CHRONICLES
Gwendoline P Clarke
of GINGER FIRM . .
Here • is a little bit `of ,infor-
mation that may interest farmers
w so are wondering where help is
coining from to take off this year's
crop. An employee of a city plant
told tis 'that men and boys who
previously owned or lived oil farms..
are now being laid off .right and
left, and' of course selective service
is sending them back to the farms,
Some of them are glad enough of
an opportunity to get back to the
land -others are not so happy. It
remains to bc seen how many will
really settle down again.
* *.
How often that age-old problem
presents itself —.'how to keep the
young folk on the farm . how to
make farni life sufficiently attract-
ive so they will want to, stay. Per-
sonally, I don't think the answer
lies so much in«the farm as in the
young people themselves., Some of
them want to farm - others do
not. Proof of that can be found in
any average farm family. Naturally
home conditions are the sante for
Aili•as for John, yet John develops
an unrest which only a job away
from home seems, to Satisfy, while
Bill is quite content to till the. land.
He takes an interestin Dad's pure
bred cattle; he asks nothing better
than to be given the responsibility
of driving and caring for the trac-
tor; and as he . ploughs up ' and
• down the field his thoughts leap
ahead to the time when he will be
farming on his own. Conditions on
the farm may not be quite as . he
'would like them at present, but he
has • vision and he looks forward
and figures ou' ways and means of
making improvements --.. shorter
hours. more conveniences.
* * *
John, on the other hand. gets a
job that pays big money. But it
isn't long before he finds that the
money isn't so big 'as he thought-
it was. There are so many deduc-
tions from his pay ... it costs ran
awful lot of board ... and when a
fellow eats out even an odd snack
costs a quarter .. not like at hums
where the cookie jar was always
kind of handy, And of course a
fellow has to have some fun. I -Ie
kids himself along by thinking
what' a dull time Bill is' having"—
the dope and how little he gets
for all his bard work. And then one
week -end a home there was Bill
telling -him about the Victory
Bonds he has put away.
"You've got Victory Bonds,
Bill?"
"Sure — come in mighty handy
after the war. But you have some
too, John .. I remember you say-
ing SO."
"Yes," said John slowly, "I did
have but I cashed them in ... had
to that smash with my car
had to have a new engine. It cost
me plenty,"
Poor John , . he had to learn the
hard way. It may be that .after he
has savoured city life for a few
more years 11 , too, may realise
that there is more than hard work
to be found on a farm. There is a
freedom that is found nowhere
else on earth. And 'it provides
greater opportunity for, initiative
than many z City job. On the other
hand, alth-'ugh the going may be
tough, John may eventually find
his niche in the business: or •pro-
fessional world he may never re-
turn to the farm for more titan a
visit. But' that 'will not be the fault
of the farm or farming conditions
- it will just be the natural order
of things. Farming is Bill's way
of making a living John's choice
is something entirely different:
What road. every Bill and John will
follow can only be determined by
giving each one a chance to shift
for himself. Aad in so doing we
need have no fear forthe future of
agriculture.
Love of the land is too deep-
rooted in the soulof man or it
ever to die out to any great ex
-
tent: As long as. the .human race
survives there will be farnmers,, --
successful farmers, wlio till the
land from choice '- not by coin -
pulsion: I have no figures to prove,
my theory but it is my'opinion'that
among the dnsgecessful'fanners of
this, or any 'country,'we shall find
men,' who fir their youth were vic
tims of overbearing parential
authority and made to stay on the
farm against" their will, ploughing
the land while they were eating
their heart out to be a mechanic •
coiling hay while longing to join
the -navy milking cows and wish-
ing for wing's• to fly,
Youth is a' time of unrest . , , and
after a' war, when men have seen,
co much that they wish. to forget,
is also a time of unrest, Thatis.
something we. should' all do well toy ,
remember. Rehabilitation is some-
thing in which we all can help --,-

Soapiest; Soap
A. "soap" which is no soap at all
will beused in kitsiiens and bath
rooms after t the war. Technieally
it a detcrgept or wetting agent.
It looks like soap and cleanses like
soap, but it has new merits.. It.
works: as well in bard or salt wat-
er as in soft; .and no ring is left
around the 'bathtub, because the
salts founditt hard water, gener-
ally lime, do not reabt with the
Asoap" to form an insoluble curd:•
• Molecule is built up of an ;oily
part (coconut oil) which will dis-
solve grease and a salty part that
dissolves in water. The oily end
of these detergent molecules does
not react, with the salts found in
hard water to make a curd.
The Hun
There is a little Dutch • poem,

should be kept in mind today:

But when he climbs and 'holds .'the
