33 minutes?
Well, that was true for the average
Canadian back in 1939. 29 minutes?
You're right if you're thinking
about prices in 1946.
16 minutes?
Correct. According to government
figures, that's how long it takes an.
average Canadian today to , earn the
price of a gallon of gasoline.
On the score of performance, you're
getting an even bigger bargain. For

Ibis seems to be a bad Year
for farmers, Crops have been
good, generally, in southern Oat-
arid but prices in everything but
hogs has been lower. It seems
to rrie,that there must be some-
thing that could be done to am
prove the situation, Perhaps if
'we study the facts we roan Lir-
.rive at a solution,
I was talking tot a vegetable
,grower near Leamington. He
told me that potato,ea were only
'worth 50 cents a bag which was,
:n't covering .,,the cost of digging
.and handling. One farmer with
20 acres was leaving the potatoes
in the ground,
Yesterday I bought a bag of
potatoes at a, local grocery- store
and paid a $1,50 for a 75 pound
bag, Surely the handlers don't
'deserve .twice twice as much as
the fanner gets for growing the
potatoes,
Egg prices have been fair re-
cently for A large but with the
.amount of eggs in storage and
:a 4 percent increase ih current
production ,it is likely that eggs
'will be resting on the floor all
'winter. Since the laying. flocks

ant that we keep the quality
high, One egg-grader was. tel-
ling me recently that egg quality
has been down seriously, You
farmers know the reasena not
gathering often enough; not Plac-
ing the eggs in a cool place; not
keel:411g nests and floors., clean,
It is discouraging to be getting
such low prices but grade B is
a let lower. Also if we hope to
export we can only do so by pro,
clueing top quality.
The same can be applied to
hogs, The production is going
up but again, for the best quality
there' is .a considerable export
market. If we produce top qual-
ity we can have this badly need-
ed market,
.Beef might be compared to the
potatoes. The price to the farm-
er ,has been low yet the -reason
doesn't seem clear. In recent
weeks the number, of cattle on
the market has been smaller than
last 'year and we have been ex-
Parting some 3000 head of slaugh-
ter cattle to the U.S, each week.
Last year we were net importers
of beef to the extent of 55,000,
head. This year we will be net'
exporters of a larger number and
with .fewer cattle on the market
the price has dropped 2 or 3
dollars a ewt, The law of sup-
ply and demand doesn't seem to
be in force.
What is the answer? Market,
inigaaigericies like hogs, peaches,
or white beans? GOVernment
support like egg or butter? Con-
trolled -preduation like the tobac-
co? Or - shall we all sit back.
