Story of Three

Met With Success In Canada

Premier King pointed out the oth-
er day that there are, in the Cana-
dian Gov three isters
who came to Canada as British im-

land; Mr. Forke, from Scotland; and
Mr. Heenan, from Treland. In a cab-
inet of eighteen members, three Old
Countrymen hold the important port-
folios of Railways, Canals, Immigra-
tion-Colonization, and Labor. And
they came to the Dominion without

The experi of Mr. Dunnii
Mr. Heenan and Mr. Forke are of in-
terest not only because they represent
England, Ireland and Scotland, but
.because they set their feet upon
somewhat different political ladders.
Mr. Dunning climbed up by way of
his prominence in business and agri-
cultural organizations; Mr. Forke by
way of ural and icipal
experience; Mr. Heenan, by way of
municipal and labor affiliations.
Mr Dunning achieved political pro-
minence at an early age; Mr. Heenan
in middle life; Mr. Forke, as an older
man. They afford three interesting
and quite different studies in immi-
grant success.

Mr. Forke came to Canada in 1882

LONG RECORD OF SERVICE

W. H. D'Arcy, general claims
-agent of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way, at Winnipeg, who retired from
the services of the Company, July 1.
Mr. D’Arcy's record with the Rail-
way dates back to 1882, a year after
construction of the transcontinental
line was commenced.

pal affairs. He was twenty vyears_

president.
ada thirty-nine years and was sixty-
one years of age before he was
elected to the House of Commons.
The following year he became House
leader of the Progressives and in
1926, at the age of sixty-six became
a minister in the King Government.

Among the immigrants who came
to Canada in 1902 were Peter Hee-
nan and Charlie Dunning. Heenan
was 28; Dunning only 17.

Heenan, born in Ireland but school-
ed in England, and for a time a pro-
fessional football player, had been
working as engineer and diver for a
construction company in Cost Rica,
had been attacked by yellow. fever,
and had examined the rival clainis of
Canada and South Africa as to
healthier climate. He chose Canada,
tried an Alberta ranch, preferred be-
‘ing al ive engineer, 1 an
alderman of Kenora and chairman of
the Association of Locomotive Eugin-
eers, and 17 years after coming to
Canada was elected to the Ontario
Legislature. Six years later he was
elected to the Dominion House from
a constituency larger in area than
Great Britain. And in 1926, 24 years
after his arrival in the Domiinion, and
at the age of 52, he became Minister
of Labor.

Dunning’s career was meteoric. He
told the House the other day how, on
first coming to the Dominion, he
worked for the summer on a western
farm at ten dollars a month. The
next year his father came. And by
working at wages which never ex-
ceeded a dollar a day and board (the
equivalent of perhaps two dollars),
they laid by, in a summer and winter,
enough money to bring out the moth-
er and five sisters. But at 26, nine
years after his arrival, Dunning ap-
pears in the picture as vice-president
of the Saskatchewan Grain Growers,
Fg v1 of the
ewan Co-operative Elevator Com-
pany, and member of the Canadian
Council of Agriculture. At 34 years
of age he became Provincial Tieas-
urer of Saskatchewan; then Premier
of that Province, and in 1926 became,
like Heenan, a Minister of the Do-
minion Government—age only 41.

In these three careers there is a
lesson of hope for every immigrant
and every intending immigrant. Not
everyone can hope to be a Cabinet
Minister; but all can hope for a
greater degree of final comfort and
prosperity than they are likely to at-
tain elsewhere.—Toronto Star.

World's Greatest Creditor
In.a report to the Economic Com-

Geneva, some remarkable figures
were disclosed. Although the United
| States are certainly growing in im-
portance. Great Britain is still the
world’s greatest creditor; her foreign
investments are roughly given as
£4,000,000,000. The United States
investments are given at £2,800,000,-

preventing the spread of disease, and
| they recognize the fly as one of the
{most proficient disease-spreaders of
our region. That was an interesting
experiment recently reported. They

| washed a fly and found by count that

his bath water contained 1,250,000
bacteria that” were not in it before
the process. .

Probably that fly was no filthier
than the average run of tie mem-
bers of his family. The conclusion
is that all flies deserve swatting; that
all unswatted flies should be kept out
of houses by screens, and that all
places suspected of breeding flies
should be cleaned up.

Canada Stands Fifth
In Milk Production

United States At Head Of List With
Germany Second

The eighteen largest milk produc-

cording to latest returns, 67,822,743
milch cattle. Of these the United
States leads with 2 10.000. Ger-
many is second with 10 066,517, then
France, 7,701,410, Great Britain and
Treland 4,358,279, and Canada is 1ifth
with 3,894,311.

The total output-of butter Is 4,-
534,851,758 pounds of which Canada
makes 272,209,287 pounds, and of
cheese 2,278,918,895, and of this Can-
ada‘s share is 172,248,375. The United
States is head of the list in butter-
making, with Canada sixth, and Ger-
many heads the cheese list with Can-
ada fifth. The per capita consyump-
tion of milk in the United States is
55.3 gallons, and in Canada 43.2 gal-

Poultry House Flooring
‘
Cement Floors Give Trouble On
Account Of Dampness
“Cement flooring for the poultry

house has the merit of durability and
it does not harbor vermin, but many
poultry keepers complain that it
gives trouble in winter and spring
on account of being continually
damp. At the Charlottetown Experi-
mental Station the cement floor was
given a coat of roofing paint but it
did not reduce the dampness to any
appreciable extent as the litter soon
became damp and unfit for use almost
as quickly as where the floor was
left without treatment. In another
house a wooden floor was built and
laid in sections two inches above the
cement. This treatment, according to
Mr. J. A. Clark, the superintendent,
in his report for 1927, was very
effective, the section remaining dry
and requiring cleanimg only about
half as many times as the other sec-
tions of the same house that had the
cement floor only,

