Down to Earth By D. I. HOOPER Large Or Small? An editorial in the "Country Guide” stated that the family farm is and still will be the back bone of agriculture. In this we heartily concur. The 10'0- acre unit today is not .perhaps the most ideal in this age of mechani zation, but it suits many people, who although they growl and gripe, are -perhaps the most well- fed, contended people in the world. True, they are not rich in dol lars and cents (a mere measure) but they are rich in living. They raise the healthiest families, many of whom when they com plete their formal education go on to become leaders in our gov ernment, in our industry,^ our armed services and other fields. A leading agricultural econo mist recently made the statement that agricultural economy of Ont ario would be better if some in efficient farmers were to .close up shop and go into industry as a salaried worker. In theory, on paper, this may be true economically, but there is one thing he forgot or at least failed to mention—The Human Factor. The economist who made this statement is a friend of ours and while he made this forth right statement we do not be lieve he was unaware of this fac tor. Again to mention those neces sary evils, dollars and cents, the farmers cited are not making a fortune but maybe their lives are so rich with friends and living that a higher scale of living with out them would be nothing but an empty shell. . Today neighbourliness is not as strong, as it was 50 years ago. Gone are weekly card games; television killed them. Gone are the threshing gangs, silo fillings, barn raisings, wood cutting bees and many other chain ideas, They are now just something for old- timers to remember while their tired old muscles ache in mem ory, But today’s farmer is still de pendent on Jiis neighbours, in much the same manner but with many modifications of the same -sound basic principle. Just let a man be sick, have a disastrous accident, a fire or what have you, and see hdw quick -the farm folks gather around. Corporation farming is not too common in this are'a. Offhand, we can name them on the fing ers of one hand, while .many look at them with envy,'some of the participants envy the little fellow too. For our money we’d sooner be On the outside looking in than on the inside looking out. -Others must -think so too. Nine ty-nine percent of the land around (here is family owned and Operated. These farming units vary in size but are still family farms. Ours is the shirt-tail size but we like it add it gives us a comfortable living and we hope a long one—wo enjoy it immen sely.
