chepstow weekly argus shows the ex- c01ent state of food supplies in the old country j r williams of qlea williams brought us a copy of his hometown paper dated september 21st thlch contains an article headed too many sheep and cattle px sale it tells or a joint announcetaeni by the ministry of pood and the ministry of agriculture stating that as a result of the heavy entries of fat cattje and sheep for sale to the ministry or food that week the minis try could only buy fourfifths of the numbers entered partners were therefore asked to reduce their marjcetlngs tj at any market more than fourfifths ojthe numbers entered arev presented for sale continues the article the certifying authority will be tllged to refuse to purchase those animate most suitable for keeping for anther improvement or for breeding purposes or in the case of young cows and heifers for milk production continuing in the same vein farmers are advised that there are aaore pigs being offered for sale than can be absorbed and a quota for each collecting centre has been devised in cases where otters- of pigs are refused every effort will be made to accept delivery of the pigs the sallowing week atlhough this may not be possible in all oases this is one place where britain is better prepared than during the last war the food situation is well in hand and announcements like the above must be wonderfully heartening to the british people hogcholera a menace the ontario department of- agriculture is much concerned with an outbreak of hog cholera which has reached epidemic proportions in the southern ontario counties of essex andkent and has spread to lambton vgin norfolk and haldlmand every ontario farmer must cooperate in order to stamp out this menace to the bog industry and last week an advertisement suggesting 13 ways each tarmer can help appeared in the herald the dept of agriculture particularly stiesses not to purchase feeder bogs except from absolutely dependable sources it also cautions farmer against visiting neighbours hog pens or allowing neighbours to visit sbelrs confine all hogs to pens or yards that have been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected and remember that such birds as starlings sparrows and jageorus can bring the disease to your farm from an infected barnyard tcne government suggests that farmers destroy as many of these birds as posslble another important precaution is to keep livestock trucks off the harm- it is suggested that when stock is shipped to load up at the end of the lane as diseasebearing refuse dropped from these trucks might peed is even more important in times of epidemic because hogs led on carefullybalanced rations have the strongest resistance to disease i a twotiming province there seems to be a certain amount of confusion in the public mind wei the question of daylight saving time two or three weekly new3- jsmpers cannot understand why the whole province does not adopt the ww standard and get away from the twotime mixups which are always incurring as we do not profess to be even an amateur physicist we thought nat the logical person to explain the question would be our local hydro aaan jim gray jim explains that the whole thing is a question of peak load peak load means just what it says the period when the most amount of electricity is being consumed each town has a peak load georgetowns usually falling arousd 1130 ajn when factories are running and housewives are cooking the noonday meal similarly the province 1ms its peakload period too with now war industries using enormous quantities of power the hydro electric power commission was faced with the prospect of putting in new equipment to take care of a higher peak load and even then there feas a chance that enough power could not be- supplied at certain times tram past observations of daylight saving time however it was found flat the provincial peak load took a considerable drop during the summer snaths and it was decided to put the province on this splittime ache- dole throughout the war period the easiest way of course was to ask fltaose municipalities which had shown their approval of daylight saving ttne continue the system rather than fore other municipalities which ui opposed to it to adopt the advanced time apparently the system has worked as we have heard no further pro- notmcement from the commission perhaps in the future it will be necessary to ask other municipalities to adopt daylight saving time or e may even see the province with still another time at any rate opponents of mr

earning more money they want to buy more non- miutary products from the united states for the nine months ending ln september canadas imports from the united stales increased from 330 mil lions last year to 5m millions this year and her exports to that country from 233 millions to 315 millions there are other ways than in pay ment for imports by which canada ends morey to the united stales canada annually pays a considerable amount of interest and dividends to american investors who hold canadian securities or who have made direct in- vesunenu in this country with can adian business expanding this am ount may tend to increase if these payments were not made canadian credit would suffer and we might find it difficult to borrow money when we need it perhaps to carry on the war or post war reconstruction fur ther investment of canadian capital ln the united states is of course checked by the restrictions jf the for eign exchange control bcud a smal ler item on the debit side a the am ount which canadians n i pay to the united states for frent chargea and miscellaneous services ol all kinds an amount which will probably in crease with our import trade on the credit side one can put gold and tourists production of gold has been stepped up somewhat virtually the whole of canadas gold production goes to the united states which is the only free market left for gold left ln the world the other credit item is the tourist trade in 1939 american tourists spent 262 million here while canadians spent 95 millions on tra vel in the united states with europe closed to them and more canadian money available for their dollars it was hoped that this year americans would spend at least 300 millions in canada so far the tourist trade has been somewhat disappointing it was recently estimated ln ottawa that this years intake would not exceed 250 millions nevertheless as canadian aourlslexpenduut in the u states have been virtually prohibuedr the next canadian balance should be somewhat above last years a very rough estimate based on the results for the first half of 1940 would give canada debits for the year on her commodity trade of perhaps 300 mil lions on interest and dividends of u5 millions and on miscellaneous services of os millions against this might be put a possible credit of 180 millions on tourist receipts and 310 millions for new gold production these fig ures would leave a deficit of close to 300 mlulons many changes might take place in this situation but even under the most favourable circumstan ces there la certain to be a heavy de ficit ln canadas balance of payments with the united states for 1b40 tbx situation the need to increase on a large scale our purchases from the united states for war purposes means that tor 1m0 canada will be faced wkh a deficit of poatibly 300 millions in her balance of payments with that coun irjjjibt aliat sloprotakein order to meet this situation is a question now being debated throughout the do minion tmang ahead last alpril the bank of canada transferred 0m ml in gold and 37 millions in foreign ex change to the foreign exchange con trol board and at the same time re quired private holders of foreign ex
