CHESNEY, Clerk 12-b Farthers' Help Required To Solve Labour Problem Farmers should; do;all in their power to help solve the serious farm labour problem as it exists today, ✓ Gerald E. Nelson, Clinton, assistant o • agricultural representative for Huron County, stated in a radio broadcast over OKNX Saturday noon. The broadcast was as follows: "From time to time we attend many, meetings both in our own County and elsewhere. We go: to these meetings; some of us take part in the discus- sion; others are just there as spec- tators, some interested, some disinter- ested. These meetings' are always called with some' particular purpose in mind, and it takes the ideas, sug- gestions and recommendations • of those present, in order to cover adequately the subject under discus- sion. We know how easy it is just to sit and listen to some one lecturing, but how mncli of the lecture do we actually take home with us to ponder over and some day possibly put into practise? There is' no better way of learning more about some particular subject than by attending meetings in large numbers to talk and discuss it with your neighbours. We know farmers are busy with their own work, but when an agricultural meeting is cal- led concerning their particular phase of farming they should put forth every effort to attend. Too often are meetings poorly attended, after the executive has gone to some trouble •incases. securing a guest speaker in some The time has come when we must get out and look after our own wel- fare, for there certainly is no one else. willing to volunteer for such a task. I may sound rather critical, but actually it is true that too many farmers remain behind stage, criticiz- ing conditions, belittling the govern- ments' efforts on their behalf, and in general, expending considerable en- ergy that could be much used in bring- ing .their points to the fore, at meet- ings, discussion groups, etc., where some action might be taken. So'farm- ers, let us become conscious that agri- culture is on the march, and so par- ticipate one and all 'in whatever capacity we may to develop our knowledge of our particular farm business.

This reduction oc- curred largely in the returns from wheat. On a geographical basis, slight increases are shown for most of the Eastern •provinces, while substantial reduction oeeurred in this Prairie es Last Wednesday, I attended a Reg- ional Farm Labour Conference at Guelph where representatives of the Department of Labour, National Em- ployment Service, Agricultural Repre- sentatives and County Agricultural committees, met and thoroughly dis- cussed the farm labour situation for this and following years, The picture presented, I regret to say, was not very encouraging. There is not a particular tendency for dis- charged servicemen to take up farm- ing, possibly because the farmer can- notcompete with the wage level in industry. Now, with the ever raging cry "Feed the Hungry Millions," the farmers have just as much respon- sibility in maintaining the peace, as our gallant boys had in winning the war. Every effort and co-operation possible will be expended through the Department of Labour, National Employment Service, Fttr m Service force, Commando Labohr, and as a last resort western farm help, to see that all possible farm labour be u ilia t ed, One farmerspeaking on "Respon- sibility of the Farmer to Labour" sug- gested that economic conditions on the farm must be improved to be comparable with the modern well- equipped urban home. If the farmers had more money to inrtall these con= venienees the above solution would be partly solved, he said. The trouble we can't get help on the farm is be. cause we are not in a position to pay the wages to induce labourers to leave industry and cone back to the farm, he continued. Alex McLaren, speaking for On- tario Farm Service Force, stated that the greatest effort of any, put forth during the war years, would be re- quired this year, from April on, if labour requirements were to be met. Possibly some farmers will be inter- ested in the regulations regarding student labpur this year. All grade 13 students are to remain in school until Departmental exam- inations are completed. After this time, fartn service can recruit help from these students under their plan. All grade 12 students and under, are eligible promotion i • g e fo r p ono n to higher grades, if they conform to the edu- cational standards, and on or after May 23, help may be recruited from their numbers if conditions warrant it. Farm commandos who performed so gallantly•last year by lending a help- ing hand to their farmer friends, may be organized again this year if Texpenses • . Two-thirds of the ex erases iu- curred in the organization of such brigadesin any district will be gov- ernment paid. In comparison to a few years ago, farm.workers now must be of a skilled nature, in order to keep pace with the increasing numbers of mechanical contrivances, and the improved meth- ods of livestock eth-ods;of'livestock and crop production. Through the training the school work- ers receive while working in these camps, they are greatly benefitted for later farm work and might possiblj+ be an excellent source for the badly needed skilled workers. Western farm help, which last year provided much needed assistance May again be resorted to, but should only be used as a last t i oso•t. It was urn- • ima att usl agreed at,i y g tl s meeting that careful selection of individuals par- ticipating in this reciprocal movement most be empto ed he close, the !about; pi•ol•'c•nr is solved to the fenmer's door, the more general smoothness and regularity the plan will have.. The labour problem concerns everyone...men, women and children and close co-operation among all concerned is absolutely necessary. There are National Employment¢ Service offices serving every farm community. May I suggest that the. farmers requiring farm labour this year place your orders with your near - t office. They are there to help you Provinces. • a nd only when you make you' needs Packing Plant Tour Today and Tomorrow Huron County Hog Committee has arranged a most interesting and educational tour 'for interest- ed farmers, to the Whyte Packing' Plant, •Stratford, on Thursday..

Lower Hog Production Seen During This Year The Dominion Bureau of Statistics estimates that the downward trend in Canadian hog production which be- gan in the spring of 1944 would con- tinue through the first half of this year on the basis of the number of sows bred to farrow. Indications were that the spring pig crop, would be approximately nine per cent smaller than last year, with most of the decrease in the Prairie provinces. Ontario, which has assumed the lead again as the most important producting province, shows an ex- pected increase in the spring pig crop of more than 12 per cent and Quebec an increase of 8.5 per cent, ,,',THERE IS NO OTHER, TTOBACC���Cpp0" OLD CHUM .
