In livestock plans for 1942 showed slight increases •iii cattle, bol' beef anddairy, as well as hogs to be marketed. Increases in the number of laying hens to be kept in 1942 were also indicated. 80 . per cent of the farmers indicated their inten- tion to ntention.to produce as much bacon, milk and eggs as they did in 1941. There will be • a slight increase in wheat, spring grains 'arid hay over 1941. Out of 1719 reporting there were 411 tractors, 16 combines and 30 milk- ing machines. 576 will require new machinery and 727 will require re- pairs. There is an average of 3 cream trucks and on • to two bread trucks passing the°- average farm in the county. 23 per cent of the farmers have hydro at present and an ad- ditional 33 per cent - would like to install it. 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 -of the urban , people as well as the rs to 30 years of age now farmer.
