Food seems to have heer. iu thr
spotlight around Ottawa — with
many announcements. concerning an
item which takes about a third
of every family income. The war
has put a lig strain on our
country's productive capacities.
This is shown by. figeres that
food production is now more than
25% above pre-war le eels. l4og
tuarketings are up 60%0, cheese
50%. Feed grain acreage shot up
23% to meet live stock and daily
products increases. That means
our producers have to work harder
and be ingenious. The department
of labour statistics show a net
decrease In male farm workers
during the period Ma"ch 1939 to
March 1943 of 350,000, At the
latter date hale family help only
averaged 121 workers per 100 farms.

Pay increases recently announced,
tie up with the strong campaign
radiating from Ottawa all over
Canada to induce more women to
take their places in the services
and release men for active duties.
There are some 311,775. women now
enlisted, but 'they say they need
55.000 more. In •other fietds 'women+
are needed. ' High priority plants
