Probably at uo time in the history
of Canada has the importance of
food production been so manifest to
ail the people as in this year 1943.
This thought is the keynote of the
reports from several branch Insti

tries, ■
In our Canadian
World WUr, No, a certain amount 1
of assistance and service was given
to those engaged in agriculture by
the Department of Agriculture of the
Dominion and of the several Provin
ces through Agriculture Colleges,
experimental farms and the exten
sive bulletin service emanating
therefrom, as well as the service ren
dered by County Agriculture Repre
sentatives, under the Provincial De
partment of Agriculture.
Unfortunately these services were
only concerned with improving the
efficiency of farming methods, with
the sole end in view of increasing
production. Farmers were taught
how two blades of grass could be
made to grow where one grew be
fore, but no provision was made for
disposing of the surplus thus produc
ed, The result of a neglected farm
economy led to deplorably low prices
for agricultural products during the
depression of the early 1930’s. Every
person in Canada accepted the fact
that we had surpluses of food and
that scarcity would never come in
Canada. When the war broke in 1939
this attitude prevailed generally, ev
en in government circles. With the
industrial expansion made necessary. by the new war, into which we were!
unexpectedly and unpreparedly plun
ged, good wages were offered to men
who had been having a tough time
on the land and they left the land to
work elsewhere by thousands, across

and shipped in powder form, that
quantities heretofore undreamed of
are being shipped to this one mar
ket alone. In addition, we have our
large force of service men to feed
properly. More ships are calling at
Canadian ports these days than ever
before and these have to be provi
sioned, and in addition more people
are working in Canada now than
ever before, and therefore, not only
require more food but have more
money with which to purchase it.
Our Government gives assurance
that all food quotas to Britain Will
be .filled, and that if insufficient food
is produced, that Canadians are the
ones who will go without. Rationing
of commodities produced on Cana
dian farms is now upon us and soon
more commodities will be in
tiond list. Surpluses which
headache to farmers and to
ments five years ago have

food shortages occur, they

To win the war and, more important,
to win the peace, the same spirit of
sacrifice must rule the lives of every
man and women in Canadian civilian
life. Economists claim that a com
plete victory can only be won by the
combined efforts of all, not only on
the production line of our factories
and farms, but by conserving and
saving ip consumption; in other
words, we must work and save and
plan foi* the future.
Some of us may find it impos
sible to assist in production; to you,
the challenge is to accept in full the
sacrifices necessary on the home con
sumption front. Whatever may be
saved by each of us ladies in the’
-way of food, is part of our contri
bution to Victory. Please remembei*
this: food shortages will not end
when the war ends. If the United
Nations are to win the Peace follow-
lowing the War, t-he people vof the
North American Continent must ,be
prepared, to feed the starving mul
