"I would like to point out that jud?ing the plantations is very difâ€" ficult, as there are so many factors that are not under the control of the contestants, namely, soil, which varies from one plantation to anâ€" other, and weather, which is not constant throughout the province. However, the winning schools in Zones 2 and 4 did some extra wfi such as weeding after planting, the Zone 4 school, though under a disadvantage of small number of pupils ang working with very young pupils, some aged only 9 and 10 years, still planted and cared for their half acre, which is ideally situated acrq the road from the school.

Prices admittedly have remzz‘ped for the most part on a fairly level keel. The only trouble is, that few commodities are available, even though the manufacturers are working at top speed producing them, and prices are being held at a higher level than necessary. There is no doubt that a great many of the scarce articles of today are being deliberately withheld from the public in hopes that price control will soon be removed. If it is so, then it is only natural to expect a mild buying boom, regardless of prices. However, while manuâ€" facurers hope for a prolonged purchasing spree, there are few if any indications that it will take place. There are some people that always rush in and buy needed articles regardless of price, but they are so far in the minority, that to include their purchasing power in the general scheme of things is foolish. Dr. L. B. Pett, chief of the nutritional division of the Department of National Health and Welfare, told a Montreal audience recently something of the extent of vitamin and mineral deficiencies in the people of Canada. Dr. Pett claimed that nutritional deficiencies will most likely show up in a group comprising about 30 per cent. of the population, and went on to say that 30 per cent. was a conservative estimate of the magnitude of the problem. He also admitted that nationâ€"wide surveys had not been taken â€"that the above estimates were based on sample surveys that had been taken in a few provinces over a long period of time. This percentage of people likely to be deficientâ€" or on the borderâ€" line of deficioncy â€" is rather alarming. When one person out of three is likely to be affected, this matter of vitamin deficiency reaches the proportions of a national problem. It would seem to be high time to get on with the business of making full national surveys such as is done in the United States, so that something can be done about it. It would seem now to be an accepted fact that Price Control must go, and the sooner it goes the better for all concerned. The United States have already found this to be true, and prices for most comâ€" modities are well within the reach of the average househoider. Those that remain high are being boycotted by the citizens themselves, which will in a short time force those who are holding up, to either prices or go out of business. + The Canadian Government evidently believe that they are also removing price control, or would have the people believe they are, when they allow tea‘ and coffee to be removed from price control. Actually all they have done is remove the subsidy they have been paying, and which leaves the public a different and more direct way of paying out the same amount of money. Here are some of the facts: As many as 11 per cent. of children examined have shown definite evidence of rickets. Anaemia has been found in one out of twelve in some areas. Riboflavin deficiencies have been noted in from 2 to 18 per cent. of groups examined. â€" As soon .as azjicles'start to come into the stores in any quantities, the desire to grab will soon wear off, and will be replaced with an attitude of "wait and see". The Canadian people, where they have had a voice in any matter, have seldom plunged into it without knowing where they were going. It is very unlikely that they would start now, when they have waited for so long. t Doctor Claims Canadians Suffer From Vitamin Deficiencies ° ‘*_THE WATERLOO CHRONKLE Price Control Is Holding Prices Up Ew _r uo mauiiclio whs s e d of the ‘Sntarie queber Newepaper Association THE BEAN PRINTING & PUBLISHING CO.

Results of a recent poll of public opinion on the subject showed that 1 large perâ€" centage of those polled blame the government and the piices board, some blame labor, and so forth. The percentage results were as folâ€" lows: Government and Prices Board 22% Labor union tactics, high In determining the effectiveness of 2, 4â€"D on an established lawn it was found at the Experimental Station at Harrow that one applicaâ€" tion made during the first week in April when the dandelions .were growing rapidly was sufficient to kill all broadleaved weeds includâ€" ing plantain within a period of three weeks. In order to prevent the reseeding of these weeds the lawn should be fertilized annually in very early spring to encourage the growth of grass. A newly seeded lawn presents a slightly different problem and the use of 2, 4â€"D, is not advised until the grass has become firmly estabâ€" lished. An application of 24â€"D was made durmtP the last week in May to a lawn seeded in the previous April and a very remarkable conâ€" trol of Pigweed and Lambs Quarâ€" ters was obtained without causing any noticeable damage to the new grass and clover. Much tiresome weeding was avoided and a fine clean stand of grass was eventually obtained. wWHO IS TO BLAME Horatio Ray Milner, K.C., of Edmonton, President of Canadian Western Natural Gas, Light, Heat and Power Co., Ltd., who has been -mted a Director of the Royal FOR HIGH PRICES? 14% 9% 19% 11% 10% 89 0 95
