good reporting.
, Proof of the fact that the rppprttrf
of the Farmer’s magazine made a
‘•Fluff” as we in radio call an
is to be found in a notation by the
editor that they have been re-assigned
to write another story, and bring in
all the facts, including the sales ht
butter to farmers by creameries and
cream trucks. We do a lot of funny
things in this day and age, but I don’t ’
think that there are many farmers:
who are short-sighted enough to cut
their own throat, or defeat their own
cause by using a substitute, There arc
a lot of people who would try and
give you that impression, why, we do
not know,‘but there has always been
a movement afoot to discredit the
farmer as a hayseed, a hick, an ignor*
ant, stubborn, slow-thinking soul, who
is honest, because he isn’t sharp
enough to be crooked. There are
thousands of people in the country to
day who still entertain this descrip
tion of a farmer, mainly because they
have been misled by such fool-hardy
souls as the boys who wrote the mar
garine story.
Farmers are not hay-seeds or hicks,
any more than the folks in the city.
True, there are always exceptions to
every rule, but there are just as many
exceptions in the city. Rural commun
ities do not have the juvenile delin-
qency rate to be found in urban cen
tres, and I should think that they
should be proud of it. Their children
are brought up in the fresh air, and
they develop an appreciation of other
folks instead of a caustic disregard •
for the feelings of others. Farmers
are all business men, with their own
businesses and they have more respon
sibilities than any other class of
people. Perhaps that is why they are
cautious, and take a little longer to
think before they jump. Let us not
be fooled by these stories, that are
obviously intended to discredit farm
ers. The huge headlines of the daily
papers, proclaiming increased farm
income, while at the same time, the
farmer is actually taking home less
money in. the way of net income. This
is reflected in the recent statistics
from the farm machinery companies,,
and the automotive companies that
their sales are down. The farmer
spends as he receives and his spend
ing habits are reflected in consumer
purchasing power. That too, has drop
ped this past year.

BUTTER VS MARGARINE
Not too long ago, a couple of staff
writers of the Farmer’s Magazine
created quite a furor among readers
for their outspoken story on the con
sumption of magarine by farmers and
persons connected with agriculture. I
happened to notice that this last edi-
ion of the Farmer’s Magazine has
brought forth a number of outraged
letters to the editor, informing him
that his writers were not only ill-in
formed, but they didn’t consider the
fact that most of the farmers bought
their butter direct from the creamery,
and did not buy over the counter of
their retail store. The story had orig
inally claimed that retail stores in
towns such as we have here in Wing
ham, were selling more margarine to
farmers than they were butter. This
again goes to show that you have to
to take everything into consideration
before you sit down with your pencil
and paper to write a story. There are
many points that have to be’ consider
ed and if you care to do so, you can
prove or disprove anything you like,
by using the material you prefer and
discarding the rest. But that is not
DON’T BORROW YOUR
NEIGHBOUR’S PAPER
A man too stingy to subscribe for
the home town paper sent his little
boy to borrow the next door neigh
bor’s. In haste, the boy ran over a
stand of bees and in 10 minutes he
looked like a wart summer squash.
His father ran to his assistance, and
failing to notice the barbed wire fence,
tare and ruined a $9 pair of pants.
The old cow took advantage of the
gap in the fence, got into the field
and killed herself eating green corn.
Hearing the commotion, his wife ran
out, upsetting a four-gallon churn of
cream into a basket of little chickens
drowning the entire batch. The baby,
being left alone, crawled through the
cream into the parlor, ruining a brand
new $150 carpet. During the excite
ment the oldest daughter eloped with
the hired man, the dog broke up 11
setting hens and the calves got out
and chewed the tails off four shirts
on the clothes line. Moral: It’s too
blamed risky to borrow your neigh
bor's paper.
What many
buildings are
really made of
When you *ook at any build
ing in which life insurance
dollars have been invested,
you may see only bricks and
mortar. But these buildings
are really fashioned out
- of many different people’s
dreams.
IF hat dreams? Perhaps a
father’s hope of sending his
boy to college some day. Or
a school teacher’s goal of a
trip to Europe. Or someone’s
plan to pay off a mortgage,
buy a farm, or retire at 65.
Out of such dreams many
different kinds of buildings are
constructed all over the nation.
Schools, stores, office buildings,
homes, hotels, power plants,
factories—these are some of the
useful structures created with
the aid of money which life
insurance companies invest for
their policyholders.
So, if you are a life insurance
policyholder, remember , . . while
you’re working to make your
* drcants come true .., while you’re
providing for your family’s
security . . . you’re also helping
to make Canada a better land to
live in I
