of laying hens to be kept in 1942
were also indicated. 80 . per cent of
the farmers indicated their inten-
tion to

and eggs as they did in 1941. There

of 1719 reporting there were 411

Mr. J. A. Carroll, director of Ag-
ricultural Societies, representing the
Provincial Dept. of Agriculture, ad-
dressed the meeting. .The survey
showed conditions very -similar to
other counties. He said the time for
thinking of self was 'past. Full co-
operation is needed from the Bruce
County farmer, to win the titanic
struggle we are in. 'It is a battle
between production by dictatorship
and that by democracy, and it be-
hooves us as farmers in Ontario to
exercise that self discipline neces-
sary to produce to the maximum.
Mr. Carroll advised againkst depen-
ding upon western grain to feed the
extra stock to be kept and advised
us to grow as much of .our own
grains as possible. In connection
with available labor he stated •that
the farmer could not expect to get
help back from the munition fac-
tories or war industries. Our bat-
tles so far have •been lost through
lack of equipment and it is• neves-'
eery to produce as much munitions
as possible. The most likely source
of extra help will be from High
School students and urban workers.
Maximum ,production from Bruce
County shld be the responsibility
