public health beyond politics avers dr j a hatilkner addressing health league of canada i believe lhat the cause o public health is away beyond politics it concerns the humblest ones the poor est individuals in our country and that in my mind is our great respon sibility to our country said dr j a province of ontario speaking at the inaugural luncheon of the health league of canada held at the mount itoyal cub in montreal recently in the presence of his excellency the governor general who was the guest speaker the responsibility for individual welfare in this country continued dr fauldkner

luncheon today am p most sympathy with o anfl a ysaltli league of canada and r it will receive the support of l the public which its merits so thor oughly justify his excellency the governor gen eral addressing the luncheon guests said i am delighted to have a chance to wish god speed to the health lea gue of canada i listened with very great interest to dr bates admirable sketch of the problems before you and i have heard with delight as a patriotic canadian that canada has the honor of having given to the british empire its first minister of health it is a subject in which i was al ways deeply interested in at home and as dr hates has told you i was for some time chairman or the parl iamentary committee of the british social hygiene council the subject in recent years in britain has been very much to the fore and i think a good deal of valuable work has been done so i am delighted to think that you in canada are organising this great voluntary effort on behalf of tho public health for i have always re garded it as one of the principal dut ies of a civilized people i need not emphasize the gravity j of your problem sixtyfour years ago in a 1amous speech at the free trade hall in manchester disraeli said that public health must be ihe primary preoccupation of every minister and that i think has been admitted ever since as a principle of all politics iuiie independent of parties the need is greater today than ever when you sec human beings congregated in large aggregates even in areas and in occupations which are inimical to pub lie health i am afraid that you vvlu find that the subjects you have to deal with are simply endless more than one minister of health at home has com plained to me that he was so con stantly switching his mind to new topics that he became absolutely diz zy you have to deal with the quest ion of crowded areas which involves the immense subject of housing and he e in canada you have to deal with the question of too sparsely settled areas where it is difficult to get the ordinary services of civilization to each citizen you have to eradicvc new diseases and shut the ports ag ainst them you have to see that the people get pure water and clean food and above all you have lo educate them as dr bates has so well said that i- your primary duly education and the rigid kind of propaganda so ihat every citizen may be bade to tin derstand the rules of health remem box that what a man does for himself means far more than what is done for him by other people now gentlemen i am only going to delay von a very few minutes be cause i believe tlkit speeches of more tian a few minutes are inimical to public health they are had for the health of the speaker and and they are far worse for the health of the aud ience laughter voluntary effort individual effort is more important today than ever before simply because the tasks of the state are so vast that without vo luntary assistance they cannot be accomplished and after all is not that tho true meaning of democracy the second observation i would make fo you is that public health is one of the few department ijftvhich we may continue to m steady pro gress iu c all think of ssjfem things in which we are behind our ancestors but in this matter of public health there has been a steady upward movement i am old enough to remember both in scotland and in england conditions which were tak en for granted and which today would bo regarded as a public scandal and i am sure that you in canada must have the same recollection you cannot have a sound character and a sound mind except on the basis of a sound body except perhaps with a few gen iuses and saints and geniuses and saints are never very common in this world you cannot for example apply succesfully the very finest education al system in the world to children who arc undernourished and who come out of squalid homes t firokhin by professor henry g bell with the cooperation of the various departments

henry g bell room 121 73 adelaide st w toronto out milwaukee employes of the nunnbush shoe company under terms of a liberalized contract ef fective january 2nd were assured an income of 52 pay cheques each for 40 hours of work in 1930 henry nunn president of the company said he guaranteed his 850 workers an annual income in the belief that they were entitled to a fair share of their products selling price he also suggested the general adoption of the plan as a pos sible solution of the age old capital- labor problem industry of the future if it is to overcome the criticism that big business has been subjected to in recent years must realize lie said in an interview for publication that it has a moral responsibility not only to the consumer and to the stxk and bond holders but also to the plant workers who make it possible to create these values it must see that the workers get not so much per piece or so much per hour merely to meet com petitive conditions but an annual in come sufficient to enable them to live as we want all citizens to live the plan went into effect last july and was liberalized to recognize that since the workmans skill puts value into raw materials he should receive a fixed percentage of the products cash return under the plan nunn explained the payroll for the year was estim ated on the companys anticipated gross earnings and tho employes were guaranteed this amount should the earnings exceed the estimate employes will be given a wage ad- justmnt in a lump sum at tho end of the year the clause is mandatory under the contract lp durham county question i would like to know what mixture of fertilizer to use on peas on light loam following hay alf alfa only thrives in patches on this field can peas and fertilizer be sown with a fertilizer drill without injuring the germinating power of the peas answer regarding fertilizers for peas i would say that wo tested three different types of fertilizers on gravelly loam farms in grey and victoria counties this past summer comparative blocks were acre each in area so that the test was quite extensive the fer tilizers were applied at 250 lbs per acre and the yields were as fol lows yield gain per acre 225 bus 239 bus 14 bus 228 bus 3 bus 250 bus 35 bus treatment 0 212g 2100 21210 italians in south africa arc con tributing to italys war expense in ethiopia these results would indicate that 21210 is best adapted for peas this seems quite logical in consideration of the characteristics of the crop applying 21210 fertilizer at 250 lbs per acre through the fertilizer section of the combination drill at the same time as peas are being sown will be safe there would not bo enough fertilizer come into con tact with the sprouting seeds to in jure their vitality henry g bell dept of chemistry oac jeh york question on some of my back fields which are quito rolling with standing knolls i am greatly trou bled with quack or twitch grass this is stretching down into the vallies and making it hard to cul tivate what can i do to get rid of general way feb 20th it answer for quack or twitch grass small patches of this weed can be readily destroyed by spraying with chemical sprays with a sodium chlorate base atlacido is one of the best for this purpose use this solution to the strength of 1 lb of atlacide to one gailon of water and applied at the rate of one gallon per 100 square foot spray the twitch grass three times giving the first application just as the twitch grass comes into ear the second when two inches of new growth have appeared and the third a month later apply the solution in the form of a fine mist under pressure if the whole field is overrun with twitch grass spraying will be too costly and the twitch grass will have to be dealt with by cultiva tion some men have good results by keeping tho field well cultivat ed in the early part of the season and then sowing buckwheat at the rate of two bushels per acre the buckwheat is ploughed under in tho fall and land again given thor ough cultivation until the ground freezes up rape can also be used to advan tage in the destruction of this pest cultivate the field until about the middle of june running over it frequently with the cultivator so as to keep the tops down and thus weaken the roots then apply manure at the rate of about twen ty tons per aero twelve good loads cultivate the manure in thoroughly and with a double mould board plow slightly ridge up the land making the ridges about 20 inches apart on the ridges sow pasture rape at the rate of 114 pounds per acre it is important that the right amount of rape should be sown for if too little is sown the stand will not be thick enough to smother the twitch grass and on the other hand if too much is sown the plants will be too crowded and not grow vigorously enough to keep ahead of tho weed sow the rape when the land is sufficiently moist to insure quick germination of the seed if the rape is slow in start ing tho twitch grass may get a start in tho rows and thus necessi tate hand cultivation there culti vate the rape every week or ten day3 until it occupies all the ground and makes further cultiva tion impossible if when the rape is cut or pastured any twitch grass remains the field should be ridged up the last thing in the fall and hoed crop put in tho fol lowing year this should not be necessary
