T FORTH, Friday, July 13,. 1945. Meat Rationing Again Canada is going to have its meat rationed again, and very soon. It does not make pleasant reading, and. Wane .people are even getting pan- ieky about it. But why should they? All through the war Canada has been the best fed nation in the world, and even with meat rationing again, it will still remain the best fed nation in the world. The trouble is that the people of Canada have no conception of the food situation in Europe, nor in Bri- tain, nor even of the meat shortage in some parts of the United States. In that we should consider ourselves fortunate indeed. In fact, because Canada has had so..much meat, and even with ration- ing., will stili have so much, is all the more reason that she should share ter abundance with other- peoples of. the Allied Nations. And, we believe, the great majority of Canadians will willingly make the sacrifice: There will still be plenty of meat to meet the needs of all Canadians if people do not get panicky, or still wore, display a selfish self interest by taking advantage of local or sec- tional opportunities to hoard meat. It was done when rationing was in effect: before. Mechanical refrigera- tion in almost every centre of On- tario made that easily possible. And, alto doubt, it will be tried again. But we have a feeling .that hoard- ing meat will not ...be as easy to ac- complish this time as last. The Gov- ernment is always learning a few tricks of its own. We even . have an idea that the same authority is going to display a great deal more interest and curiosity in the lockers used by town and country people' in the cold.....: storage plants, which have accumu- lated so rapidly in very recent years. But, don't worry about it. There may be times when we will not get alt the meat we want, but there never will come a time when we won't ..get all °• the meat we actually need, or is good for us. And after alt, we don't want to get the name of being a nation of. hoarders. All through the war Canada has been eating 861 • pounds of meat, poultry, fish, milk, butter, .other.. fats and sugar per year; while only 730 pounds of such food has been avail- able per capita in the United States this year; 560 pounds in Britain; 281 pounds in Holland, and 243 pounds in France. A strange fact shown by official figures is that Canadians are eating far more today than before the war, . despite shortages in a few foods, as our consumption before the war was only 754 pounds, whereas today our consumption' per capita is 861 pounds. All of which goes to show that a little meat rationing..will not hurt us. • °A • Little Warm—But ! It seems just a trifle warm to be •dlsQiassing snow problems of the coming months, but now is the time to take action .if the needs of the .farming communities for winter accommodation in their market towns and villages are to be -dealt with and met. At least that is the opinion of the farmers in Waterloo County, as the following despatch from the town of Waterloo last week clearly indicates): Y"Alderrmen lifted their eyebrows in prise last night when a delegation rmers appeared before council asked for the erection of a stable ere they could tether and feed than a score of years tion far bond been far n ; were il yr ry 6 IQQ kaa 1,10tlung,on flUron as. black it eat not evert egnk" e, tib t, but the fapiters in that'co'u ty are, apparently, up against the same problem that has. confronted the farmers in this dis- trict for some years., Even in an open winter there is a certain demand for stabling in ev ery town, and .-a great many places . still have that accommodation avail- able, or like the Town of Wingham, provide it. There /the merchants and the town combine and provide the use of a large barn, with feed and attendance. In Seaforth, however, there is not a single suitable building available that could be used for winter stab- ling for farmers' horses while they are doing business. In a winter like last there was a crying need for such a building and bitter complaint in the district that no move, or indica- tion of a move, was made to provide it. We have no assurance that there will be less snow next winter than there was last. In fact, we never have a winter when . there are not two or three weeks during which only the main highways are open. Consequently, there will never be a winter, even when the modern snow- plowing :equipment is in operation— and that day. has not come yet --when there will not be more or less demand for stabling accommodation. At any rate, the Waterloo farmers went about it in the right way. In- stead nstead of grouching and complaining, they went to the town council with a united demand and concrete proposi- tion. And the Waterloo council, as most councils would do under the cir- cumstances, took it under their im- mediate consideration.. • •- The Truth We heartily agree with the Brant- ford Expositor when it says: "Spank them when they need it, is the advice lately given by a Professor at New York University. Looks as though the psychologists had, come full cir- cle- Maybe it's just as well, too. The number- of rather thoroughly spoiled, not to. say ill-mannered juv eniles