McKinney, Jr., Honorary President, Ontario Federation of Agriculture. (Note-:--This is the sqcond of series of comments, by well-known authorities, ,-written expressly for ' the Weekly Press • of Ontarid) Will the Canadign farmer ,meet the. challenge of the difficult years ahead? Of that I' have no doubt. His sons in the armed forces maintain Canadian honour in the world-wide struggle for freedom. His daughters assist in es- sential industry. In the past, he has not only bought Victory Bonds but with characteristic thrift he has held them and with less labour has materi- ally increased his production of food stuffs. It is his proud claim that he has met and exceeded every request for increased production-in fact, his producing of food per capita is prob- ably higher than anywhere else in the world. Canadian workers have more money today than at any time since the 1920's, That is also true of the Can- adian farniers, Not only has he re- ceived more money for his increased volume of production but he has spent less. In normal 'times, seventy per cent of his income is immediately spent on the farm business, on feed for his livestock, fertilizer for his fields, new machinery, repairs to buildings, wages for farm labour, conservation of soil, etc. In other wOrds," he keeps his -home, feeds:his family, educates his children, and provides for his old age with thirty per cent of his gross income. A farmer maintains both farm and home, and therefore thirty per cent of his gross %income is his living-the equivalent of the, wages of the worker or of the sal- ary of the professional man. -But during. war time, new machinery is, not, available. Building materials are scarce and labour is not obtainable to repair barns or build fences or cut Weeds• or otherwise maintain farms in proper condition and efficiency. One reason why farmers have more money today is,because they have been unable to spend it. Eventually these expenses. will, have to be _met, SoRner or later we must make up the accumu- lated repairs of four or five wartime years, This is equally true of our farm homes. All of this 'will require the expenditure of considerable sums of money. Agriculture is changing. Since the last war the radio, telephone, motor ear and farm tractor have been Ac- cepted es farm. necessities. There will probably be even greater changes in the years 'to come, Today, hydro is in general use and we hope will soon be available to all, because hydro makes possible water systems, ,refrig- eration and many household conven- iences which will brighten, farm homes ad make living more pleasant as well as making Available new equipment for the barn and dairy, We are rapidly becoming more mechanized, After the war there will probably be available many improved types of farm rna.chin- cry, We will need to' make not only repairs but improvements to make not only replacements but to avail our- selves of every bit of labour-saving machinery which will add to our ef- ficiency. It is impossible to forsee what mar- ket conditions Will he after the war.-- but we, do'knOw that competition will be keen and that only by the most ef- ficient methods of .production can 'the fanner -hope 'to keep pace. Methods of marketing are changing and we must be equipped to produce quality products - and market them efficiently! That means both experidi- tures on farm machinery and adequate organization. We 'Must organize to produce quality, to secure premium recognition of quality - and we will need to co-operate with our fellow farmers here and with organized farm- ers in other countries. I am confident that farmers will meet the challenge of post-war condi- tions. This means paying off our in- debtedness NOW. That is good busi- ness, It , also means building up re- serves for future needs. Buying Vic- tory Bonds is an excellent way of do- ing this because they permit us to do a twofold job; first, assist in the prose-' cution of the war and, 'second, ac- cumulate the savings which will en- able us 'to maintain our place as Can- ada's major industry. I am certain Canadian farmers will not forget to fill their lamps! BELMORE Field; Country Beyond, Curwooch Strange IGate, Oppenbein; Exiles, W.

We approve of grading farm products as it encourages farmers to, strive to produce products, of a higher quality. Grading cattle under the same system as hogs now' is a sugested change to meet the need of consumers more satisfactorily, The main object of farmers must be to raise higher quality products, especially in the post- war period, if we hope to compete on the overseas markets. Bulletins ob- . tained from the Department of Agri- ! culture were distributed. Twenty-one names were procured for the autograph quilt being made by the Salvation Army in Wingham, This quilt is to be sent to a military hospital over- seas. After the discussion period the ladies quilted two quilts for the Sal- vation Army while the men played cards. The next meeting will be held, at Owen King's home. WINTER KILLS EARWORM One of the most injurious insects attacking-corn in Ontario, the corn earsvorm, is unable to surviive during the winter ponths. and as a result all these insects are completely wiped out every year by sub-zero temperature. However, 'in most years, the country is re-infested by a flight of moths corn- ing from the Southern States during the months of July and August. The fact that each female moth is capable of laying a great number of eggs, from 500 to 2,500 'depending on the indi- vidual moth, is responsible for the rapid build-up so frequently noticed.
