In some counties spring grains were slightly discoloured in the stock by rains, but generally the quality is good. Above average yields in the coun- ties comprising the crops districts designated West- ern and Eastern Ontario oset the considerably below average yields obtained in Brant, Lincoln. Welland, Durham, Northumberland, Hastings, Peter- boro and Prince Edward. For the province as a whole the average yield per acre of oats is placed at 36.7 bushels as compared with 36.8 bushels last year. With the exception of the year 1935 the total production of oats, amounting to 83,398,500 bushels, is the highest since 1939. The total pro- cluction ot barley is estimated at 15,631,500 bushel: as against 16,649,000 bushels in 1938, but the de- crease is due more largely to a reduction of 22,000 acres in the area seeded than to the reduction or 06 bushels in yield per acre. The first estimate of hay and clover crop places the production at 3,888,200 tons as compared with 4,169,100 tons in 1938. In some of the coun- ties of Southern and Central Ontario the yield was below ave-i'age. but in Western Ontario yields were satisfactory, while in Northern Ontario one of the largest hay crops in years was harvested. The yield per acre for Ontario averaged 1.62 tons as against 1.71 tons last year.

The War-time Prices and Trade Board. clothed with very wide powers to stop proteering in the necessaries of life, has not yet had time to take cognizance of all the advances that have occurred within the past week in staple food products, but already action has been taken in respect to sugar. and there is no doubt that the board will quickly put a stop to unreasonable enhancement of prices of other products of 9. vital character. The per- sonnel of the board includes economists. trade and tariff experts who have had wide experience in de- termining costs, reasonable prices and proiits. They have been given full power to fix maximum prices or margins of prot, to take possession of supplies that are being withheld from the inarket. and, in brief, to stop proteering and ensure pun- ishment of the guilty by fines not exceeding $5,000 or imprisonment for two years, or both, in addi- tion to cancelling the licenses of the proteers, thus putting them out of business.

Evidence of proteering has already been manifest in many sections of the country and de- liberate attempts to advance the prices on neces- sities of life for personal gain have shown them- selves. Most Canadians, we believe, will be in full - accord with the opinion expressed by the Globe and Mail, as follows: 'T`hn churn urlvnhnn: in nrir-ca: nf the hf`,f`. lP5 Mr. Bzmnerman, of Stayner, 501.1` 9. team of lmavy drzmughts for $310! I auu. J.VJ.:u, no LUHUWD . The sharp advances in prices of the necessaries of life and in the securities of companies produc- ing machinery and supplies for the belligerent: warrant prompt action by the Government of Can- ada to curb proteering. In the week since war was declared every consumer in the Dominion has seen evidence that there are producers and middle- men Who will not hesitate to enhance prices and make excessive prots by withholding from the market normal supplies. Every one who is old enough recalls how fortunes were made by avaric- ious proteers in the Great War while soldiers were giving their lives for $1.10 a day. The Canadian people will not tolerate a repetition of such d_is- graceful and disgusting conduct. The unhealthy rise in security prices in anticipation of excessive war prots reects a prospect not likely to prevail. Fortunately, the nation's leaders in Parliament and elsewhere are determined that there shall be no enrichment of some while others are sacricing life itself to destroy Hitlerism. Colonel H. S. Hamilton, M.P. of Sault Ste. Marie, voiced the un- animous view of Parliament when he said there must be equality of sacrice. Hon. Dr. Manion, the National Conservative Leader, expressed the universal opinion in this striking sentence: "While the volunteer is offering his life the profiteer and the racketeer must be eliminated. `....w.... vcnvnan V-.. V. ~._._.v-cu. Actual experience alone will reveal whether ad- ditional measures with sharper teeth will be neces- sary. In the past, Government buying has been besmirched by patronage and prices have been in- creased sufciently to permit of election fund con- tributions. That evil should be discontinued, at least for the duration of the war. The people are willing to pay reasonable prices, but they will re- bel against anything in the nature of a Lollgate. The Canadian people believe that excess prots made upon munitions and armaments, food, fuel and clothing at a time like this are blood money, The Prime Minister was vehement in his denuncia- tion of proteering, declaring that he knew oi nothing more contemptible and that no matter who the individual may be and how respectible he may appear in his own eyes or in the eyes of others or what position he may hold, if he seeks to pro- teer in this crisis he belongs to the underworld and should be treated as one of those who menace all that is sacred in human relations. The Dominion Government already has taken steps to curb proteering in necessaries of life. i.e., food, fuel and clothing, by the appoumnent of The War-time Prices and Trade Board and to limit prots on certain munitions and other war- time machinery and supplies to five per cent. 11 rrarnqinc tn no u/hprhm' rh(-Nr- l`nf*`.l\'ll1'(`< will ni- Lllllti ll1'LL}.l11LlCAy uuu. aupyuca DU AIVC IJCX LCHL. 1.: remains to be seen whether these measures will or adequate or whether it will be necessary to seize excess prots by a. stiening of the tax provisions.
