Farmers in this section have
been planting corn. This was about
three weeks earlier than usual. 1t
is explained that February and
March had such moderate weather
that it was possible to prepare the
ground for planting much earlier
than usual. The planting season
was well under way until the cold
spell arrived, and nothing further
will be done until the weather
moderates to suit the farmers and
gardeners. The garden crops were
growing fine but the present low
temperature will retard the growth
of all vegetation considerably.
Some local gardeners have string
beans and oother vegetables max
ing fine headway. Tomato plants
have withstood the cold spell re-
markably well so far.

The Higher Wall.
lBoston News Rureaul


 Numerous and substantial bricks are being added to the tariff wall along northern border The addition from the Canadian side; but the initial blueprint from ours
 Some dreamers about manifest destiny have in the past visioned continent wherein trade would someday flow as freely as it now does within our own 360O000 square miles. Other more moderate visionaries had ideas some years since-that were not without some popularity hereabouts-concerning reciprocity" between the United States and Canada. That vision is dinner and more remote than ever.
 From two angles of course, the tariff revision embodied in the Canadian budget address is not wholly surprising. The Conservatives who have regained power up north have always leaned more toward high duties than to free trade and they campaigned on that plank, with support from home industriasts Also Canada needs much reve- nue, with her total deficit of $75000,000 beside a special 196 excise tax on imports and increases tax sales taxes and postage rates to three cents there is resort to tariff for revenue" But considering its slant toward us, it can't be called tariff for revenue only"
 There is evident a plain determination, in the number and character of altered duties, to lessen their imports from us, while coaxing our capital to cross the line and become virtually Canadian new boost is given to the branch plant" program Likewise an impetus is supplied for further flow of Yankee money northward-apart from the prohbi- ton stimulus-by the light tax on income from non- residents investments in the Dominion. And with all that goes a pretty clear measure of retaliation
 Levies increased upon numerous agricultural products of farm states-a game that apparent ly two play The duties are raised on autos on an upward scale Protection subsidy is giv- en for native coal from either extreme eastern or extreme western Canada against our mines. Du- ties are raised certain steel manufactures, but are lowered semi mi-manufactured steel items that might be further handled in Canadian plants. Miscellaneous lists tell the same story.
 It may be true enough that Washington feels relieved that the case isn't worse, and of ad- rnts that We can't complain unless seems un- likely there is clear discrimination. Also however, there s and has to be, admission that the net result may have serious effect of former export items-in trade with what used to be best GUS toner. But we keep the credit for the pattern.

ELKS TO FACE
 SUPREME TEST
 THIS EVENING
Must Win from Moose in Order to Be Assured
 Winning First Half

The Bills, who are leading the City League race for first half honors by the slenderest of mar gins-one- game-face the su- preme test tonight in their game with the Moose, who are in second place. If the Elks win tonight they are assured of the first half cham pionship and the right to enter the play-off series at the end of the second half.
 If they lose, the Moose will lead them by a half-game. Tonight's game is the last for the Elks on the opening half. The Moose and Vets have to wind up the schedule Friday If the Moose win tonight and lose Friday. they will be tied with the Bills for first place.
 Manning, who hurled three inn ings last night and was credited with the game, will start for the Elks with his old batterymate, Bob by Coughlin doing the catching. Manager McKinnon of the Moose has picked AZ Osborne for mound duty tonight and is saving Erskine until Friday. However, if the Bills keep up their slugging, he may have to call in his star to check them.
 The game will start as usual at 6.30 pm. The City Band will be on hand for special concert.

 Some timid people, black with despair, have lost faith in our American system. They demand abrupt and positive change. Others have seized upon the opportunities of discontent to agitate for the adoption of economic patent medicines from foreign lands Others have indomitable confidence that by some legerdeman we can legislate ourselves out of a worldwide depression. Such views as are accurate as the belief we can exercise a Caribbean hurricane by sta tutory law.
 For instance nothing can be gained in recovery of employment by detouring capital away from industry and commerce into the Treasury of the United States, either by Government can create more employment by use of these funds than can industry and commerce itself
 While I am a strong advocate of expan- sion of useful public works in hard times and we have trebled our Federal expenditure in aid to unemployment yet there are liml- tations upon the application of this princi- pile Not only must we refrain from rob- ping industry and commerce of it's capital, and thereby increasing unemployment, but such works require long engineering and le- endowment Above all, schemes of public works which have no reproductive value would result in sheer waste. The remedy to economic depression is not waste, but the creation and distribution of wealth.

 England Proposed

 More than 70 per cent of those contributing to the symposium be- lieved the salient step was to hold actual lay-offs to a minimum and substitute the elimination of over time and the reduction of weekly hours.
 The four other suggestions were:
 1.-Firms should merchandise ag- gressively by developing new prod ucts to meet now or changing needs.
