CANADA'S NUMBER ONE. INDUSTRY
O
Greatest ,Single Enterprise In Can- TALK ABOUT MIRACLES
ada, Failure to Recognize ,the Fact
is largely Responsible for Vncer- Word has reached Hensel of the
tainty and Doubt. .Contentment
and Stability come from Just
Treatment.
By W. E. HASKINS
Secretary,Canadian Federation of
Agriculture.
The 'greatest single industry in
Canada is agriculture; and --Canada's
greatest single mistalie is that it
does not recognize this fact.,
It is not the purpose of this• article
too present . a factual and statistical
picture of agriculture as an industry.
A few statements will. suffice:
The value°of farm capital in Can-
ada at June 1, 1941, •totalled $4,689,-
'656,01)0, The gross value. of agricul-'
tural production in Canada in 81941
was ,$1,379;386;000. More than . half
`of the people in Canada 'are either
engagedin agriculture ordirectly
dependent upon agriculture for their
spending power.
Need Clear Thinking `.
If we are to consider what place
agriculture should rightfully occupy
in the economicstructure of Canada;
we must brush away the 'cobwebs
from. our and divorce our-
selves.from traditional concepts. We
must correct that subconscious pic-
ture of the farmer as a serf or un-
educated peasant, handed down thru
generations from medival times.
These ••conceptions of the farmer,
r t eking
to our minds, and distort ou
inherited from earlier times,
bink,;
g
in
Canada is funds entally. an agri-
cultural country andthe problem of
determining agriculture's place in
her economy is therefore a national
problem.
We still fail to think. nationally
and- mistakenly divide ourselves in-
to four basic groups — industry,
commerce, labor and agriculture.
Even accepting -these .group .class-
ifications, ,we must • realize that the
'solution of the problem is not the
responsibility of agriculture . alone
but -affects -eachoi_the other.,grenps;
and seen fromeven: the .point of
view of selfish interest they must
lend their support to agriculture in
HS • effort's to maintain a proper liv-
ing
iving standard, if they are themselves
to prosper.,
There are those who; believe that
every thought and effort should be
directed to the sole purpose of win-
ning the war, and they would have
no discussion of post-war conditions.
They do not recognize ;.that it is
essential ;to the morale, not only of
the civilian population in our own
and the devastedcourtriea,but to
the spirit of the armed forces as
well, to discuss. what we Are fighting
for, and what we hope to do with
the peace when it comes.
The farmers of. Canada have bent
their backs and make equal sacri-
fices with others in a direct war
effort, with a steadily , growing
shortage of labor 'and farm .:mach-
inery. Despite an over-all reduction'
in the male, farm labor supply since
the beginning of January, .1940 of
18,2 per cent or 204,763 persons, the
farmers of Canada have produced an
astonishing increase of foodstuffs
GARDEN GROWN TOMATOES
GOOD BET FOR CHRISTMAS
IF PROPERLY STORED NOW
It . is possible to have . garden
grown tomatoes for Christmas says
the .Dominion Department of Agri-
cultur
e: The tomatoes must be pick-
ed in a mature, green condition be-
fore they . suffer injury ?from 'frost.
Store only thoroughly dry, clean
tomatoes that are free from cracks,
skin ,punctures or insect injury.
Wrap'each. tomatoe separately in
paper, newspaper will do, and place
in shallow closed boxes or in draw.
ers. Keep in a cool pantryor store=
room where the temperature can be
maintained at about 50 degrees. The
use of small containers .simplifies
the sorting of the tomatoes during
ripening. .
Another method is to pull the vine
before there is any sign of frost in-
jury and hangthe entire .vine from
the ceiling of the store room; the
advantage of this method being that
ripening can • be observed without
thenecessity of handling the .tom-
atoess. A' temperature of 50 degrees
is best for this method too.

PRESBYTERIAL MEETING HELD
IN ,WINGHAM LAST WEEK
Tt hasaisOor'br0.:ght .the -fixed price.
policy as a method of curbing or
:preventing inflation. The farmers of
Canada support theprinciple of
price. control --but .they- believe it
must be flexible , and' permit of ad-
justments where justice demands:
Labor enters into the cost of farm
production as • it does in any in-
dustry, and farm • .labor costs have
'risen steadily.during the war period
and are still, rising. The monthly
wages of hired help for ' all Canada
showed an increase of 22.5 per cent
fromthe winter of 1941 tothe win-
ter of 1942. A fixed return is not
compatible witha rising cost of pro-
duction. One remedy lies in, sub-
sidies . paid to farmers. • -
It should be more thoroughly un-
derstood that a subsidy paid to .en-.
able a farmer to continue: production
is not a gift froma generous and
benignant. Government, but a meth-
od of maintaining • the fixed price
policy so that . the consumer -may
continue to purchase at a , lower
price than the cost of production
would justify. For the most part
subsidies are for the benefit of the
consumer rather than the farmer.
The Maitland Presbyterial Society
of the W,M.S. of the Presbyterian
church in Canada, held a most suc-
cessful rally in St. Andrew's •hurch,
Wingham, on Wednesday;' .Septenr-
ber 16th: Allthe auxiliaries were
represented except Molesworth,
Gerrie, Calvin and Lorne. ,.
'Mrs. F. G. Fourier, Bluevale, pre-
sided. and opened the meeting with
the "Call to, Worship". Members of
the Brussels Auxiliary had charge
of the worship period. The Scripture
lesson' was read and • explained by
Mrs. •'Walters Scott -and'. Mrs: John
Meadows offered prayer. In a few
well-chosen words Mrs. W. J. Hen-
derson welcomed .the. auxiliaries to
Wingham. A brief reportfrom each
auxiliary was helpful. Ideas were
exchanged on programs, different
booksfor study and discussion and
methods used for raising allocations.
Miss Freida Matthews, Field Sec-
retary for the W.M.S. of the Pres-
byterian • church in Canada was. the
guest speaker. She mentioned the
many changes that have taken place
in - W.M.S. work due to the war, and

