He’s on top of the world in a business way, He's improving his .fields, his buildings and his herds against the day of the new normalcy. Meanwhile his bank account is growing. ***** *** 'The Exeter and Us'borne members of the Order of Occult and Herbivorous and'Mystic Groundhogs are ^petitioning the county , fathers to -provide them and their families with gag masks. Mem bers of this industrious order are sharpening their -claws foi* the farmers who are pumping poisonous fumes into, their humble dwell ings. “Why? they ask, should we escape the perils of winter/con struct our dwellings and manufacture ne>w summer clothing only to be destroyedfby.a gas attack,?” * * * * * I THOSE ORCHARDS Plain things are beinigl said about the Canadian fruit offered, on the forei-g|u market. -So inferior is it that the foreign buyer does not even ask for it. 'This is a bitter dose for all whq are in terested in Canadian prosperity, particularly for those who seek tlid welfare of the Canadian farmer. The reasons for this lack of interest in the produces of the Canadian orchards are 'perfectly well known. 1 <• It would •> come in very handy next fall if every farmer , in Huron were to talk'e in three hundred dollars for his apples. Some years ago wb knew of one farmer who one autumn cashed a cheque for $1,000 for apples alone. Everyone knows how the apple trade may be recovered but no one seems practically interested in recap ture. Before now a well kept orchard has been the means of lift ing the mortgage from the farm. ******** THEN^AND NOW EVer so -often we hear folk talking about how well the .farm ers of the old, times did, . Let -us see. The pioneer got his farm for very little. As he went on, his fuel?was free for the cutting. His house and furniture wre- free for the building. His barn was his for the- erection. His first /implements for putting in the seed were his for the cost of the heavy hoe and the eleven-toothed, triangular harrow—-the only Cost being the work of the blacksmith. His fences consisted of' logs or brush. His hogs lived on beechnuts and throve ap’d got fat. His cows found their livinigj in the woods. His oxen .required only yoke and chain and homemade wooden jumper for equipment. Tha swamp furnished him with winter fodder; Now? The horses with expensive harness, or tractor! Now he must buy plows and cultivators and sender and harrows and pul verizer Now the binder and mower and hay-loader and sliding rack and the foiik's and slings 'and the expensive-thresher are es-^ sential. Besides wire fences and barns costing nearly $4,000 and houses that d^e mansions by comparison with the older days. The- pioneer’s taxes were very smill. The bill for taxes now amounts to a rent. Then we have the hydro and the radio and rural free z delivery and the telephone, all of which cost money but which must be had q.r oiie- is not regarded as progressive, "s .> ■> • x . .AYe-^'tl'iereF-arb some *ol’df people Who believe that the pioneers were lia-ppy.