Trade Within
Being Furthered

The development of trade within}
the Empire is a matter which, uring |
recent years, has been given the yery
earnest attention of all those coun- |
tries making up the British common-
wealth of nations. It is felt that the
fostering of intra-Empire trade will)
open up opportunities for trade rela-
tions that will not only serve to bring
more closely together the various
parts of the Empire; but as well, af-
ford such direction to production and
consumption of those commodities
for which the various countries con-
cernéd are»best suited to produce,
that the well-being of the whole Em-
pire will be greatly added to. With
this object in view, the Imperial
Economic Conference, of which Can-
ada is a member, in 1923 appointed
the Imperial Economic Committee to
study the possibilities for doing
something to stimulate marketing
within the Empire. As a result of
their first and subsequent meetings,
the Empire Marketing Board was
created,

The Empire Marketing Board as
constituted is an official non-political
body, and the membership isso ar-
ranged that, though limited for the
sake of efficiency, no part of the Em-
pire is unrepresented, and itg chief
function is that of advisor to the Sec-
retary of State for Dominion affairs,
in the administration of the annual}
vote of £1,000,000 as granted by the
| Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The Imperial Economic Committee
and the Empire Marketing Board are
closely related, partly because the
Empire Marketing Board is charged
with the endeayor. to give effect
within the terms of the Vote, to
many of the recommendations of the
Imperial Economic Committee and
partly because certain men are
members of both bodies.

The Committee proposed in the
first instance that a very considerable
proportion of the grant should be de-
voted to promoting Enipire buying
in the United Kingdom, and a rainor
portion reserved for the ussistance of
research. Later, the Board modified
in the direction of an increased ex-
penditure for the assistance of re-
search. .

The value of consumer publicity
early engaged the attention of the
Board and it was with the object of

creating interest in the
matter of Empire trade expansion
within, that the Board at the outset
dealt with a publicity problem, both
novel and difficult, The Board avpre-
ciated the fact that its main function
in the field of publicity was to create
& background against which individ-
ual governments, or countries, or
trading interests could throw into re-
lief the claim‘of fhose commodities
in which they were interested. This
principle has been permanently
adopted. Thus, while the Board may
draw attention in general terms at
the proper seasons to particular
varieties of Empire produce, it is not
called upon to undertake or subsidize
special campaigns on their behalf.
The effect has been that the Board
has been engaged less in furthering
directly, the sale of individual articles
of Empire produce, than in creating
a consciousness of Empire among a
public that might thus be led to re-
spond more freely to the direct ap-
peals of other advertisers. Already,
there are evident signs up and down
Great Britain of a fresh and grow-
ing interest in the possibilities of
Empire development and trade, and
as well, an abvious preference for
Empire products where quality and
cost are in proper relation.
Consumer interest in the work of
the board is now growing with
amazing rapidity. Within recent
months, approximately 15,000 school,

Through Efforts

ertheless, it should be repeated that
the whole scheme would be worse
than futile if in urging the policy of
voluntary preference, we would be
advertising inferior goods and this
we would be doing, if the goods or
products on offer from Empire
sources are not.adequate, both in
quality and volume to meet whatever
competition they are likely to en-
counter.

Those of us who have been privi-
leged to visit the leading market cen-
tres in Great Britain and those of
us who have had to do in a practical
way with the sale of Canadian pro-
ducts in the British market, realize
how sound is the idea that quality
and volume represent the only condi-
tionals on which Empire produce
may be- given a privileged place in
the consuming “centres of Great Bri-
tain. And further, it is necessary that
in the matter of volume, the same
shall be uniform and regular
None understands better than Can-
ada, with her long winter months
and her comparatively short grow-
ing season, the difficulties encounter-
ed in develpiong uniform product
volume. Nevertheless, regularity of
volume is essential to obtainins vol-
untary preference, and we have to
face the issue as it stands; and we
have successfully overcome greater
difficulties in times past.

The Empire Marketing Board as
an aid in fostering Empire trade, de-
serves our full support and with tho
widening of the scope of ‘ts activi-
ties from time to time its growing
influence on our trade opportunities
make it the more essential that wo
should give the work of this Board
representing the efforts of th Tm-
perial Economic Committee on onr
behalf, the full measure of our sup-
port. On the recommndations made
by the Empire Marketing Board to
the Committee, beneficial legislative
enactments are likely to be made from
time to time and it is important that
our agricultural and commercial in-
terests keep themselves fully posted
on the work of this Committee,

Poison For Insects

: \
Both Liquid and Dry Applications Are
Recommended

‘
Practically all plant insects that

stroyed by poisoning. In his new
bulletin No. 99, of the Department of

the Flower Garden and Their Con-
trol,” Mr. Arthur Gibson the Domin-
ion Entomologist, recommends hoth
liquid and dry applications. When
Paris green is used, 4 ounces of Par-
is green and half a pound of fresh
lime are sufficient for forty gallons
of water. Where only small quanti-
ties are needed a teaspoonful of Par-
is green and the same quantity of
lime are the proper quantities for a”
pail of water. For dry applications a
pound of Paris green should be mixed
with 20 pounds of land plaster,
slaked lime, or other perfectly dry
powder. This preparation should be
dusted on the plants early in the
morning while the dew is still on.
Arsenate of lead is in some ways pre-
ferable to Paris green because it does
no injury to the foliage and will not
wash off easily by rains. The pow-
dered arsenate of lead is recominend-
ed in the bulletin to be used in the
strngth of two pounds to 40 gallons
of water. When the paste form is
used 4 pounds is the proper quantity
to 40 gallons of water. For small gar-
den use one tablespoonful of the
paste arsenate of lead to a gallon of
water is about the proper strength.
