Conducted by the Department of Ag- riculture, this week of lectures, demon- strations and recreation has been plan- ned especialiy for farmers and rural home makers. All facilities of the School of Agriculture including plots, herds of. live stock, laboratories ‘and the grounds are used to make “Farm and Home Week” a profitable and en- joyable holiday. : This year emphasis will be placed on those production. problems which have arisen: out of the war, and a number of prominent authorities will be on hand to take part in the prog- ramme and lead the discussions. Am- ong the general topics to be discussed this year are: Horses, beef cattle, dairy ; cattle, sheep and swine, forage crops, and agricultural engineering. A special programme is being ar- ranged for the ladies to deal with hotriculture, poultry, useful home ap- pliances, and Home Economics. very effort will be used to make the programme as practical and usefu! as possible, and the Department ex- tends a cordial invitation to everyone to attend “Farm and Home Week.” Board and room at reasonable rates may be obtained in the modern dor- mitories of the school. THE WORLD OF WHEAT By H. G. L. Strange Research Department, Searle Limited Director, q Company, During the long history of Britain there is one. word that has ever been a, guiding star to our people—the word DUE. It is- because of the ‘Devotion to Duty” of: such great figures as Drake, Cook, Nelson, Wellington, and of the one milion soldiers of the Empire who gave their lives. in the last war, that our people have had the quiet peace- ful enjoymient of the wheat fields of Canada, the pastures of Australia and New Zealand, the mines of South Af- riea, the fisheries of Newfoundland, the pleasant. lands and great cities of the. Motherland; and of the justice, » toleration, liberty and freedom enjoyed by all of us under the British flag. Today these precious things are threatened by an implacable, efficient, numerous and ruthless enemy. Sol- diers from every part of the British Empire are desperately struggling in the thick of battle against overwhelm- ing numbers, to cling to strategic posi- tions which must ‘be held if Canada’ and the Empire is to survive; and so . an urgent call has gone out for help, and today our young men have the high privilege of doing in turn their plain duty by joining the armed forces of. Canada to reinforce their~ sorely pressed comrades now holding the Em- pire battle lines. 1% * . The following factors have tended to raise pricé: Ganada exported 20.3 mil- lion bushels of: wheat during April and 8.8 million bushels for the single week ending May 16th, the highest weekly export in 9 ‘years; estimates.of wheat seedings for the’ 1941 wheat rrop in 17 northern hemisphere countries total 2.5% below 1940; seedings in Japan reported: nearly 4% below those of 1940 and crop prospects unfavorable. The following factors have tended to lower pricé: The Kansas winter wheat crop is now. estimated unofficially at 185 million bushels, up 19 million from May: 1st; India’s crops reported excel- lent and acreage up 2% over. 1940; |: Argentine corn stocks remain at a very high level with exports negligible. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Pupils of Grade three were visitors in room one last Friday. afternoon: to enjoy a program put on at the com- pletion cf the “Oner’s” enterprise on “Spring.” Original songs, verses and a play were given, and the entertain- ment was rounded out by a sing-song. * One day last week, some of the high schocl boys*went to Bowden for a soft- ball game, “but were badly defeated. 8 8 Rules for the Victory Loan poster and essay contests have been posted on the hall bulletin boards. . Entries are to be in by June Sth. And, just as a reminder that the end of the term is getting. uncomfort- ably close, those official-looking dep- -artmental time tables have again made their annual appearanice. * * Last Thursday-the Grade six class went.on a field trip in connection with their enterprise on “Nature.” During the day they- picked: up a number of specimens to .add to their Nature col- lection. The hike was made complete with a weiner roast. : It is possible that the University of Alberta medical school . will operate through the’ summer recess in order to speed up the supply of medical men now needed in Canada. The shortage is felt most in the Canadian Army. Should proposals become effective, fifth year students will carry on with theirg studies and thus graduate. that much sooner. ‘ Record grain handlings for a single year by an elevator in Western Can- ada were established by the. Manitoba Pool Elevator house at Dauphin, the agent being J. T. Taylor. In 1939-40 the Dauphin elevator handled. 551,790 bushels. On August 24th, 1939 this elevator took in 30,000 bushels. and 28,000, which, it is believed, is an all-time record.in Western Can- This information is given as a ada. matter of historical interest. Until definite information as to tax field adjustments is forthcoming from Ottawa, Alberta will not make any commitments. This was the gist of a decision announced this week after the return from Ottawa of Hon. E. C. Manning and Hon. Solon E. Low. They conferred with the federal fint ance minister in the Nation’s. capital, and “gave a clear picture of the essen- tial requiremerits requisite to a fair deal in the interests of the people of Alberta.” 