WALKERTON GOES
AFTER DOGS
Despite a poor start at the begin-
ning of the month of May, when little
attention was paid to the edict of the
Town Council by some local owners,
the dog by-law is now being fairly
well observed. Very few foot-loose
barkers can be seen on Walkerton
streets at,any time and in most cases
those enjoying freedom have in some
way broken away from their moor-
ings. Some dog owners continue to
give their canines the freedom of the
town during the hours of darkness
but these are few and far between.
as a consequence the authorities are
elated that the dog problem has not
been the bone of contention in 1952
as it has in past years, and with the
lapse of .some two weeks' time the en-
tire .dog population will once more be
released .from durance vile.

Collective Farming
by Lewis Milligan
Canadian farmers who have any
leanings towards collective farming
could learn something to their dis-
advantage by a perusal of articles in
the Soviet press which describe how
that system of agriculture works out
in practice, I have just read two of
these articles, one entitled, "The Pub-
lic Element and the Private Element
in Collective Farming," and the other.
"20 years of Collective Farm Work-
day Unit." The first article begins by
stating that "Under socialism personal
interests are indivisible from public
interests, combined in Soviet society
in accordance with the principle
"From each according to his abilities,
to each according to his work." It will
be noted by the way, that the word
"work" has displaced the word "need"
which appeared originally in the
Communist Manifesto, and the change
is very significant.
A Workday unit is described as the
"unit used in computing the labor
performed by a collective farmer and
his individual share in the net in-
come of the farm. It is a quota of
daily work per person, graded accord-
ing to the kind and quality of the
Work performed. A skilled farmer
may earn more workdays in a day
than an unskilled cowherd, arid an
efficient skilled farmer > may
earn more than one performing
time. The farm's net income, both hi
cash and kind, is divided by the total
number of workdays recorded for all
the farm members, and distributed
on this basis, much as a eorppration
dividend is divided according to the

While the collective farm is said to
be a combination of public and private
interests, a sort of co-operative, it is
frankly stated that in the process of
its growth it will become closer and
closer in nature to national property."
and the private interests would be
gradually reduced and eliminated. In
fact the collective farm and the col-
lective farmer are already the com-
bined property of the Soviet State.
They are both under the control
and supervision of the Party Central
1 Cornmittee in their operations and the
Imarketing of their products, and es-
pecially in raising the average of
workday units. In one district the
average workday units registered per
ablebodied farmer in 1949 was 360,
"Nevertheless," it is admitted "there
are many collective farmers who put
in no more than 100 to 150 workday
units and even less. It must not be
forgotten that on farms there are still
ishirkeil and shiftless persons in sup-
erfluous jobs who avoid productive
work and live at the expense of the
work of the farmers who labor in the
fields and tend the livestock."

