PAGE TWO It is really a pity that politics are what they are, and that a lot of soâ€"called politicians can use their influence to change rules and regulations on mafters that will do more harm than good, with possibly the exception that they will bring a‘few more votes for that particular party. ‘ Such a case is the change recently made in the migratory bird uct as it affects Ontario. Previous to this last change, which was only made public a few days ago, all seasons governing the shooting or hunting of migratory birds opened on a Saturday. Newspapers all over the country cortmended the Department of Lands and Forests for a really constructive step, as the change from Saturday to Monday for opening day would take a lot of pressure off new birds that did not know what firearms were, and would save a lot of birds that ordinarily would have been wounded and left to rot in the swamps. . This is where the old political influence came to light; for all {:t:;u:(;i;l";r:?&;;;ur;il‘,‘;;l;fi of a sudden, the Department changed their mind and decided that and palm kernel oil, groundnut Saturday was the day that the season should be opened after all. | (peanut) linseed (flax), soybean, ‘This move on the part of men who have been telling us for the"é:g “g?ofh:e"fl‘gjs“t‘ %;‘;g:ffel'; last couple of years that the duck and goose population had to be prown pilseed crops, and during protected or it will disappear entirely, just doesn‘t make sense. rthe war gained importance as a These men, are for the most part fully qualified to hold down the substitute for the scarce castor particular job they are doing, which is more than can be saidJ(e’;‘lteasfi:gh"ig?ecrmtfio::f ?;‘:i'z‘mi); of most Government Departments.

[ Parostes many ons whicn pregi. If it is political meddling that caused this change on the part of the Department, then it is high time the department was reâ€" moved from the influence of these muddlers. If it was someone in the department itself, then that individual should be fired su far out of the department he would never be able to walk back. Despite the fact that cattle breeders expected to make a killing as soon as the embargo on shipments of Canadian cattle to the United States was lifted, the "killing" has not materialized. Admittedly there has been some slight increase in the price of top grade beef, for this is the only type of cattle that the American buyers have shown any interest in. Much will be heard these next few years about the clause in the agreement for the annexation to Canada of Newfoundland which provides that it shall remain legal to make and sell mar; garine in the new province, but illegal to export it to the rest of Canada. Newfoundlanders, who buy far more margarine than butter, in a country in which the dairy farming industry is not powerful, would certainly never have agreed to enter Confederation without a guarantee that margarine is not to be prohibited in their markets. At the present time there are more unpurchased cattle in the stockyards than there have been for a good many years, and unless the Canadian cattle dealers get wise to themselves in a hurry, the cattle are apt to remain in the stock yards. The United States is quite capable of producing beef cattle, and in large numbers. It is little wonder then that they want only the best, for which they can expect to receive a premium price in their own country. There would be little sense in shipping in a lot of cattle, the price for which would barely pay the transportation cost. â€" The margarine argument in Canada has been protracted and bitter. Consumers demand that the law forbidding the manuâ€" facture and use of this product be repealed. Producers of butter want it left in effectâ€"quite naturally. The Government has said nothingâ€"and that also seems quite natural. The official Opposition has said nothing. The C.C.F. has said nothing. Too many votes might We lost by any party which said anything. Now it is simply incredible that the manufacture and use of margarine is one province can be permitted, while prohibited in the rest of Canada. The prohibition of export from one province to the others is impossible to maintain. There cannot be customs officers dealing with interâ€"provincial trade. The idea is absurd. What happens next? Evidently, nothing but trouble. Marâ€" garine, politically speaking, is a very high explosive. It may be a very wholesome productâ€" but not for wellâ€"intentioned poliâ€" ticians, bent on collecting votes. The present is never our obâ€" ject; the past and the present we use as means; the future only is our end. Thus, we never live, we only hope to live.â€"Pascal. Probably the main trouble as seen from the cattle owner‘s side of the fence is that most of those who took their cattle to market after the lifting of the embargo, took the very poorest of the stock. More than likely they were labouring under the illusion that American cattle buyers would take anything the cattle owner could produce, and at any fantastic price that he wanted to ask. While refusal of the Americans to buy anything on the hoof that the Canadian dealers produced failed by a long way to please the cattle dealers; it has brought some small relief to the hardâ€"pressed housewife. Beef prices in most communities have now dropped a few cents and a further lowering is forecast by those supposedly in the know. While credit for the drop in prices is attributed in some part to resistance to the prices for poor quality cattle by the American buyers, many butchers believe that buyers‘ resistance on the retail market is more important than is the resistance of thuse buyers from the other side of the border.

