A decree, issued by the French Government on January 1, 1937. provided for a tariff rebate on imported drum Wheat to semoolina manufacturers on condition that the latter use not less than 25 per cent North African drum in their operations. While the amount of the rebate was not announced until recently, the rebate is now set at 50 francs per 100 kilograms, or 38 cents per bushel, which is deducted from the minimum tariff rate of 83.2 francs per 100 kilograms, or $1.08 per bushel applicable to imports from Canada. During the first seven weeks of 1937, the number of hogs graded olive and by carcass) in Canada amounted to 580,889. an inerease of 129,-669 on the corresponding period of 1936. For the 1937 seven weeks the num.ber of hogs graded by carcass was 108,596, an increase of 93,099 on the corresponding weeks of 1936. Butter Wrappers at Express office. ao a I Hepburn Wants to Forget All Governments., Grit and Tory alike, seem to be under the control of the liquor interests. Why? Now please don't ask embarassing questions. Where do you think campaign funds come from? What's a million or so among frieuds when the sales of brewers alone in one year show a seven million dollar increase. Hugh Savage, speaking in the B. C. Legislature the other week, gave the exact cost of a 25-gallon barren of beer to the brewers. It, cost them exactly $4.15 to manufacture and the government (no bad debts to collect) pays them $16.60 for it, or a profit of 250 per cent. Not too bad you know when banks give us 2 per cent. There 1 go, after a squirrel again. What I started out to tell you was that instead of an increase in booze sales in Ontario of seven million the increase was actually at least fourteen million. The seven million increase to the government was all sold to the beer parlours. They make at least 100 per cent, profit, more truly, according to George Wright. President of the Hotel Keepers' Association, they need at least 125 per cent to make any money. And that is what the people are in the business for. If iit were not for the money that people make out of the vile business there is not a man or woman in Ontario who would touch it with a ten-foot pole. So at the minimum profit of 100 per cent the increased sales in the Province were fourteen millions. In 1936 wl'h the increase the total sales were 82 millions. That is $1,500,000 worth of booze every week in the year. We often hear that the great problem in Canada is relief. It cost the whole of Canada 80 million dollars for relief in 1936. But one Province spent more than that in situff that had it all been poured down the sewer would have made for happiness and contentment of even people who used it, let alone the misery that it caused. If we are going into the booze business why not go into it right and get all he profit. WTiy give the brewers 250 per centi the beer parlour men 100 ner cent, and cnly 20 per cent for the government. Again, let me ask what about th* bribe of Mr. Hepburn to the municipalities in the form of the 5 per cent rake-off? When are we going to g the finger of the corpse? With booze bill of 82 million no wond< the Premier wants to forget the Nort Wellington election.

In the production of seed potatoes, there is much room for improvement, and all too frequently bruised,, damaged, small off-type, or otherwise inferior left-over potatoes are planted, particularly if prices have been alluring. Actual selection of superior strains of potatoes is apparently not receiving the attention that is so fundamental to success and yet the seed potato growers may be producers of really high quality cattle and other live stock, and would not for a moment think of using the same tac tics in their breeding program. Why 'hen, not apply similar care and prin- ?iples to the production of high qual-ty seed potatoes. The Seed Potato Certification Service has been advocating such a sys-for many years with varying suc-It is true, that diseases have ithods for then whole story. An effort should be made by every seed potato grower, through selection, to prod'ie stock, whicl addition to being more or less free from serious diseases, is also apparently disease resistant. Good seed should be true to type, high yielding, and of good • appearance. That is to say, tuber shape, colour of skin and eye characters should all be considered and an effort made to cul! any not conforming to a certain set standard of excellence. In other words, seed selection. The tuber uni" method of planting of which much has been written, is one big step leading toward such an e: 1 and growers would be well advisee to practice every means by which th quality of seed may be improved. Early Tomato Production paid "iOT early, ripe fruit, but the grower must not make the mistake of having the plants cost more than is reasonable. Soils unduly rich in nitrogen tend to promote rank wood growth and a email amount of fruit. Low nitrogen, high phosphoric acid and a medium amount of potash are essential to good results. The Dominion Horticulturalist recommends early sowing coupled witn, the use of early maturing Jpod varieties. The sowing should be made just early enough to have stocky well grown plants in bloom and ready for planting out at the sign of settled TO LONDON TO SEE THE QUEEN" m Bound for London, and the colourful ceremonies attendant upon the celebration of the Coronation of H. M. King George VI, 158 High School girls from Canada and Newfoundland sailed from Montreal Friday, April 30, in the Canadian Pacific liner Duchess of Atholl. Travelling under the aegis of the Overseas Education League the students start their tremendous adventure by viewing the Coronation procession from a stand in Hyde Park. Then will follow in quick succession an Empire Youth Rally at the Albert Hall, May 18, the Empire Service of Youth to be held in Westminster Abbey,"which will still be in Its Coronation trappings, at which the Archbishop of Canterbury and Dean of Westminster will speak, sight-seeing in London, two weeks as guest pupils at famous English boarding schools, and two weeks sea-bathing and hiking interspersed with lectures by noted British authors at Eastbourne. They return to Canada aboard the Empress of Australia from Southampton, June 24, arriving at Quebec July first. Every province of Canada is represented in the party which represents the pick of Canadian students. An equal number of boys sailed two days earlier and will return aboard the Montcalm, from Liverpool, June 23, arriving at Montreal June 30. Educational authorities throughout the Domi- nion co-operated in the selection of the students. Students who were unable to leave their studies for the coronation will have an opportunity of visiting the Old Country during Coronation year. Boys will leave in the Empress of Australia July 2, for a 57 day tour of Scotland, England and Germany; and girls, specializing on Great Britain, sail from Montreal the same day aboard the Duchess of Bedford. Both tours will be under the direction of the Overseas Education League.