the lofty title of Hero of Socialist
Labor." From this latter it appears
that the Russian women still do as
large a proportion of the manual lab-
or on the farm as they did in the bad
old days. In another place we are told
that a decree was issued "On Meas-
ures to Liquidate Violations of the
Collective Farm Statutes" (1946) the
Council of Ministers of the Party Cen-
tral Committee "pointed to the gross
violations of the Statutes, taking the
form of incorrect expenditures of the
workday units, and that cases of em-
bezzlement of workday units result in,
devaluation of the workday unit, re-
duction of the income to he distribut-
ed for workday units and consequent-
ly in the interest of collective farmers
in the collective farm work." As a re-
sult of the enforcement of this decree,
535,000 persons in the collective farms
had been "eliminated as superfluous
administrative and service personnel,
and 213,000 who had no connection
with collective farms were removed
from the workday unit rolls."
The brighter side of the picture is,
of course, emphasized and it is claim-
ed that for the "overwhelming major-
ity of the farmers, "their labor is a
matter of honor, glory, prowess and
heroism." But how many Canadian
farmers would submit to the workday
unit "discipline" for the "lofty title of
Hero of Socialist Labor?"
1. The Value of Farm Ponds
Water supply on farms in Southern
Ontario is obtained from wells,
streams, springs, ponds and cisterns.
With the mechanization of farm op-
erations, the improvements in sanita-
tion and with larger and better herds
there is an increased demand for wat-
er. Supplies on the other hand, are
diminishing. Shallow wells often get
their supply from "perched" water
tables which are rapidly disappearing
and are not likely to be re-establish-
ed. Deep wells and some shallow wells
draw water from the permanent level
of underground water. This, in many
regions, has lowered considerably.
Streams, springs and ponds are drying
up or are being filled in, partly
through mismanagement, but largely
CONSERVATION
CORNER
Farm ponds are directly connected
with soil conservation. The study of
soil erosion in Southern Ontario re-
veals that the most important single
remedy for arresting this insidious
process is the estabishing of good sod
cover, This in turn would provide a
considerable increase of grazing land.
One of the biggest obstacles to estab-
lishing improved pasture on eroding
land is the lack of watering places
for herds. Properly managed springs,
streams and natural ponds give the
cheapest and most reliable supply of
water, Small ponds offer the best
form of management and provide
reservoirs in time of drought.
The hazard of fire is becoming in-
creasingly important with higher
costs of buildings and' equipment.
Much is being done for fire protec-
tion by better organization and equip-
ment, but firefighting apparatus re-
quires ample supplies of water from
which it can draw. Wells, in many in-
stances, are inadequate for pumps.
Natural supplies are not dependable
and often remote from buildings.
Therefore well built ponds favourably
located,,are much better sources for

Hanover as Sparrow
Pitches No=Hitter
The Wingham Mercurys really
caught fire last Saturday night, and
swamped a bewildered Hanover squad
8-0. Guy Sparrow led the locals with
a brilliant display of pitching and
chalked up a no-hitter. When the
smoke of battle had cleared away
Wingham had eight runs, 12 hits and
one error. Hanover had no runs, no
hits and three errors. Sparrow re-
tired twelve batters by the strike-out
route and Cotton six.
Sparrow also led the hit parade
with four for five trips to the plate.
Johnny Crewson banged out two
singles. Westlake has also begun to
hit his batting stride in the last two
games, and hit a triple.
Sparrow scored the first run in the
opening innings Saturday night. Big-
gest innings were the second and
seventh. In the second Gardner
started the rally with a clean hit,
Gaull singled and Sparrow scored
Gardner; Crewson brought in Gaull
and Sparrow for a total of three runs
in the third. Sparrow, Crewson and
Cutting all scored in the seventh and
Crewson added the final run in the
eighth from Westlake's three bagger.

this purpose.
Many farmers know that good fac-
ilities for recreation are necessary to
make farm life attractive to hired
help and to their own children, Water,
especially for swimming and skating,
fishing and boating, can be the focus
of recreational activities, There is in-
creasing interest in ponds for this
purpose,
Conservation aims at the creation of
a balance between all living things,
including wildlife population such as
muskrats for commercial exploitation,
game for hunting, fishing for angling
and certain species of birds and mam-
mals for the control of pests, These
purposes can be served by farm ponds
or by well managed natural streams,
and in some instances they may be
suitable for a combination of uses.
Recent spells of drought have creat-
ed interest in irrigation, Ponds can
serve a useful purpose in this regard.
either by preservation of pasture or
protecting a valuable cash crop. For
example, a half-acre pond of average
depth of 4 feet contains 24 "acre-in-
ches" of water, enough to cover a 12-
acre field with 2 inches of water.
Throughout much of South Central
Ontario there were in 1949 four weeks
during June and July in which there
was no rainfall at all in a period in
which at least two inches could be ex-
pected as the average fall. Convenient
ly located, a pond of the above size
could be used to take up this slack.
It is generally believed that any
measures to hold water on the land
would improve ground water levels
and summer flow in streams as well
as mitigate flood conditions on rivers.
It would take a good many ponds to
effect a measurable improvement in
this regard, but in view of the many
advantages in controlling surface flow
of water it is not too much to hope
that small ponds might become num-
erous enough to improve the whole
situation materially,
