Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 28th, 1935 P0MJiLslx i There's a big new value in the low price field! It's a PONTIAC SIX . smooth-looking, performing ... the kind of car that will make hundreds of new friends for Pontiac. Few automobiles have consistently given greater measure per dollar than Pontiac, in style and long, economical service. Consequently, few cars have won and maintained public goodwill as successfully as Pontiac. That the 1935 model may be worthy to carry on so favorable a reputation, General Motors has built into this Six every basic Pon- -- also an Improved STRAIGHT EIGHT tiac characteristic, plus an impressive list of improvements. Extra value features include scientific streamlining; solid-steel "Turret-Top" Bodies by Fisher; Triple-Sealed Hydraulic Brakes; Concealed Tire and Luggage Compartment; Fisher No-Draft Ventilation; and Double K-Y Frame. As a competent judge of the points by which a fine automobile is recognized, we invite you to see the new Six, and its companion, the Straight Eight. Better still, we suggest that you drive them.

Infected bulbs show yellowish brown les'cions when the brown jackets are removed. Hard black bodies called sclerotia are frequently found under and on these brown jackets. The result of experiments conducted by the Division of Botany, Dominion Experimental Farms, show that in the control of this disease a careful selection of the bulbs is essential. Diseased bulbs should not be planted. Crop rotation is of great importance, for tulips should not be grown on the same soil for more than three years. Bulbs should be planted eight inches deep in soil that isi deep, loose and friable. The tulips should be carefully inspected from the time they appear above the ground and all plants that show any evidence of disease dug out and destroyed. As soon as- the plants have died down a clean-up should be made of the old foliage to prevent carrying over the disease to the next year. ' QUEEN'S PARK ARENA (By the Watchman) Toronto, March 21.--Compared with past weeks:, the last five days of the Legislature have provided fewer lively episodes than at any time since the House opened, but it has been, more productive in the way of actual accomplishments in regard to legislation. Approximately 100 government and private bills have received either first or second reading at the time of writing and every effort will be made by the government to speed it up in order to clear the decks for the budget. As far as government legislation is concerned, Premier Hephurn ami his colleagues are in somewhat of a quandry. A great deal of importance is attached to the Federal program of social legislation and until Ontario learns definitely just what Premier Bennett has in mind, nothing much can be done provincially. It is well known that the Unemployment Insurance Act as> proposed by the Ottawa Government is not acceptable to the Hepburn Government. As soon as the Dominion plans are announced, Ontario will swing into its own legislative program and there are said to be several measures pending of unusual interest. Attorney-General Roebuck's labor legislation has been given first reading and the Attorney-General will speak to the measure he is sponsoring when it comes up for second reading. Charges made by Opposition members that the government has failed in its election promise to bring down legislation dealing with unemployment and relief will soon be answered by the government in a practical way. Legislation along Conservativ lines will be the Premier's answe to criticism that pledges have been broken. But Ottawa, with its greater scope and authority, must move first, It is no great secret that Premier Hepburn hopes to accomplish a great deal in the event of a Liberal Government taking over the reins of office at Ottawa. When Premier Hepburn takes the stump on behalf of the Liberal party in the coming Dominion election, he will advocate the right of the province to -impose a tax on gold mines, a right which he asserts has been usurped by the Dominion authorities. It is dangeroi to predict future political events, but if the next government of Canada ' a Liberal one, then it is certain that Ontario will receive a large' slice of revenue from the gold prodi dusiry. And the money from this source will go a long way towards rehabilitating the financial status of the province. Not only this, but it wftll ease the burden of unemployment relief which niendous. Conclusion of the Throne debate nterks another step forward ~ress of the session. The House shortly get down to business on and it is expected there i spectacular scenes in Chamber when the Henry-led forces clash with the government. At a number of the Dominion Experimental Stations in Eastern Canada .and at the Dominion Laboratory of Plant Pathology at Frederickton, N.B., extensive experiments have been conducted on the control of brown heart in turnips. Results show that this disease can be prevented by applying borax at the rate of 10 pounds, per acre to the soil before seeding. The borax may be applied with the fertilizer or mixed with fine dry earth or any other suitable material to give it sufficient bulk for easy handling. It should be in a finely powdered form and may be obtained at any durg store. Fertilizer to which borax has' been added should not he used foi potatoesi or beans as* these crops are extremely sensitive to the chemical. ONTARIO EAST GRAND ORANGE LODGE About seven hundred delegates and visitors attended the Ontario Bast Grand Orange Lodge meetings, held in Trenton last week. Sessions commenced on Tuesday evening and continued until Thursday night. Three iliuiHh'exl and seventeen voting delegates and nearly one hundred visitors attended the L.O.L. meetings. There were also one hundred Black Knightsi attending as delegates*, and one hundred and ninety-seveni L.O.B.A. voting delegates, and visitors. The Trenton Loyal Orange Lodge No. 206 degree team carried the honours on Wednesday eveniing at the Masonic Temple, when they won the Shipman Shield. It was the first time the team has competed. The1 Shipman Shield was presented by H. C. Ship-man of Ottawa, Past Grand Ma of Ontario East. The Trenton team recently won the cup in the county competition. Mr. Harry H. Onyon, brother of Mr. W. J. Onyon of Colborne, : member of the Trenton degree t as 1st Lecturer. Expansion of the sale of canned goods on the domestic and export markets offers the most hopeful outlet for an increased production of vegetables in this province. San Juan Caplstr'ano, Calif., March 19.