Crop Values Down In 1949 Gross value of pricinpal field crops produced on Canadian farms in 1949 is estimated at 1,427 million dollars, down. 16 per cent from last year’s record of 1,696 million, according to the first estimate of the Domin­ ion Bureau of Statistics. The gross value of Canada’s 1949 field crops is the fifth highest in history being exceeded only in the years, 1919, 1920, 1947,.and 1948. It should be noted, too, that anticipated participation payments on western wheat, oats and barley will place this year’s crop at a higher level than is currently indicated. Lower prices and reduced pro­ duction of most crops are joint causes of the reduction in value of field crops from the 1'948 level. Only for fodder crops and field roots (turnips, .mangels, etc.) are average farm prices for all Canada for the first four months of this crop year above the 1948-49 average—'although in some provinces prices for cer­ tain other crops are higher than last year. Declines in prices and production of wheat, oats, bar­ ley, rye and flax were alone re­ sponsible for a, total drop in value from 19 4 8 of 237 million dollars. By individual grains the decreases are roughly: wheat 56 million; oats 53 million; barley 47 million; rye 21 million; and flaxseed 60 million dollars. As indicated above, however, par­ ticipation payments on the first three grains may be expected to reduce these differences. Despite the lowered value of 1949 field crops the current level i s still 230' per cent above the low point of 432 .million dollars reached in 1931. It is also of interest that the farm value of this year’s crops is just slightly above that recorded in 1946, the first full post-war year.

It ,is recorded that, while liv­ ing in Kirkton, Timothy Eaton attended revival meetings there, became converted and until tlie end of his life remained a pillar in .the work of the Methodist Church. The Eaton brothers later mov­ ed to St. Marys where they also carried on a merchandising busi­ ness. Finally, Timothy Eaton re­ moved to Toronto, in 1869, and opened a store at 178 Yonge St., which has since grown into the great mercantile emporium that still bears his name. He died in 1907, in Toronto. We might add that his birth­ place had been at Clogher, near Ballymena, County Antrim, Ire­ land. Kirkton’s next building (fol­ lowing Eaton’s store) was a small brick cottage on lot eight, west boundary, Blanshard, built in 1857 by a man named Neelon. He also opened a store and was the only merchant, Mr. Eaton having removed to ,St. Marys. Neelon’s building was later re­ modeled and used as a hotel. Then it was torn down and re­ placed by a large brick structure erected by Mr. Taylor. Eastward from the hotel stood a log house occupied by a shoemaker, on the site of which the brick building of Roadhouse & Brown was eventually built. Still further east, John Callander had put up the first blacksmith shop. Early in the lS60’s, a new frame store was built by Robert Currie on the site of the dwell­ ing which later stood north of the Shier <& Marshall store. John McCurdy served Kirkton both as postmaster and mer­ chant for years. J. G. Shoebottom kept hotel there and Johnston Stacey operated the lime ■works, at one time. A half century ago, the late William Johnston wrote of Kirk­ ton, as follows: "The progress of the village was retarded for sev­ eral years by the propietor of lot 9, on which is now built a large portion of the village. In IS59 he had cleared that corner of his I farm, but persistently refused to I sell any part of ,it for building purposes; and it was not until I the place came into Mr. Doupe’s possession that any great pro­ gress was made. Mr. Alexander ?Kirk had made a survey into lots ' of part of No. 8, and was fol­lowed soon after by Mr. Doupe’s ; survey of No. 99. The action of » these two gentlemen gave an im­ petus to building operations which has continued, with some intermissions, ever since.” The population was estimated as 200, at the turn tury.