brought up under the "child psychology" fads of „the past few years, is already far too high." Look -about your own neighbor- hood, your own streets, and pleasure resorts where juveniles gather, and see if that is not the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the- truth. Physchology has its place in life, and a good place too, but it .seems to ihs that for some years psychology has - brei, used as an excuse by far too many parents to get out from under the duties and responsibilities of par- enthood, and leakre thein to the teach- ers of public and Sunday schools. That thatakind of psychology has not worked, and never will work in the best interests ' of childhood, is apparent on every side. Children are roaming the streets at all hours of the day and all hours of the night. Quite unchecked, they are doing things and saying things that aston- ish even the hardened policemen, and yet the parents remain unknowing and uninterested, or imagine it will come out all right in the end, because their children have far more sense than others, and as they grow older wily automatically turn over a new leaf, as it were. They won't. The newspapers and police courts are full of the fruits of that kind of psychology. Like ' the twig, a child's mind is bent to respect authority in: its youth', and if it doesn't learn theta and under its own parents, it never will. And on of the best ways of instilling respect for authority in children's minds is, as the Brantford paper ...says: "Spank them when they need Australian Thanks (From Australian News Letter) The Australian minister for customs (Senator Keane) recently visited Canada and the United --States on lend-lease •business and on his return declared that the extent of Canada% contribution through the Canadian Mutual Aid Aet is not as widely appreciated as it should be. -"We Shall not forget Canadian generosity nor the. friendliness and warmth of the hospitality e>ztended to the many thousands of young Austra- 3iade who have passed through Canadian instrue tft ii centres„" hei said.

J. B. Priestley, champion of a dif- ferent age, er is it a new age, said a few days ago: "We should have production for use instead of for pro - fn."; Nobody has yet described this pe- culiar animal- Weread. about the humming birds of Brazil, the kanga- roos of Australia, the many varieties of fish beneath the tropic seas,, but there must be an enormous number of people who haven't the slightest idea of production for use and not for profit, and strange to say the least informed, are those who talk the most about it. Things are produced because they have a use. If they have no use what would be the object of produc- ing them. 'drat is meant by these makers of° phrases? ° Ah, I know, some people want fan- cy "hair -do's," costume jewelry and ornamentation of dress. What do people" seek in this world—pleasure and enjoyment, and if people do not get it out of these things why do they pay for them? They are, there- fore, so far as the wearers are con- cerned, purchased for use, Mr. Priest- ley to the contrary notwithstanding. When people are well dressed they are more efficient. If you want to hire a good stenographer pick one who wse..rs her clothes as if she were proud"rrf them. "Careless of" dr_ess— careless of words" is a general rule. Where now, in this age, would we find a woman who wears clothes merely for use, solely as a coverfor nakedness, merely to shut out both cold and heat? What is generally considered as profit, constitutes payment for the a use of buildings; machines and equip- ment eni,Ppoyed• in the 1?roductiou of goods.' Here la a vacant lot, a build- ing is erected, machinery is install- ed, production begins. A part .0Y the selling price represents payment for the use of machines: Undee-socialism the same think will happen.—the con- sumer will pay, in, the price of the things he buye, for the use of the machines which produced them. The socialist does not want to do this but he will have to do it neverthe- less. You may be a very efficient em- ployer, There may be no bottle -necks in your business, employer-employee relations harmonious, health condi- tions satisfactory. You pay your workers more, -they earn more. Pro- fit, in this case, may come, as pay- ment for exceptional ability, capac- ity, to direct the work of others, so that they produce more with less ef- fort. What guarantee has Mr. Priest- ley that this quality will be enhanc- ed when incentive ceases? What reason is there to believe thate would, in that way, get great- er v ire for our dollar? If not, then production for use map mean that the consumers of the nation will give more, get less. Profit is a measuring stick, an incident of good service. Profit' provides evidence that the man who' runs the business knows what he is , doing. Will those who speak so frequently of production for use, and not for profit, tell us just how much extra they expect to get for their dollars underthe' new sys- tem? Are .they sure that under these conditions they will have more dol- lars?, There's the problem in a nut- shell. JUST A SMILE OR TWO He: "See that big substitute ball- player down there on the bench?

