Cantinuing a 1f etime spent in the interests of Canadian agricul- ture, Dr. J. B. Reynolds, former Solina farm boy, who rose ta the presidency of bath the Manitoba and the pntario Agricuiturai Col- leges, went ta Ottawa iast week, weil past 80 years of age, with a delegation which sought a better deai for dairy farmers. Dr. Rey- nolds insists that the miik indus- try in this country is at this mo- ý ment »t a crass-road. He sees an im paMe in the transition fromi go- verfiment contrais back ta nor- *nai productitbn and distribution. lence the delegation ta Ottawa. The delegation, with Dr. Reynolds as spakesman, pressed this view: The Problem The problem is how ta facilitate the abandoning of subsidies in a period of increasing costs without tacking the equivalent cost upon the consumer in the form of a 4 rise in the price of miik. The present subsidy on miik totals 3.4 cents per quart. WiUl cansuiners cheerfully take on this added expense, or wiii the farm- ers and dairymen just lose it? Nei- ther is very likeiy. Dr. Reynolds and his delegation coileagues saw the two gavern- ment off iciais chiefiy concerned in the subsidy matter. They are Prof. Taylor, Chairman o! the Na- tional Food Board, and Peter Na- deau of the Prices Board, involv- ed in impasing contrais and price ceilings. Drop Controls? The government is understood ta feel like dropping the controls on milk and related products. They were imposed because ceil- ing prices were found necessary for the protection of the public, and the producers of milk found they could not aperate at the ceil- Enjoy Yourself Why Bother Baking?

Reynolds at Ottawa Presses Milk Price Question Canadian shipments of news- print in January were 36 per cent greater than the same month last year and 56 per cent more than January 1939. Our big job ight naw is ta dlean up delayed orders and we are losing no timie. No less than 75,000 telephones have been installed since V-E Day. Telephione instruments wi11 soon be ini better suppiy. Central'office apparatus is the real problem. It takes time to make and instal this highly complicatea apparatus.

NEW GÔVERLNORt-GEERAL mng. The government adopted the alternative o! paying a sub- sidy of 1.4 cents per quart ta the producer for fluid miik, sa that the ceiling price could be main- tained. In spite af the price ceilings the cost of living persisted in goîng up and the government had ta find a way ta keep it down. To the consternation of milk praducers a further subsidy of twa cents per quart was decided upon ta be paid ta the distributors of milk, 50 that the lower price of milk ta consumers could be continued. Free Economy Now that the government indi- cates its desire ta return ta what it styles "a free economy" instead of a controlied one, it will be ne- cessary ta finçi a way ta meet this price difference of 3.4 cents per quart. For it is believed most consumers would be shocked ta be asked ta pay it. Women buy nylon stockings, men buy suits, it is pointed out; but only occasionally and every- body isn't doing either all at once. With milk buying it is different- that is an every day matter for all. Therefore, with an intimate re- iationship of this kind, between producer and consumer, there would likeiy be a terrific howl if the price jumped s0 much. Continue Subsidy The delegation of producers wanted two things: (1) an assur- ance -that the subsidies would not be removed suddenly. They ask- ed at least six months' notice. They also suggested that at least a two-cent subsidy should remain permanently as a gesture toward all Canadians, encouraging themn ta buy more milk for their own and their families' good. Labor Scarcity (2) The delegation also voiced the view that agriculture faced an un! avorable labor situation. The problem today is the scarcity of farma labor. No way s0 far has been found ta "shoo" people out of the cities ta their larms; and, in addition, there is little ta show that personnel fromn the armed services are returning ta the farm. Agriculture, it appears, had been assured that the government would "hold the line" as ta prices if the farmers would do the same as ta production. Yet, the farm- ers were facing higher costs. The Financial Post recently had reported that milk subsîdies were ta be discontinued at the samne time as reporting that farmn im- plements were ta cost more. The problemn is by no means settled, Dr. Reynolds pointed out. They ieft it with the gavernment, and await developments. The Federation o! Agriculture and Milk Associations are contin- uing their activities in the cause.

