,Parrrre'rs And The C.C.F
e 'C.C.II', party, we understand,
uld like very much to, if it has not
eady, enter a candidate in the
'rov`incial riding of Huron at the
coming election And, like every
other political party only much
more so—it will bring into the cam-
paign here,.as it has done • in every
ether riding it proposes to contest in
its interests; an extremely long list
of promises.
As most people know, the C.C.F. is
a Socialist party, largely led by Eng-
lish or Old Counitry men and''a few
Canadians with an English training
,sof industrial conditions in Europe,
but with little or no knowledge of
the-. farm or of farming conditions
as` we know -them in Canada.
In fact, the C.C.F. ' has recently
joined hands with labor and labor
unions,. such as the.'C.I.O:, and from
these labor unions it is now getting
the larger proportion of its funds—
and it appears to have• funds in plen-
ty with which to carry on its. elec-
tion campaign.
Under these circumstances it is
hard to see how they'are going to
get very far in an agricultural rid-
ing like ours, or a majority of the
others in ' which they have already
entered -candidates. Because it is not
hard to see that the platform and
policies which they advocate are note.
going to sell themselves to` the farm-
er
arm
er to whom they offer nothing but
greatly increased wages for farm
help, without holding out any hope
for higher prices for farm products.
Possibly they figure that is where
their long list of promises—and they
are :pastmasters in the art of camou-
flage -will come in. But °we can not
See how any practical farmer, and
ours are nothing if, not practical,
would have the slightest difficulty in
visualizing what the C.C.F. would do
to them when it started carrying out
their party policies.
For one thing, under C.C.F., farm-
ers would be ,`under the complete
control of boards who would estab-
lish prices -and would set regulations
that would .govern every farm activ-
ity.,_Simply (because the C.C.F. pro-
poses to take over complete control
of all:marketing of farm products.
For another, it is reasonable to be-
lieve that' when the different -labor
unions are supplying the'sinues of
war, in the way of funds, they will
have the biggest say in the councils
of the party, and, no matter how -
much the C.C.F.'may promise, the
interests of labor and agriculture do
not run hand in hand.
In fact the only time that labor
and agriculture have anything in
common is in times of depression, be-
cause when workers are out of work
they are unable to buy food products,
consequently the farmer is keenly in-
terested in getting them work to do.
,But when times' are more prosper-
ous, as they are today, the workers
demand more wages. -'Not wages to
spend on food, but- wages to spend
On fun and gas and other things, and
it is only a very short time before'
those higher labor wages will wreck
the wage scale on the farms. Some-
thing that has already happened.
However, we take it that our Hur-
on farmer is just as intelligent as his
tethers, tiro the . rural riding of Kil-
iarney,1Vlanitoba,: who set the C.C.F.
fight' back on their heels.in the by -
1+ ction a very few weeks ago, when'
administered a very . severe as

the'United States, jwlging by a re-
cept report oflhe atianal 4.ssoe'ia-
titan of Real Estate Boards that sane
steady farm purchasing has increas—
ed
ed pricesfifteen per cent. since 1940,
and that the price- trend is still up-
ward, because city dwellers from all
over the Otates are buying places of
small acreage on the outskirts of
-smaller cities and towns.
Possibly a similar trend. in Canada
is not as yet as noticable,:but there
is no doubt that the decentralization
of industry has already started and
will increase rapidly after the war.
The hundreds of new war indus-
tries that have- swung into being
and dotted the country, r e in the
past few years, have as rly demon-
strated that a large city T: not an es-
sential to the successful operation of
big industries. On the contrary, it
has demonstrated that the rural sur-
roundings and living conditions have
not only speeded up production, but
have provided a more healthful and
contented labor army.

A Complete Adoption
The' adoption of Italy by Germany
would now appear to be complete.
The Italian language, it has been
found—by Germany—has its ,roots
in German soil..
To commemorate, this great dis-
covery, the German Ambassador to
Rome has presented Premier. Mus-
solini with the first volume of a dic-
tionary 'which 'claims to trace.the
first Italian words to an Indo -Ger-
man background.
Having taken over everything else
M "Italy, the Germans are now tak-
ing over the Italian language. All of
which makes us wonder if Mighty
Caesar was a German, too.
It is rather doubtful,.however, -if
the jittery Italians will find- any
great consolation at the present time
in this newly discovered brother- ,
hood with the Nazi race.
However, Nazi adoptions of'this
kind are not at all a new thing,; be-
cause you will remember that Eng-
land. was similarly honored a few
years ago, when the Nazi regime
proclaimed William. Shakespeare
. "the g..reates: ppet, .cif the Germanic
people."

