S. ATKEY,, Editor r A. L, COLQUEIOUN, Plant Manager THURSDAY, MAY ,3, 1951 Our Most THE OMINOUS SHADOW of ; war once more hangs over Canada and the grim news of, casualty lists brings sheep pangs. of sorrow as we learn of yoeng Canadians who will not return to the country they. have served so well, and yet so inured do we become .to sad news that we give scarcely a thought to the deadly toll of accidents exerted: from the .nation each year. Official casualty reports indicate that dur- ing World War II 41.371 members of the Can- adian Forces lost their lives. Total casualties amounted to 104,925, During the same years, accidents in Canada claimed 38,561 lives and snore than 150,000 people were critically in - r .jured. • Let us get clearly in our minds that the persons killed • and injured in accidents are just as truly casualties as those who were, killed an action during the World War II or veho are now being killed in Korea. Those who cause or are responsible for these casualties are con- tributing to the welfare of our enemies. This Tragic Loss killing' and .maiming of our citizens and the destruction of property, particularly in traffics, • accidents, is as serious to our nation's future as if it were caused by our enemies. The essence of traffic safety is contained in three words: Engineering; enforcement; and education, The first two fields are clearly the, responsibility' of public servants but need the strong support of citizens to be fully effective. The field of community education in safety is one in which many Boards of Trade and Cham- bers of Commerce are actively engaged and whichneeds much snore development if we are to cut down our national accident toll. AU coarununity organizations can, assist in, this im- portant work of making people ;'accidenvt can- scious" and helping them to think in terms of safety on the road, at work and in the home. All of us have an obligation to do what we can to see that this slaughter and destruc- tion are stopped or at least lessened, as a neces- sary and vital contribution to the welfare and growth of Canada. The 1951 Agricultural Census BEGINNING JUNE 1 this year, a census enumerator will visit each of the 730,000 farms in Canada to obtain answers to a series of questions about the farm. The last census of agriculture for all Canada was taken in 1941 and far 'the Prairie Provinces in 1946. .Many farmers will therefore have had prev- ious experience in answering questions on the agricultural schedule, but for some it will be 'the first experience. The schedule for 1951 has been shortened considerably. Most of the questions are straight- forward, such as acres devoted to crops, num- bers of livestock on farms, and inventories of equipment. Some questions will require esti- metes by the farmer, such as value of his farm, and value of the home garden. These ques- tions are sometimes hard to answer but the information is of great value and is needed for adequate appraisal of the agricultural in- dustry. Farmers will also be asked the num- bers of animals sold off farms, production of crops in 1950, and certain major expense items. No attempt will be made to obtain a balance between expenses and receipts; in fact, many of the questions of this nature have been drop- ped from the 1951 schedule. It must be emphasized that the census enumerator is duty bound to obtain a report about every farm in Canada, and each farmer is asked to co-operate by, being prepared to give him as accurate e statement as possible. Entunerators are pledged to keep all in- formation given them confidential, as are also all employees of the Bureau of Statistics. The law provides penalties for any violation of this pledge. Further, the Bureau of Statistics mey not divulge the business of an individual to any government department nor to :anyone outside the government, Every .farmer thus may feel assured that the information he gives about his farm will not become known to any persons except those who handle the census schedules in the course of their official duties, and that it will only be used in 'statistical compilations where its identity entirely disappears. City Wages and Farm Labor HOW CAN WE KEEP LABOR on the farm 'when urban industry offers so much higher wages for so much less work, asks, The Rural Scene. The trend of migration from the farm to •the city has been going on ever since the palmy days of Rome; but the farm still remains the one source on which we can depend for the perpetuation of the human race. It is true that as city life becomes more and more attractive, the trend cityward in- creases. But there are counteracting forces at 'work. There is Iess drudgery in farm work than there used to be. Though the farmer does not have a five-day week, he does have more free time then he did twenty years ago; and his opportunities for improvement and recreation have also increased. As he finds it harder to compete with city wages, he is also finding ways of doing with less hired help. Even in the raising of live- stock and poultry. one men with modern equipment and improved methods can do much more in a given time than was possible a few years ago. It would not be desirable to stop this trend to the cities even if we could do so, for the farm needs the city quite as much es the city needs 'the farm, About three generations is as long as the average family can stand city life, and if the cities could not draw on the • farms for new blood, they would soon deteriorate, and their deterioration would work to the detriment of the farmers. The secret of suryival in a changing world is to adjust oneself to the changes. Most 'farm- ers are doing this, and those who don't will stagnate and drop behind in the race. But the live ones • will survive. The farmer has less to fear from the short- age of farm labor, than from the danger of himself becoming a hired • men on his own farm, taking orders from the state or from some agencies the state sets up to direct his operations, and make him conform to some- one else's plan. Plantations and Predators (Ontario Department of Lands and Forests) PREDATORS COULD BE the factor that governs the success or failure of your plants,- don lantation of forest trees. New plantations of all species are suscep- tible to indent damage until the bark around the base of the trees hardens and so becomes unpalatable to the pests, Damage is especially severe where the sod is heavy and the grass long. Of the rodents, the common field mouse is one of the most destructive, The heavy sod and long grass is a very favourable habitat for the mice and they apparently find the tender bark of the young trees a welcome change in diet. This rodent works under the snow, and so damage to the plantation is not usually discovered until Spring. Slight injury is sometimes caused by other rodents, some or which are: rabbits, porcupines, squirrels and chipmunks, but under normal ciroumstanees 'these can be overlooked. The trees in the new plantation could be protected, with heavy wire screening or the mice could he controlled by poisoning. These forms of control would prove too costly and especially so, when similar results could be obtained at no cost by natural means. Predators such as: owls, hawks, foxes and weasels feed chiefly on rodents end will pre- vent them from reaching numbers sufficiently large to cause serious damage to plantations; but the predators cannot fulfill their role in nature if man interferes. The death of one owl or hawk at the hands of en uninformed or careless hunter could leave the rodents in your area free of natured control for years. Predators are one of the most important factors in the control of rodents and are in- directly 'beneficial to your plantations. We should make a greater effont to protect and entourage them to frequent our farms and forest tree plantation.

With a cast of 40 composed of members of the Lions Club, as- sisted by eleven young people of THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE It is often claimed that what we need is more Temperance edu- cation—make it known the harm that liquor is doing. Whoever reads the newspapers knows a lot about the woe that goes with liquor—the accidents and deaths on the highways caused by drunken drivers—the crimes:that are committed when men are un- der the influence of liquor. Sur- ely everyone knows the menace of liquor. The trouble is that men's conduct is not always gov- erned by their knowledge. They ned to know' and then beyond that they need the will power to say "no".—Advt. 18 -le the, community, the show featur- ed black faced comedy alt its best. songs, jokes and comedy skits.
