No Damage Done The severe electrical storm which swept over Western. Ontario on Sun - clay afternoon was very partial to us in this central'region. Damage, how- ever, was very heavy in the southern district about Blenheim, where a thousand acres of Onions are said to have been washed out, and other flood damage was suffered: In the north about Midland excessive rains and high Water from the lakes also did considerable damage. • But while we had a heavy rain of some duration and lightning was severe at times, no damage from either resulted. In fact, Sunday's rain, and that of Monday, will be of inestimable value to the growing crops' which already -are far advanc- ed and give every promise of an un- usually heavy yield. In fact, it.lis many years since we have had such favorable weather. It is trueli tat summer seemed reluct- ant - ant to come, and even yet there is lot-tco much evidence ofit, but there has been plenty of moisture and no frost to cause any material damage. If weather for the hay and:harvest is as favorable as that for spring work and seeding, there is not much more that we could expect or even ask for—farm help alone excepted, • it Should Be fiettled We have ,noticed that a proposal has been made in different parts of the Dominion that''a referendum should be submitted to the people on the contentious question of daylight - saving. We would say that the suggestion is a good one, because the subject is one 'that generates more heat than a political election, and we believe the sensible thing to do "'would be to give the electors an opportunity say, to , express, at least, a- provincial wide opinion on the matter. There -is noquestion-of doubt but - what a large, proportion of :people in the towns and cities obtain a great deal of pleasure from the extra hour of daylight that fast time affords. If. people' are garden minded, it gives them a long evening to work in their gardens,, and it greatly encourages an added . participation in sports. To all such daylight saving is a real boon. However, there are others in 'these. cities and towns who are just as vig- orously opposed. Chiefly among these are the mothers of families; who can not get their children to bed while the sup is still ' • shining, and consequently cannot get there up an hour earlier in the morning. There , are- men, too, ' who are engaged in milk and other deliveries, who far -from approve of the scheme. In the farming=' districts there is but one opinion, and that is solidly against daylight saving time. And with ample ' reason. The ° farmer is " forced to work by the sun, not by the clock. Turning the clock on an hour will not dry upthe-dew an hour earl- ier. Neither will it enable him to expedite his harvest work by quit- ting an hour earlier in the evening, while there is still an hour or two of daylight still available. Of cause no . 'one can ' force' the farmer to quit unless he wants to, but no farmer can force the hired help to, take advantage of all the- e'vening daylight unless he wants to either. 1 Coil e' rent l.. it S nut t y ;<t is a question that permits of no compromise, .because persuasion is of no avail.

There is the political element as' well, because Wvhat we are doing and will , do for Europe in the immediate future, may easily determine the kind -of govern- ment Europe may have for a century or so at least. We are proud of our democratic government. And well we might be. We have, lived happily and prosper-. ed mightily under it. But in Europe the experience' of what we call demo- bratic government has not been a happy one, and the heart-rending trials the people in Europe are un- dergoing today are pointing to a gloomy prospect indeed. If the people of Europe see in what Canada and the . United States call - . democracy a ' kind of government that overfeeds ' its own people "arid starves its neighbors ,•' which is un- willing to sacrifice to save others, there there is little prospect of making any friends on that continent. And Can- • ada badly needs friends over there. On this theme, a writer in the New Republic, an alithoritive American magazine recently said : "American food consumption per person is now 14 per cent. greater than .it was 'before the war., If we doubled our overseas shipments, and thus ,saved _countless lives, it would still befive per cent. greater. Is it strange that the United States, .•once the shining ,focus of a stricken earth's reviving hope, is ,rapidly -be- coming the most hated nation in the . world . We ar e betraying the future. We are handing back the victory to. the dead man, Hitler, just as he pre- dicted. Only the least that -we could possibly have done, Have we •been willing to do. Unscathed within our own territory, our cities and coun- tryside unharmed by the ravages of war, in gratitude to those who bore the brunt of the struggle . 'we 'lave flung the . crumbs from our table. We' have allowed the little -minded, shrunken -hearted men . among I. our leaders to. have their way. The leth- argy of the gluttonous has'stupefied us, while in the ,halls of government, perfidy :grows .rampant and. con- science sleeps. Shall we be surprised if we learnthat the entire earth has come to hate and resent abundant, selfish, unrationed America?" There is much in that, we would say, that applies equally well to Canada. • It Helps -Canada Too The Finance Department at . Ot- tawa has announced that Canada's financial help to Great Britain, in- cluding the recent $1,125,000,000, now totals $4,950,000,000. It is a callosal sum for a nation with the population of Canada. But no one ,should complain, nor should .. some assume, as too many people -in some parts of Canada are doing, that this vast sum' aids Britain only. It has already helped Canada im- mensely and materially. And that is so •because the greater part of that money was spent in Canada: Cana- dian farmers got immense "sums of it -for their cattle and hogs, and for their wheat, their butter and their cheese. Canadian producers and manufac- turers got other sums for the goods they produced and manufactured, which Britain bought only because these loans gave her the.credit. And .. likewise it went to . thousands upon thousands .of Canadian wage earners ..- who were given employment through British purchases, and it went to Canadian railroads and steamships, and other transportation companies. Britain is not bleeding Canada as many would have it. Canada is help- ing Britain in her hour of need, but let it not be forgotten that in -doing- so, she is equally helping herself. ter k s toaf tpdem d tra Thej: ' 1p fifty and, twilnt^>tt..yeara ago. • ii ti Better Off 'on the Farm?

