THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, MAY 13, 1929 PAGE NINE Grain Production Study Is Before Royal Commission | Regina, Sask. May 13.--When promises to be one of the most ela- borate and painstaking studies of grain production, shipment and merchandising ever undertaken was commenced three months ago by the Saskatchewan Royal Grain Commission. Before the investiga- tion is concluded in the United Kingdom it is expected that mure than a year will have elapsed. Chief Justice James T. Brown of the Saskatchewan Court of King's Bench, is the chairman, and the two other commissioners are Dean W. J. Rutherford of the University of Saskatchewan 'and John A. Stoneman, past president of the United Farmers of Canada, Sas- katchewan Section. All three were reared on farms and are familiar from long experience with the prob- lems of western producers. The commission was appointed on a recommendation of Hon. C. M. Hamilton, minister of agricul- ture for Saskatchewan,'because of what he described as "widespread dissatisfaction throughout the pre- vince among wheat growers with the present method and system of handling, mixing and grading. The commissioners were asked to inquire into and report upon the whole subject and to endeavor to ascertain whether or not advantage would result to growers if the pres- ent system of grading wheat was altered or replaced by some other method which would more accur- ately indicate its value for mill- ing purposes. They were to de- termine the effect which the pres- ent system of mixing and grading had upon condition, quality and price of such grain on domestic and other markets; the spreads of price between wheat of the different grades and whether such spreads indicated correctly the comparative value for milling purposes of the different grades of wheat; 'the moisture content of wheat and the pffect thereof op its storage, mill- Ing and marketing. "rhe interim report, which has already been published, has cover- sd certain phases of the inquiry, A number of important matters, however, including the interesting and intricate problem of mixing re- main to be dealt with in the final report. . To probe mixing within grades, the commission resumed hearings in British Columbia on April 27 following an adjournment of three weeks during which the interim re- port was prepared. After the Pa- cific coast hearings, Alberta will be visited. Then the commission- srs will return to Manitoba, and end thelr western tour at the Head of the Lakes, where a preliminary session was held in November. No definite itinerary has been drawn up for eastern sessions. Ten- tative plang call for visitis to Mon- 'treal, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec, Halifax, New York, Buffalo, Chi- cago, Kansas City, Minneapolis and Duluth. The commissioners will then take passage on a grain ves- sel bound from Vancouver to Liver pool through the Panama Canal. Remarkable interest in the hear- ings of the commission has been displayed by the farming commum- ties. Despite bad weather condi- tions at some points producers have travelled many miles to at- tend. Most of the 538 witnesses ex- amined thug far have heen Sas- katchewan farmers; but one mem- ber of the Board of Grain Com. missioners, Matthew Snow; and millers, railwaymen, agricultural experts, employees of government inspection, grading and sampling departments and members of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange have re- corded their testimony.- Interesting evidence was given by numerous producers concerning the theory of a one hundred per cent marketing erganization. Com- pulsion along Wheat Pool lines nas not been generally advocated even by the most ardent Pool support- ers. Many of the co-operative leaa- ers, however, have urged some measure of government coercion to have grain outside the Pool mark- eted through the consolidated or- ganization, though not necessarily forcing those opposed to the Pool to become members thereof, Just how this could be brought about has not been clearly explained, but Pool ' officials declared something should be done in this direction because enough wheat was being marketed by sources outside their organization to lower the effective- ness of the co-operative project. On the other hand, many grain producers testified that they wouta not like to see the Pool become more of a monopoly than at pres- ent; that a measure of competition was good for the farmers. Considerable time up to date has been given to evidence on the old problem of mixing, and the com- mission will give more attention to this question from now on. Kor the most part, the producers in a general way have opposed all mix- ing, except for the benefit of the producer; or, at least, for the own~ er of the grain. Some farmer wit- nesses advocated the confining of mixing to government agencies; others urged that it should be strictly limited to certain grades. Evidence on behalf of overseas millers expressed hostility to mix- ing except in the mills. . Benefits from mixing in Wheat Pool termin= als, it was disclosed, go to the actu- al producers of the grain. All producers appearing were a unit in rejecting the idea that an agency which has no interest in the grain industry other than mix- ing should perform such service with legal protection. Their testi- mony was to the effect that the pri- vate elevator, or mixing house, had nearly crowded out the public ter- minals at the lakehead and on tne west coast. Witnesses declared that the farmer would rather pay a fee of five cents a bushel instead of the prevailing two cent rate for ele- vator handling and eliminate "mix- ing and kindred evils of concealed profits." In the matter of grades evidence has accumulated in favor of No's 1, 2 and 3 being "'split". Wheat not quite good enough for No. 1 classification and too good for No. 2 should be named, for instauce, "No. 1 B" and so on, it was sug- gested. It was stated that the spread between No's 1 and 2 might be ten or fifteen cents, which was too high a penalty to impose upon a grower just because his grain barely missed a grade. It was claimed by some that thig "split- scarcely walk i Mr. Rear, N.S.

