,(By John Atkins, Farmer -Journalist)
No. 5—"THE FARMERS' SPOKES-
MAN"
What do food growers require?
Who. can speak for farm people?
Food growers require a national
agricultural policy that will:
1. Recognize the fundamlental pa-
ture of food and land, and farm peo-
ple, and the importance of, agriculture
in our national economy; --
2. Establish a fair balance between
agric ilture, labor and .industry;
3. Provide a syistemiatic marketing
program designed' to feed our mar-
kets both at home and abroad in an
orderly and efficient manner;
4. Develop a production program
shaped according to the needs of a
marketing program, and designed to
give our farmers guidance which will
enable them to plan their farm pro-
gram at least two years in advance;
and .
5. Recognize the principle of a two -
pace policy. This means that prices
of farm commodities in the domestic
market must bear a proper relation -
stip to cost of production and cost
of living in Cpla,da, even though it
ma,y be, necessary for our exportable
farm products to go to the world mar-
ket at a lower price.
Thus speaks the authoritative, non;
apolitical voice of the Canadian Fed-
eration of Agriculture which includes
the great nnarjority of all farra organ-
izations in Canada with an affiliated
membership of 350,000, representing
one-half of Canada's farm homes.
What de fond growers require?
They require Canada to make up its
mind about what- it expects of its
basic industry and, 'having made up
its Yhind, to make At possible for fatal
people to produce w -that Canada needs
•" for home consumption, for British
and allied, 'aid, and for foreign trade.
Who can speak for farm people?
The farm people of 'Canada can spealin
for themselves through their own na
tionral organriza.tion which is a fed•era
tion of farm organizations represent
Ing all cla"ssee o'1` food' growers In all
parts of Canada.

GUARDING QUALITY
A Fact a WOE
About Canada
Prom this Deoliks lin
et litotioNoo
'A woman worker in t'ie Browns-
burg, P.Q., small arms ammunition
plant is shown inspecti,rg shells.
Canada is now turning out shells
and bombs of all sizes in large
quantities.,
tions which have been successful in
promoting better farming metheods,
growing better foods, breeding better
livestock, co-operating in better mar-
ketin•g, and in working with other
Canadians and with governments in
the betterment of agriculture and of
Canada as a ,whole.
The Canadian Federation of Agri-
culture is to Canadian. -farm people
what the Canadian Chamber of Com-
merce is to Canadian business people.
It is a means of creating understand-
ing through contact with other or-
ganized groups and a means of edu-
cation to its own members. It is al-
so a means of education to other Can-
adians, all of who must understand
the place and importance of agricul-
ture before they can understand Can-
ada's vital economic problems.
Through the Canadian Federation
of Agriculture the people of the towns
and rural communities of Canada can
learn how they can serve their com-
mon interests and ensure theproduc-
tion of Canada's food supply. The
farm organizations in every district
and locality are contributing their
ideas to the cfommon fund .of knowl-
edge' which produces the policies, of
the C.F.A.
fire members .of these farm organ-
izations are in daily contact with
their town neighbors and are' con-
stantly exchanging ideas with them.
They are farm people with various
1i'dlitica] opinions who see the wisdom
of keeping the Canadian Federation
of agriculture out of politics in or-
der that it hay work with and
through any and every government—
dorni.nion, 'provincial and municipal—
to further the best interests -of food
growers, The best interests of food
growers are identical °with the inter-
ests of those to whom they sell and
from whom they buy—all other Cana-
dians. (The address of the Canadian
Federation of Agric iltuiie is Booth
Building, Ottawa).
No. 6--"A CHANCE TO LEARN"
A nationevide discussion of Can-
ada's food supply problems will be
open to every'•Ca.r.+adian with eyes to
see and ears to hear during this fall
and winter.
Every Canadian who can possibly
do so 'should set aside 9-9.30 (Ea Stern
Daylight Saving Time) -to learn more
about Canada's food supply and how
it can be maintained.
Never before have the people. of any
country had such an opportunity to
gain knowledge of a problem which
vitally affects personal well-being, na-
tionalsecurity and the world future.
t anad.a can grow and give and sell
food in sufficient quantities to tip the
scales of war and peace. What is
essential to that achievement is sure-
ly'ef first .importance to every intelli-
gent Carlad•ian in country, town and
city.
Canada can sustain its agricultnrc
as a war-winnipg industry and as a
post-war shock absorber or it can
cripple wartime food production and
create a posit -war burdens of farm
bankruptcy. Which "Canada will do
depends upon the extent of under-
standing co-operation between food
producers and food consumers in Can-
ada. There cannot be understanding
without knowledge of each other's
problems.
Continuing each Monday evening
until March 30, 1942, the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation will broad,
cast thought-provoking, dramatized
discussions sponsored by the Cana-
diat Federation of Agriculture and the
Canadian Association for Adult Edu-
cation, which will be known as Farm
Radio Forums.
These radio discussions are intend-
ed to prime the pump of discussion
which will draw knowledge from tine
experience of all Canadians. They are
intended to stimulate study and to
point to sources of information.
In the rural -communities farmers
will gather .in forum groups to dis-
cuss the problems outlined in the ra-
edio presentations and to check the
ideas offered with their own needy
and possibilities. In town and city
homes thousands of interested listen-
ers will tune in as they did last win-
ter. The problems presented and the
solutions proposed will be amplified.
and interpreted in the editorial col-
umns of• the press whidh in its cur-

