Dear Sir:
In view of the feet that, accord-
ing to, my reading, there are only
an estimated 568,000 farms across
Canada, as me step • across' the
threshold'of 1959, as compared with
725,000 as recently as 1941—a mere
moment in the nation's life—I got
'food for thought' from the...follow-
ing pattern from the United States,
and it occurred to me,to send 'the
table, from a survey by the U.S.
Dep't, of Agriculture, to the spot-
light, in this fortunate land 'of
ours:
Farmers make' up' less and less
of the population, `thus:' 1910,
34.7 Pere'ent;. 1.92'0; 30:0 percent;
1930, 24.8: pereentr;:::1940, 23,1 Pen
cent; 1;950, 16.5 percent; 1955, 13.4
percent; 1958 (est) 10.5 percent!,
Ancl are getting less: and less '.of
the: nation's,-iiicome; thus: 1910,
16,3 epereent; .1920,, 14,0 percent;
1930, 8.4, :percent; '1940, '8.2 percent;"
1950, 8.1 percent:A.955, 5.1. percent;
1258 (est) 4.6 percent.
The abeveIiiettire makes a man,
wonder just what's , happening
here, in the Domin'ion? ,Any valid
comparison, howeVer, must make
provision for a. fact,' brought fer-
ward by.one of the best-inf ormed
economic Writers' Washington,
'It .has to be "remembered'
however, that. AgricUlture in Ca
na,da; weighs more , than' tWice the
weight in that country's minority,
than does its opposit0 number in
the United States . . . ';
Frankly, this reader is not im-
pressed with the conclusion of one
of the financial columnists, in
Canada,. last year: "The foot is
that agricultural revenues are • no
longer a major determinate in this
riation'a prosperity". prefer ,to
build my thought around the warn-
ing of one the really wise men:
"Let us never forget' that cultiva-
tionof the earth is the chief
activity. of Mankind!" , • •

-l.,ast week, 'the Wingham town

We can neither drown them nor re-

the case we have to provide Class-

The need for additional expendi.

EXTRA CARE IS NEEDED
No doubt most car drivers have
already found out that driving con-
ditions hi town are hazardous to say
the least: Snow is piled so high at
most intersections that cars ap-
proaching at right ,angles cannot
be seen by the driver who is around
the corner. We have personally
taken part in several near-misses
and have witnessed several others,
The same snow conditions, are
making 'it doubly dangerous for
pedestrians, ,particularly children,
who must walk on the ploughed
streets, A youngster can emerge
so 'quickly from a deep-sunk path-
way throuh the roadside tiloiind$
that the driver has to be right up on
the brake pedal to avoid serious
accidents.
This is a good time of year to
drive slowly in town, The tmexpect-
ed can happen so much more easily