Much evidence has been listed in favor of federal inspectors of coun- try elevators with functions simi- lar to those of bank examiners, ana a recommendation has been given in the commission's interim report on this point. It was argued that elevator operators should be licens- ed by the Board of Grain Commis- sioners and that there should be a staff of inspectors travel- ling over the prairies and inspecting elevators unexpecteay. The belief was expressed that this would prevent under and over grading and "switching" of special binned grain. ; Complaints against the Board of Grain Commissioners made by wit- nesses were based chiefly on the failure of the board to hold meet- ings at different western points to hear the farmers' grievances. Mau, expressed the opinion that th board got only the viewpoint sf the trade. While the commission wag initi- ated by the Saskatchewan gove ment, full authority to conduct their investigation has been given by Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. Quebec authori- ties have signified their intention to grant similar powers when the enquiry commences in that prov- ince. .

It was the first time that a Can- adian Viceroy had ever seen, and in turn, been seen on the rugged coast that is now looming as one of the nation's important industrial and tourist regions; further the arrival of the Norah brought the most luxurious passenger steamer ever to ply in regular service in West Goast waters, now to be the permanent run of the staunch little Clyde-built vessel. The West Coast had decked itself in gala attire for the visit of the great white chief from Ottawa, tremendous excitement prevailing among whites and Indians alike at the various ports of call. Local in- terest was heightened by the fact that Their Excellencies cast for- mality to the four winds, and en- tered into the spirit of the many receptions and celebrations with a zest not exceeded by any tourist on the coast. Incidentally, Lord Willingdon intimated after the ter- pole C.P.S.8, "Princess Norah" on whi the first vi tour of the west coms mination of his voyage that it would not be the last occasion on which he would see that particular part of Vancouver Island. Loyalty of the Indians, evident at all points touched, was partic- ularly demonstrated at Friendly | Cove, historic spot discovered by Captain Cook in 1778, when a lineal descendant of the great Chief Maquinna, who first saw the white man, gathered his tribe, the Nootka Indian band, in the great council hall to greet the vice-regal party. It was here that Lord and Lady Willingdon were recipients of one of the most valuable gifts in the bestowal of the coast Indians, a huge forty-foot totem pole that has stood for years on the sandy shores of Friendly Cove, the envy of collectors from many parts cof the world. Presentation of the totem was touching in its simplicity yet its significance was not lost. Chief Napoleon, head of the Nootka Band, descendant of Maquinna, was | first to extend the Indians' official welcome, elaborate ceremony which | included the famous dance of the Thunder Bird, marking this part of the rites. Later, the Indians led the vice-regal party to the site of a huge totem pole standing near | | is one of the finest examples of Indian art. Right, Their Excellencies Viecount and Lady Willingdon and the t of Vancouver Island was made. the council hall, and Chief Jack, another of the Nootka Band, mounted the pedestal to deliver an impassioned peroration in his na- tive tongue. His Excellency stood attentively until the Indian Chief had