HULLETT On Monday, March 9th, the Fire- side Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Taylor with 23 adults present. The topic was "More Attractive Farmsteads." ,(1) Of course farmers and their famil- ies admire and appreciate an at- tractive farmstead, and realize it adds to the beauty, attraction and value of the community. To own such a home adds to the confidence and morale of the people and fre- quently helps in keeping the young people on the farm, (2a) Farm home improvements that can be made with little cash outlay include cutting the grass about the house, having neat fences, nailing loose boards on barn,• outbuildings, gravel lanes, plant flowers and shrubs, clear orchards of dead limbs and trees, place fawn implements in sheds or near barn when not in use, using paint for trimming if a little outlay would make much improve- ment. (b) As to the costly iln-, provements they can be made grad- ually if the individual's finances permit. (3a). The forum members have made improvements in the past three years and when they have money to spare will, no doubt, make much more. In the thirties farmers had such a struggle to sur- vive many places were so sadly in need of repairs that only lately could they spend much for beauty and now again farm prices are fall- ing in comparison with their outlay. '(b) A rural beautification project would serve a very useful purpose in this community. Many haven't spare a honey to spend on expensive improvements. Farmers have a heavy outlay for necessary ex- penses.

INDEXES SHOW iMPLEMENT PC` AT LOW LEVEL OF INCREASE That implement prices have been kept at a low level is clearly shown by the comparison of Dominion Bureau of Statistics index figures, which give an increase iii "all commodities" since 1941 of 82.3% as against an increase in a comparable index for Massey -Harris implements of only 66.5 'x. This low percentage of increase, too, is shown in the face of an increase in the index figure for materials of 93.9% and of Massey -Harris hourly rates of pay of 165% as can be seen by referring to the chart shown above. Also, the indexes show that while farm implements have only increased 66.5% there has been an increase in the price of farm products of 93.3°0 and the scarcity of farm labour has caused farm wage rates to climb to 175.3%. The partial absorption of the increased costs of materials and labour has been made possible by the continued great world demand for farm mechan- ization giving a volume that permits a low ratio of selling expenses and high operating efficiency in manufacturing.
