Carl Hemingway) Is Winter Here After a rather pleasant fall the first fall of snow camereminder thati dis- trict on Monday, winter is not far away. For some it will not be too pleasant, especially the farmer who must have his stock inside, which means much extra work.

"If God placed human be- ings on earth -and sustained them some 6,000 years, it is not impos- sible for Him to have done the same on other planets.

My memory isn't too accurate when I have to go back over ten years but I think it was 1946 that we had our last poor crop in this area. Ever sin e it beens justat each year's crop has a little better than the year before. This was true in the west until a year ago there was a drop n yields and this year, a greater drop.

Biblical history contains a world of wisdom for us yet so many tim- es details are lacking. go through the land crying "sur- plus" while his servants came a- long behind and bought up the wheat for storage at a "buck" a bushel? Then in the time f fam- ine was it resold to the producer at "five" a bushel? We aren't told but I get the impression that it was collected at fair price and resold at the same price and all people rejoiced at the prophecy of Joseph and the wisdom of Pharaoh. Are we heading toward a series of poor crops? Some of you may recall that once upon a time there was a king called Pharaoh who had a chief advisor named Joseph. This wise man told Pharaoh that there would be seven years of bounteous crops followed by seven years of famine. I wonder if our statisticians could forecast production reasonab- ly well? Could our governments then apply the wisdom of Phar- aoh? How will the disappearance of farm stored grain affect prices? Will the farmer, producing hogs on contract lose his shirt or his contract? In either case he will lose his income if feed prices were to jump $20 a ton. Would the consumer object to the government spending f food? to guarantee a supply Perhaps Producer Organizations shouldn't expect farmers to pay into a stabilization fund to store surplus products. Perhaps the con- sumer should be charged a sort of, tax on food products to provide • Janes Boyce, who has been home for several weeks, left on Saturday for Owen Sound.
