Donnelly, M.P. for Willow Branch, Sask. told the House of Comâ€"| mons in a recent speech how it is‘ done : f "And so the faimer today is raisâ€". ing more wheat by mass production. Twenty five years ago when I went into Western Canada the farmer was driving a threeâ€"horse, oneâ€"furâ€" row plow: today he is driving an eight, ten or twelve horse three or fowfurrow plow: if he is not using herses ke has a tractor pulling a four or five furrow plow. The same applied to other agricultural impleâ€" ments. Twentyâ€"five years ago the farmer was driving a thiryâ€"run seedâ€" er drill, using for the purpose eithâ€" er horses or a tractor. Twentyâ€"five years ago the farmeit was running a sixfocot binder, stookers following behind and stooking the grain. Two or three weeks later he would enâ€" wage a threshing outft with 10, 15 or 20 men in the gang and they would do his threshing and probabâ€" ly eat up all his food. Toâ€"day we find the farmer in Western Canada is driving a sixteen or twenty foot combine with the result that he and his hired man are cutting, thresh ing and marketing the grain with half the help, yes, with one eighth the help he employed 25 years ago. To sum up in regard to mass proâ€" duction, the farmer toâ€"day is handâ€" ling 160 acres. This means that we have fewer farmers and greator production . Farming today is highly organized and it is no surprise to see its leaâ€" ders adopting methods similar to those which have been found successâ€" ful in manufactwing. The mechaniâ€" zation of agriculture is proceeding almost as the mechanism of industry The legislation making front seat crowding a punishable offence under reckless driving laws, clears up a question that has been under discusâ€" sion for some time. The question will not be as to whether there were three or four in the front seat but as to whether the front seat was crowdâ€" ed sc as to impede the action of the driver. Rarely among civilized nations is a one thousand anniversary. But Iceâ€" land this summer is doing it and it is no bald wate of some noted person or thing, but it is in celebraticn of the founding of their Althing or Parliaâ€" ment in the far gone year of 931 and continuous ever since. President Hoover is sending Freder‘k H. Fijor dal as a goodâ€"will delegate. He is a native of Iceland and will make a worthy representative. He was banâ€" quetted last week in Chicago and conâ€" gratulated by many distinguished men. } Bicycles must carry white or ambâ€" er lights on the front of the vehicle as well as a red lamp on the rear. The amendments become effective atonce, motor league officials state. An additional clause in the reckless driving provisions to the effect that baggage or persons so placed in the front seat of any motor car so as to impede the drivers control, will leave respomsible persons liable to a charge of negligence. All motor car owners must in the future be equipped with wind shield cleaners and rear view mirrors. Harriston man is sentenced to the reformatory for selling a stolen cow twice.

THE DURHAM REVIEW A MONSTER will be held in e e en eSR ns in cce sds i Lc V i Everyone is asking everyone else what they think of the Budget. One hears all sorts of answers, such as : LE "It is an attempt to go two ways at s of once‘ : ‘A mighty clever Budget‘ : "An attempt to take the ground from Hoj. under the Tories feet": "An Election Budget‘ and a "shrewd interpretation Dur. Oof the people‘s thought." We can at least agree that it is a momentous ham Manitoba, Sask. and Alberta will be the Customs tariff. There will be conâ€" â€" ®â€" siderable in the way of repercussions ‘and what these will be it is at the 75¢ moment impossible to say. That the ) 400 Liberals have definitely accepted the Tig. Fiscal Policy, hitherto advocated most ?,. 4 loudly by the Conservatives seems definite. s =â€"== The rest of the week was particuâ€" It is good to be in Ottawa when the Budget comes down. And better still to be in Parliament. The expecâ€" tation of momentous words falling from the lips of the Finance Minister may fill the galleries, but a member is always sure of his place on the Floor. May Day was chosen as the time for Mr Dunning‘s first Budget, and when he rose at 3.35 he was the central figure in a crowded House. Not since 1925 has the Budget been: awaited with such tenseness of °Xxâ€" pectation. Mr Dunning‘s extreme palâ€" tor showed that he felt the strain.! but his veice was clear and controlâ€" led, reaching easily the far corners of the Chamber. Parliament is always extraox‘dinar-i ily quick and fervent in the expres ; sion of its feelings with its "Hear!E Hear!" sharp and militant, and its| cheers of appreval or derision, but on | a red letter day it is especially so. | When Mr Dunning announced a sur-l plus of revenue over expenditure, he was carried high on the high wnvesf of his party‘s applause. As he prcv-; M .2 MB 4004 i Mb d 2i 4 Secminacabedi TTR TE AECCT ceeded and it became evident that! concessions were to be made to the | protectionist‘s principle on agi iculâ€" | tural products, the ironic cheers . of the Opposition prevented the Finance ; Minister from proceeding. From a ; dramatic point of view the best hit was when Mr Dunning quite evidentâ€", ly lured the Opposition into loud jeers by announcing free trade on fresh , fruits and vegetables frem the Briâ€" tish Empire. When they had finished reviling him he said: "In taking this action we have in mind the growing ability of Bermuda and the West Indâ€" ies to supply the Canadian market, during the Canadian off season, a possibility which is rendeved more feasible than before, now that Canaâ€" da has her own direct steamships ecnnected with these Islands anplcy~| ing vessels especially built for emc-! ient transportation of perishable com-‘ moedities." And then the wild storm of the Liberal‘s supporting am:lausei broke. » ‘ Mi‘s Macphail‘s Week!y Parlfamentary Letter Just what the Budget means is yot too socn to say. Everybody can find scn:ething in it they like, and some cther thing they dislike. It does seem to attempt to be "Everybody‘s body." It claims to extend greatly the Briâ€" tish preference; it gives a considerâ€" able increase in protection to the iron and steel industries: it reduces the tariff on tea 7¢ a pound under the British preference : it protects beans, butter, fresh fruit and . vegeâ€" tables : it announces the abrogation of the New Zealand Treaty in Octcb er of this year and introduces for the first time countervailing duties and by the Budget the countervailing dutâ€" ies are made effective on : potatoes, soups, live stock, fresh meats, curâ€" ed and pickled meats, butter, eggs, (in the shell), frozen eggs, wheat, wheat flour, oats, oatmeal, rye, cut; flowers and cast iron pipe. By this it would appear whatever the Ameuican| tariff against us on these commodi-i ties is, that same tariff do we now | impose against them. Mr I)unnim.z| said "Canada will not engage in a| tariff war with any country. Tho‘ world shows at the present time too many examples of disaster (ollowing‘ such a course. As a great exporting nation, our course must be the con-} trary one of facilitating trade with those who facilitate trade with us.l Those who raise prohibitive barriers | against our products entering . their market must expect that we will exâ€"] tend favor to our own good, custoâ€" | mers rather than to them. I speak in| no spirit of retaliation. I would much | rather extend lower tariff favors to! those who extend them to us than to | impose prohibitive tariffs in â€" return| for like treatment." _ Mrâ€" Dunning: claimed that by the Budget the rates| under the General Tariff would . be inâ€"| creased on 54 items and decreased on 46. Under the Intermediate Tarâ€"| iff, the rates would be increased on! 33 items and decreased on 98, and | under the British Preferential Tarifl'i the rates would be increased on 11 items and decreased on 270. | _ The Court of Revision for Lambton East paving will be held Friday, May 16, at 7.30 p. m. use of south driveway, where town has grader stored.
