The price index of farm products ' in 'Cnada has increased from 100 in 1926 to 113 an October 1946. In , other words, the farm ,products for which the Canadian farmer received a dollar in 1926 now bring him $1.13._. h the United States. the change in the 'same period has been from 100 to 165. The Canadian farmer is on the short end of a 165:113 . ratio,, as ..com- pared with his United •States counterpart. In fairness, of course, it should be ,stated that the avehiage of all wholesale products in the United States moved up, in the same time, from 100 to 134. In' Canada, the change was from 100 to 111. Although the United States farmer must pay. more for the things he buys, lib net positibn'is much better than that of the Canadian termer. The farms are the background of Canada's pros. parity,, a fact that is brought very close to home in communities such as Clinton. If we should have a depression now, it IS unlikely that the farmer would have the necessary reserves to sheet the siibuattion, at least not to the satne extent as the American fanner. As the situation now stand's, it appeams that the Canadian fanner has the worst of the deal, and no one should begrudge him his just dues. © 0 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT , Thought for Today To drive slowly in winter is better than to be driven that May. .0 © 0 As far as this district is concerned, the war brides definitely like Canada, it was revealed in asurvey made at the Red Cross meeting here last week when they were entertained.

Louis St. Laurent unveil a (bronze plaque at the Chateau Front- enac Saturday, commemorating the Quebec : Conferences of August 1943 and September 1944, Which were iheld at • this world famous Canadian Pacific hostelry, -It was at these conferences that the chiefs of Staffs .of the alied nations mapped the overall strategy which led to victory in World War Ii, 0'0 0 During the past six years the Cattadiian poultry industry has rapidly developed on an export basis. Britain asks that a larger share of imported eggs 'arrive there in fall and winter months. As a means of guaranteeing future export contracts, the Dorrainnon Department of Agriculture advises that poultry producers make every effort to supply eggs when the biggest buyer — Briitaiin - needs' ahem. In order to do CJhis it will be necessary for poultry raisers to buy their chicks earlier than :has been 'customary' in tike past—to buy them during the month's of January, Feb- ruary or March, so as to produce the necessary gtta'ntivties of eggs to meet contract commitments.

In horse 'acing and breeding, he sees an institution. of significance, but is ever ready to protest against the turf as an instru- ment -of artful self -enrichment or un- just speculation.

BY eneafeadb HYDRO HOME, ECONOMIST Health WithinBeatty' Without" is a good motto. New year resolu- tions should include something per- taining to our physical well-being,, And that. `Somebhing" is food. The protective `:substances' which encour- age normal growth and optimum health are found in abundance in Canadian foods. IScience has roved that growth and n faeces of the (human body depends to a large extent on the food that it censumes. The ability to do good work cheerfully; the pep and; energy for •fun -- all these aredividends which conte from a wise choice of foods to make up ,our three meals a day. The protective substances iia food are the ones which .should command the greatest share of attention, They include high quality proteins, min- eral's and vitamins which contribute to strong bones, straight limbs, firth white teeth, .sparkling eyes and smooth complexions.' Properly took - ed food increases resistance to colds and other ills, by maintaining effic- iency and endurance for good work— and most important, buoyant 'health. Enough of the right kind of food is the concern of those responsible for aneals. This emphasis on quality has been brought about by a know- ledge of •nutrition. Five groups of foods have been selected. to form a complete daily meal plan. May we review these easy-to-rernember daily servings. 1. Serve 4 cups milk per child and 2 cups per adult, and cheese—to pro- vide protein for body building and repair, calcium for strong bones and teeth, and riboflavin for; growth and vitality. Note: Keep milk clean, cold and covered. Use •sour milk in cooking. 2. Serve one citrus fruit or tomatoes, and one other fruit — to provide Vitamin C, other citamins and minerals. Note: 'Keep citrus fruits. cold. Use uncooked frequently and fresh whenever possible, 3.Serve 3 vegetables (do not neglect patatoes),to provide minerals and vitamins in worthwhile amounts. Use one or more leafy, green or yellow vegetable whenever possible. Note: Use raw frequently.'Cook in small amount of boiling water. Save cooking water to use in soups and sauces. 4. Serve a 'whole grain cereal product and about four slices of enriched flour bread to provide energy and extra 13 vitamins and minerals. Note: When using wheat germ with cooked cereal, add it just be- fore completion of cooking rather than at the start. 5, Serve meat once a day along ewith 3 or 4 eggs weekly. Include liver. heart, kidney once a week. Those foods are needed to supply pro- tein for body :building and repair. Note: Cook meats at moderate temperature to retain flavour and food value. lig • , TAKE A TIP 1. Health -wise shoppers buy for food value. 2. Save food value and you save food. 3. The amounts of food needed vary with age, occupation and sex. *'* * SUGGESTION BOX Budget Record Living within your income, living according are your actual means as one of the purposes of a budget.