The law of nature is: Do the thing, and you shall have the power: but they who do not the thing have not the power. â€"Emâ€" _ It is a practice at the Dominion Experimental Station, Fredericâ€" ton, N.B., says R. G. White, to igo over the orchards and brace any trees that need support. Once the principles are underâ€" stood the cost is nominal and the results well worth the trouble. The large screw eyes and No. 9 wire have been found very saâ€" tisfactory at Fredericton. The best type of serew eye should have a shank two and oneâ€"half inches or more in length with a relatively small eye, but good reâ€" sults have been secured with screw eyes will pull out unless oneâ€"half inches in length and threeâ€"quarter inch eyelet. Small screew eyes wil &xll out unless used on small limbs. The threadâ€" «d part of the shank should have a larger diameter than the solid part, in order to give the thread a greater J:-urchase on the wood. Tools needed areâ€"cutting pliers, hammer and a twelve inch spike or its etluivalen!. The screw eyes should be placed as far out on the limbs as is practical, bearâ€" ing in mind that if a limb is less than three inches in diameter, a large screw eye ma{ cause breaka%le. The higher the brace from the crotch, the less the strain is on the brace. Two branches opposite each other may be tied across with a single brace of two wires. Three branches might require a triangâ€" ular system. Four or more branches ma{ either be paired or otherwise braced so as to give the most substantial support to each _ branch conceme(r. By adopting the type of bracing to the circumstances to prevent both outward pressure and side twist, a strong effective system of braces may be erected. Young trees with sharp anglch crotches may be reinforced by the inarching of a strong sucker.! Trees with trunks up to one foot| in diameter or thereabouts are| well supported with screw eyes and No. nine wire. Extra large} trees have heavy limbs and need either oneâ€"half inch eye bolts put through the limbs and wire, or sevenâ€"sixteenth inch iron rods with washers and nuts at each end. All mechanical supports have to be drawn up tight to retain the limbs in their normal position. l WIRE BRACING Fruit trees, particularly apâ€" ples, often develop sharp angled crotches when young that evenâ€" tually weaken and break down to cause material loss to the owner. Trees in this condition may be braced to prolong their life over a long period, thereby avoiding loss of both trees and crop. After the screw eyes are in place, the wire is threaded through those in the 2 branches to be held together, is pulled t‘ght.the ends spliced and the two wires twisted to tighten the brace. Where more than one brace is needed, a screw eye will hold several braces going in Gifferent directions. APPLE TREES Controls Lifted on Exports to U.S.A. Of Beef Cattle, Calves, Beef, Veal Effective since August 16, exâ€" port control of beef cattle and calves, beef and veal, dressed and other edible beef and veal products, canned foods containâ€" ing meats, and meat pastes, has been discontinued. Control was imposed in September, 1942, to mnaintain supplies of beef for Caâ€" radiun consumers and to aid in the enforcement of price conâ€" trols. Officials of the Dominion De-J partment of Agriculture point cut that, while the United States has no present restrictions on the mumber of cattle to be imported al the minimum duty of 1% cents per pound live weight, the total quota under the new trade agreeâ€" ment is 400,000 head annuall&i for cattle weighing over 7 pounds, instead of the old total of 225,000 head. In addition to live cattle, Canadian beef and beef byâ€"products may mlso find a market in the United States unâ€" der the new duty rate of 3 cents per pound established by the Geâ€" neva agreement instead of the old rate of 6 cents per pound.
