Au. unuuunw UL UuLLt.'l' GXPOTEEU t0 Japan through Vancouver during 1924 was nearly twice that of 1923, according to figures supplied by the Japanese consulate at that point. The report shows that in 1924 the quantity was 476,454 pounds, as compared with only 299,695 pounds in 1923. Total cheese shipments to the same destination last year amounted to 2,685 pouhds, as against only 40 in 1923. A recent analysis of immigration according to occupation of immi- grants arriving in Canada since 1920 shows a steady increase in the ra- tio of agriculturists and domes- `tics towards all others. In 1921 the figure was 35 per cent. It was 44 per cent for the fiscal year end- ing March 31, 1922, 47 per cent for the fiscal year 1923-24 and 51 per cent for the nine months April to December, 1924. One of the outstanding features of the Grain Commission Board's report for the season 1922-23, was the tribute paid to the excellent service rendered by the Canadian Pacific Railway in handling the western crop. Though the company handled 105,000 cars of grain, it re- ceived only six complaints about` lack of cars from the railway and l commission combined.

Senator Pope gave a very eloquent discourse on -the tariff, and stated that the exodus to the United States from his Province was even p;reatLr than it was in Ontario. The north eastern states hael more French Cun- adinns than did the Province of Quebec. Industries were closed, or were closing: on every ; ,in every province. The Mwrftimes were hit from the Dominion unless some re- lief were immediately forthcoming from the King Government. He de- preciated the immigration policy of the Liberal administration. The first mistake had vben to admit the Doukaibours, Gaulicians, Mennonites, etc., and allow them to settle as a community. They were people who would not be absorbed, would never become good citizens, and the dis- trict in which they settled, once fer- tile and beautiful prairie, had de- teriorated into almost a cesert. No immigration policy would ever suc- ceed unless our own sons were placed in their proper vocations. There must be an awakening of in- dustry throughout the Dominion. This could be brought about by a higher tariff wall. Why farmers` should -shout for free trade or a low- er tariff, he could not understand. i He had always been a farmer him- self, both in the west and in the east, and he never yet had felt a need for a lower tariff. The first consideration should be to preserve the home market for our own pro ducers. Farmers in the west shi' LI.,.:.. ,.-uv.

He was going` to nd ' out on his return to Ottawa just how much were the estimates for Coiling`- wood harbor for this year, and would see that none of this expendi- ture was spirited away for another Tim Heale_v s wharf. He assured his iaudience that What was giood for Collingwood was good for Barrie and Allandale and for the whole riding", and that he would continue to espouse the cause of Collingwood as long" as he was at Ottawa. i D)\`-\`w-. `n.,,, , ;_ n\,Ll;1I||l.'l( :\u.LldlIi'J. \'\ lLl1 lbs` 1211'! %|m1cl1im-r_\'.

The Government was being carried on by means of the support o-f the Prog're.ssives from the West, and was fast losing its hold upon the electors. He quoted gures to show that in all by-elections held in the Dominion since 1921, the Liberal-Conservatives had made substantial and in most cases sweeping `gains. The only ex- ception was West Hastings, but he felt certain that when the next elec- tion came along that constituency will `once more return to the `Con- servative ranks with a substantial majority. He paid particular tri- bute to Mr. Meighen, who, he (le- clared, was the one outstanding" poli- 'tical gure in Canada, a ghter of the rst calibre, and a man who lnever let defeat lessen his ghting `spirit. Under his leadership there I! had been a general falling away of Grit support, and a constant increase F `in the Conservative ranks. ~rr SENATOR POPE AND W. A.

The trouble is that there is no re_L'ular highway built from Sarnia through Goderich, Southampton, Owen ` Sound, Collingwootl and Midland to Orillia, and -tourists experience di"1- culty nding`. their way from one town to another. In addition, pro- vincial .l1ig'l1wa,\'s lead from Windsor, `Sarnia, Goderich, Kincardine, and Owen Sound district, direct to To- ronto, and the tourist usually hits the good road to Toronto before he _ goes very far. Last year the tour- ists who reached Collingzwood were routed to Barrie, where they hit the good provincial .hi_e'h\\'ay from To- ronto to Muskoka, and could either go south to Toronto, or north throuyzh Orillia to Muskoka.

Arthur Meighen, and to his friend, Mr. Boys, and trwsted that the electors of this riding would not cease their efforts to make sure of the right -man for their representative in the next election. To the young people belonged the task of carrying out the plans for a greater Coiling- wood~-so ably and with such wise foresight laid by those who had gone before.

A of affairs exists in the wheat and flour trade. There can never be a satisfactory home market until the ood of products from other couri- tries is stemmed. A high tariff would serve to throw back the bulk of this deluge, and give the Canadian pro- ducer a chance to sell his produce to his own people. A higher tariff would speed up industry, localize population and provide a real `mar- ket for the Canadian farmer. Never before was the necessity for a high tariff as keen as now. The United States recently built up a higher tariff wall against us. T-hey force us to keep our produce, but flood our markets. There has been a marked increase in industrial activity across the lines, and Canadians are rushing the packing similar condition over by thousands to secure work. Canada. must wake up, and impose a tariff wall that will -provide a new impetus to the industrial life of this fair land. That Canada, with all its promise, its natural wealth, its healthful climate, should have a population of only nine million souls, was a disgrace, -and the remedy was certainly not low tariff, nor was it free trade. 11. ___:1 1 -1 l I CALCIUM CYANIDE A chemical recommended for kill- !ing` Ileas is calcium cyanide.

Pasteurization, which in- cludes cooling and holding at a rea- sonably low temperature, preferably below 50 F. are the two things ne- cessary and practicable at reasonable cost. Where milk is held at 60 to 70 R, which is ordinary house tem- perature, the Dealers raw milk will not remain sweet for more than 12 hours, whereas if pasteurized it will likely be quite fit for table use up to 24 or 30 hours holding. it kept at 50 F. the pasteurized milk will remain in good condition for -18 hours or longer.-Prof. H.

The lots of butter were held in cold storage in 14- pound boxes for six months at tem- perature of 12 F. It was scored by the Provincial Butter Grader at the end of 1, 3 and 6 months periods. The lots having no salt averaged higher In avor score when fresh and were practically the same at the end of 1, 3 and 6 months, and a. little higher with one exception than the salted lots throughout. the holding period. In these tests salt apparently had no preservative effect on the but- ter. High saltlng no doubt injures the quality of butter when fresh and is no advantage when it is to kept in cold storage. Most Canadian mar- kets requlre some salt -n butter, but the demand is for less salt than for- merly. At no tlme should butter con- tain over 2.5 per cent. of salt. ________: \.uuuLlL'>5.