few of the things, that the Society

by asking "Are • we worthy of Vict-
ory if ,we fail to keep on with Mis-
"sions inCanada?" _
A question - drawer dealing with
some of the difficult problemsof
the different departments was con-
ducted by Miss Matthewsand good
discussions 'followed. The closing
message was given by the Presby-
terial. president,.. Mrs. R. Davidson,
and was an appeal for more earnest
prayer and a re -dedication of our-
selves to God's work -and the carry-
ing out of our motto, "The world
for Christ". Mrs. William Kennedy
of Wingham contributed a solo: Miss
Barbara Fortune dedicated the of-
fering with prayer and the closing
prayer was offered by, Mrs. Leslie
Fortune. Mrs. Kenneth MacLean
presided at the organ. At the close
of the meeting lunch was .served and
a social time enjoyed.
NET PROCEEDS of the Wingham
Lions Club carnival amounted to
$860.
Post War Facts -
The problems of post-war, farming
in Canada will be tremendous. What
markets will absorb the 6/ million
and our* Allies. ,
War creates abnormal markets, so
if we are to assess agriculture's pos-
ition we must consider, not its pres-
ent, but its pre=war, position. In-
dustry is; o; should be, interested in
the farmer and those dependent up-
on him for their spending power as
potential customers, Only if they are
prdsperous can industry, commerce
and labor hope to prosper. They
shouldtherefgrebe concerned to
'learn that in the eleven years. 1930-
40 the average cash income per farm
fainily, was $329:00 per year. Some
customer!
Because the price of some food-
stuffs is much higher than it was in
that period city:,.people,._ini5takenl-y
believe that the' war has' brought
prosperity to faimers. Even; iihder
war conditions the average cash in-
come of Canadian farmers is only
about $1,200` per farm family, with
all the •members of'the family per-
forming some farm labor..
While most people are thinking in
terms of a post-war new world or-
der, based 1 upon a spirit of justice
and co-operfatien, • there are still
people in high places, and .those
who influence Governments and
public opinion, whose ideas of post-
war effort are not ideas of recon-
struction but of re -obstruction. They
sum up their selfish and deadening
outlook in the phrase '"A return to
normalcy". Their line of thought
leads directly" to the bread -line and
-t'1fe hobo jungles. Fortunately though
they ate powerful they' are a small
minority.
periodThe has pass-
ed. Except asr an example of . how
not to live We may ignore its prob-
lems.
Troubles Worry
The war has brought its own pro -
which the farmers of Canada are
producing as a war effort?
What .nbers of new settlers can
be absorbed: into agriculture with-
out ruin, to those now engaged in
that occupation and to themselves?
How can the increased production
made.possible by mechanical inven-
tion, and by scientific discovery, be
utilized instead of • creating the
nightmare of undistributed surplus-
es? Will the blessings of abundance
bring ruin to farmers?
• Shall 'one-sixth of our population
subsist on an inadequate nutritional
diet while fruit rots on the .trees.
and flocks and herds' are reduced?
These are some of the many pro
-blems-which -confront-Canada_in_the,
settlement df • a post-war economy.
There are, those who Ielieve that
the post-war period should bring a
relinquishing " of the present con-
trols as rapidly. as possible, their
ideal being a complete absence of
governmental control over industry.
The Canadian •Federation of Ag-
riculture, representing • 450,000 or-
ganized ' .fanners,.' believes that the
tremendous problems of post-war
settlement cannon be successfully
solved without definite planning,
with its corollary of control They
recognize the dangers of bureau-'
cracy, but believe that the mistakes
of a planned economy` will be fewer
and less painful than the jungle law

disastrous booms and depressions
which result from the uncontrolled
or unregulated law of supply and

riculture mint joie hands, recogniz-
ing them as'matters of national and
not of group; interest.

A STATEMENT TO PHONE 7 ,
USERS FROM THE nosmrsiv
From the outbreak of the War
teelphone calls; both local ,and long .
distance, have 'increased steadily.
To meet the situation we have add-'
ed greatly. to our telephone plant- ..
Today more calls are being made
than ever, before_ Inthe boom days
of •1929-30 we handled a peak of '
5,200,000 local calls a day. Now they
average 6,600,004 , a day. Long Dis,.
tance calls then reached 70,000 ,' a
day; now they exceed 83,00.11 _... ..
Telephone facilities cannotbe fur-
ther expanded to take care of this
ever-growing voluine .of calls. The
materials that build telephone plant
—copper, rubber, aluminum,' zine—
are no . longer available. They are
needed for war purposes.
• .There 'is but one .answer:. Use of
the telephone; both - local and Log
Distance, should be confined, to, calls,
that are ; absolutely necessary.,, and
even • essential calls •• should be as
brief as possible.
That ." is the only. way in . which
the 'mounting' volume of necessary
calls can be handled by a telephone-.
• system which . cannot grow.
I . am confident that the . telephone -
using public will co-operate fully in
order ti. that our facilities may • be
equal to the ever-growing require-
ments of a nation at war,
