I have been reading a book entitled "If I Had My Time Again," It is an anth- ology contributed to by 20 distinguish- ed men and women, and edited by Sir James Marchant, K. B. E. The con- tributors are all advanced in years and one of them is nearly ninety, so that they have a long way to look back and have little time left in which to make up for their short com• Living Life Over Again By Lewis Milligan •lailatra4.4: atalma $5O For the First X oilmoOmillio•••••••••••• The Fanning Mill by 1301) Carbert We hear a lot about farm prices these days, as the farmers voice their dismay and dissatisfaction, with the recently announced changes in the support price policies, governing pork and beef. Most people have already heard that the Dominion Government, more or less fed up with the meat buying business, has decided to lower the support price for hogs from it's present g6 cents a pound, (Toronto) to 23 cents per pound, (Toronto) on the first of January, 1953. There is a reason for this' dissatisfaction. The farmers have found that on an aver- age year, that their costs of produc- tion are such that they cannot make a profit on their hogs, at 23 cents, in fact, 90% of the farmers tell us that they will lose money, some at even 26 cents per pound. That of course is up to the farmer himself, and the way that he operates his farm. There are those who hold forth the argument that if a farmer is not oper- ating efficiently, then he has no rea- son to be subsidized by the federal government. Which has a certain amount of merit too, but they might as well subsidize the inefficient farmer, as keep the hundreds of inefficient wdrkers on relief, And after all, who are we to judge whether a farmer is efficient or not. Some farmers can raise-liogs at a profit, at 26 cents, per- haps some will be able to do so at 23. But no man is perfect, and where some factories can turn out shirts at $1.50, others need 2.50 to meet their costs of production. It is an easy thing to call a farmer inefficient, hut put yourself in his position, Perhaps he is short of help, perhaps his health is not as it might be. He might not have the type of farm that the better hog producers have, All of these enter into the cost of production. And the only sound basis of establishing the cost of production has been for years set along the hog-barley ratio, recog- tt1.8,41-Y4.7,40k,'i In my youth I received a letter from an uncle in South Africa In which he remarked that if he were offered the chance of living his life over again, he would reply in the words of an editor- ial rejection slip; "Declined with thanks." The oldest contributor to this 'wok. Horace Annesley Vachell, the novelist, admits that he has been "ex- ceptionally lucky," in having "God's greatest gift, high health," and he seems to have received few rejection slips from editors and publishers. He would be "willing (if not eager) to re- live" his long life as he had lived it, Another contributor, Lord Teviot, says that the only reason a man could have for desiring to relive his life would be that at its second beginning he would enter upon it with full possess- ion of all the experience that had be- fallen him during his first 'period of existence. But in that case he would have the dubious gift of pre-vision, which his lordship thinks would "en- tail endless embarrassment." I once heard Ian MacLaren preach on the subject, "Vain Regret," in when he emphasized the foolishness and the uselessness of worrying over the mistakes and ills of the past. In this connection, Lord Pethic-Lawrence tells a true story of a friend who was visiting a women's prison where she found a prisoner in tears and con- stantly moaning and repeating the words, "I wish I hadn't done it!" Seek- ing to' comfort the woman, she said at last: "Well. Make up your mihd that you won't do it again." After she left the cell she asked the wardress what was the crime the woman had committed, "Murdering her husband" was the reply. Omar said the last word on that: "The moving finger writes and having writ, moves on . . Nor all thy tears wash out a word of J.0 he should he able to improve on it its detail. But the Air Marshall confesses that he has become a fatalist. "During the last eight years or so," 'he says, "I have come to recognize it as a fact that long before my birth I was destined to command the British For- ces in the Battle of Britain. . I be- lieve that before my birth I assented willingly to the pattern of my and, although my pre-natal immersion in the Waters of Lethe was a 100 per cent effective, circumstances through- out my life have conspired to guide events along the prescribed channel Without any conscious knowledge or volition an my part." Obviously the Air Marshall believes in pre-existence, and he deals at length with the doctrine or reincarnation, which he says was taught by the early Christian Church. From my acquaint- ance with soldiers and airmen in par- ticular who were in the war I would judge that they were all fatalists. One young airman who was in many raids over Berlin told me that he "knew" he would come through alright, and, that others knew they would not re- turn. wI H NI 1 1 1 1 11 1M 11 11 1 1 11 31 nized by the leading farm economists. This hog,barley Ratio is based on this idea. The number of bushels of feed bar- ley that can be bought at prevailing prices, with returns from 100 pounds of dressed B-1 pork carcasses, The long.term average of this ratio, and this is considered to be what the farmer must needs receive for his product, has been established at 17.4. When the receipts for your pork drop to a point where you can buy less than this, then there is no money in hogs. At the present time, with the 26 per cent floor price, the ratio has dropped to 15 bushels. It takes little thought to figure out where the farm- er gets his strong argument, that he can't make money on hogs at 23 cents. Even so, he will no doubt keep on raising hogs, if at a reduced figure, in hopes that the future might pick up, and our unpredictable American friends might happen to lift the em- bargo, after the election. it. Air chief Marshall Lord Dowding ' begins by quoting a Hollywood star who was reported to have said: "If I ings, They all agree that the idea had my time over again I think I of living their lives over again is an would marry the same men, but in al impossible one, and that if it were different order." His answer to thH possible under the same circumstances question is on similar lines.
