FORTH, Friday, June 28, 1946 Not Too Bad One hears on every hand the im- possible lot that a farmer has to en- dure. His lack of help, his lack of machinery, his long hours and poor returns; his gamble with the seasons, and a hundred other things. Possibly it is not strange that the people, . who run down farming the most are fanners themselves. Their lard lot' and their need of ever high- erpricesfor everything they grow, is a constant complaint. The aver- age farm income, as quoted' lay the, Dominion Minister of Agriculture, is *2,000 a year. Thousands make much more than that, but, unfortunately, there are thousands of others who make much Iess. Under the circumstances' it is, per - baps, not to be wondered at that farmers keep on running dawn farm- ing. But what the farmer too often forgets is the fact that his annual income is considerably more than the • cash returns he handles. He forgets or ignores that there is no wood, no -butter, no eggs, no meat, no, vege- tables and a variety ,of 'other farm -products-which he grows, in the cash - envelope of the town..and city work- er or resident: And these are the things that make such a hole in the town, and city pay "envelope.• Again farming is a profession + that takes as much time, as much study: and as much experience as medicine, law or business, if one expects to be a successful farmer. There are thou- sands of men on farms who have no . business to be there because they do not know how to farm, and do .not want to learn. It is not an amateur's game, and there . are too many ama- teurs in it. Men who have not suf- ficient, capital to buy sufficient ma- chinery, or to buythe best stock or the best seed.. But even at that, every. ,good. farming district can point to a man who 'has overcome these handi- caps and has made a success of farm- ing. But even taking . everything into consideration, we do not believe that farming. can possibly be as bad as farmers and others paint it. Other- wise, there would be a good many thousand less people in the business. Provincial Police Speaking of the action of the town of Mount Forest, which recently en- gaged provincial officers to police their town instead of local men who are usually employed in the great majority of Ontario towns, the Port' Arthur News -Chronicle says: "The work is to be- taken over:13y......° two constables but these constables will be members of the. Provincial P oli ice.to h' T e wn'wllexpected ' beex ec ted to pay their salaries. "It looks as if there was a good idea there. The appointment of Pro- " vineial -Police to these small towns— and there have been some other in- stances—ought to be much" more sat- isfactory than the system of local appointments. ' In the first place- it Will remove the officers from Iocal politics and influences which some- times run high to the detriment of the police work. Also, as part of a provincial system', the constables will . have better contacts with officers. at " .headquarters , in Toronto and in neighboringtowns. That, in turn, should facilitate the, running -down of culprits • who in many- cases of crime hasten from one town to an- other. "Provincial headquarters is better able to select the qualified . men for the various appointments than are the local authorities and it will be possible to move them from one point to another for particular " reasons when advisable, which should be an- iniprovement on the process of die. - missal,, advertisingand selection of new officers from time to time as has... bOen, the experience in man. laces." °dell, perhaps,.

Strict regi'- - • .mentation is required in cities and large centres; in small towns, the ap- plication of common sense:.rules must' more or less prevail. There are dozens of other angles to the situation, but. one thingwe would like to see would-be t&'ne er two Provincial Police come into this town some Saturday night ` and straighten out the traffic tangle, and put in force the parking by-law. • • • • Live Longer ' Statistics kept by the Old Age Pen- sion Board of British Columbia show a gradual increase in the age at which that provinces old age pensioners die. In 1928 the average ageat„which male pensioners 'died was'7T.;,+:; in 1936 it was 78.52, and in 1944, 79:51. The average age at which female pensioners died in 1928 was 78.55; in 1936, 79.9, and in 1941, 80.16 years. Of what similar statistics in On tario would show, we have no ,know- ledge, but it is quite possible they would show a similar lengthening of the span of life in those receiving the pension in this province. Nor is that to be wondered at. The old age pension is not a princely sum per month; but it is, at least, an as- surance against want. Old age should be a lot of contentment and ease: But how seldom is it. Whether the cause lies at the door of the principal or not, poverty in old age is a 'fearful - thing fearful•thing to contemplate, or: to experi- ence, and the paying of old age pen- sions, if the system is not abused, is something that every right thinking citizen in this country should en-, courage and insist on. .1 i. Beginning To See. The Danger In British Columbia where there has ' been a general strike, of, the workers in the lumber industries, a movement is now on foot, organized by union leaders, in favor of much stronger' control -of' prices and the Joint Labor Conference is trying to secure the support of all labor unions to support such a policy. That is good as far as it goes, as it is 'a good sign when union mem- bers come to realize that high wages are not everything, because advanc- es in prices will soon catch up with the increases in their pay enevolpes What they will next have to learn and that soon, is that the main item in prices is wages. If these workers keep on askin for and insisting ongetting,la_r`gel increased wages, there is nothing on earth thatcan keep prices from ris- ing. General wage increases and ceiling prices never went together and never Will, and there .is no gov- ernment regulation that can make them • work together. - • • How To Win Elections y.. ' To - most Canadians, as well - as manypeople in some other Nations, the Russians arean unknown. g11an- • • tity. During the war years we look- ed upon them as good and staunch Allies. But since then" somehow, the situation seems to have changed a bit. • All aihnit they . are brave, and many will admit they are smooth. At least there is nothing in a recent story thatcomes from • Eastern Ger- many, which at present is under Rus- sian protection, to make those doubt- ers change their minds on that score. At a recent election in 'Berlin, the candidates were of such an unknown quality that the electors were in .con- fusion because often even the. most enthusiastic did not know for whom to cast his ballot. But the Russians, always willing to be helpful, brought out a plan that was not only simple but fool -proof: The voters' lists, they , said, would have the-Comthunist party candi- dates in the odd positions on the bal- lot, and the Social Democrats names would occupy the even ones. As the big majority of all electors were So- cial Democrats they would naturally mark their ballots listed second; fourth, sixth, eighth, etc. It just didn't work out that way, however.

