James Gardiner Outlines Pro- gram aimed to aid Allies and Domestic Markets A ,11••• Lid I t, ntealt to ,itt at that hard," Wartime Housing is taking shape near war production plants all over Canada. Thousands of .war workers and their families are securing new, clean and healthy accommodatiomi Above are shown four stages in build- ing these units, giving an indication i of the speed in construction and the compactness of_ these dwellings. In the lower photograph are shown two of the 11,000 homes built, utider con- struction, or contemplated, which are now housing Canada's war workers. Canada had "enormous" supplies of other food and it was not nearly so important to keep on a Canadian plate a slice of any particular kind of meat which would help Canada's Allies as it was.to ship it to "where it would do the most good." In the development of the program he hoped for the co-operation and sup- port of all house-holders, organiza- tions, farmers and the press: He backed the. appeal of the Can- adian Bacon Board that Canadians postpone their pork purchases for the next seven weeks so that the British contract for 600,000,000 pounds of bacon, now being completed., could be filled on schedule. Less Pork Now "If Canadians will do with less pork at present, there is the hope that they will. not have to go so short in the year to come, as the increased produc- tion now possible becomes notice- able," the minister said. There was a possibility, there might have to be some control of beef slaughter in future so as to see that animals were not killed when they were too young. If cattle were held off the market for six months or more, the gain in weight would be from 200 to 300 pounds each. But when the program has reached its objective there should be a suffic- iency of beef and other meats for Can- adians with Allied requirements also being met. "When we ship beef across the bor- der to the United States we make it possible for the United States to ship a similar amount to the United King- dom or other Allies who require it," the minister said, "We do not process beef for ship- ment overseas to any great extent in Canada, 'and the best arrangement is for as to ship supplies there to be re- leased for those of our Allies who re- quire it." CLEAN UP GARDEN TO CONTROL INSECTS During the summer of 1942 many species of insects have been present in outbreak form in widely separated distr,icts of eastern Canada, In check- ing back, it is interesting to note that a large percentage of these were in- sects which hibernate beneath trash in the ,gardens or on weeds or culti- vated plants which are frequently al- towed to stand all winter either in the gardens or in nearby waste land. Some, of the insects which were re- sponsible lot important crop losses this year are the tarnished plant bug, cutworms, the imported cabbage worm the squash bug, onion thrips, the cu- cumber beetle, the Fhtropean corn borer and boring caterpillars of one species or another. These insects could have, been greatly reduced if more care had been practised by the growers last autumn in cleaning Op plant tornaitis as aeon AS the crop had A Nina ts -to cAfct( PREVENT FIRES to These Simple Suggestions If Followed a By Everyone In the Family Will n Make Your Home Safe From Fire.: n Fire Prevention Week is'Oct. 5-10. 11 Put lighted matches and smokes out I 1 n n a • • n n Examine all stoves, furnaces and Br smoke-pipes to make sure they are ri safe and well away from woodwork or other burnable materials.

"During that period of two years we have encouraged farmers to produce in as great quantities as possible those commodities which Britain require: Namely, cheese and bacon. "It has required the use 'of all stir- pluses of feed and a control of the consumption of these two products in Canada to make possible the shipment of the agreed-upon amounts to Brit- ain." "Last year, in order to obtain the quantities required, we found it neces- sary to prevent the shipment of feeds out of Canada." "The creating by artificial means of a shortage of supply in cheese and pork has- resulted in a run on Other food products, particularily beef, until there has developed a temporary and artificial shortage in beef in certain urban centres." The department's policies had been assisted by a record supply of feed grain, fodder and pasture grown this year. It had to be remembered that while there were great economic ad- vantages in maintaining a direct con- nection between Canada and the Un- ited Kingdom in hog marketings, the economic advantages in relation to cattle were in maintaining connections with the United States, "Any policy devised must both in 'our own interests and that of the war effort be so arranged as to keep oar. meat supplies in Britain and so far as beef is concerned in the United States as well as Canada," he said. 110W available and increase the 914Plit ,,of animal products for Canada 11.0 her Allies. • The minister outlined steps in the program as follows:. 1. A new agreement be signed with the United Kingdom for the provision of bacon, with the figure of 675,000,000- pounds mentioned as the possible export in the coining year compared with 600,000,000. pounds in the contract 3, ear ending in about seven weeks, Farmers will 'be urged to breed more so7ws from now on to ensure success for the hog production pro- gram. '4 As soon as possibe pork will be restored to full volume on, the Canad- - ' kin market without interfering with British requitiementa. When this has been done, the adequate supply of • pork for Canadian domestic needs will . release beef for the United States mar- ket. This will permit the Americans to release beef from tiller home mar- ket for shipment to Britain. Beef Catte 8. A program will be undertaken to encourage the feeding of beef cattle un- til they are at least three -years old, and to bring about an increase in the number of animals turned into beef, Mr. Gardiner said that at last sup- plies of grain were sufficient to permit Planning fora two-year program. He made this statement to the press conference at which he announced the policy: "If farmers conserve the fodder and feed grain grown this year it is pos- sible to enter upon ,a two-year pro- grain of production of meats which in from 6 to 12 months' time, depending upon. the product concerned, will re- sult in our being able to supply our own people with reasonaoble supplies of dairy products and meats of all kinds and at the same time supply Britain with rive expected amounts of cheese and bacon and the United States with her supplies of beef cat- tle." For two years the Agriculture De- partment, through wheat acreage re- duction, Prairie farm assistance and Prairie farm income measures, assist- ance on freight on feed shipped east from Fort William and west into British ,Columbia„and assistance on fertilizer supplied in Eastern Canada, Agricultural Minister Gardiner an- had attempted to get feed- grain and moaned a major agricultural program fodder production up to a.level where to make use of vast stores of irain a long-time program of meat and SIR MALCOLM ROBERTSON BRITISH COUNCIL CHIEF r comes back DaorAGANDA. likeaboomerang when it is blat- ant and while the methods of Dr. Goebels may win temporary advantages, the.

Many insects leave the plants upon which they are feeding as soon as the plants lose their succulence and either migrate to other crops or go into hib- ernation beneath available trash or de- bris lying nearby. Accordingly, the gathering tip and burning of plants as soon as harvesting of the crop • has been completed, is important and should not be neglected. Do not al- low them to lie about the garden until freeze-up, as by the time many of the insects will have escaped to some safe place of hibernation. • Now is the time to plan what will be clone in the garden this autumn. In doing this, be sure that ample time is set aside for carrying out that most important step, garden sanitation. Do not forget to clean up and burn all plants. Keep weeds under control right up until the snow flies, even though the last crop has been removed weeks before. Burn over nearby waste land when grasses and weeds are still dry. Cleaning up the garden will con- tribute more than any other single factor in bringing about a reduction in insect population, which ill turn will be reflected in increased crop yields ext year.
