the tribune stouffville ont thursday february 28 1916 established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario subscription rates per year in advance in canada s200 in usa 250 a v noian son publishers notes and comments our silly attitude an executive of the motion picture industry comes forward with the suggestion that showing of russian films should be discontinued for a time at least an idea that only shows the smallness of some canadians who are likely interested in selling american films the movie official told british united press that the industry would probably be well advised to withdraw the russian films now showing because of the atomic dis closures which causes us to wonder if their films could be any worse than some of the silly stuff produced on this con tinent there are a lot of people who stand ready to condemn russia over the atomic bomb disclosures who never stop to consider that there is no law to stop the russians or any other foreign country learning all they could about the matter there was a law and a sworn obligation as well administered to canadians and all in the know not to disclose the secrets these are the people open to criticism and if they are canadians it is silly for other canadians to adopt the attitude of condemning foreigners and over looking the fact that our own people were the great offen ders in this matter the danger period the grippe or whatever one might call the illness that has been prevalent this winter certainly has a lasting grip it is not easily shaken off a person may consider himself recovered only to suffer a relapse and one who had it earlier in the season is not immune from a second attack- the period from now until the advent of spring s one in which nearly everyone will be susceptible to this some what puzzling malady bodily resistance is none too high after so many weeks of severe winter weather this is the time to be on guard burning christmas trees the production and merchandising of christmas trees is a legitimate business which deserves recognition just as does trade in any line of consumer goods fundamentally it is sound- but christmas trees once cut are a perishable commodity after december 25th they have no value what ever merchants and distributors have failed to recognize this truth they become so reckless in their dealings that immense numbers of unsold christmas trees are burned in and around large cities this waste is really criminal it is unregulated irrational competition that dealers themselves must correct or the government will be obliged to take action christmas trees should be made available to all who want them at a reasonable price but we must not go on burning up in huge bonfires the trees that canada needs so much is the timely warning given by the farmers advocate not a difficult problem butter output is jiot enough to meet demands with the return of thousands 61 service men and their wives from overseas and with the normal smaller output during winter months in face of this situation there is a sugges tion that oleomargarine be admitted to canada a product now not imported during the war they argue when imports of oleo raw materials from the pacific were cut off there would have been little gain in resuming manufacture but the situation has changed in the last six months ample raw materials should soon be available again there seems no reason at all why canadian consumers should be further deprived of a healthful food product that is available in almost every other country including the united states and great britain the ban which was applied against the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine shortly after the end of the first great war is much more than an ordinary protective measure it gives the butter producers of this country an absolute monopoly and monopolies are hard to justify under any circumstances says those demanding a change in the present regulations the milk board on the other hand opposes the move and we are inclined to agree with them they have a fear that once admitted oleo would be a competitor and ulti mately injure dairy prices that could be quite possible our suggestion would be to ship the oleo to ihose countries that are getting our butter and the matter would be solved for all of us now applying the strap it will be noticed with satisfaction on the part of the public not those who commit crime- that the strap is be ing applied to almost all sentences handed out for armed robbery or attempted robbery this kind of sentence has been long demanded by the public and it is bound to have a salutary effect on wouldbe robbers most of these law breakers are cowards at heart they do not fear jail terms but they fear a strapping raising a pig and people in this rural area will feel some sympathy for the farmer up windsor way who told a neighbor that he sold a pig for eight dollars what did it cost to raise him asked the neighbor paid three for him and five more for feed was the reply didnt make much did you nope but i had his company all fall brantford expositor longs for ontario apples there is at least one very unusual thing about this winter of 1946 yes there may be several unusual features about this season for instance the weather recently was more like april or even may than january it was a welcome and splendid respite from the cold of january but the unusual feature of january 1946 that interests us at the moment is the absence of apples in the cellar of ontario and york county farm homes now apples have been taken very much for granted apple picking has always been one of those jobs that had to be done in the busiest time of the fall and the apples had to be picked at just the right time a wind storm could make such a terrific mess of the finest apple crop apples have so many uses in the farm home and their usefulness extends over most of the months of the year along about august the early varieties ripen and almost immediately apple sauce and apple pie make their appear ance on the farmhome and considering the quantity of apples that move to market urban tables too must some times see these grand dishes then later on in the fall there is the applebutter mak ing there was a time when this delicacy was of vastly greater importance than in recent years the pioneers really appreciated the oldfashioned apple butter again round the farm kitchen stove on a winters evening yes along about this time of year the good old northern spy proved to be a real treat we would call it a treat this winter anyway though in other years we took the apple a day theory for granted an orange now that was a real treat it took a crop failure and a spell without apples to make us really appreciate the talman sweet the mcintosh and the northern spy do we ever stop to consider the foresight of the early pioneer who planted the first orchards we wonder what problems they faced in those days were rabbits and mice hungry for appletree bark then as they now are we won der too when the first worm made its appearance uncle ry says the little people be it known are never found where plans are made to start a war of any kind to subjugate to corner trade youll never find them holding stock in factor ies by our foes controlled where things to kill are para mount and soulless men pile up their gold the little people be it said will never stoop to things so base as absolute control of things the small mans business to efface youll never find them where big men whose hearts lust for great power and wealth will plan their quests and their schemes attain their ends by even stealth the little people only ask that pawns of war no

new chemical which the manufacturers say will be on sale in quantities in canada early in the spring will kill many weeds more effectively than any other chemical it will also kill dandelions and most other weeds found in lawns without injury to the grass it does however temporarily eliminate clover but the clover gradually grows again without reseeding while 21d when used on can ada thistle in grain crops did not completely kill the vigorous weed it was so badly set back that it did not reappear until nearly harvest time and ihen only in the form of young shoot practically the same results were obtained on field bind weed growing in a field of oats just how many applications of 21d will be required lo spell sure and certain death to canada thistle and field bindweed in grain crops is yet to lie determined when annual weeds such as mustard lambs quarters and red root pigweed are sprayed with the new weed killer they are blotted out as completely as hiroshima was by the atomic bomb as an example of this mr knowles says a dense growth of mustard growing in an acre of grain was eliminated knowles advises the exercise of considerable care or some cherish ed plants may be damaged far there is still much to learn about the new wonder weed killer discovery of 21d was made by a group of scientists in the united states in 1913 while experimenting with hormones or growth stimu lants ovorsiimuintion it was found killed some plants one of which was field bindweed the news of what 21d did to bindweed caused great interest among agri cultural scientists everywhere and plans to carry on experiment on other weeds have since been car ried out at several points in can ada and the us if additional experiments with 2id give as encouraging results as those which have already bren disclosed farmers may be able to wage more successful war against weeds which cost then many mil lions of dollars annually output of milk low hi holland holland has about 75 per cent as many milk cows
