Dear 'Sir:
I would like the opportunity to
correct a statement made in the
report of the Morris Township
Federation of A g riculture annual
meeting of February 4th. Mr.
Winston Shapton, County Presi-
dent, was quoted, as saying, that,
farmers were :asking= for 70 per
cent parity prices—what he (Win-
ston Shapton) in 'effect actually did,
say was, That 'the stand. ;cif the'
Federation of Agricultare IS, that
price soinorts should ?leve r, fall
below 70 per cent of parity as cal -

Dear -Sir:
I was interested deeply in that
"Study Farm. Management" -pic-
torial feature in the A-T, dealing
very effectively with a course con-
ducted by Jack Clark of the O.A.C.,
"concentrating on the factors which
affect 'farm income".
Curiously enough, one Of ,your
national advertisers made me
think of the applieation of tech-
nology;,and the research laboratory
to the improi,eraent 'of "farm in-
come"t by the following message in
that same issue: "Don't waste hog
feeding -time . . „ Tests prove that
straight grain-fed hogs' 'take up to
two merithS longer to reach market
weight thin halaneed fed hogs".
This readerq concern with the
above patterns may be clescribeo
as two-fold: (a)—I realize my link
between a prpsperous agriculture
and steady work schedules in the
nation's industrial plants; and ela)
—It seems to this final corisuinei
that Marketing is the weak-spot in
the ,farmer's econoinic mechanism,
and that it is one of the basic
reasons for his proverbiat 'location
at or near -the foot of the clasS of
gainfully-employed Canadians - de-
spite the vital services 'he renders
to 86% Of the population in village,
town and city?
De that as it may, I thought -the
following towlines) which I ran
across the other day in One of your
CIS, farm cOntemporaries, worth
sending to the spotlight:
"As recently as 1930 it took .15
pounds of 'feed' and 15 weeks to
produce a three-poUnd chicken,
Now 71,E pounds and nine weeks, do
the trick. Twenty-seven years ago

pounds produce 112 eggs, We can

.A REAL THRILLER
Most. of you have ,seen, either on
television or at the theatre, scenes
in which prehistoric monsters bat-
tled to the death, amid thrashings
and agonized -writ-flings, We found,
out on Wednesday evening that such
blood-curdling scenes are enacted
every day right in our own rivers
and marshes.
One of the films shown at the
Scouts father and, son banquet was
Pit4led "World of the :Marsh", and
it Wa'S' a most astonishing.piece :of
photography.- One of the most in-
teresting sequences occroTed,when_a
garter snake 'attempted 'to swallow.
a bull frog, only to find the tables
turned. The frog Managed to snap
its jaws on the head of the snake and
the scene which followed N-vbuld have
Made any H011ywo—od prOdncer look
like an unimaginative fake.
The entire film, we thought, was
.a most unusualpiece of work. Done
in full 'color, tiny water insects
appeared on the screen as unearthly
monsters, Highly interesting was
the, portion in which a dragon fLy
emerged from its nymph stake, pain-
fully dragging its beautiful body out
of the :Shell-like c-asing in which it
had spent two years of -its life.. 4Phe
transformation.from an Ugly pre-
dator into the ir -idescent creature
with wings of "thinnest Mist. was one
Of the most entraheing 'we have ever
seen. '
The 'filial was produced by the
• National- nut Board and is but a
sample of-the hundreds of fine-.docti-
memory pieces which are"a'vailabl'e
to the Canadian public at a nominal
cost. It was for this purpose that
a film council was recently set up iii
Witighatn, where a library: of films
*ill be„eStablished for the Use all
the participating OrganixationS:
erators are at present being trained,
SO that much wider benefit from
these wonderful films will be made
available to the .people of, 'this, com-
munity and the surrounding district.
MIXED REACTION-..
Poit:Ps, this. particular part of
• .Canada ,differs from 'oth'er sections;
,but cOntrary to. reports , -of - intense
election interest hi .both east „and
iuest"; it dries Seetii that Ontario is
taking the present 'jeeral campaign.

,
hear
both Liberal and Conservatie lead-
ersin inost of the Maritime pr ovine-
an .equal• excitement seems
preVail on the Prairies, and in RC,
There are -no doubt areas in On-
tario where political fervour is run-
ning high, but we have • seen no
evidence of it in our own loCality. it
could well be that such complacency
with the election only two weeks
away is an indication that conditions
in this part of the province are not
nearly as drastic .as they have been
described. Certainly there is nn-
employment, particularly in the
automotive centres, such as Wind-
sor, and the greater. Toron-
to area, but it does not seem. to be
too general in the rest Of the pro-
vince.
Election pitch is often determin-
ed by the number of "gripes' the
voters are carrying, arid irl the Mari-