--An army of swallows swooped from the sky in one of nature's strange dramas to-day and won a five-hour battle from the swifts for poses>-slion of the walls of historic San Juan Capistrano Mission. The invaders--never a day late nor a day early--arrived as usual on St. Joseph's Day to fight their annual war for the comfortable nests in the old mission. There were 10 killed, five swallows id five swifts, in the clash of the opposing warriors. Observers! estimated 4,000 swallows were on hand at the finish against a defence force of approximately 1,000. A storm at sea slightly delayed the swallow's arrival and pioneer residents had become anxious. Rev. A. J. Hutchinson, mission pastsor, said their appearance on St. Joseph's Day has been recorded for the last 68 years. In the hitter struggle between the birds to-day, swallow "scouts" apparently spotted the swifts' situation and presumably reported the enemy's lgth to the main "army." The swifts put up a determined resistance and only when the swallows brought up numerous reinforcements did the tide of battle turn in their favor. BENNETT WILL BE BACK Newspapers which for reasons of their own are opposed to the Conservative party, and especially to Mr. Bennett, have been having a grand time during the past three weeks with the subject of the Prime Minist-■er's illness. Especially the big city dailies allied to the Grit cause have been carrying on a crafty campaign of innuendo and inference destroyed for the most part to convince their readers that Mr. Bennett's condition is far more serious than it is, that he has suffered a compete breakdown, that his retirement from public life is imminent, even that his, life is In danger. Woven with these gross: exaggerations to produce a pattern of cunning political partisanship is the suggestion that It is all Mr. Bennett's own fault, that he has taken too much upon himself during the past four years. That he has not shared responsibilities with the members of his Cabinet to the extent that he should. Enough crocodile tears have been shed by Grit correspondents and editors during the past three weeks to restore green lustiness to all the drouth stricken prairie plains. As to the Prime Minister's illness the real facts are simple enough. On February twenty-fourth, Mr. Bennett, •suffering from a cold and a sore throat, called in his physician and went to "bed for a rest. A day or so later influenza developed. The Prime Minister, to comlmon with many thousands of his fellow Canadians, was down with grippe. A thorough medical examination disclosed a slight intermittent heart palpitation. Rest was prescribed as a fundamental necessity for a cure. The Prime Minister Is "not the type which takes easily to inaction. Idleness irks him, sloth he despises and detests; but he is essentially a logical man. Assured by his physicians that rest was imperative to his recovery, he has eon-ented to remain in his apartments, although he has at all times been i: contact with affairs on Parliament Hill through his able and loyal secre- Mr. Bennett will continue to rest until his medical advisers tell him to go back to work again. He may take a short vacation before he again buckles on his harness. The heart condition has entirely disappeared, snd) the Prime Minister's progress toward recovery has been steady for week past. Bennett will! be back; and his enemies will be very sorry when he gets back. Canned peas have the size of the pea stated on the label of the can. No. 1 is a very small pea; No. 2 is larger; NO. 3 is still larger, and so on. The size of peas in no way depends on the quality nor the quality on the size. As a result of the first year's op-Dominion Department of Agriculture for eggs, 540 farms have been approved, upwards of 50,000 cases marketed, and a premium of approximately $90,000 returned to the producers. Grade Al eggs are produced on farms approved by the Dominion Minister of Agriculture. According to the third and latest computation, the Canadian wheat crop for 1934 is now estimated at 275,849,000 bushels. The revised estimate for 19®3 is: 281,892,000 bushels. The 19*34 potato crop is now placed at 48,095,000 owt., compared with 42,745,000 cwt. in 1933. Grade marks on honey containers are required only in respect to honey moving from one province to another or out of Canada. The grades of honey in the order of quality are No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3. Within the grades are different classes designated as white, golden, amber, and dark. Approximately 15,000,000 barrels of wheat flour are manufactured annually in Canada, besides many other kinds of flour, such as potato, corn buckwheat, barley and rye. The consumption of flour in Canada averages one barrel per year per head off population. Canadian flour is exported to all parts of the world, principally to the British Isles. The total number of pedigree cer-tilcates registered by the Canadian National Live Stock Records, approved by the Dominion Minister of Agriculture, for the month of February 1935 was 6,916, as against 6,489 for February 1934. Horses numbered 228, cattle 2,1111, sheep 481, swine 450, dogs 529, foxes 2,926, poultry j 90, and one goat. PREPARING FOR SPRING SEEDING The preparing and packeting of the thousands of different samples of seed grains for seeding at the Central Experimental Farm- this coming spring is now well advanced. Included is a number of unusually promising new hybrid selections which will be watched with interest. Warmer days will soon ; the approach of spring -and suggest removing farm equipment from winter storage. Wagons and field machinery should be inspected to be certain that all are in working order. A general tightening up of loose bolts, straigthening of_beui- supports and hitches and replacement of worn-out parts will ensure smoother operating-equipment and fewer delays in the rush of spring work. Much sunshine and a fair amount of rainfall during the summer of 1934 undoubtedly provided) proper conditions for a bountiful storage of sap in maple trees. With frosty mights and mild days during the sugaring season, an abundant crop is expected this year. Canadian hay as required in Belgium must be No. 1 extra, mixed 75 per cent, timothy and 25 per cent, clover. Hay enters Belgium free. DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK? (by Edson R. Waite) It takes time for any business to build a reputation that is strong enough to ensure a steady growth. The success of every business depends on its gaining its reputation by honest advertising and living up to its advertisements. An advertiser who gets results is the one who advertiess regularly and sufficiently. The reputation of a business con' cern comes from satisfied customers --satisfied customers come as a result of honest goods and honest advertis- ing. To-day the public does not seek a store; the store must seek the public and they must do it by advertising. Business concerns that have enjoys ed a prosperous business year after year have been constant advrtisers. Smelts, caught mostly on the Atlantic coast, are exported in large quantities to the United States where a good market is obtained. Ontario produced about two-fifths of the Canadian commercial strawberry crop in 1934.