finished his speech, taking it, probably, for the usual honeyed words of wel- come. His astonishment and that of many of the chief's hearers was great when "Billy" Lord, well- known industrial leader on the west coast, acting in the role of un- official interpreter, told His Excel- lency that Captain Jack had pre- sented the big forty-foot carving as a gift. Significance of the gift lies in the tremendous value which the Indians themselves place on their historical totems. It would have been a somewhat parallel case, one of the men familiar with west coast customs said, if a white man, on being visited by vice-royalty, had with one magnificent gesture given 'away his home and the greater part of his fortune. Their Excellencies, sensing this, accepted the gift with delight, and announced that plans would be made to have it re®oved from its present historical setting to Rideau Hall as soon as possible, the vastness and importance of the whole problem which confronted them. To indicate to some extent the national importance involved in the producing and marketing of the wheat of the prairie provinces, they submitted figures showing that for the year 1917 the total world production of wheat was 4, 293,225,000 bushels, of which Can~ ada's share was 479,665,000 bush- els. The total exportable surplus of wheat from all countries in the world during the period from Aug. 1, 1927, to July 31, 1928, was 682,812,000 bushels; and of flour 36,983,000 barrels, Canada's shai of this exportable surplus was 288,567,000 bushels of wheat and 9,799,000 barrels of flour, the equivalent of 44,396,000 bushels of wheat, making a total 0f332,963,- 000 bushels of wheat. Thus Can- ada was responsible for two-fifths of the total world exportable sur- plus of wheat and for over one quarter of the exportable flour. Of the total production of wheat in Canada during 1927 the prairie provinces produced 454,559,000 bushels and the province of Sas- katchewan alone produced 252,- 500,000 bushels. SIR JAMES BARRIE MAKES GENEROUS GIFT TO CHILDREN PLAY RIGHTS GIVEN TO exported from the United States in a recent month. MISS J. J. STUART APPOINTED DEAN AT QUEENS UNIVERSITY Former Principal of Glen Mawr Girls' School, Toronto Toronto,. May 13 --Miss J. J. Stuart, principal of Glen Mawr Girls' School, has been appointed temporary Dean of Women at Queen's University, Kingston, where she will take up her residence at Banrigh Hall on August 1. Miss - Stuart studied classics at Newnham College, Cam- bridge, England, for three years, and after several years' teaching in - London became principal of Glen Mawr in 1912, in place of Miss Elizabeth Veals, who had founded the school 25 years previ- ously. The school property was sold' last summer by Mr, A. C. Mc- Master, K.C., to the Central coun- cil of the Girls' Friendly Society. Miss Stuart and Miss McPherson hope to return to Toronto after one year's absence.

Hardly had the offices of the hos- pital opened, when a man called to sec the treasurer, to whom he handed a pound note, "as an expression of gratification at Sir James Barrie's charmingly appropriate gift." He was asked to whom the sub- scription should be put down. "Just say that it is from the 'First Pirate'!" he replied, $10,000 A Year Barrie's handsome gift was origin- ally intended as a bequest, but re- cently the author decided to make, it during his lifetime so that sick chil- dren should benefit at once. Sir James estimates thdt it will pro- duce $10,000 a year for the-hospital - = At the end of a day's work, relieve nervous tension before eating.

