OTTAWAREPORTS That Question on Subsidies On Dairy Products May Be Re- opened Before May 1 Protest over the failure of the Federal Government to continue the sub.vdies on dairy products throughout the summer months has been registered by a delegation of some 30 members of the Dairy- Farmers of Canada. This group, representative of all branciies of the dairy industry, met in Ottawa earlier this month with the Agri- cultural Food Board and also with the Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Minister of .\griculture. and put their case in plain language. The Minister was urged to have the Cabinet re- open the question of subsidies be- fore May 1 when most of the sub- sidies now being paid on dairy- products will be reduced. * « * There is hope that appropriate action will be taken. Dr. G. S. H. Barton, Deputy Minister of .Agri- culture and Chairman of the .\gri- cultural Food Board, said recently, 'Of all the food products needed urgently, dairy products top the list." The reason for this, he said, tj due to the wide range of de- mands for butter, cheese, concen- trated milk, fluid milk and other milk products as a result of w-ar. Canadian civilian consumption of milk and milk products jumped 13% in 1913 over the previous year. In addition huge quantities were provided for our .Armed Forces and for shipnient abroad, while to- LADIES!

In the current year increased demand is anticipated while pros- pects for greater production are none too cheerful. Information from other Allied countries, not- ably the United States, Xew Zeal- and and Australia, reveals a situ- ation similar to that existing in Canada. It begins to look as though there will be a serious shortage of these vital foods in the face of critical ne«d once the starving peoples of Europe are liberated and the Un- ited Nations are faced with the task of feeding them, in addition to meeting present needs. Unless the hard-pressed dairy farmer gets immediate and substantial aid, wliat's going to happen? * * * Oats, the most important cereal crop in Prince Edward Island, is liable to injury chiefly from leaf rust, and to a lesser extent stem rust. Department of Agriculture grain experts are recommending Erban as outstanding among the varieties resistant to leaf rust. While it is pointed out that it is resistant to only two of the many forms of leaf rust, these are the ones causing most of tl^e damage in the Maritimes. Erban has no resistance to stem rust but is high- ly resistant to both loose and cov- ered smut, and over a period of years has ^->nipared favorably with Banner and Victory in yield. The kernels are large so that increas- ing the regular seeding rate by one or two pecks per bushed is advised when this variety is used. * '» * Speaking oi oats, a new- variety of hulless oats named Brighton is .nunounced by the Central Experi- mental Farm. Ottawa. Developed from a cross of Markton with Laur- el, it is resistant to smut like its Markton parent, while in yield it surpasses the Laurel side of the family. In tests it outyielded both Banner and \'ictory on a kernel basis. It is also reported apparently well adapted to soil and climatic conditions in many parts of Can- ada. Seed stocks are still scarce but officials say tliere should be enough at the end of t!ie 104-t season for all who may be interested. * « * Prices for seed potatoes this spring are based by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board on the ceiling price [>er pound for Canada \o. 1 table stock in any zone dur- ing I lie period March 6 to .\pril 2, plus a premium of one cent a pound for Certified Seed. iH cents a pound 'for Foundation '.\' Seed and •' cents a pound for Foundation Seed. . Why Not Turkey Eggs In February Turkey eggs in February 1 That is the story of a district feed mer- chant who specializes in select poul- try foods, says the St. Catharines Standard. One of his farmer customer* presented him with t turkey ei?g the other day. and even the farmer wanted to know: How come? The answer was tiiat the turkey had been getting tlie proper tVod. sc>!iie of that whicli made the Leghorns produce an egg a day. On Canadian farms, for decades past, the turkey has been consider- ed a sonii-wild fowl given to the greatest .secrecy in nest hiding and Living just enougii lor one brood * .\ear. The yotmg turks come out in all the hazards of weather and. If the season is r.iiiiy, the casualty toll is very heavy. Xo special feed- ing of turkeys has ever been felt necessary, on the average farm; they always roam far afield. The turkey shortage last Christ- mas wa.s just one of those things which intelligent breeding and handling will obviate in the years to come. If turkeys lay eggs In winter, under proper condition*, there will soon be a turkev hatchery on a big scale, as complete a do- mestication as that which .ipplies to the chicken family. THE WAR - WEEK â€" Commentary on Current Events Axis Troops Pour Into Hungary And Occupy All Strategic Points Out of the welter of confusing and contradictory reports about Hungary- there emerges this one certainty: Hider has taken over an- otlier country. He has converted another ally into a vassal and is rapidly wiping out any distinction between riiose w-ho hoped to share in -his victory and those he has conqu'cred. Moreover, he appears to have accomplished this new coup witli the same old methods of treachery, surprise and fifth column preparation that proved so success- ful in the cases of Austria, Czecho- slovakia, Denmark and Norway, and to some e.xtent even in Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Yugo- slavia. For while the heads of the Hungarian Government were still conferring with Hitler at his head- quarters, more than IOO.OjO Ger- man and Rumanian troops marched into Hungary with the aid and con- nivance of Hungarian Nazi ele- ments; occupied all its important points and communication centers: arrested hundreds of Liberals and Socialists, and rapidly crushed any opposition. Now Hitler is sea%:h- ing for a compliant puppet govern- ment under whose nominal author- ity he proposes to incorporate Hun- gary into that greater German Le- beiisranni which is rapidly turning from a living space into a region V t death, says the New York Times. Hitler Must Hold Balkans The rea.