the dairy council canada will face one of the worst butter shortages on record in this country next fall very well how about lifting the ban on oleomargarine for six months or a year in order to help the farmers meet the need for butter and in order give those folks butter that may have to go without if the forecast that there is a butter shortage eminent hadnt come from the top ranking officer of the dairy association we would have passed it up as propaganda for the introduction of margarine cleaning up at musselmans lake the recent lawlessness that has outraged the cottagers and all other decent people in and about the musselmans lake area is being speedily put down by the police of the province county and the local force young hoodlums from toronto landed at the lake in force on various occasions broke into cottages and assaulted and insulted decent girls in the neighborhood they roamed about all night and made life a hideous thing for people who lived nearby magistrate martin promises to deal sternly with all who are brought before him and his announcement to this effect was lead with great satisfaction however the hoodlums do not read very much and will learn only the hard way several who were implicated in recent trouble at the lake spent time in the don jail and this information will spread rapidly among their gang with good effect it is a strange thing that lads 15 to 17 can be absent from their homes all night in order to roam around lake resorts and not be checked up by their parents income tax figures during the session of parliament recently prorogued memlbers from predominantly rural constituencies berated the government for sending income tax snoopers into the farming areas across canada the national revenue department now has 22000 assessors checking farm returns this large number of investigators is partly the result of casual inquiries by urban members about the percentage of fanners paying income tax revenue minister mccann disclosed that in 1943 the latest year for which final figures are available 40387 farmers in canada paid a total of 9843000 in income tax the canada year book provides the other figures for comparison in the same year canadians as a whole paid income taxes totalling 695000000 farm families make up 29 per cent of the total population the 40000 farmers who contributed were a small fraction of the 732000 farm operators listed in the last census surely farming is a more profitable venture than the figures indicate a purely german setting between 15 and 20 ontario high school teachers of

decorative but very use ful and it is surprising that so few farmers or gardeners do not make more effort to make a crop of it says the st thomas times- journal it notes that the government of queensland will devote 500000 acres to the growing of sunflowers chiefly for the purpose of feeding pigs the sunflower has three different values besides being good to look upon the leaves make excellent feed for live stock and poultry the seeds produce valuable oils and the floral part yields a yellow dye the timesjournal goes on to give these interesting facts russia grows millions of tons of sunflowers every year and they can be grown with very little trouble in almost any country in the world the british government is examining the virtues of the sunflowers and it is even probable that the 3000000 acres which are now being planted to peanuts in central africa for the purpose of obtaining vegetable oils will be planted in rotation with sunflowers current price of sunflowers is about 30 a ton denmark is famed for its dairy products and cake made from sunflowers was before the war largely used to feed bacon hogs and also poultry in winter the average amount of oil in sunflower seed is 30 per cent and that in peanuts 36 per cent sunflower oil is edible semidrying pale yellow in color and with a pleasing odor and flavor the oil is said to be better than olive oil
