HIghIIghte From Hansard 1 Farmens wll be' interested lin ich fallawing questions and an- .swers taken from Hiansard ai May 12nd. Robent Fair, M. P. asked Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Minister ai Agric- ulture, when, now that the max- imum peg on butter had been re- mov ed ,the pnornised minimumû peg would becarne operative. Mr. Gardiner gave the stock reply: "The matter Is under'considera-' tian and wiil be dealt with at tlic appropriate Urne."1 Farmers and Mi. Fair are wiser just ta that extent. The Bacon Question was taken up by W. Earl Rawe, M.P. who drew attention ta the recentfly an- naunced raise ai $1.00 per cwt., for bacon shipped ta Britain. He asked what steps were belng tak- en ta pass this alang ta flhe pro- ducer and if Canada or Britain would bear the cost. Hon. Mi. Gardiner stated the raise was due ta the U.S.A. mnarket and increas- ed domestic dernand which caus- cd a fafling off in flic Britlab quota. Britain agreed ta pay 12 Shillings per 112 bs. mare which meant $1.00 at seaboard in Can- ada. The agreement is that il conditions cause further advance in price, Canada wiil bear ail thse cast. If thc price lawers, Britain- wii be given the benefit no mat- ter how far It sides. Stace flhc Bacon Board purchases direct fram paékers, Mi. Rowe asked what assurance cauld be given that farmers wauld not gct this increase. Wv~. Gardiner rcplied that flic same steps as have been taken ta the agneementup ta date wiil ob.- tain; that is: "The matter is under consîderation at; ail Urnes by thse Bacon Board; they are cantacting wifh thase who purchase from farmers and sectag that prices bear a praper relationship ta thse price belng paid, etc." Mi. Rowe continucd: "Ilflthc U.S.A. pruce gaes up or down wifl aur hog prices lie governed. ac- cordingly?"> Mi. Gardiner: "I wauld assume sa. That lias been the effect so far. We would then have ta make the chaice whether we wcre go- ing ta purchase supplies on flua mnarket at a price which would compete witEu flecU.S.A. -puce and scnd them ta Britain. If- we did that the Canadian gavernrnent wauld have ta bear the expense."1 The Salvage Campaign was en- quired itt by E. E. Pcrley M. P., who asked if frelght rates wauld be adjusted ta permit gathering scrap in Western Canada, where at present, nathing is being donc. Mr. Gar'diner, as Minister ' National War Services anud head of thec Salvage Campaign, replied.- "Thse matter has been under dis- cusion; I will have ta make en- quirieta aider fa ascertata whether any decisian has been ar- rived at. If wiil beseen that, as usual, everthing la "under cansideration", or "1under, discussion" and farmers will learn ta the fulincassaf time just what tise dual-rnistry de- cides and then pramulgates by order-in-council. Oiily ta the mat- fer ai salvage, fiat highly tim- partant matter se urgently herald- ,d wifith e past twa wccks, was thse admission made fiat, as the responsible Minister, lie would have toa sk isameane cisc what had been donc.

There la plenty af coal available at the present Urne and prices are definitely at their 10w. No one can Pre- dict what the situation wiil be next faIX, but we are certain prices cannot be lower than they are now and the possibility is they might be conslderably higher. You have nothing ta lose and everything ta gain, by ordéring at this time. You'il save money: you'Ul have your coal in your bin and you'il be sale ini an emergency. [t is also a decided advantage ta order "blue coal," be- cause. this trademarked anthracite assures yau af getting what yau asked for-the world's finest anthracite. These days, with so rnany fuel problems, substitution or rnixing may af necessity be more prevalent than before and this means inferior heat and more cost ta you. But with "blue coa]," the Mlue colaur that yau can see at a glance, guarantees thec quality-and guarantees delivery oiflhe coal you ordered. Why not get in touch with us by phone to-day---and we are sure you wiil thank us next flU for the suggestion we are making ta yau now, because we sincerely be- lieve that what we say is true: you'l be better off in many ways by getting "blue coal" and ardering it riglit now.
