have been told year after year Just to wait for tho Budget and I should got their platform. I had one explanation, I think three years ago, from the hon. member for Red Deer (Mr. Clark). After an amendment to the Budget had been moved, he came forward in a drslmatic manner into Parliament and moved something pretty close to the Farmers’ plaform. But he found. of course, that there could be only one amendlmcnt to the Budget. and so in tear-s he had to withdraw his rmction, lamenting the fact that. the rules oi the House forbade him to move e second amendment. But what about all the years since? Why did he not at least once get up and move his amendment ibefore some one else intervened? Surely his colleagues directly opposite are not so dlscourteous to him-so dis- courteous that they insist on being

Success comes, in any business, only to those who have a high ideal and keep advancing. On the other hand failure waits for the man who is content to allow his business to magnate. Breeders" of livestock are facing problems today that require expert business like handling. The high cost of feed, labor and heavy overhead ex penses are matters for average farmers and which they find cou- frcntlng them every dsy. Successful farmers have already realized the value of good breed- ing ln livestock. Testimonies from these men are easily obtained and should convince the most sire ptical that the only way to Ibeai! the lafoor problem, cost of feed etc is to keep only those animals that are bred to produce either milk or beef. The surveys conducted by Prof. Leitcll in the different counties all go to prove that where farmers are using pure bred sires in either bee.‘ or dairy herds, they are making greater incomes with practically the same quantity of feed.
