ed to the majority of farms in East- ern Canada in both the distribution of crops and the saving of labour. One-fifth of the area is devoted to hoed crops, which will produce, on the average, sufficient succulent feed for the stock carried; two-fifths ure‘ln grain, which means a consid- erable increase in grain production over the three-or-four year rotation; and two-fifths are in hay. Much of the land that is producing hay for five or six years in succession, says the departmental bulletin, would be in a far better state of fertility were a rotation such as the above put into practice and the same quantity of hay would be produced on a smaller area. Under some conditions fields not suited to the production of hoed crops may be carried under -a grain and hay rotation. The most suitable oi these is a three-year rotation of grain, clover hay, timothy hay or pasture. '

The local Liberal organ compl-rns ihlr in our comment on the speech from tllc Throne we ignored the

facing the roads of the Provtrce. The objection is well taken. How on earth could we have forgotten that nstrnishing Paragraph 16 of the tE-QCHJII which declares that the De- ynrtnlent of Public Works last year "curried out the experiment of con- siructlng a mile of sand asphalt pavement, and it is the intention to further pursue this policy of halrl surfacing our highwaysto an extent consistent with thc revenues of the Province." In view of the fact that the Government has no "poliqv" uhatcvcr in the matter, because the txpcrinlent undertaken last summer is not yet completed. and will not be conlpletcd until it has proven, first, to bc feasible, ‘and second, to be tccnomical, we should certainly nave cilhcd attention to the erroneous and llllslending reference to this fllfflt“? ill the speech put into the mouth of llis Honour thc Lieutenant Govern- last Tuesday. Ilowevcr, our omission has been lvlzpplied by Mr. R. H. Gordon, Lib- oral member for the First District of Prince, wllo in sccollding the AGGJPSS in the Legislature yesterday very properly pointed out that the pres- cnt winter afforded no adequate test oi thc enduring quality of the work done on the so-called McIntyre llzghway. In the first place, Mr. Gor- don said, there has not been enough frost this winter to make the test of any value; so it cannot be decided until another winter has come and‘ is good,

Two Leaders

There are already many indications that the people of Canada have slight patience with the former pre- mier, Mr. King. in his 27,000 word effort in Parliament to lay blame at Mr. Bennett's door for conditions which he and his Government quired as a legacy from Mr. King.

refused to acknowledge conditions in this country. During the months that all sections of Canada appealed to him to do something about unenl- plcyment he and his ministers quot- ed blue books to prove there was no unemployment. Now he presents the spectacle of a man shocked and horrified by con- ditions of which he, more than any other man irlCanada, is the author. And instead of offering a single con- structive suggestion ior the improve- ment of affairs he has only four- and-a-half hours of destructive and partisan complaint to present.

Public sympathy is naturally with Mr. Bennett. His emergency relief gave work to more than 230,000 Can- adians, His tariff measures of last fall have started several industries to greater employment. Forthcoming legislation will do more. No reason- able person expected him to accom- plish more than he has accomplish- ed in the face of existing conditions and in the time he has had. Every reasonable person expects he will go definitely and constructively ahead through the months to come, laying the foundation of permanent growth and prosperity.

So much for the Government's sand asphalt "policy." If it was tile illlclltioll of Paragraph l6 to mislead the clcciors into believing that the izxpcrinlcnt has already provcn a success. it is gratifying to note that at lvnsty one Liberal member had to: lllucil sell-respect to allow his name ‘to he with such propaganda.

fJg/stsnzutic Rotations

Systcnlatic rotations, wherein dif- firrllt crops follow one another in a regular or systematic order, have llccll advocated by agricultural ex- ports for many years. The majority of farlllcrs follow some form of crop rotation, but often this is not sys- tclnatic and one crop is grown on the snnlc land for two or more years in succession.

The chlct advantages of following a definite scheme of crop rotation are thus summed up in a bulletin recently issued by the Federal De- prlrtnlcllt of Agriculture: (1) It as- slsts in maintaining and improving soil fertility, thus increasing the yield of farm crops; (2) It assists in the control or‘ wceds- if proper tillage methods are followed; (3) It assists in the control of insect and fungus diseases by having the various crops on fresh soil each year; (4) It re- sults ill n. more even distribution of labour throughout the season when suitable acreagcs of various crops are f1l‘0‘l\‘ll that are planted and harvest- ed nt different times.

New Zealand spent within the last year 30075 per caplta on pin-chases from Britain. The Irish Free Etate is a close second with $58.50, while Australia comes third’ with $24.50 Norway ranks next with $22.75, while Denmark and Canada fifth and sixth places respectively with purchases of approximately $14.50 per caplta. The inhabitants of the United states spent only a little over $1 per capita on British goods in 1930 while Soviet Russia purchas- ed goods worth only 20 cents per capita.

The European staff-collespondeni of the Canadian Press has been re- fused permission to enter Russia; but, perhaps, the blow is softened by the fact that the refusal is not based upon grounds of moral turpl- tude.

