'•, Perhaps by the time this gets in
print• the farmers will have pro-
gressed far, enough in their harvest
to have time to read again.
Again it looks as if farmers in
Ms s' area will have a bountiful
b!gat,. ,,True, the first cut of hay
was a, bit short but in 'most cases
a, second cut will make up that
shortage. The grain erbp is turn -
jar out exceptionally well, so our
fears of a month ago were largely
unfounded.
Now that 'we have the crop,
what will we do with it? Can the
average farmer afford to take the
one profit and sell his grain as- a
cash crop? 1t seems to me that
/armors need to put more emphasis
on the production of their own
farm. To do this he needs to make
the most of that production and
get as close to the retail market as,
possible.
,His hay can be fed to dairy or
beef cattle of his own raisingu so
that when he sells milk or beef,
whatever he gets will be his own.
Some of his grain will go to his
cattle, also any balance„ can be fed
to ;• poultry ,or hogs. in this way
feed ,will be purchased only as a
supplement' to cover any slight
shortage in his production and to
balance rations.
This farmer won't have huge
feed bills running up on him when
perhaps the sale of the milk or
beef or hogs or poultry can hardly
cover •the cost,
We hear of marginal farmers
and the dangerous , position they
are in. This ordinarily means the
farmer on the poor £arm that
scarcely produces an existence.
There is another marginal farmer
who is in an equally precarious
position, The farmer whb runs a
beef, hog or poultry enterprise
on a bought feed basis. He buys
his livestock for a price and also
his. feed. He works strictly on a
margin. He is in the same position
' as the man who plays the grain
market on margin. There is a
difference. The marginal farmer
works and worries While the man
playing the grain Market just

With the enrolment of Ontario's
citizens in the Provincial Hospital
Insurance plan now in full swing,
one of the busiest spots in thePro-
vince these days is the. red -brick
building on the south-east corner
of Toronto's Avenue Road and St.
Clair Avenue.
It is now the hub of the • Ontario
Hospital Insurance plan. Into the
Ontario'Hospital Services Commis-
sion offices there are pouring every
day thousands of applications for
enrolment in the plan which begins
operating, next January 1. They
come from individual Ontarians
from Point Pelee to Dickie Crow,
from remote Indian trading posts
in the Northland and from resid-
ents holidaying abroad anxious pot
to miss the deadline of September
30, the closing date for individuals
to have protection effective Jan-
uary 1.
The rush of applications for Pay -
Direct enrolment has brought with
it one„headache , for the Commis-
sion. Many people who are quali-
fied for enrolment through a group
are so eager to register that they
are sending in individual applica-
tions as well. This has meant a
lot of extra work, including a' job
of refunding cheques ..and . money
orders. Applications are flowing
in, also, froth groups of all kinds,
ranging from small firms with onl
half -a -dozen workers to' vast con-
cerns registering thousands of em-
ployees at one time and rural
medical co-operatives. and other
associations acting 'as Collectors for
their members. It is feared, •how-

J, D. Baird, a Division spokes-

for the increased use of artificial
inseminations (1) Better quality

and (3) Possible danger in handling
bulls eliminated.
Number of calves registered as a
result of this, method of breeding
was 40,911, about the same as the
previous year.
Nine provinces reported organ-

only exception. Bulls kept in six