Get Preference Un Autos and Trucks To assist veterans of World War 2, who plan business venturnes re- quiring automobiles and trucks, the Motor Vehicle Control Orders have been revised to take effeet March 26, It will be no longer necessary for veterans requiring these ve- hicles for business purposes to have owned and operated such vehicles prior to enlistment and who sold them at that time. They will now have preference ta re- purchase where employment rests upon ownership of a car or « truck. They can now qualify for a class "B" priority as above set forth. The new order does not affect the priority given incapac- itated veterans needing these ve- hicles for rehabilitation. The new order re cars now per- mits a dealer to sell a new car to a purchaser without priority rat- ing provîded he has first looked after all the priority orders on hand. In other words, any cars lef t over after all priarities have been fllled may be sold to the first non-priority customer. EXPLAINS HOW VIRUS DISEASES ARE SPREAD Diseases of plants caused by viruses are widespread in na- ture, occurring in most species of plants. There are, for example, mosaic and ring spot of dahlia, break of tulip, mosaic of lettuce, beans, celery, and many other plants. The mosaic diseases, says G. H. Berkeley, officer in charge of the Dominion Laboratory of Plant Pathology, St. Catharines, Ont., have one symptom in com- mon, namely, a mottling of the leaves in variaus shades of green and yellow showing in some plants in rings, flecks, streaks, or patches. In other cases, leaves are curled or distorted, such as in the leaf curi of raspberries. In,. virus diseases, also, spraying is of littie value, because the ul- tra-microscopic virus which caus- es the disease is confined within the plant, where sprays cannot touch it. In nature, these disèases are spread from plant to plant by in- sects, especially aphids, leaf hop- pers, and certain mites. The in- fective princîple is present throughout the plant and is car- ried over in cuttings, corms and bulbs. Some of the diseases are transmîtted even through seeds from infected plants. A plant, once infected with a virus neyer recovers, and, because such plants may act as sources of spreading the disease to nearby healthy plants, they should be pulled up and destroyed. Control consists in maintaining a healthy source of seeds, corms, bulbs, or cut- Attorney-Genéral's Department Issues, Rules re Raffles, Etc. As there appears ta be a lack o! understanding on the part a! some law enforcement officiais and municipal authomities con- cerning lotteries, bingos and raf- fies, the !oilowing is set out for guidance by the Attorney Gener- ai's Department at Toronto. Lotteries Lottemies are entireiy pmahibited under section 236 of the Criminal Code of Canada. Games o! chance for prizes, such as bungalows, automobiles and free trips, etc., are contramy ta the criminal iaw o! Canada and no persan can give authority ta conduct a iottery for any purpose. Bingos A persan or organization con- ducting a bingo is liable ta prose- cution for keeping a common gaming house under sections 226 and 229 o! the Criminal Code. The exception is that a bingo may be accasianaily run by a charitable or religiaus organization if the proceeds are ta be used for the benefit of any charitable or re- ligiaus abject. A persan or or- ganization whicýi runs a bingo does sa solely dn his or its re- spansibiiity. A municipal council or a municipal officiai is entirely without authomity ta grant per- mission ta any persan or organ- ization ta conduct a bingo. Raffles Raffles may be heid for prizes of smaii value at any bazaar held for any charitable or religiaus abject, if permission ta hald the same has been obtained from the city or other municipal council, or from the mayor, reeve or other chief officer of the city, town or other municipaiity, wherein such bazaar is held, and the articles rafied for thereat have first been o!fered for sale and none of them are of a value exceeding fi!ty dollars. The law respecting raf- fies is set out in section 236, subsection 6 (b) o! the Criminal Code o! Canada.

That is why the choice of seed is an important factor in farm management. A few years ago, during the depression, some farmers thought to save money by buying cheap leguminous seed without regard to quality or oni- gin. Great was their disappoint- ment at the failure of their crops. The cheapest seed became the most expensive after ail. Its poor germination, lack of uniformity, and chiefly the weeds it contain- ed, together with the loss of the crop, ail heiped to make the cost prohibitive.
