SPRING MORNING
Spring jumped out of -'bed one day,
Turned on the maple sap;
Then went back to bed again
And took an extra nap.
When the plaice had thawed, She threw
White coverlets ,asilde,
Let. 'out the pussy -willows,
Then swept the doorstep Iwide.
Wake the little crocuses,
To tell them it was late;
Lit the forsythia bushes,
And then sat down to wait.

FARM LABOUR IN ONTARIO
he Ontario Federationof Agriculture presented an
...LLL
important and comprehensive brief to Premier Drew
attd. his Cabinet on Friday touching a variety of topics
including the agricul'tura'l budget, farm! lalbour, Workmen's
Compensation for farm people, marketing, financing, milk,
transportation of farm products, quality prdductton, daily
11vestock reports, agricultural commission of inquiry, arm
credit,. cost of production, Ontario Agricultural College,
education, radio forums and visual education, weed control,
clean seed;. animal diseases, 'hydro electric power, soil con-
servaltiibre and lend use, feeding research, inferior bulls,
tabour legislation.
One of these dealt with the farm labour problem.
Farmers in Ontario are 'stil'I facing a critical situation as
regard's farm labour --¢Wore' so than, in other provinces
because of the Nigher demand for industriall labour Sri high
easTn returns. Thils is even enticing many farm owners to
let their farms lie in pasture or largely idle, ,while they
live on. the farad and work at more remunerative jobs in
industry- While we recognize that people in .this position
may be much better off financially under (these conditions,
we would' mike to see it possible that, with adequate farm
help, these 'farms be maintained in production,
Man good farms are being operated inefficiently
because of a reluctance to take extra help into the homes.
There is no doubt that married workers established in
connfortaible homes are the most eatisfadtory type of farm
help. There are many families who would be glad to work
in 'the country if suitable .accommodation were available.
To 'alleviate the great demand for full-time farad employees,
we suggest that the Government give full consideration to
the'advantages to be gained, economically and sooially, by
the settlement of the greatest number of farm workers in
separate houses and that this be included in any consider*
ton of assistance in providing low-cost housing units in
Ontario,
The Federation commended the Government for its
co-operation with other governments, and for the program
carried on within the Province, in providing ,assistance in
securing seasonal farm labour through the Ontario Farm
Service Force, and (hoped this program could be continued.
Concluding its Brief, the Federation started:
"We share with you the desire to snake Ontario a
greater province, where many more people can live hi peace
'and' security. We are appreci'ati've of the heavy respon-
si'bilifties• resting on this 'government. It is our wish to
lessen, rattier than to ,increase, .these responsibilities, 'and
it is; our belief that, with approplwalte permissive legislla6ion
and worse administration, farm people themselves can and
must solve moat of their own problems; and play their full;
part in the building ,of a better Ontario,"