Hard Luck
After a fight of forty ' years, at
• long last the machine age has caught
up with the Island of Bermuda. Last
week the Bermuda Assembly, after
a long and contentious- debate, voted
by a majority of. twelve to remove
all restrictions against the use of
motor vehicles in'the island.
Bermuda was the last horse and
buggy stronghold in the world.
Motor cars were simply not permit-
ted to run on the island roads, and
even altho Governor" resigned.
from ofpic a dew years ago because
he was not allowed to have a motor
car, that did not change the mind of
the people:
- Now, however, it is all to be
changed. But not yet. Even yet
the strongly pro -motor inhabitants
are out -of luck, 'because the question
has already arisen; Where can the
civilians get the cars to replace the
buggies? It looks like pretty hard
luck after a forty year fight.

Farm Movements
Speaking about farm blocks, move-
ments; etc.,. the other day a fellow
told . us something that we haven't
yet forgotten, because there seemed
to be a good deal in it.
"He said that when he was a boy,
the only farm movemeft was with
plow or hoe from one side of the
field tothe other and back, continued
from sunrise to sunset. And this
movement, . he" " said, achieved exeel-
lent results. It would.

Meadows do•w
n 1 •
(13y• Ha ry J. Bol e)
There was' a kindly old gentleman
out here the ether day from the vil..
lags. A Mead of my, father,s, used
to visiting here in his younger days,
he comes oat here' every haying and
puts in a day just watching us• work.
He wag a. farmer himself and I sup.
pose it helps recall m.eirnories for him
when he can sit in the s'hade' of the
Maple trees and watch other people
busy.
This year 'he had company. Patri-
cia Ann came along and chattered
away to .him all afternoon. Each
squirrel running along the old rail
fence and each groundhog peering out
a hole on the side of the pasture hill
sent her into spasms of delight, An
inquisitive cottontail bobbed up to
see what was going on and by a fluke
the . old .gentleman nabbed it with his
cane. Patricia Ann 'was almost be-
side herself with the good fortune.
When I came in from the field at
nig-ht .they had the rabbit in an old
chicken pen and' the visitors had
spent a diligent two hours in putting
wire around the. pen in such .a way
that the little fellow couldn't 'get out.
Of course when I came up to. the
house, the supper had to wait. - The
two of them; both obviously delight-
ed, had to take me out to see the
captive. '
At first I was a little perturbed at
the thought of making the poor rab-
bit stay penned up in such a small
space after being used to the wide -
bit looked•, up : from nibbling on a let-
tuce leaf and then I wasn't worried
any mo' . That rabbit was determ-
ined o> j staying only as long as he
wanted to. '
1 reineibered a time when .as a boy
I had 'brought (home -a, rabbit, too. At
first he .had appeared frightened and
wouldn't eat a thing. Thep,. grew
quite fond of ,all the lavish affection
`and seemed to look forward to the
oatmeal and lettuce alai carrots
whioh we showered on him. In time
he grew very tame and we used to
take him out to show to visitors and
to play with.
The rabbit 'became a dictator in
time. He would eat •only certain del-
icacies. Both, •the dog and the cat
were very jealous of him and •took
every means of showing it. I•t didn't
bother the rabbit as long as he knew
that we were on his side. Then school
time rolled around again and we had
less and leas time to spend with him.
One nig+ht he vanished.
We• were a little sorry but didn't
bother too much. Mother started find-
ing her garden being riddled in, a
methodical way every night and then
she went on the"war path. We had
to catch that rabbit or get rid of him
in same way. The rabbit was wary.
He knew our ways and for the rest
of the year he pestered us.
I've got a feeling that about the
same thing will happen with our lat-
open freedom -bf the fields. The rab- est pet.

The Colonel noticed a long .queue of
men outside one of the stables. Each
had .a lump of sugar.
"I'm' glad to see you love animals
so much," he remarked to one re-
cruit. • "I suppose the horse you're
giving the sugar to is the pet of the
regiment!" ” -
"Not 'arf he ain't, Sir," replied the
recruit. "He's ,the one what' kicked
the sergeant."
"Hey, .Serge! Hoar did your tulip
bed comeup this' Spring?" -
"With the aid of Smith's • Springer
Spaniel!"
-•
"You must tiptoe upstairs and take
a look at little. Mary before she is
asleep," said the proud mother.
The visitor followed up to the nurs-
ery. The two looked in; there :was.
the little giri on her knees 'beside the
bed.
"Isn't that a picture!" ghthecl the
fond' mother. "Innocence, saying its
prayers to its Heavenly Father."
Just then the little girl's voice float-
ed out to th'em•: "Where in de debbil

