Mr. Ivan Seim, Mount Forest, took the service on Sunday at Amos and Knox and took for his text “Prove all things, hold fast that which is good” and spoke of the Presbyterian church, its faith and history. As Presbyterians we have a noble heritage, and per- haps few churches have suffered more. In its early history many gave their lives, rather than give up their faith in God and the Bible and even in later years, many have known hardships. So, if as a church today, we do not accomplish all that we should, it is be- cause we have lost the vision and the faith of our fathers.

Ontario Agriucltural College, Guelph In order to deveIOp interest in and a deeper appreciation of this splendid vegetable. a very interesting circular entitled “The Canadian Rutabaga” has been published by the O.A.C. This cir- 'cular gives valuable information about the best varieties, the food value, and» the table use of turnips, and includes sixteen very carefully tested and ap- proved recipes for the preparation of this vegetable The Canadian grown Swede Turnip «Rutabagai. has been finding a large place in the high-grade trade of United States cities. From four to five thou-b sand cars go out each year fromzthe central part of Ontario to ,Américan markets. Food specialists declare it to be one of the finest of vege les, yet many Canadian people still ink of it as the lowly turnip. “At the present time timothy seed in Eastern Canada is bringing farmers around 9 cents a pound, while the price in Western Canada is around 8 cents a pound. This price is, of course, con- trolled largely by the price at which United States producers can lay their product down at Canadian points, and this price includes such items as the cost of the seed, transportation, insur- ance. handling charges and customs duty. Are there good reasons for these importations, or could that production profitably be kept at home?‘ We Geoge H. Clark, Dominion seed com.- missloner, brings to the attention of Canadian farmers that while this country's consumption of timothy seed is fully 9,000,000 pounds a year, Canada only produces 1,500,000 pounds a year, importing mostly from the United States the balance.

The question of the administration of unemployment relief in British Colum- bia was raised by Mr. Reid. Liberal, of New Westminster. Four Liberals. one Independent and one Labor member, all from British Columbia, claimed that the administration of the relief had been wasteful in its metth and that Opportunity had been given for govern- ment supporters to profit by furnishing supplies which were often unnecessary and too costly.

The high- er paid ones can possibly stand it, but what about those who are already re- ceiving less in wages than is paid in relief to the unemployed of at least one Canadian city? And what about the example set to industry? Employers are bound to cut wages, thus still further decreasing the purchasing power of the workers and still further aggravating the depression.

Mr. Bennett serenely stated that. due to tariff, a, button factory is employing 30 more men; Mr. Woodsworth stated that in Winnipeg alone the total number of persons on relief at January 2 totalled 11,177. Favorable balance of trade? Favorable, because Canada can no longer borrow in New York and is hav- ing to pay her debts.