-ons for Hitler's action seems clear enoug;;. The Russian advance across the Dniester into MODEL HEROINE Exploits of Paulina Syedova. for- mer leader of guerrilla band, who became pilot of military ambulance plane, inspired Russian director Frederick Ermler's film about Soviet women at war, showing un- der title of "No Greater Love". Rumania heralds the end of the battle of Russia and the beginning of the battle for the Balkans. Hit- ler must hold the Balkans because he needs their raw materials, and in particular the oil of Rumania, without whi'h his war machine w-ould be in danger of breaking down. But after the severance oi the Odessa-W'arsav railway by the Russian armies his main comm-ani- cation lines to the Balkans lead through Hungary. Hungar>- was his ally; it joined both the Anti- Comintern pact and the .\xis pact; it granted Germany military- transit rights long ago, and it joined in the war against Russia with its own troops. But. using treachery as a normal devi ; of his own diplo- macy. Hitler trusts nobody. He does not trust the Germans whom he keeps in line by the terror of his poHce; and he trusts his allies even less â€" unless his own troops and Gestapo are in control. The German occupation of Hungary is thus Hitler's notice to the world that he is determined to fight for the Balkans and that the Carpath- ians are Iiis main line of defense. Hungary's Recent Growth Just what the attitude of the Hun- garian Government has been in this situation is still unclear. There are reports that it refused Hitler's sweeping demands and has been put under arrest. That is not im- plausible, for proud Hungary has always been jealous of its sover- eignty. But that does not absolve the Government of responsibility for the plight of the country. Hun- gary joined Hitler partly under the compulsion of its exposed geogra- phic situation, but also because of the spoils promised it. With Ger- man aid. it acquired the Carpatho- Ukraine from Czechoslovakia, Transylvania and Rumania and the Banat from Yugoslavia. The coun- try grew from 35.300 square miles, with a population of 9,100.000 to . 01,700 square miles and a popula- toin of 12,700.000. Now Hitler is exacting pay;nent for his aid at the cost of Hut'.gary's ::'.dependence. Again The Iron Fist There still remains tiie question why Hitler adopted methods which are bound to antagonize the Hun- garian people. There can be no doubt that the Hungarians would resist a Russian attempt at invas- ion. But if they could escape an invasion and get out of the war even at the cost of heavy sacrifices they would probably jump at the chance. There have been numer- ous reports that not only Hungary but also Rumania and Bulgaria v.ere eagerly seeking a way out. * hese days, when tea must yield the utmost in flavour, qiuxlity is of supreme importance* Ask for . . -SAIAM TEA VOICE OF 1 H E PRESS FINE REPORT OF C.N.R. Managei:!e:it and personnel of the Canadian National Railways are to be congratulated oa the re- port on 1943 operations tabled in the House of Coiumons last week. The statistics presented by the president a:id chairman, Mr. R. C. Vaughan, constitute a new high all around. After payment of all op- erating expenses, there is a net revenue of $115,140,000, or 529,434,- 000 more than in 1942. A cash sur- - plus of S35.0J9.OOO remained after meeting taxes, interest due the public and the Government, and providing 519,000.000 reserve for pension contracts. This exceeded the surplus of 1943 by more than SIO.000,000. The unprecedented success was due primarily to the heavy traffic of a war year. It shows neverthe- less the earning power of the sys- tem when the possibility exists. Obviously e.xpendit-jres were close- ly watched. Operating- expenses in- creased by $35,476,000, while oper- ating revenue gained S64.961.000. The operating ratio for the year war 7:i.6+ per cent, cotnpared w-ith 31.99 per cent in the most favor- able peace year. 1923. The way in which the railway systems hav; risen to the extra- ordinary dc^nands must be gratify- ing to the public as well as tiiose directly concerned with the job. A standard has been set which indi- cates that only sufficient traffic is required to make operations suc- cessful at any time. â€" Toronto Globe and Mail. and Russia'; recognition of the I:- a'.ian Government, witli which Hun- garj- always maintained closer re- lations than w itli Germany, may have suggested possibilities for 'TTua- gary as well. Hitler, mindful of Italy's switch and entbarrassed by the Finnish-Russian negotations for a separate peace, apparently deter- mined to crush all such, efforts in the Balkans with an iron. fist. Plan Frozen-Food Units For Farmers Ontario farmers after the war may be able, through "quick-freez- ing" units at low cost, to enjoy ia mid->vinter the berries and veget- ables they produce in summer. Ai soon as the war ends, Ontario Hydro proposes to send out me- chanized units to display to the farmer and his wife latest electrical machinery and "gadgets" available. The plan was disclosed in t'ne Leg- islature last week by Hydro Com- missioner G. H. Challies. Mr. Challies said the "quick freez- ing" unit was not a dream but had been worked on for months in Hydro laboratories to sell at a very low cubic-foot cost. Hydro was not merchandising but would pro- vide cheap power to bring modern equipment within the reach of every farm home. He knew, he said, of one unit al- ready in operation wluch could hold 60 dozen ears of corn, six crates of strawberries, six crates of raspberries as well as poultry and meat. Through their use farmer* could enjoy in winter their summer surplus.
