CARL HEMINGWAY I suppose that by the time this gets into print the spring grain will all 'be planted and most of the corn as well. The beans will follow quickly. Then we can fix the fences that we patched up in a hurry to get the cattle out of the way for' seeding and the other repair work that seems to be an annual job on the farm. Whenllookback over the newly sown fields, without a blade of any kind showing, I am always awed by the faith of those who till the soil. I wonder how many millions of dollars, in seed and fertilizer, they calmly bury in the damp cold ground year after year? — and all this because of a promise made hundreds of years ago — "While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest — shall not cease." Gen. 8:22. I wonder if there are any "atheist" farmers? Seedtime and harvest are fine even though we do have better and poorer crops we seem to miss crop failure. Most of us are not interested in crop insurance. We can he a bit cynical when it comes to returns, Just the last few days we have been hearing news reports of the wonderful sales of grain, export of 850 million bushels this year and prospects of surpassing the billion bushel mark next year — that is if shipping can become as efficient at moving grain as farmers are at growing it. This improved productivity of farmers gives them hopes of improved income. Farmers seem to think this is the way it should be yet many other groups, with their annual increment, get an increase in income simply by getting a year older. Not much wonder we're known ,,,as "dumb farmers." ' However we do get some good publicity. They tell us that net farm income is up 25 per cent? Most of the increase came in areas west of Ontario so itdidn't help my feelings much. Saskatchewan led the way with an increase of 100 percent. Wonderful, but remember twice nothing is still nothing and twice very little still isn't much. I doubt that farmers can match the $6.00 per hour that some carpenter's were getting before they went out on strike, Ah well! It looks as if we will have another good crop which I'm sure will make farmers feel happy. Let's hope that some of our produce finds its way to some of the half billion, that FAO reports, live in chronic hunger. BUY•SEILIIENT•HIRE...
