterloo and other municipalities have been so strong that the Minister of Health, according to a report received yesterday, has decided to withdraw the new regulation. If this is correct, it will be pleasing news to all concerned.

Before the war a law was passed abolishing compulsory kissing of the Bible when taking oaths. The witness merely holds the Bible in the right hand and holds it aloft while repeating the formula. Mr. Roebuck recently commanded magistrates to dress in digaitied form on the bench. He might inaugurnte another re- form and sbolish kissing of the Bible.

The cutting of all trees on an area was proper In pioneer days when it was the intention to clear the land for agricultural crops and pasture, but it is economically wrong if it is the intention to keep an area in pro- ductive woodland. t Mining or Cropping the Woodlot By I. c.

A much better method oi selling woodland is to ‘follow a. selective sys- tem. This may be a minimum dia- meter limit or the twee that are to be removed may be marked by blaz- ing 0r dun-hing them with paint. This is much to be preferred to a mini- mum diameter limit, as there are many trees under the diameter limit that should be cut and others above that should he left, as they are heal- thy and are at the stage when they are putting on the maximum and silo more valuable wood growth. Another vital reason why woods should not be clean cut is that the land is liable to be cleared and peo- ple are realizing more - year that too much land is already cleared. The farmer often pastures a clean cut wood in order to secure revenue trom the land. The stock browse the young trees.
