T h e Dominion Government’s, ace hombadier, the Hon. James Gardiner, has dropped another big one on the Canadian farmer by announcing a 5-cent a pound cut In the floor price for butter. This is the third block-buster dropped by Mr, Gardner- since early last tall and all have land­ ed squarely in the lap of the agricultural producer. Both hog and poultry produc­ ers received a terrific jolt when egg prices dropped to as low as 25$ per dozen fox1 A large and pork prices sagged to around $25 per hundred for top quality, After a considerable loss had. been sustained and many pro­ test meeting were held, the gov­ ernment made a half hazard attempt to relieve the situation by placing floor prices on both eggs and pork. Since that time eggs have climbed to something' resembling a reasonable price, while hog price has been as un­ stable as a cork in the ocean. The price will climb to $28 per cwt. and then drop back to $26 per cwt. and climb again for a week or .so only to take an­ other tumble. Manipulation by the buyers is the only logical reason for this unsteadiness, The cause for the present price of butter can be laid at the door of the Provincial De­ partment of -Agriculture. In two provinces we have margarine banned and there is no butter problem there. .If two provinces can ban the sale of margarine what is to hinder the others from doing- likewise? Before the introduction of margarine we had a shortage of butter and in a very little ovei* a year we find the government holding a sur­ plus of around 2,000,000 pounds. How can we expect our dairy farmers to adjust themselves to such a rapid -change of markets. Milk cows ,are not like a water tap: you cannot’ shut them off and go away and leave them. The normal lactation period for a good cow is around - ten months so a -farmer with a herd of fresh cows in March or April will drop several dollars per week from the price he received last year foi' his -cream. Mr. Robert McCubbin, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, in a speech at Clinton, Ont., less than a month ago, stressed the fact that our foundation stock is be­ ing depleted and that farmers should keep more cows to raise more young cattle for our ex­ port market. Most farmers rely on a cow to produce milk as well as raise' a calf. If one part of this dual Income is cut off, the other part will probably suf­ fer also. If we have to produce butter at a loss or at starvation wages then, you will see the foundation stock depleted even more than in the last two years, and our supply of beef will dwindle in the next few years instead of increase as Mr. Mc­ Cubbin hoped it would. The drop in farm income comes at a time when we find labour still demanding higher wages, shorter hours and social securities. We have been ' sym­ pathetic toward labour's fight for a better standard of« living but at the present time it is be­ ginning to reach a point where every concession labour gains adds to the burden on the farm­ er, As yet we have not had a strong enough union among farm people to enforce our demands, The Federation made recommen­ dations to our Dominion Govern­ ment that the prices be as fol­ lows; $36 per cwt. for Wiltshire sided at seaboard, 30c per pound for cheese instead of the 28$ now paid, eggs to receive a sup­ port price of 42$ instead of the '38$ now paid, and butter to re­ main at 58$ instead of the 52$ now offered. In not one of these cases did the government accept the recommendation of the Fed­ eration. If this had been a lab­ our union we wo did today be facing a nation-wide strike that would be tying up the food sup­ ply of the entire Dominion, and at once the government would call a negotiating committee to discuss the -grievance. Until such a time as we can put teeth in oux* organization, we cannot hope to negotiate on a pax* with other organizations, including the government. Bi—... ...-.............-..-----..—....

Read them for bargains. Substituting a bucket for old bossy, at weaning time, usually sets the stage for a barnyard rodeo. The meekest little calf sees red when he’s faced with a pail—bucks ana bawls like a wild steer. No wonder farm boys dislike playing foster mother to a stubborn calf. It is one of the few tasks that are just as difficult and disagreeable as they were in grandpa’s day. A mechanical calf weaner may remain a dream of weary farm boys, but modern power machinery has already revolutionized most other farm jobs* This equipment saves much of the muscle work that farming used to require, and steals hours from the clock that can be.invested in other projects or spent with the family, It reduces the weather hazard, cuts production costs—helps to make farming a more stable and profitable business. No wonder so many farm boys are sticking with the land rather than seeking their fortunes in the city. They are dis­ covering first-hand that the farm offers opportunities for profit and a satisfying way of life that few jobs in town can match. Yes, modern John Deere power equipment is doing a lot to keep our ambitious boys and girls on the farm where their leadership can. help to realize our dream of a more productive agriculture, a stronger America, and a better world. W. G. Simmons & Sons EXETER GODERICH Wildcats are risky To an oil man a "wildcat” is a well drilled in an area where Oil has never been found. Drilling a wildcat is a risky undertaking on4 a costly One, Some wells have cost more than a million dollars—-and have not been successful. For that reason oil men make as certain as they can, before drilling, that there is a good chance of finding oil. They use the most modem instruments and skills to locate each drilling site; but still the odds Ore 20 to one against them. Only about one wildcat in 20 becomes a producer. Over the past 30 years oil men have worked continuously against these odds. In western Canada Imperial alone drilled -34 wells— all dry—before the Leduc field Was discovered In 1947. But the end result has been new oil for Canada and. benefits tor Canadians. There are thousands of new jobs. Millions of U.S. dollars are being saved as the need tor imported oil lessens. And, as another natural resource moves toward full development, the Canadian standard of living climbs higher. These axe real benefits to Canadians and they will increase as more oil is found. But to find mote oil and to spread the advantages It brings, oilmen must continue to Work against long odds. Sometimes a job that must be done can’t be done Without great risks. Bringing you oil is a big job i«. and a costly one About Canada’s Oil-—Canada’s proven oil reserves now amount to about one billion barrels, as compared with only 72 million bdtrels in 1946, It Is estimated the oil industry Will Spend $150 millions lot exploration and. development in western Canada this year. Last year Imperial drilled or shared In the drilling of 70 wildcat Wells. Wells drilled by Imperial to find, and produce oil in Canada during 1949 totalled 231 miles In depth.