Huron Federation of Agriculture--FarmN ws Growth of Interest Farm Radio The' remarkable growth of farm ra- dio forum.in Canada has called public attention ,to the widespread interest that Canadian farming communities are devoting to the advancement of agriculture in the Dominion and to the Canadian way of life. At the con- ference on adult education in Can- ada, recently held at Winnipeg, it was made known through the report on the progress of the national radio forum that nearly 1,000 rural study groups participated in the meetings across Canada during the past win- ter. The total number of meetings held by these groups during the forum season was more than 10,300. Over 80,. different kinds of action projects under, way were reported by 'the study groups at .the close of the season. A third of the study groups reported that their particular actions projected had been completed; 28 per cent are still under way, and 32 per Gent of the groups are planning defin- ite projects for the future. One of the outstanding action projects re- suiting from farm radio foruhr was the development of county veterin- ary services in Nova• Scotia. Projects under way in other prov- inces include the establishment of co- operative creameries or other co-op- erative enterprises, better health in- spection, consolidated schopl units, and such like. In one farm forum rally in one county in Quebec,' ' nine farm forum -groups reported upon their season's work, eight of the groups having definite projects under way. One of the, projects completed was a new modern Creitniery. Forum countries of fertilizer chemicals, in- cluding the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Norway. More than 80 'countries draw sup- plies' from the pooled production of these manufacturing countries, and the allocation of 'supplies was made to the various countries according to their food requirements. The ravag- ed European countries are at pres- ent in greatest need for nitrogen, phosphric acid and potash fertilizer, as the most effective means to en- able 'them to grow their own food, and thus preserve the peace. In this respect it is a matter of satisfaction for Canadians to know that at least 50 of the countries will obtain their much-needed supply of nitrogen from Canada. Allocate Supplies of . Allocation of supplies of fertilizer material ,for use in food production throughout the world was Made at the recent three-day meeting in', Qtte. ben City tYf the t1iternattenai Vett, tiliner Comii'ilttee Which coon 'atilt til der the Cn6ibined t♦"oad and Cetnbfrt, ted R`, .., at �aw r it Boa t& e is I111a ds of ; tie �; � its' i t T:�n edbt `a alt tis. li+���e��t\iefi e'•,tti� •itit9eft in'g VVb . ,.. t'e tie �;ritiai'ipeti »i'bd�'aing co-operative Fertilizers 'Production of fertilizer chemicals 'in Canada has increased by leaps and bounds tri the past four years under the ',Fertilizer Administration; and in .nitrogen production Canada no4v leads the world in exportable sup - Piles, .particularly of the -three basic fertilizer materials, ; iIphate of am- monia, ammonium i, trate and cyana- mid. Total exports of these three materials to the countries to the countries to which supply has been allocated will .approximate 700,000' tons in 'the fertilizer .'trade year 1945- 46. Of that quantity, at least fifty of the countries will be using Cana- dian nitrogen. Irrom the supplies allocated by the Committee to Canada, the farmers of Canadawill gel their mixed' fertilizer, nitrogen, phosphate and potash ma- ter`lais next year. „The over-all sup- ply will be no gieater' than in, the present year, so thatefficient distrl.- bution for essential purposes will need to be continued at least for -an- other year. • Ergot In Grain The disease Of ergot in grain. fields Often. originates trim lnfetited .grasta es rdWIng 411611g'hea.diaiirlg•an'd reddy> side`.'hea.tix+f gi`a, '`b sla'dllId be 'cut soot . after e ;came *i'itrs;;,'o'dr 1be� (bltitred;i�titn f°oi .. - Eleyated To Arh.d. gagon Canon W, A.