Joe Gant just shook his head and laid, "They won't last long if they spend their time gardening. A ,farm is for farming and not grow- ing flowers on." Joe's front -yard has been distinguished for years as hav- ing the best annual crop of burdocks and sow -thistles of any place in the township.

Orchards in Quebec show the result of the unfavourable 1945 season, and production, while larger than in 1945, will. be much below normal. In Ontario, orchards have recovered considerably from the severe damage eaused `by frost and scab` -is tire --145 season. The 1946 erop is expected to be about average, while an above- average peach crop is looked for. The -prospects for the plum and prune crop are' still in iioubt but pears and cherries will'not be as good as 'the bloom indicated because of late frost 'damage. •Strawberry production will be heavier' than • last season, the in- crease ranging from gave to ten per cent in Western 'Ontario to 20 per cent in Eastern Ontario, Raspberries are about 'the same as last year..

Oilcake Demand The tremendous expansion • in 'the production of oilcake and oilcake meal which occurred during the war years as a result of the wartime expansion of Canada's live stock numbers has continued up to the end of 1995. Al- though supplies of those by-products of the oilseed crushing industry have 9 -finer -eased smith -tile-ex-passion-o€- t}re Canadian crushing capacity, •the de- mand still remains far in excess of supply and even now the products are, in . many instances, practically unobtainable, No Immediate End To Food .Shortage JF Useful Egg Cooler and Humidifier Experimental work has shown defin- itely that to maintain the quality of eggs they must 'be kept in an atmos- phere that is both cool and moist -65 degrees "Fahrenheit temperature and above 75 per cent humidity.. A well ventilated cellar serves the purpose excellently; but where a cellar is not available the same results may be obtained by the use of an egg cab- inet—an egg cooler and humidifier in one — such as has been evolved .through the co-operative work of the Poultry Division and the Agricultural Engineering Section, Field Husbandry -Division, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa.

There is increasing' evzde•nce that the world" food,. shortage will not end with the harvesting of the 1946 crops. While relatively faw- orable crop reports have been receiv- ed from many of the famine -stricken. countries, - it is obvio>}s that produc- tion will attain pre-war levels in few, if any, of these areas. War has tak- en too great a toll of manpower, and has brought ahout Such serious short- ages of farm machinery, fertilizer and draught power that complete agricul- tural recovery is''bound to be a slow and laborious procedure,-,,..., Realization of this is reflected in long-range agricultural programs and policies now being developed by most of the government's concerned. The general trend of policy, says the Re- view,- is in the, direction of encourag- ing production -of more cereals and less live stock, based ;on -the premise that more people can be fed ,directly with grain than if the grain is first converted into, live stock. . .
