KIRKWOOD YOUR WORLD AND MINE (copyright) Iir a Canadian newspaper I, saw nob long ago the story of a man who had! been foreman of some industrial firm I in Orilla', He lost his' job, and could' not persuade himself that he could' find another one, because of condi- tions. He did not want •to be idle,. and so he found himself a small field -it could not be called a farm—near ; Orillia, and started in to produce honey, to" breed a few sheep fori market, and to work for .neighbour-; iiig farmers by the day. He has 16 hives of bees, and expects next year' to have 30, and has sold over 2 tons of honey -the gatherings of his bees last year. He is paying his way.' His wife is his cordial co-worker. There is one small child. This man reads much about bees, sheep, certain phases of farming, and about live stock, He reads more than any other man known•to him on sub- jects pertaining to his business. He owns that firs reading has been a large contributor to. his success. He is• quite happy; so too is his wife. He and she have lost all fear of unemployment. They have independ- ence, and the outlook is one of brightness.' I cannot but think that this man's way of escape from anxiety and un- employment is one able to be taken by literally thousands of young mar- ried persons now living in towns and cities, with employment never sound- ly assured to them, with pressing financial worries, with a rather hopeless outlook for themselves and their children. We are reading rather frequently of families placed on small fartns--10 acres or so, and malting good. It is true that these families have been assisted by societ- ies, to get land, to build houses and out -buildings,. to buy seed and im- plements, and to get going. Also, they have had expert guidance. These families 'constitute a Community, so that they can have ihtercourse•with one another, and their children can go to a. convenient school. If our grandparents and our great grandparents were able to start on nothing, and to make steady progress with few implements and utilities, then it seems to the that young peo- ple who are willing to live on farms all ready for cultivation should be able to do as well as did the pioneers of 100 years or so ago. It is chiefly, a natter of ,mind and will. The op- portunity to start farming is as wide open today as it was a century, ago, In the early days farming'was a self-contained way of living. Money twos rarely seen or handled. Surplus farm products were exchanged at stores for certain things of neces- sity. Women wove: the cloth needed, you came here.

They did not sell milk or butter, Everybody worked, and the combined labour joined to content- ment enabled families—large ones— to. make steady progress --even to establish the foundations of a degree of affluence. It is true, of course, that as prosperity came, these pione- ers began to soften their hardships, and that the children began to flit from home—to go • to towns and cities, Well, all this sort of exper- ience and history can be' repeated to- clay. • at all.

Owing to circumstances which need not Inc gone' into, these three classes of• people had smrken into a state of completedespair, peonage and illiteracy. They worm be- ing "gypped" at every turn,: They were in financial bondage apparently hopelessly. They bad beeonie embit- tered, Life was wretchedness front etre year's end to the other. Then began that most amazing movement sponsored by Sit.'

I shall assume that my readers know something of the marvellous develop- ments of the free enterprise among Nova Scotia farmers, ruiners and fishermen. They have delivered themselves out of their bondage. They are happy -hearted and vision- ful. They have cash incomes ad- equate for their simple needs, they have roads and schools where afore - lime there, were none. They have begun to build themselves new homes —to replace the shacks which were ugly beyond the power of 'words to describe. One does ,not know what will be or not their children will bo content, to carry on what. their parents have began sc wonderfully. But what may happen; in the future does not matter much. What does matter is: these Nova Scotians, right before our: eyes, have solved their economic problems and are having an undreamed of measure of social comforts and en- joyments. What has been done in Nova Scotia can be done in Ontario, and, may be done in Ontario, When we have'lead- ers, prophets and priests like Father Tompkins and the principals of ' St. Xavier ;University. It may be harder to getegoing in Ontario than in Nova Scotia, for the lot of our people in Ontario is in- comparably better than'was the lot of the communities where Father Tompkins began his ministry of re- demption. it takes cruel adversity. to make a people ready to submit themselves to the teachings and com- mandments .of their leaders. A1sa, it takes oneness between husband, and wile to make a success of an enter- prise eimiliar to that of the Nova Scotia farmers, fishermen and min- ers. These Nova Scotia people contin- ued in their original'occupations; they did not all 'become farmers. But each group became a . unity; individ- ualism was intolerable and vroul'd have been disrupting. That man in the vicinity of Orillia might be farther ahead everyway to- day if he had fellowship in a pooled or cooperative enterprise of the Nova Scotia pattern. But he had . and has the. Nova Scotia 'spirit -which is to save himself, without extreme de- pendence on outside sources of aid and sympathy. Rightly or wrongly I feel -that the majority of our young people in Ont- ario are city -tied: they have not the courage to leave the city and their present manner of life. They are handcuffed to the Joneses, and must keep up with this sinister family. Both husband and wife want soft- ness—want motor cats, want the movies, writ bridge, want the froth of interchanged visits. All about us are young persons wanting to get married, but are kept back front mar- riage because of inadequate income. And all about us are young married persons immersed in 'indebtedness and professing to be helpless in re- spect of this indebtedness. Yet they continue to live beyond their income —buying frivolous things on the in- stallment pian, 'and binding them- selves about with fresh obligations. They dare not look into the future, fearing its terrors. And the employ- ment of the breadwinner is precar- ious. Let it be granted that "the city bred and the town -bred wife lacks the mind and the experience required to make small-scale farming toler- able and adequate from a subsist- ence point of view; also that the husband is handicapped by Iack of experience and money.. Yet the way out of the bog in which do many are mired is the way of the Orillia man. His way is also the way of ultimate content.