•A .week after a small boy. had start-
ed school • he said: "Mummy, teach-
er was asking me all about you and

"I am glad' she is taking so mach
interest," replied his mother. "What
did you tell her?" "
"I said I was an only child."
"What did she say to that," his
mother asked.
"Just, 'thank goodness'. "

Huron Federation -Of
Agriculture --Farm News
The following is an• address deliver-
ed by W. L. ',Whyte over CKNX, Wing -
ham, on Sunday evening last:
"I am speaking to,you tonight as
chairman, and on behalf .of the Hur-
on County Agricultural War Commit-
tee. No doubt by now the majority
of you have heard that our agricul-
tural representative, Jim Shearer, in
our "Farming for War" broadcast of
yesterday,• announced that he had
handed in his resignation as agricul-
tural representative for Huron Coun-
ty. It was not until four o'clock yes-
terday, that I personally heard of Mr.
Shearer's resignation, and ,I immedi-
ately.took steps to convene the Hur-
on County Agricultural War Commit-
tee. This committee met in Clinton
this afternoon' at 2.30. It was the
opinion of all present that every pos-
sible effort should be put forth to re-
tain the services of Mr. Shearer as
agricultural representative. It is
hardly necessary for me to point out
that we have received the most splen-
did co-operation and leadership from
Mr. Shearer, ever since he came to
our county. Since the outbreak of
war Mr. Shearer has given his time
freely in promoting ,many organiza-
tion's to further our war effort, such
as the Victory Loan, the War Sings.
Stamp Division, Farm Command,bBri-
gades, Blood Donors Clinic, and all
agricultural` organizations. Such com-
plete confidence has been placed in.
Mr. Shearers 'ability that our whole
agricultural organization in Huron
County contres around him. There-
fore, it was the considered, opinion of
all present at today's meeting that if
we were to lose Mr. Shearer at this
time, it would undoubtedly be detri-
mental to all our 'agric'u1tur tl activi-
ties -in this county. It was, therefore,
decided to draw up the following res-
olution, to convey to the Minister 'Cif
Agriculture" for the 'Pro1rince of` On-
tario, the lion. P. M. Devalue.
I now quote to you the resolution
adopted at today's meeting: _"Wherer.

WESTERN GRAIN FOR FARMERS.
IN ONTARIO
Londesboro, Julys 16, 1943,
The Editor, The Huron` Expositor;
Dear Sir: I see in the Beacon -
Herald that the farmers of Centario-
can, get grain from the West at tha
same' price that the farmers' .get for -
it in the West.
This is what is in the Beacon Her
aid of July 14th:
"Dgn't market brood sows now, ass.
many farmers, are reported .doing Ib -
will be more profitable—and certain-
ly more patriotic—to take full ad-
vantage, of the favorable situation}
now at hand whereby Western grain
of excellent feeding quality -can be
obtained- by Ontario farmers at vir-
tually the price paid for it to 'the,
growers on the Prairies. .The:, coat.
of transportation and handling is now.
to be entirely absorbed by Federal
and Provincial subsidies. Starting
forthwith, the Ontario Government is
to pay a -sliding scale of subsidies on
carload order's, in addition to the
freight subsidy taken care of by the
Dominion Department of Agricul-
ture."
The prices that the farmers are -
getting in the West at the present
time, and the grain is at the ceiling
price, are: No. 1 Northern wheat,
$23.33 per ton; No. 2 C.W. oats,•$25.3(la'
per ton; No. 1 C.W. barley, $21.77
per ton. But the western grain is
costing the farmers, -in 'Ontario from
$35 to 40 per ton, and not the best
grain either.
..I claim that the free freight to the._
farmers of Ontario that we hear so
much about, never helped the farm-
ers'in Ontario. The price of grain to
the farmers in the West is for No. 1
wheat, $23.33 per ton; No. 2 C.W.
oats, $25.30 per ton; No. 1 C.W. bar-
ley, $21.77 per ton, while what the.
farmers in Ontario at the present
time are paying is around $35- to $40''
per ton.
Where is the Government's "free• -
freight money going to? If the farm-
ere--in'-Ontario--paid-what--the-farm,ers e ,
in the West get, and all the freight
by rail, --lo any station in Ontario,,
they would only be paying $32.33 per
ton for wheat, $34.30 per ton for oats
and $30.77 per `ton for barley.
If the -farmers of Ontario could get
the Western grain at the same price -
as the farmers are getting for it ire
the West, these farmers, in'Ontario,
will ,keep their,s� ws and not sond'
them to mar et, and. will feed hogs
to help win• he war. But we can not
buy -Western. $' atn.,at ,$35 cad•• $40. pert'' ----
