Of interest' is a summary of the
agricultural production objectives for
1944, as drafted by the -Dominion -Pro-
vincial conference held at Ottawa re-
cently. They contemplate no change
in wheat over the 17% milliona`iacres
of 1943. Coarse grains will be up 6
per cent. in oats, 1 % in barley. Rye
remains the same, but busking corn
figures show an: increase of 53%. No
change in hay and clover, nearly 10
million acres. Rye, down half a mil-
lion, or 13%. In the oil seed crops:
flax• seed down 36% ; , sunflower seed,
50,000 acres up by 73%. All tobaccos'
have an increased objective, highest
being burley, 53%. In the dairy pro-
ducts they figure no change in total
milk; creamery butter down 3%, also
cheese 7%. Eggs and poultry meats
will have' an upward trend. Fruits
are all up, apples •showing 24% with
15 million bushels and leafy green
•vegetables increased 39%. .Maple sy-
rup, over 3 million gallons, is upped
31%; and honey will be asked to ,give
more volume. With 14 million pounds
sheep wool is asked .to increase by 3
per cent. ass
Any woman who has looked with
despair on her dowdy, .old-fashioned
wardrobe and wished she knew what
to do with it, needs the inspiration
at her home in Sault Ste. Marie.

A . little highlight on mutual aid for
*943=44 fiscal year for •which Canada
as agreements with the U. 'K., New
Zealand, :India, Russia and Ceina—
and soon with the French Committee
of National Liberation and the Brit-
ish West Indies. Canada will deal di-
rect with all her Allies, sending with-
out charge Canadian food and muni-
tions for, which they,,bave made com-
mitments beyond theirj' ability to pay.
However, in the care of the United
Kingdom, cost of servicing Canadian
troops in Britain and Italy is credited
to Britain's mutual aid account in
Canada. Ships, planes, automotive
vehicles and munitions, under mutual
aid which will 'have any salve va-
lue, may be returned to us after this -
war..
Of interest to farmers: E. S. Arch-
ibald, director of the Experimental
Farm Service, says that producers of
Canada's foodstuffs are paying income
taxes in small numbers, not of their
own choice but for the -simple rea-
son that the earning power in labour'
income on the average farm, even
with the free labour of wife and chil-
dren thrown• in, is little more than
that which industi•y and Governments
pay to a Grade 1 stenographer. .
During the fiscal year 1942-43, there
weie 1,197 cheese factories in Canada
which received a premium on account
of having manufactured cheese scor-
ing 93 points or higher, • • - Grasses
and legumes are relatively high in
protein and .low in •sugar, a factor
'which adds to the difficulties of mak-
ing them into good silage. . . • The
supply of" potasbavailable for fer-
tilizer purposes in Canada in 1944 will
Trot exceed 35,005) tons, which is about
80" per cent. of -that used in 1943, and
c�a,emand,wiil be up; so rationing is in
etlect so that more farmers will get
their fairshare; this will not affect
the tot01 tonnage"of fertilizers avail-
able. - - . Wholesale prices for Cana-
dian farm productai,•moved up gradual-
ly in November to reach a peak level
(index) of 104.5, compared with 103.8
a month earlier.
' The Board of Control has reco-
mended to the city council of" Ottawa

Prime Minister Smuts of South Afri-
ca cannot visit Canada this year as
expected, but may be able to do so
next year. . . . 417,865 blood dona-
tions have been given at Red Cross

Horse racing isn't. a picayune, busi-

figures man surprise you. During

ed„at 32 horse •race meetings in
(rnada over 283 days of racing. It
was• nearly eight million dollars more

We're getting caught up on the war
in Canada. Recently 'certain restric-

ed thely have enough old tires and
tubes to meet the needs of the Crown
Company handling them. Improved
tungsten Supply is also improved.

17 million bushels of oats and seven
million of barley, from the September,

ters will have to be replaced. Besides
automobiles, radio sets, washing ma-
chines, electric refrigerators and a
tremendous number of household lux-

produced since 1940. The field will be
a wide-open one.

On the same question as the para-
graph above, a brief presented to the
House of Commons Reconstruction
Committee by the Canadian Construc-
tion Association says we will need
300,000 houses built in the first five
years. Cost and construction voluune�ee
first post-war year $450 million, to
$500 million; second year, $650 mil-
lion; third, fourth and fth years, $800
million each. A gr•os's construction
volume of $300 million a year, it,
was estimated, would give employ-
4ent to 287,000 persons in actualop-
erations and contributory industries.
At $800 millions the total would rise
t) 767,000, They asked for immediate
rrei aratiori: of complete plans for
both private and nubile post-war con-
struction programs• to be ready for
calling tenders "at an hour's notice.”

"'The Canadian Red Cross Society is
really a people's organization, because
it is now getting the voluntary assist-
ance of 24096,600 persons across Can-
ada. Imagine, just under seven mil-
lion prisoners of war parcels had been
packed from January, 1941, to Octo-
ber 31,-1943. The estimate for 100,-
000 parcels a week in 1943 would cost
thirteen million dollars, but it is sure-
ly worth it!
