Foreword:
The-Farm Survey was conducted by
the East Wawanosh Township Fed-
eration of Agriculture, Each school
section director was responsible for
canvassing the farmers of his section.
The completed, lists were sent to the
Office of the Ontario Department 'of
Agriculture, Clinton, for tabulation.
The objective of the Survey was to
find out the actual farm conditions
relating to labour, machinery and
equipment, livestock, field crops, and
other important farm phases, so that
assistance could be given for the pro-
duction of foodstuffs so necessary for
the Canadian war effort.
Results of Survey
Number of farmers co-operating,

He just smiled when they were
through giving the list and gave the
tobacco in his pipe a wicked squeeze
down with his thumb:, and said, "It
may have been your pleasure to name
me to 'that position but it looks as if
I am going to have to get a little work
done,"
Ex-warden of the county and now
treasurer of the township of McKillop,
John M. Eckert is a public-spirited
man. Appeal to him on behalf of any
public undertaking that is a worthy
one and he'll help you, most likely
at personal inconvenience.
With two sons enlisted in the cause
of freedom he has, been a tireless' war
worker. A former operator of a saw
in a mill in British Columbia where
he bossed a gang of japs he never
underestimated the 'little yellow men.
He operates a farm and knows all
about the shortage of labor and the
problems which face Ontario farmers
at the present time.
"Wars were never won by not doing
things," he said at a recent meeting of
the Huron Plowing Match Committee.
"We're going to win this war and
we're going to put the International
Plowing Match over in a mightly big
way."
