PAGE NINE | FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1947 'Ontario's Tobacco Road Looks to Bumper Crop ** By P. L. BECKETT Canadian Press Correspondent Simcoe, July 25--(CP) --A little more sun and a sprinkle or two of rain will mean money in the bank and a song in the heart of the men who live in Ontario's "Tobacco Road." The some 2,900 sharp-eyed, keen farmers along Lake Erie who take one of the country's biggest agricultural gambles every year, have the largest stake in sandy oP ot orto Mg. Mond 80 g pv: Ko Record Planting 'A record planting of 102,000 acres | $45,000,000 to the growers. That will be a record take in an in- | that is barely 16 years old Ontario, and employs as many 34,000 workers in harvest time. 1931 there were but 4,700 acres . under cultivation and the crop was worth $7,000,000. Last year about 97,000 acres of leaf tobacco were planted and yielded pounds of green weight for a gross value of $41,000000. In 1930, only 50 per cent of the tobacco used by Canadians was home-grown. To- day, 98 per cent comes from Cana- , dian soil. Various Types . In the area centered by Delhi, Ontario's tobacco capital, the crop is flue-cured-mild, golden leaves, artificially dried in kilns for cigar- . ettes, Further west, in Esséx and i. Kent counties, the crop is burley-- 8 heavier tobacco for pipe smokers ' and for the man who likes a ! "chaw." It is dried naturally in |. the sun, With Norfolk's Delhi as the hub, ,- parts of Elgin, Brant and Middle- | sex counties contribute to the crop i of flue-cured. tobacco. Within re- i cent years, an area including Port | Hope and Bowmanville have added | to the total and this year experi- | mental is being tried in ' the Midland district. From these and with the burley districts of El- ,#in and Kent their share, | comes 98 per cent of the tobacco | smoked in Canada. ' Lots of Respect Professor Archie Leitch of Guelph, head of the Ontario flue-cured to- | bacco marketing board since its in- ception, has a lot of respect for the | 'men who stake their livelihood on : the tobacco industry, '._ He will tell you that no other farmer is more vunerable to the vicissitudes of nature. Sure, the { returns are good if the wind, hail, frost, cut-worms and wire-worms 'mind their own business, but if ! they become capricious, the whole ' year's work may be lost. , 'Phe tobacco farmer has not been 'able to do much about the wea- , ther. He can cope with the cut- i menace that does much dam- { ®ge each year, but the wire-worm is' another problem. So far, there has been no antidote which will effec | tively destroy the little grub, list- ed 'as Public Enemy No. 1 by the growers.

July 25. --A delegation headed by Prime Minis- ter Chifley and Dr. H. V. Evatt, Ex~ ternal Affairs Minister, will sub- mit to an Empire Conference here next month Australia's view on the final peace settlement with Japan. Australia feels that such a settle- ment should stipulate the method of Japan's control, of supervised Japanese government as well as a plan of Japanese payment with in- dustrial equipment and products for destruction and harm to Allied possessions and populations during the war, Preliminaries The forthcoming Empire meet-= ing is described as a week's pre- liminary talk among Common= wealth representatives about the problems of Pacific peace and se- curity in view of an Allied treaty- making conference perhaps late in the year. Australia newspapers supporting Dr. Evatt have already said on a number of occasions that a second- ary role in the peace-making will not be satisfactory. Dr. Evatt has told Parliament that the peace treaty with Japan will be an "international act of the highest importance because it will establish a new basis of interna- tional relationships in the Pacific area for the future." Disturbing Trends "Japan must never again be per- mitted to develop the means for waging aggressive war," Dr. Evatt said. He noted "disturbing poli- tical trends" in Japan and said Australia was not satisfied that some Japanese responsible in the past for agression had been effec- tively excluded from "political and economic influence." An Australian preparatory com- mittee is devoting itself to the question of peace terms and to, possible methods for control and! supervision of Japan after the ec- cupation and . until such time as aggression is beyond Japanese am- bition. Disposal of remnants' of the Jap- ! anese fléet is still another question that Australia would like a Pacific peace conference to decide. Dr. Evatt has announced that Australia supports 'United States control .of islands mandated to Ja- pan after the First: World War but subsequently fortified and used as war bases.