2 AMERICANS, WAKE UP! (An editorial in the Christian Science Monitor) Is America going to let herself be shackled by fear? Isolationism and appeasement have tried to bind the United States with the heaviest bonds of defeatism ever forged for a free people. A stirring call to the kind of action that is needed is Wendell L. Willkie’s article in this week's issue of Collier's Magazine. It sounds the tocsin: stop being afraid!” That liberation from fear is what is needed today. Essentially what is be- ing preached at Americans today is, “Byvil is more powerful than good; so why struggle against it? Why not accept a Nazi victory? Why. not try to ‘get along’ with totalitarianism?” Or at best this isolationism preaches a doctrine of withdrawal into the sup- posed shell of the western hemisphere or even the northern half of that. Mr. Willkie says flatly that this is no way of keeping out of war. It. is, in his judgment, the surest. way of guaran- teeing that the United States will ulti- mately have to fight alone in a hostile world without a friend.- Many of the arguments on both sides of this subject are already fam- iliar. People evidently have to hear them over and over, compare .them, and test. the logic by reference to ex- perience. This is all good. It is part of saving. democracy by democracy. “Americans, must be to a purpose. And Mr. Willkie helps put the. purpose cogently. He points out that, “if Germany wins, the United States will find itself almost But in such crucial times thinking - Ceci iggana surrounded by governments hostile to our form of government, to our me- thods of earning a living, and to our concerpts of world trade.” The United States would have two choices, either fatal. If it tried to trade with the hostile governments it would have to do so on their terms and by totalitarian methods. - The American government would be driven to total- itarianism in controls of industry, prices and labor. Or if the United States chose to try to live within it- self, the loss of the nation’s entire foreign trade would mean larger un- employment, larger government debt, a lower standard of living, and ulti- mately destruction of freedom in the effort to preserve it. But, this does not have to be accept- ed. From the first there has’ existed a practical specific plan for defeat- ing Hitlerism. Mr. Willkie states it crisply: e Furnish to Britain today and tomor- row and the next day, for her despe- | rate need, ships. . .. Give to her des- | treyers, and if necessary see that those | ships loaded with the ever-increasing | production of American factories and farms, deliver. their cargoes safely to the ports of western and southern England. : And then, in 1942 and 1948, when the combined airplane and armament productiori of two hundred million free people in England, the United States, Canada, and Australia give to Bri- tain a sufficient, assured, and over- whelming superiority in the air, the enslaved people of France and Bel- gium and Holland and Norway and of all the conquered countries—perhaps even the enslaved people of Germany —will begin to arise and this mons- THE OLDS GAZETTE ae trous menace to the liberties of free _ evetywhére will be eradicated ut- lie a aidan of Lope. This is a program worthy of free men. Citi- gens' of the United States can repeat to each other no better watchword than Mr, Willkie’s injunction: “Ame- ricans, stop being afraid!” SUMMER PASTURES FOR DAIRY COWS A mixture of fall rye and oats sown before June ist will provide a satis- factory pasture for dairy cattle. The cats provide. pasture early in July and the fall rye, which will stand tramp- ling, will offer good pasture until frost appears’ and will also provide good pasture early the next spring. The rates of seeding suggested are half bushel fall rye and 1%. bushels of oats per acre, although this may change depending upon the locality. The land on which this grain be seeded ought to-be free of weeds, especially stinkweed and should ‘be in good tilth when the seed is sown. If provision can be made to divide this pasture into two or three. flelds, it. will be possible to rotate the dairy herd ‘from one field to another, thus providing better pastures for a longer period. ‘The town of Vulcan on tlie Calgary- Macleod line, may hold the record for having the greatest. volume of grain elevator storage in any town in West- ern Canada. The total capacity is 1,- 450,000 bushels, which insludes 747,000 bushels capacity provided by 20 new annexes which’ have been constructed within the last year or-so.

One of them was hard at work up on a step-ladder whitewashing the ceiling, and the second was down be- Jow doing the heavy looking-on. Fin- ally he said: “Have you got a good firm grip on that brush?” “Sure,” said the first patient, “why?” “Because,” replied his friend, “I’m taking the ladder away.” — x CASH OR TIME The famous Gilson "31 Gasoline, $05.96; Eiectric $57.75; Popular “Standard” Cream Sepe- oe : s — 2 SALES. ‘Washer Ice Cream PALM ICE CREAM at the new price per brick of Ice Cream ~ Soft.

What Canadians have done before, was less than nine millions in 1918 and 1919. Yet in November, 1918; our people invested $616,000,000 in Victory Bonds. later, in October, 1919, they invested $572,000,000. The total subscribed for Victory Bonds in those two loans was $1,188,000,000.
