Central Europe has been hardest hit. Austria's livestock population is down 40% in some sections, 60% in others. Vienna is near starving with an average daily diet of 900 calories. That's not much considering that you, as an average Canadian, probably consume about 3000 calories each day. The 1944-45 acreage under cultivation in the Ukraine was still about 30% below prewar. The official gazette of the Soviet People's Commissariat for Soviet collective farms, reports that two-thirds to three-quarters of the livestock in regions occu- pied by the Germans were lost. These are simple facts that are of great importance to Canadian farmers. There is a tre- mendous demand for food products of all kinds in the world.

SOW GOOD SEED From harvesting to seeding time, farmers must apply themselves to many kinds of labour, such as plough- ing, harrowing, draining, in order to prepare the land and destroy weeds. After these many hours of toil in pre- paring the land they should not spoil their efforts by using poor' quality seed, full of weeds, and of a variety unsuitable to the district, .states•A. E. Ouelette, Dominion Exp etimental Farm, Lennoxville. However fertile, well-drained, or prepared the soil may be, 'it will return only what it receives. That is why the choice of seed is an important factorliifarm management. A few years ago, during the depression, some farmers thought to save money' by buying cheap leguminous seed without regard to quality or origin.' Great was their disappointment at the failure of their crops. 'the cheapest seed became the most expensive after all, Its poor germination lack of Un- iformity, and chiefly the weeds it con- tained, together with the loss of the crop, all helped to mast the cost pro- hibitive. PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS Wanted at Once Experienced Band Sawyers Belt. Sanders .and General Woodworkers,. APPLY IN PERSON TO Brown Bros. & Co. Limited W INGHAM ONTARIO By Harry J. Boyle I walked, to school with Patties Anti the other morning, The trustees were Meeting last ,Monday to discuss fixing tip the school yard. The old car is out of commission and rather' than hitch Up the horse in the buggy I Ifigured on walking with her. I didn't quite expect to take the route she was taking. Normally you walk to the 'end of the concession and then about a quarter of a mile down the County Road. Patricia Ann after seven mon- ths of school -has found a much more intriguing way of going to school. She calls it the shortcut. First of all we went across the fields to the Higgins place where we picked up Jimmy, Then we' went back the Higgins laneway to the creek where at least ten minutes was occupied in looking for fish in the' rain swollen stream. Having at last discovered a fair sized chub which Jimmy insisted was a trout we struck off across a cow path. We climbed a fence and went across the Johnson pasture. Then we walked a log across a boggy spot and gingerly picked our way along the swamps edge,, A big flat stone was pOinted out to me as being the place where the fairies danced at night, Jimmy was quite certain of that, leaving his books be- hind after he had given me a demon- stration of the approved way for fair- ies to dance. By the time we got to the O'Leary place he discovered the .loss and we had to wait ten minutes while he ran back for them. Some' old cow bones "in a heap on the side of the hill had to be examin-' ed, We made an excursion into the McAllister bii'sh where Jack was boil- ing sap,. We walked up the McAllis- ter laneway past the house and out Onto the County Road, The bell start-... ed toiling and the two youngsters started running-, leaving me behind. It provoked me to think of all this dawd- ling along but then as I saw about fif- teen other pupils all running with the same general idea in mind I had to laugh. It also reminded me of the-fact that going to and coming home from school was always an adventure. If my mem- ory serves me properly my own father used to wbrk up:a, fair sized tantrum when I would be just in time for sup- per and too late to help with the chor- e's. I guess' for all the changes that are coming about in World affairs our children .don't change too much. Incidentally I was late for the meet- ing. I was supposed to be there at a 'quarter to nine.