which judgments are based.

PEANUTS
•Oan you remember the last time
you enjoyed a good big feeds of anachis
hypogaea? Perhaps it was at Christ-
mas time when you oveir-indulged, de-
spite your avowed intentions • to eat
sensibly. Maybe it dates back to the
last hockey ggaxne when you sat on
the edge of your seat and munched
feverishly bettween outbursts of
"Stott!" and "Get that man!" Or pos-
sibly you.,are in the habit of buying
some regularly, either in the shell or
salted down. At any rate, you and
several thousand other Canadians
managed to make away with almost
47 million pounds of them during
1940. What are we tailing about?
Why peanuts, of ,course!
'Generally considered to be natives
of Brazil, peanuts were introduced to
the European shortly after the dis-
covery of SoutliiAfrica. It ie believed
that they were brought to this con-
tinent by the negro slaves imported
from Africa, and it wasn't long be-
fore the cultivation of peanuts. was
widespread throughout the Southern
States. The plant belongs to the leg-
gumes family and requires a hot,
humid climate in order to thrive. The
nuts themselves are really the steeds
and are fornedl underground like .pot-
atoes. Under ordinary circumstances
about 50 bushels of nuts and two tons
of straw are obtained from an acre.
Here in the New World, peanuts .are
ers at work in the east and west.
Every community bas its own food
,supply problems. Towns situated in
agricultural areas must supplement lo-
cal products with the products of
other food -producing areas, domestic
and foreign, to a greater or lesser ex-
tent. Some Canadian towns and cit-
ies must bring all, or nearly all, of
their food some distance. However,
it may be situated no Canadian town
can find all of the foods for the var-
ied Canadian diet in its own district.
Every Canadian town depends upon a
well-balanced, properly -sustained Can-
adaian agriculture for its basic food
requirements. Every Canadian de-
pends upon a maximum Canadian food
production as a means of national de-
fence. •
Farmers are faced with acute and
vital problems of labor -supply, cost
of production and means of produc-
tion. These problems -must be under-
stoo'a by all classes .of Canadians be-
fore they can be solved. Every read-
er of this newspaper can help solve
them.

Last year. ()anode imported over
600,000 gallon's of peanux oil, some
edible, some 10 be utilized in the mak-
ing of soap and canning fish, but. so
far the largest part was in the crude
state for refining. Peanut oil is often
used as a substitute for olive oil, and
is of each excellent 'quality that few
people can detect the, difference. Most
of the peanuts we get are imported in
the green state from India and China
and are roasted here in. Canada.
Peanuts have, been: grown in Can-
ada under careful ,supervision, ,simply
as an experiment, but the "season is
not long enough or hot enough to al-
low the seed to fully mature. Most
of 'the nuts produced have been ex-
ceedingly small arsd of inferior qual-
ity. So there is small likelihood of
you every being able to go out to the
garden and dig yourself a bag of pea-
nuts.
Tasks
We always enjoy doing what we
can do well. Too often we undertake
tasks for which we are not prepared,
and we find that it is the dullest drud-
gery. We use all our energy trying 'io
cover up our inefficiency; whereas,
if we are ready for the job, we
should be able to enter into it whole-
heartedly. And the . better we are
prepared for the task, the more
pleasant it will become.

."Bell Mechanized Division" was
in an early stage of develop-
ment. A fleet of Model "T"
trucks guarded long distance
lines, built new ones; went into
action in emergencies. Then,
as now, mobile, well-equipped
Bell Telephone units did their
bit in the vital field of com-
munidations.

When mechanized armies
