much is 'heard abeut post-war Plannirik,' 'ace,
much so that it •eies with the weather as a
topic of conversation, and some of it not much
More weighty. - • ' •
But nevertheless there must •be 'past -war
planning if utter confusion is to be avoided M
that period of adjustment and rehabilitation
• 'following the. war. •
, • Hugh MacDiarmid of the Port Elgin Times.
• has 'outlineda five -point program, as he sees
• it, for pest -war planning in Bruce Caunty.
What we like about it particularly, is its lirri-
itation te 5 points. Governments seeking power
have their twenty and thirty -point programs;
that are so vote -catching airibitious as to be
almost impossible to implement. ••
•- This Bruce County program could na doubt
•
. ibe; enlarged many :times. over, but the ,five
points pretty ..initch take care of the economic
well-being of the County, on which hinges the-
succes§ of any other plan in. a more extensive,
program
- Mr.: macDiarmid suggests that- T3:ruee.,Coun-
ty Cotincil sliould appoint a ,GeFieral Cornmit-
tee of thirty-twe people, representing each
muniCipality in the county: This': cormnittee

QUANTITY AND QUALITY
Despite the onslaughts >of UritaVorable wee-
. ther .and plant diseases and Pests, and a short-
age of shock -troops in the field, the farmers of
Canada have completed a remarkably good
*campaign on the agrictiltural, front during the
'season of 1943. The Monthly Letter of The
Royal !Sank 'of Cina-ria. for October- 1943 -points
out that although conditions do net compare
• with those of. the , preceding season and the
—record; yields Of many preps were not eqUalled,
production On the whole has been satisfaciorn
• viewed from a nationrveide .survey.
The *Canadian carry9,:rer of:wheat at the.
, beginning' et , the present crop year was 601
million bushels, making the total supply avail-
able for.the'1943-44 crop year 870 niillieri.'bUsh-
els. It is anticipated that larger einantities than
usual are being used for feed and Canadian
consumption of wheat in the crop year is es-
timated at 170 million bushels, compared -With'
normal local •consumption of ,1:00,•million.
The Ainpressive record. of livestock pro,..
duction in Canada is indicated by 'the situation
in regard to bacon and dth-e-r-liork-iiroducts. "
Canadiari farmers are this year supplying Gt.
Britain With 85 per cent 9f its bacon require-
ments, while prior to the war Canada rarely
supplied mere than 20' per Ont. Since 19.39
Canada ha S exported to Great Britain over two:
billion pounds of bacon and other pork pro-
- ducts, an arribunt in excess. of our total baCen
and.Pork exports ,during the 20. years, 1:919 te