James McKay, secretary of the hospital, speaking to a representative, described the gift as "beautiful and charming." "It shows," he said, "the wonder- ful mind of the author of 'Peter Pan,' and it is a fitting action that this present to the greatest of children's hospitals should be made by the greatest lover of children." ds Checkec By modern vaporizing cintment-- just rub on C VISKS SAENZ ISTE SEIN BOYHOOD PROBLEM IN NEAR FUTURE PREDICTS SPEAKER TOO MUCH CRIME AND DELINQUENCY OF YOUTH Need For Proper Training Is Stressed by W. L. Butcher Montreal, May 13.--Prediction of the existence of the boyhood problem in Canada in the very near future and appeal to citizens to offer more protection to guide voung boys were made by W. L. Butcher, member of many boys' organizations at the joint meeting .of the Montreal Kiwa- nis and Lions clubs at the Windsor Hotel Friday. Mr. Butcher who is in Montreal to investigate the boy problem, is sec- retary of the International Boys Council, director of the Boys' Club Federation International, director of the Boys' Welfare work of Children's Aid Society and meinber of the New York Crime Commission. William McLennan presided at the meeting. John Fitzgerald thanked the speaker. Too Much Crime Notwithstanding the fact that the boy problem is less acute in Canada than in the United States, Canada has often inspired the American peo- ple in the solving of various difficult problems concerning boys, the speak- cr told his audience. At the present moment, there is too much crime and delinquency of youth, Proper guid- ance and admonishment have become imperative. Boys arc basic and any- thing that is done for them is funda- mental. All vagabondage begins with youth. Youth is the trustee of poster- ity. "Our boys are our real defensy and they are more important thar armies and navies and international relationship," Mr. Butcher said. Canada will soon have to confront the boy problem as in the United States where 75 per cent of the per- sons incarcerated were young men un- der 25 years of age. Then the speaker gave a few statistics on the crime situation in United Stafes. During the year 1928 more than 250,000 were arrested in the neighboring country. In 1926, 12,176 murders were com-= mitted. Crime cost United States $16,000,000,000 in 1928.

"These qualities enable a man to recognize Opportunity when he sees her, and to grasp her firmly when he pursues her. These quali- tics are elements of character; and character is the magnet that attracts Qonortunity, POLICE ARRANGE TRALSPORTATION Thomas, 13.-- Stating he wanted to see his mother who was seriously ill in Buffalo, Wil- liam H, Miller, Detroit, was releas- ed on suspended sentence by Mag- istrate Maxwell here Saturday He was charged with trespassing on the Michigan Central Railway.

A cottage at Minett's Point belonging to 2 man named Brooks was struck by lightning and burn- ed. A garage on Brock street was picked up and carried to the nex: yard without damaging the auo it sheltered, beyond a few scratches. Seven chimneys were blown down. The terrific wind, carrying sheets of water, played many pranks, and was of such velocity as to move standing cars and to lash gravel from roadways against windows. During the storm Ed Smith, merchant of Angus, was just leav- ing 'Barrie, and decided to turn back. In doing so his car struck a telegraph pole. Smith suffered a severe gash in the foreread, an injured right eye, of which he may lose the sight, and is suffering from concussion. The storm will retard still fur- ther work on the land, already weeks late. Peterboro' Suffers Peterboro, May 12.--Thig city was visited last night by one of the worst thunderstorms in years, turning the streets into small rivers and flooding all the low land. On the main streets the water. rose so high that it ran into thg stores. Farmers of the district are several weeks behind in seeding on account of so much wet weather, and it is feared the acreage 'sown in grain this yeor will be only 75 per cent. of last year, BOY AUTOIST DIES CAR STRIKES TREE Charge May Be Laid Against Injured Driver Niagara Falls, Ont., May 12.-- One boy is dead and a man is in a serious condition as a result of a motor accident here early this morning. The dead lad is Howard Moore 15 years old yesterday, and the injured man is Alfred Dooley, 27, both of this city. It is thought that a charge of man- slaughter as well as theft may be laid against Dooley. Dooley has been employed for a week as dishwater at the Queen's cafe owned by Frank Esbury, and early this morning he is alleged to have taken the Esbury car without permission, The two were on the way to Thorold when the accident occurred at six o'clock. The car struck a trq2 on the Thorold stone road and skidded 90 feet, throwing Moore through the windshield, a distance of 20 feet. Death was instantaneous, the skull being terribly crushed. The body of Moore was removed to the Morse undertaking rooms where an inquest was opened by Dr. McGarry and adjourned until Monday, May 20, when it is ex- pected that Dooley will be able to attend and give evidence.
