O Bovine Tuberculosis Farmers are urged to take advant-o ago of the provisions made by, the Dominion Government, to have their cattle tested. for tuberculosis. Each municipality. by a petition signed by two-thirds of the cattle owners there- in, may have a veterinary test their herds for tuberculosis. and all animals fcund. infested will be shipped away. and. the proceeds given to the owner together with a bonus of $40 per head for grade cattle and up to $100 for pure- bred animals. This would effectively eradicate tuberculosis from the restrict-~ ed areas thus formed, with little or no loss to the owners of the stock. It is interesting to note the decrease of “Old. Dobbin” and the increase of the “Iron Horse", particularly on the farms in the prairie provinces of Man- itoba.

So thatis that. The wheat situation is another factor. Has this crisis been forced by an at- tempt cf big business to break the pool, or by the high price of wheat in. the Americas forcing the impoverished European countries to grow their own wheat, or failing that, to eat rye bread? Will the pool be able to get rid of the wheat it holds at reasonable prices? And when we have said all that. the only truthful answer to the much-dis. cussed question. “Will there be an e1- ection?” is, time will tell. The Speech from the Throne told ur: a lot of things we knew before, such as, the reorganization of the Grain Com- mission, the signing of the Optional Clause at the Assembly of the League of Nations, the return of the Natural Re- sources to the Western Provinces, the eligibility of.women for the Senate. the completion of the Hudson Bay Railway. but it did not contain one encouraging paragraph, in which Parliament wa': notified that attention would be direct- ed to legislation making more adequate provision for the need of Veterans of the Great. War and their dependénts. Sir Arthur Currie was; right when he said, “The time has come when regu- lationr; 01' the Pensions Board must be redrafted from. beginning to end, and when the attitude of the Board‘s charg- ed with the administration of pensions must be one of sympathetic justice. and not altogether one of saving. . . . Our aim must be to see to it that no man who went to the service of his coum y must be permitted by that country to sufle1 want because of war disability. Men are now suffering from dis- abilities which pension authorities re- fuse to admit arose from war se.rvices " It is becoming clearly evident that the care of disabled soldiers is the respone sibility of the State. Every session brings changes. We miss the wistful, smiling face of Mr. Robb.