Dunn; his remarks on the Gov- ernor Generafs Speech Ex-Premler King accused the Bennett Govern- ment of abolishing the old tariff board in order to create a new board upon which it could place its own partisans. Had Mr. King's memory not been temporally im- paired by the strain of trying to find something to say he would have recalled the fact that the tariff board of his own creation consisted mainly of Mr. W. H. Moore who, after being defeated as a Liberal candidate for Parliament, was appointed chairman of the tribunal, and who resigned that chairman- ship to contest his old constituency last year. The Honorable W. L: Mackenzie King is a poor ‘sport. His thinly veiled threat to keep the

Ilfouse in session long enough to tion campaign, Mr. King persistently'

prevent the attendance of the Premier and members of his Cabinet from attending the Imperial Conference at Ottawa next summer was unworthy of a poor hockey player. Mr. King is more than likely to meet with a severe disap- pointment as a politician and a prophet, when that conference will in all probability arrive at coll- clusions which will result in a far reaching trade agreement between Canada and the Mother Country and the other Dominions.

Mayor Thompson of Chicago may find himself at somewhat of a dis- advantage in the actual mayoral contest, having fired most of his big Euns in the preliminary race. We do not know what he can say to Cermak. his Democratic opponent that will not sound tame, after his public declaration that Judge Lyle was a wife-murderer and a degener- ate.

Allart from the handicap imposed by the illness of the leader. Sir Oswald Mosleys “New Party" is having its share of trouble and is receiving little encouragement. Five members of Parliament who decided ‘to follow his banner have failed to obtain a vote of confidence from their local Labor organizations and most of them‘ have been asked to quit their seats, with little prospect of re-electlon.

When ‘Banting discovered insulin. he had only in mind t g to get something that would ta the place of a Juice manufactured the pan- creas that cogltrolled the use of sugar-in the system. Whelftfhe pan- creas was damaged, and there was thus not enoughof this juice in the system, much of the sugar so help- ful to the system lnsupplylug en- ergy, was thrown away in the urine. Hence the presence of sugar in the urine regularly,- gave the \diagnosis of diabetes. ;

But it would seem that‘ lndiscov- ering this cure “for diabetet that Banting gave to the world in in- sulin a substance whose powers for good in the body are just being dis- covered. From various parts of the world research physicians are re- porting some new~use for insulin in overcoming certain defects and de- ficiencies in the body. I

For instance just a fewweeks ago three French physicians reported the successful use of insulin, combined with dextrose (sugar) in the treat- ment of heart disturbances. They found that insulin used alone, re- lieves a falling heart, and that it reinforces and prolongs the action of other heart stimulants. It acts as a strengthencr of heart muscle itself.

Then in Sweden Dr. R.‘ Roholm studied the action of the stomach Juice in 27 normal persons, 9 of whom received no insulin, and the other sixteen received injections of insulin.

What did he find?

That in those who received the in- jections of insulin there was a eon- slderable- increase in the amount of stomach juice manufacturer. Not only wasthe amount increased but the amount of pepsin and hydroch- loric acid in the stomach Juice was also increased.

Wehave spoken before about other uses of insulin and now it has been

March Sunshine

(Vancouver Province)

It must be something in the joy- ous effect of this March sunshine. If you should ask. first of all. Willi March sunshine, we answer that March was shining in the sun‘ as this was written, and that our Zaith and hope is that March will shine in the sun again. And as to the something we refer to. it la the new! once more that mexrc cloth- ing is to be brighter, light- er and gayer this sprini- We Set "155 story every year about this time. find it always cheers us up. We always have believed it; we have never Sew it come true; we hope we shall al- ways go on believing it. ‘Ihat 1B th! great virtue of a good story; you 61m stick t0 it in the face of all dis- illusionment; you can go on believ- ing it to the end.

This year's version of the story is that they are showing men's hats of red in the windows of the New York hatters, and coats of many colors in the windows of the New York tailors. We hear also of varlesflffid W818i" coats and trousers to match the coats. We hear of a "camel's-hair suit that verges upon a golden sheen." We hear of haberdashery al~ most incredible-ties of orange and socks of palest green and shoesthat might put the chameleon to shame. And, because March is shining in the glorious sun, we are glad at heart of thase tidings, and we hasten to im- prove the record in these presents.

But if you ask us to say that this beautiful story will come true, in any observable difference or improve- mentIln the local sartorial appear- ance of the creature man, well, we can't go that far. Since the memory of men in this office runs not back to the contrary, when March visited us with these glorious outpourings of the sun, we have heard, year by year, the story of gayer and brighter clothes for men. We do not doubt the tale of red hats and goiden-sheened suits, in the shop windows, at all. What we doubt is the chance that they will rise upon our gaze anywhere else. Man. we believe, considered in his male aspect will go on as a crea- ture of drabncs and greyness. After all, in this matter, as in so many others, man in his male aspect is not much more than a foil for another and a brighter and gayer creature altogether.
