The meeting was divided in three sections, including a ta]ic on the future of Ontario potata orowlng, a test of the solids con- tentOf potatoes grown bath in Durh.am County and the Mari- orad Pa ir af saund pic- on otato. culture and soul E oadin, Potato Speclalist of the Crops Branch in the On- tario Department of Agriculture, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, gave a survey of the Canadian Patato situation. His main con- cern was with the condition of Ontario patata sales. Lack of uni- formlity in grading and packîng han allowed Maritime potatoes to compete favorably on the Ontaria market. Ontario patatoes show the same quality as Maritime produce, but this fact is not being braught before the buying public. Mr. Goodin advised central grad- ing and co-operatîve marketing as the solution to Ontario's prob- lem.

Soil samples wcrc taken from several different patata fields and sent ta the Sals De- partment at O.A.C. ta be tested. The purpose .was ta discover whcther there was any carrela- tion between the soils tested and the dry matter contaied in the patatoes. For those who do nat have the. knowledge ai patatacs that thc growcrg passess, the dry matter is thc solid part of the potata when the water has been removed. The higiier the quantity af solid mat- ter, the higher is thc sales value of the potato. At Friday's meeting, !romn 15 ta 20 farmers turncd up with sampes o! their potatoca for the local test. It was fôund tint in common with tic patataes af tic past two years mast lots wcre comparatively low in dry matter, running from 1611ota 17.5%. In a goad year tic dry matter would run abave- 191/, depending on the nature ai the particular seasan. It wes found that dry semsons do flot necessarily produce patatoca. with a high salids content. Same Quality lu Potatoes A camparisan was tien made between Ontario and Maritime potetaes. Twa graups af patataes were cQaked in a pressure coaker under thc same conditions. The poattes from the Maritimes showed the same dry matter con- tent as thase from Ontario. Twelvc ladies, thc first women ever ta attend the Poteto Grow- ers meeting, witnessed these ex- periments. The final special item on the pragram was the shawing o! the sound pictures on poteta culture and soil conservation. D. C. War- ner a!

Twcnty-two members signcd their names ta the member's list, and it is be- lîevcd that mare will jain. Tam Ward af Pantypaol was elected President, and Ed Summers took the Post o! Secretary-Treesurer. Those whoaettendcd the meet- ing considered it ta be anc ai the most educational and intcresting meetings teld in thc County for a long time. BE A JUMP AHEAD WITH EQUIPMENT Nothing is mare af a white ele- piant than a tractar that will flot go. If the farm tractor wasn't thoroughly ovcrhauled in the faîl, t is rlot toa eerly ta attend ta it now. Spring has a habit of catch- ing cveryone unaware, and a worn part on the trectar cen often meen a fey deys' delay wicn the spring rush starts. And other farm machinery and equipment can well be checkcd too. AU. beari.pgs and otier mov- ing parts siauld be carefully ex- amined, and those shawing ex- cessive wer siould be renewed. All boîts and setscrews useà in adjustments siould be ciecked ta be sure they aperate. Machines should alsa be ciecked for bro- ken cestings. Beceuse a machine was running well lest time it wes used in the fall, that's no gueren- tee it wil aperate perfectly first thing in the spring.

On tic whole, Canadian railwvays have ta pay mare for materials and supplies than do U.S. lines. Whilc tiese casts have increased rapidly, freigit rate increeses since 1939 have averaged only 21.8 per cent in Canada as compared with a 57 per cent increase in the U.S. One o! the major railway contentions in tic negotiations, accardingly, is tiat there is no just-* ification for comparing wages and working con- ditions as between Canada and tic United States. in the country and an obligation to its people and hence a right to speak out. But Mr. Bevan has publicly designated the British press as "the most prostituted in the world." Concerns threatened with nationalization should not and must not complain, so argues Mr. Herbert Morrîson. If they do the law must be adapted to re- strain, them. Government's elab-- orate experimenting, such. as its 11costly African peanut venture, are not fit subjects for magazine articles, and certainly nat for critical comment, so says Lordý Addison. It is reprehensible for members of the Opposition to re- flect, unpleasantly, on govern- ment compensation to stock hold- ers in nationalized gas companies in the view of Mr. Glenvil Hall. A conservatîve party that sug- gests that it, too, might be inter- ested in child welf are, and so steals political thunder follows a shacking course according to Sir Hartley Shawcross. A stock market that reflecta. the public's uni avorable attitude to certain government securities, should de- mand, according to Mr. Dalton 'la curlblng o! the, money lenders."l Envy, rivalry, hate need no temporary indulgence that they be destroyed through suffering; they should be stifled from lack of air and. freedom.-Mary Baker Eddy.