Mr.oh J n Moffat, of Brucefield, rais- ed a large barn last week. The frame work of the 'Building was done by Mr. W.

I couldn't help but think of 'that today as I saw Grunter, our discontented Berkshire,- heading through the clover field., It was a warm day and I wasn't too much dis- turbed until I saw -Lazibelle's last -lit- ter also plunging 'around the clover patch in gay abandonment. ' Have you ever tried getting pigs out of a clover field? The hay is just high enough that they look like sub- marines skimming under the surface of the water. I 'carefully opened the barnyard gate and after circling. the field several times . . and_ getting them up to the gate with them manag- ing each time to slip by •• • I finally had success,. They scooted into the barnyard and I was very proud. of rayself. While I was closing the gate Grunter managed to negotiate• the hole in the fence, and back into the clover. they went. Grunter .adopted a new . tactic this time.. An the pigs managed to get sort of curled up in the centre of•''the field. I chased them, but they simply went around in a circle and very lit- tle progress was made. Just then, Silly Boy, the • • addle-pated Airedale from th'e Higgins' farm, decided to get in the fracas. He barked and barked and drove the pigs in all di - rect?'ons.. The clover was taking a worse beating than if I had left the pigs in it in the first place. If there is anything worse than a dog•without any sense and a pack of stampedding pigs in a clover patch, I would like to know what it is. I gave up finally in desperation, and the dog came over and lila!:ed my hand, 'Just then Grunter led -the pigs through the barnyard gate and up to the wal- low where they proceeded to give themselves an enamelling of mud. No doubt it was a beauty bath after a brisk workout. Grunter is almost an institution around Lazy Meadows. Bad-tempered while with a litter and•, -mischievous without one, we have put up with her long enough. Lazibelle is an entirely different matter. She. is content to have you take care of her. teed 'and welfare and in return for that she provides litters of fine, yqung piglets, Her routine is to waddle off and bur- row into the mud 'or dust, and then, rest until the 'next mealtime.. By tomorrow, no doubt, I'll -.have changed my mind. No, sir! I'm go- ing to call Ed. Fitzen up tonight and tell him to ship Grunter. After all, a nuisance is too much around the place -and she'sbeen a nuisance for too long. The only trouble is that when Grunter goes, Leeibelle will probably take over and become just as bad. •JVD' A SMitE OR TWO Johnny had spent his summer months with relatives in the country. and was describing the bountiful meals. - "They even grew their own dough- nuts," he astounded his parents by exclaiming. 0 Wh.en asked what. made him think that, he replied: "Well, Aunt Mar- tha . said they ,were raised' dough- nuts."' • Try as, hard 'as' he could, the .com- edians jokes were falling flat. At last he lost patience.• "Blimey!" he exclaimed' • bitterly. "You people don't seem to know haw to applaud. Why don't you clap?

