If you have a breeding herd of livestock, don't, fail to secure the directive and application form for a basic herd from your Dis- trict office. It must be applied for at least 30 days before a sale and it is much more satisfactorily done before .there is an estate to settle. 12. Get the Farmer's Guide for the preparation of the 1950 income tax returns from your Post Office. Be sure it is for the right year. 13, Be sure to read the Guide. 14. District office officials are and anxious to help you, Nvithont charge, Don't hesitate to consult them, 3.5. If for any reason, you feel that Ycu are not being fairly treated, considering the circumstance; consult your own organization, the Federation, -of Agriculture, You will not only be helping yourself, if we can straighten up inequitable or irregular practice with your assistance, it will help every other farmer who may have a similar problem. At the March Directors meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agri- culture held in Clinton on March 2g., a resolution was passed and forward- ed to the Ontario Department of Highways asking that gas refunds be paid within sixty days of receipt of application, It was also suggested that the Dept, send the fanner a receipt ,stating that the application has been received at the Dept. of Highways Of- flee. In some cases a farmer has had to wait six months before receiving payment for his rebate on tractor gas used in doing farm work, When we owe the Government money it is paid promptly (or else). When it owes us money, any time will do to make pay- ment. The• present chaotic butter situation gives us fair warning that we cannot rely on our Federal Department of Agriculture to do the Job of storing sufficient food in time of plenty to carry our consumers over the period of short supply. In an agricultural country like we have, there should never be a short- age of basic foods such as meat, but- ter, cheese, eggs, ,etc., yet we have found cheese hard to buy at any price, butter "is being dpled out on a Week to week basis And next fall eggs Will be a luxury on almost anyones table. When we find PrObleMe like these confronting tia, we have ..to look Care- fully to see if we can find the cause, So far I pan suggest a few reasons for these shortages, First we htwe the Government policy of directing the flow of milk into certain channels by making the price more attractive in that particular market. Secondly we have the cut back in price on these products when all other prices were moving upward, Thirdly we have the good financial returns for meats that make it a better business proposition to let calves milk the cows rather than milk them and sell the milk to make cheese or butter. The solution to this dilemma of short supply and exeessive prices will not he an easy one. The price of but- ter and eggs will have to be set at a much higher level than last year to encourage farmers to produce more of these essentials than they have done during the past year. We can produce more than enough butter, cheese and eggs to satisfy our nation- al consumer demand, but it will not be done at a price such as we receiv- ed in 1950, namely 28c per pound for cheese, 53c per pound for butter and around 32c for eggs. We will have to rely more upon our marketing boards to tell us what is required to fill the consumer demand and what price we can expect to re- ceive for our produce, THEY TELL ME IT'S TRUE By Bob Clark. This week tTHEY TELL ME IT'S TRUE, takes us back almost a hun- dred and fifty years, to a vine covered cottage, nestling in a grove of trees on a sloping English hillside where lives the beloved English poet, Thom- as Moore, and his lovely bride, the fragile and beautiful, Bessie Dyke— famed throughout the British Isles for her rare beauty. Theirs is an ideally romantic life . . nothing mars their perfect happiness. But then, one day, the beautiful bride falls ill, Her brow is fevered, her face is pale. Her husband hovers over her anxiously, and a worried frown comes on his face. . .he leans over the bed, whispering . . "As you know Darl- ing, I leave for Italy tonight, • . but I won't be gone long. The doctor is here, and the nurse, and they will stay with you until I come back, and when I do, come back, I want to find you well and strong again. Good bye my beloved . , good bye." ries to the door of his wife's room, he finds the doctor waiting for him outside the closed door. As he starts to open it, the doctor stops him say- ing... "Welcome back Sir! I am glad you have returned. But I am afraid that I have news for you that you won't want to hear, Oh, your wife is well . she is almost strong enough to leave her bed, but... " As the doc- tor hesitates, the young poet grasps his arm in a grip of iron. "But what? Tell me man! What are you trying to say? Hurry I want to see her!" For a moment, the doctor remains silent. , , then, taking a deep breath, he replies gently . . . "That is why I stopped you here, sir. She doesn't wish you to see her!" The young poet is stunned. He can Only stare at the doctor. In a soothing voice the doctor continues. . "I don't like to have to tell you, but your wife has been seriously ill. We didn't know it before you left, but she was suf- fering from smallpox! And it has left its cruel marks on her face." He pauses, then in a stilted voice con- times . . her beauty is gone." iof Without a word the young poet pushes the doctor aside, opens the door and walks slowly into the sick room. It is in pitch darkness, and there in that kind darkness. lies his young wife. Knowing that her love is gone forever, she is afraid to let her husband see her face . . for oddly she fears his love—more precious to her than life itself - will vanish just . as her beauty has disappeared. He begs and pleads with her but with tears in her eyes, she refuses to let him look at her. At last, in despair the poet leaves her, and walks slowly, dejectedly.. . down the hall to his little book-lined study. And there a sudden thought strikes him. Perhaps. , . perhaps through a verse, a poem written front the fullness of his heart, he can con- vince his wife that though he loved her delicate beauty, his real love was for her, not her face. And so, all night long he sits at his desk writing .. scratching out a wort" here .. . adding a word there, and at last, as the stars fade at the touch of dawn, he tiptoes to the door of her room and softly sings to her a song of love. . . the poem he has written, set to an old Irish melody. When he has finished, his wife is silent. And then with her own hands, she lights the tapering candles beside her bed. Their light stabs the dark- ness, and unafraid she turns her scar- red and pitted face to the light. Her husband's eyes never falter. . he gazes steadily at the once lovely face , . it's beauty destroyed forever. And in his glance is the same love, the same adoration as before. He half runs, half stumbles across the room, and falling on his knees by the bed he whispers.. "To me, darling, you are beautiful. — that is how the song "BELIEVE ME IF ALL THOSE ENDEARING YOUNG CHARMS," came to be writ- ten, written by the poet to give a message to just one woman, his wife.. But so beautifully written, and ex- pressing a message so sincere, that it has become known and loved by the whole world, They Tell Me It's True! 7, 9, Several weeks pass before the young poet returns from Italy to his now and forever." home in England.