I Prices for good lambs have been very satisfactory. until about August 1st when many farriers, no doubt tempted by prevailing prices• daring the last week in. July, began to market lambs that should have been told on pastures for at 'least a month, and in many cases two months. An oversupply' of poor lambs resulted in a serious drop on all lamb markets, and while the sit- uation has partly corrected itself, the market is still sensitive to weak- ness if producer's continue to market undesirable Iambs. IAs a rule lambs from the more common domestic ' breeds of sheep do not finish for market at farm weights under •90 pounds to 100 pounds (80 to 90 lb. at the market). Before selling- lambs it is always wise to use the scales. This is,par- tiouiarly important at the present time so that the sale of underweight lambs may be avoided. Good early lambs are in demand at all stocic- yar'd centres; packing plants and city markets. Lamb meat is an especial favourite in the home, -at' tourist centres, and in hotels and restaur- ants. When it is said that lamb is a, popular meat; this means good to choice lamb from well finished car- casses. Light, unfinished lambs do not produce the kind of meat that is relished by tourists or by the Canadian people. Poor lambs are nob good sellers and are unsatis- factory to,all sections of the trade,; including' the consumer. This year pastures are excellent all ova, Can- ada and there is no farm aminal that puts on cheaper gains than the growing lamb on good grass, A111 farmers can increase the value of their lambs by a closer check up in we}grits and marketing at the right time.

SUMMI7R'S gorgeous sunsets are splendid snapshot material, and sunset pictures are easy to tale, whether you have a simple box cam- era or a high-grade folding camera with ultra -fast lens, Charming silhouettes of persons can be made with the sunset as a background, and sunset shots across a lake or stream, with reflections, are remarkably beautiful The effect of a sunset is heightened by a good foreground,such as a "frame" of trees or overhanging leafy branches. In the country, try shooting the sun- set with a piece of farm machinery silhouetted against it. A plowing scene, with straining horses silhou- etted against the sunset sky, makes a successful snapshot. One of the most important points, in picturing sunsets, is to obtain a strong, vigorous cloud effect. Good clouds are often better than a rlot of brilliant color, at least for black - and -white picture purposes. In many cases, a more striking result will be obtained if you place a color filter over thecamera lens. The. filter brightens its own colors, :run dark- ens its opposite or complementary colors. When in doubt, shoot one picture with the filter and one with- out. A good sunset is worth an extra shot or two. Either chrome type or panchro- matic film is excellent for sunset pictures. Short exposures are dpslr able, in order to subdue detail in the foreground. If yours is a box camera which has a choice of lens openings, use the smaller opening. With rapid - lens cameras, try an exposure of f.16 at 1/50 or 1/100 second, If the sunset is quite bright, and you are shooting across water, you may use an open- ing as small as 4.22. Watch the sunsets—keep' your camera loaded -ready for action-- and you will add many a charming snapshot to your collection. 199 John van; Guilder.
