Eâ€" â€"i believe that Greyâ€"Bruce requires representation in Ottawa by a follower of the party which will undoubtedly form the Government of Canada. Aâ€"I believe that the King Government has successfuly administered the affairs of Canada . and should be returred to office.

By ALFRED BiGGS strength enough for If you favor such a Poticyâ€" â€" If you wish the J?;'ny Sovernment PReturned (Experimental Farms News) Statisties _ compiled from â€" several extensive surveys indicate that farm machinery which is well cared for and properly housed may be exâ€" pected to give satisfactory service for approximately twice as long as similar machinery â€" which is abused and exposed to weathering elemenis. Experiments conducted at the Domâ€" inion â€" Experimental â€" Stat‘on, Kapusâ€" kasing, states J. K. Knights show conclusively that the yield of some spring sown _ grains decreases an averaze of more tharn a bushel per day for each day‘s Gelay beyond the earliest possible seeding date. It is also known that a definite decrease in yield and in nutritive value ocâ€" curs when â€" hay or grain is left standing after it has reached the right stage for harvesting. Considerâ€" ing these facts, it behooves a farmer to care for his machinery and have it ready for use when needed. Generous applications of the propâ€" CARE OF FARM MACHINERY * First name on the ballot. er grade of oil or,; grease preserve moving parts and eifect substantial savings in motive power. When left standing outside for any lenigth of time, or when being stored for winâ€" ter, all metal parts which may suffer from rust should be well smeared with oil, usedâ€"crankcase oil being excellent for this purpose. Adequate housing is essential to preserve machinery from weatheringz elements. Left exposed, the wood will steadily decay and the metal parts rust, until eventually some part gives way, often causing a costly delay. A shed 50 feet by 24 feet will _ conveniently house the machinery on an average 100â€"acre farm. At one end of the shed shou!d be a workshop 20 feet by 24 feet where machines may be repaired on wet days or during the winter. The farmer will be amply repaid if he invests a few dollars in tools and some arangement for heating the shop, so that repairing and painting may be done in cold weather. If at all pessible, _ mechanical power should _ be _ available to _ operate a grindston@ and emery wheel, for welt sharpened hand tools and the cutting parts of plows, cultivators, disks, _ mowers and binders, are much more efficient and save much in the power nocessary for their operation . s After use, machines should _ be cleaned before being housed. Note should be made of any repairs needâ€" ed. the necessary parts and materiâ€" als obtained and the machine put in grood working _ order before it it will be needed. _ During the winâ€" ter, each machine should be taken into the shop for a thorough examâ€" ination and reconditioning. Frequent applications of weatherproofing, rust res‘stant paint will greatly prolong the life of the machine and will certainly.add to its appearance. The good workman derives much of life‘s enjoyment from doing his work well and from satisfactorily viewing a job well done. This conâ€" dition can only be when he works with adequate and properly functionâ€" ing equipment. _ Much truth lies in the old adage that a poor workiman grumbles at his tools. Find a sucâ€" cessful farmer and you will find a good caretaker. Owen Sound will be 100 years old in a few months. John Telfer was appointed land agent for this disâ€" trict in 1840 by Lord Sydenham. then Governor General and he ar rived in Owen Sound early in the fall to take up residence here. Telâ€" fer was the first white man to take up permanent abode there and was quickly followed by hundreds of others, as land in the surroundâ€" ing township was taken up. OwEN souND 100 YEARS OLD THE DURHAM REVIEW Ehe Qargum Arview P. RAMAGE. Editor and Proprieter Before another issue, the Dominion electicn of 1940 will have passed inâ€" to history, after one the quietest campaigns on record. No doubt all the candidates are working hard, under unusual difficulties of travelâ€" ling at this season, but few others appear to be much excited about it, or overâ€"interested. It is generally anticipated that Prime Minister Mackenzie King will will be returned to power with a safe majority. ‘We believe the Liberâ€" als, while not holding their present unprecedented _ lead, will â€" have a few more members than all other parties combined. There is little difference of opnicn of the imporâ€" ant issue before the electors "How best to marshal our energies to win the war." The issue has resolved into a controversy as to which party is best able to conduct the warâ€" the Liberals under Mr King, or Naâ€" tional Conservatives under Manion. There is no doubt as to whom the electors should choose . Premier King with an experienced cabinet around him and close cooperâ€" ation with Britain, is much to be preferred to Mr. Mianion‘s Nationâ€" al Government of all partieeâ€"of un known personnelâ€"who are liable to have varied viewpoints. In Greyâ€"Bruce, the contest promâ€" ises to be closer than in 1935, with all candidates picked as winners in their own ranks. Miss Macphail had a majority of 1484 last time; it is generally admitted it will be cut, but will it be wined out? Some think so but personally we think that Miss Macphail has best prosnects, if the roids hold fair, and electicn day is fine. If stormy and rural vote is ent down, it‘s hard to guess how the race will go. The vote in the towns will be polled 90 per cent. no matter what the condition of weather or roads.

By accident, and you can bet it was purely by accident, we stumblâ€" ed upon a case where a local busiâ€" ness place had purchased certain printed statonery from a city firm. Now that in itself is quite all right, as anvone has the right to purchase where they please. Same individual, â€" however, came to the News one day last year, complaining about outside cpposition coming in and stealing their rightful trade. It was sucgzested that the News d» somothinz about it, and try to perâ€" suade Teeswater public to buy at home. As our readers know, we have endeavoured â€" throughout the _ past year to show the public the advanâ€" tage of home purchasing, | through these columns And yet this is what we get in reâ€" turn .

One of the wildest addresses we bave listened to for some time was that of a minister, Rev. Downer of Duntroon at the Tory meeting here Saturday Some of his assertions, which he made no attempt to prove, were: ‘Our local market is flooded with American bacon. The Gov‘t. doesn‘t control bacon price. _ It says "Grind the poor old farmer down; he‘ll vote Liberal anyway." "It costs 2¢ more per bushel to put Can. barley into Halifax than it does to send American barley to Copenhagen, Denmark." "I challenge anyone to name one thing the King Gov‘t. has done to kelp the farmer," and again . "I challenge anvone to show one thin= the King Gov‘t has done for the workingman." "A cabinet minister, Hon Mr. Eu!â€" er,. welcomed the German Nazi Conâ€" gress to Kitchener 2 years ago. Is that the kind of man you want in your government ?"

THE CAMPAIGN CLOSES MAKES CHARGE® TORONTO warnings, the demand for new amotor licenses and permits remains the lowest in the province‘s history and overcrewding is expected around March 31st. If spring weather were here, the rush would be on, but since Winter persists, few are at present in the nction. Like ourâ€" selves, most wait until it is compulâ€" sory to buy ‘em. ‘This â€" soâ€"called â€" "National Gov‘t." hopes to gather all parties to its support, yet all its candidates «re Conservatives . Iev. Downer _ of North Simcoe hopes the title wiil fool the electors, when he says "Let‘s forget our party politics now and vote for National Government." You can still be a Liberal or U. F. 0. and vote for National Government". Of course they can, but few Liberâ€" als or U. F .O‘s. are so casily hoodwinked . It is now an offence punishable with a fine of not less than $25.00 for anyone to sell or give away unâ€" pasteurized milk or cream, according to the Mildmay Gazette. This will mean that a farmer friend who conâ€" templates visiting _ relatives _ or friends in the village will not be able to present a jar of milk or cream to the householder. They will now either have to bring in butterâ€" or buttermilk, but very few farmers make their own butter, so perhaps it will have to be a basket of potatoes or a bag of turnips.
