Page Eight THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15th, 1938 Our Farmers are the Goats The price of eighty cents per bushel for Western wheat was set by the Dominion Government, says the Flesherton Advance, as the amount farmers will receive for each bushel of No: 1 Northern taken to the elevators in Western Canada. Lower grades of wheat will bring a lower price. This will no doubt be of great benefit to the farmers in those districts of the West that have good crops this year, but which have suffered the past few seasons. It will allow them to enjoy better living and perhaps pay some of the indebtedness piled up during the same years. At the same time the above decision was made public Prime Minister Mackenzie King gave out the statement that the pegged wheat prices were applicable only to Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, when representations were made to have the set price include the provinces of Eastern Canada. "Protection has been given Western Provinces, and why not, at the same time protect the farmers of Eastern Canada by including, these Provinces in the agreement? Eastern Canada farmers are therefore forced to remain as a field exploitation of unscrupulous dealers and take a much lower price for their wheat than would otherwise be the case, and at the same time pay their share to provide the price of eighty cents for Western wheat. A couple of weeks ago hog prices on the Toronto market reached the highest price paid during the past nine ytars when they realized over twelve cents per pound. Now the price is nine and a half cents a pound. If hogs were worth twelve cents per pound one week they were worth the same the following veek when they fell one and a half cents. How is this quick change justified and many people have an opinion by the packers. It looks suspicious why the drop took place. A few years ago the price spreads commission rendered their report to Parliament, but incidents like the above continue to take place. Protection is thus accorded to all except the Eastern Canada former. (Too late for front page.) Miss Cicely Scroggs returned home from a two weeks' vacation in ~ Mr. and Mrs. George and famil.

Isobel Peters, after a year's absence has returned to school and is doing Middle School work now. Marion Deviney writes very interestingly of her visit to New York, where she is spending a few weeks with relatives. We will not waste any sympathy on her now even if she misses Roseneath Fair this Fall. We acknowledge a call from Bill Troop, who made a hurried visit at the weekend to his home here while his boat was unloading pulpwood at Thorold, preparatory to taking on a cargo of corn at Port Colborne for Montreal. If anybody remarked that the pupils were looking their best last Tuesday morning, the explanation is simple. They were getting their pictures taken that morning at school. Jessie Broomfield paid a hurried visit home at the weekend from the Belleville General Hospital, in her few hours off duty from nursing. Canada Chief Supplier British statistics for 1937 show that bacon imports from Canada, the largest Empire supplier, expanded by 27 per cent to 1,387,000 cwts., and comprised 20 per cent of the total bacon imported into the United Kingdom. The statistics also show that in 1937 Canada displaced the United States as the world chief source of imported hams to the British market, sending 314,000 cwts., compared with 277,700 cwts. in 1936, an increase of Butter Wrappetrs at Express Office.

Drawn to Western Canada by a booklet on the pleasures enjoyed by the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies, the "Travelling Brinleys" spent an entire summer in the pursuit of happiness -- and of notes and illustrations for an addition to their popular series of travel books. In her happy, lucid style, Gordon Brinley, the writer, tells of their visit to Calgary to see the West's largest rodeo and prepare for a long pack trip to Mount Assiniboine. They spent a holiday with the Sky-Line Trail Hikers and the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies, visiting Moraine Lake, Larch Valley, and magnificent Yoho Valley, and thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of living in Indian teepees, fishing for trout in lakes in the clouds, and thrilling to the changing pageantry of their surroundings. Further adventures carried them to such famous lakes as Louise, Emerald, and O'Hara, right over the Great Divide into British Columbia, and on to Vancouver where they discovered another vivid countryside and excellent fishing in the Vancouver Island salmon runs. The two adventure-loving Americans have a large following of readers who will see the Canadian West through their eyes, attracted by the charming drawings by Mr. Brinley, the blithe and readable text by Mrs. Brinley, and the definite practical information they incorporate in their book for those who would follow in their footsteps. The pictures above show Mr. and Mrs. Brinley (photo by Peter Whyte) and some of the Canadian Rockies' scenery they like best. Wicklow Y. P. L.
