"The farm problem i, largely one of •lutero-

comment, The Financial Post city;; : - -
'1'hese heretical routarks_ chine not from
'Bay Street but from the prairies: not. from a
tycoon but frau ati expert who cannothe
reproached with iguo0i1iree of farm r010111ions
or lack of sympathy for the farmer's plight.
The remark,, are heretit'al becftuse they sug-
gest. that Canadian farmers must pay attention

Srm1y held conviction Of many farm spokesmen
- that "everybody 61 out of step but us. •'
Professor Sinclair suggests some immedi-
ate changes in agrieult.ural policy to help deal
with the problem of _wheat, whieh, as he !Mints
out,•affects the prefitabability of all other farm
operations everywhere in Canada. IIe pro-
poses (1) all aggreissive wheat sales program,
with iveeptiulee and support of the idea o_ f a
world clearing hoose and food bank; (2) re-
laxation of some of the regulations now govern-
ing. wheat. sales to provide more flexibility in
the sales differentials now prevailing and more
incentive to traders to sell wheat ; (3) creation
of a stockpile of forage in the nest to Protect
tvestern rattle herds against'a failure of forage
supply.
This, should 1,e done. Professor Sinclair
suggests, through the use of "judieious•in,een-
tive payments and intelligent guidance" to 111-
(luec farmers to shift into forage et'ops acres
now ►rowing low -duality wheat..
• Ill short, Canadian ,ngrienitsure. has to ae-
eept the idea of rapid change with which every
,,,other kind of business has •long been painfully
familiar. No nation can afl;ord to see a major
' -industry become fossilized: Instead, -farmers
trust, be encouraged to make the changes that
are- the price Of sur-vival in this fast-moving
world. •
A DETERMINING F4►CTO R
That there is a definite relation between
the size of a community and the wishes of its
citizens regarding store hours is indicated in
a recent survey conducted by the Ontario
Chamber of Commeree.
A preference for Saturday night opening
was expressed among communities of lyes Than
'2,0(X) population. Even when the population
climbed to 4,000, there was a, preference for
Saturday night. The greater the population
the more preference -for Friday night opening.