The Society of Weather.• Forecasters halted their meteorological activities for one day and went on a picnic. A curious reporter desiring.•te know just how such a group would disport them- selves called the president of the so- ciety the next day and asked: "What happened?" 'Nothing!" came back the prognos- ticator's gloomy reply; "it rained!" • • One pay-day Pte. Stone received 50 cents too much, but he didn't say a 'word. During the week the paymas- ter found out his mistake; -so on the next pay-day he deducted 50 cents. "Excuse me, .sir," said Stone, "I'm 50 cents short this week." "You didn't complain last week." -"I3`O;` sir; I ;don't •mrnd . overlooking one mistake. , But when it happens twice then it's time to 'say some- thing?' • . Huron Federation Of Agriculture--Farm,News KIWI Potato. Tops To Control Blight As a result ,of'investigations of late rotato blight and rot in the 1945 crop tuber infection may be prevented al- most entirely by killing off the potato tops towards the latter end of the growingseason and leaving the crop on the ground for at least ten. days. During that period the spores die and cannot cause infection, even if they are n a carried on tare tubers into storage. If nthere d are no frosts, .it is 'recom- mended recom- me,..' that the living plants be sprayed with a suitable and quick -act ing chemical, such as weed killer. In any case, because of th'e almost cer tain presence of late season leaf in fection, farmers are arged to adopt top killing as an extra late blight centre]: ' The reason why late -blight tuber rot Occurs' in storage although not apparent at digging time has puizled many growers,' However, it can be easily explained, says R. R, Hurst, in charge •of, the Charlottetown Labora- tory, Actually the plants have been attacked by the blight fungus which produces a great number of spores. 'These, in turn, eonta:minate the crop at digging time, 'germinating and in- fecting the tubers in storage. Damp storage conditions favour infection, but if good .ventilation ° is provided, and the potatoes kept reasonably dry, the rot will be kept down to a mini- mumr, fo not Only y n dothe'fungus -sores require' p moisture for • germina- tion but they' quickly dry up and die in. dry air. . Potato Insects Control By DDT In experimental work and in actual field practice, DDT has proved so ef- fective against potato insects that growers are advised to use this in- secticide on their potato crop in -pre- ference to any other, states W. G. Matthewman, Division of Entomology, Science Service, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, DDT has given excellenf-control of the Colorado pot- ato beetle, the potato "ilei beetle, and the potato leafhopper, while; particu- larlyy in spray form, it has given good results against potato aphids. DDT should be mixed with a fungi- cide to control potato blight. As a spray, DDT may be combined with ..bordeaux mixture, with any of the fixed coppers, or with the newer o'r= gamic fungicides at the rate -of one pqundabf actual DDT to each 100 gal- lons liquid. As a dust, DDT is used in three per cent strength- combilied with a- fixed, copper and a suitable filler. DDT should not be used in the old copper=lime dust because the. lime in this combination greatly' -re-. duces the toxicity of the poison. DDT is available on the market, ifs dust form, with or without fisted cop- per, completely mixed and ready for use. It may be obtained also in spxaY form, either as a spraypowder or' aa an emulsifiable liquid, the- per- centage-of er-centage"of the insecticide being indi- cated ndicated on the container, With DDT preparations',' follow the same directions as for caleiu arisen.ate,- applying the insecticide fts soon as the yellow egg masses o'f ;the Gol brads 'p'otato beetle start hatching, 'three applications 'probably *ill be ettff1dtent for the 'Colorado .beetle,- but' to Control leafho}llierd, 'Rea beetles+ and blight? the :platitd ,Should be spray:.; ..� vvi ed or dust ' th DIYk'and fin n a e f, aide throtx 'Mott t the �itnririer `'1 g Until "the', t . tide' si .'ra : Tlit ,, , . o to l lits' ill a tifr6. .�. i_.n lY � Mgt .:.

Draft Horses in. Demand, At Sales In the first few months of 1946 there was considerable activity in connection with Canadian horses. At the principal horste sales in the Prairie Provinces in March and April, big, well -broken draft horses in good condition were in demand and brought higher• average prices than were re- alized at the sales •in 1945. Top price - for a single was $350, while, several other individual horses brought over - $200. The high price for teams was - $500 and morethan four teams were purchased at $400 and over. As in former years, unbroken horses and those in poor condition brought low prices and were responsible for' a con- siderable reduetion''''irf the 'average price which otherwise might have been obtained at each sale. A con -1 siderable number of horses of riding" type were sold at the Calgary and Regina sales, the highest price paid - for any kind of horse being $1,000 for a Palomino stallion at the Regina sale. Since the• beginning of 1946 up to the end,- of May about 2,500 Canadian horses purchased by the French Horse Purchasing Mission have been shipped to France. Effect- Of the War On- Sheep Flocks The nu bei " m s. of shee�P ' in the w brio have been reduced about 12 per cent to approximately 88 per cent:of pre- war, states . f: Agriculture , Abroad," is- sued by the Economics p'ivision, Do - Meilen Department of Agrieniture. HeaVy wartime damage -occurred in the Soviet Union where 27 million sheep and goats were lost out of 102V million pre-war flock, leaving about 74 per cent intact. Most of the Sov- iet Union's sheep are reared on the steppes of Asia which explains the relatively less serious injury to sheep and goats than to the other.: classes of live stock. The natural' increase of these flocks, together with the acquisitions from occupied countries may bring the sheep and, goat num- bers up to within 15 per cent or so of pre-war by the middle of 1946. Wartime and recent damage' to flocks ing occupied countries is very serious. Sheep are easily' driven on foot and require little feed except grazing *pile in transit. For ex- ample, it is estimated that about 86 per cent of the sheep in Hungary had been removed by the end of the war. Ey August, 1945, another decline was noted, and the process seemed 'to. lie continuing,. 1'hirope' as a whole, excepting the. Soviet Union, is estimated- to have 'preserved 76 per cent of the pre-war flock. In countries which have not suffered extensive war damage, the mainteiiande of sheep was easier than that of hogs, because sheep can subsist largely on grass. Nevertheless preference -for milk production instead of meat has reduced the -sheet► socks more than cattle herds. Outside of Europe, sheep numbers increased Only in South , America. There was a decrease 6, 98 per cent of 'pre-wsr fix i 1tt ' and to -86 per cent in North, America.
