.Huron As Host
Huron County was host to many
thousands of people from other coun-
ties
and provinces, as well as from
abroad last week, when the Interna-
tional Plowing Match was held with-
in her borders at Port Albert Air
Field.
And, judging from tie countless
remarks we overheard from strang-
ers, Huron fulfilled the duties of host
with real tact and hospitality. Visi-
tors seemed to be impressed with our
' farms, their .buildings and their fer-
tility, as well as by our villages and
towns. It was new country to many
of them, but all were favorably im-
pressed, and many will -come •back
again.
Unfortunately the weather for the
International was not, as favorable
as it might have been. • In fact the
final day, Friday, : was practically
rained out, and the three preceeding
days were rather chilly' and •moist at
times
As a consequence, the attenance
suffered, but nothing seemed to
daunt the. ' enthusiasm of the well
over the one hundred thousand .who
attended. The competition in every
plowing event was keen ; the work
excellent, and the display of farm.
implements, labor-saving machines,
-honsehrzld goods and gadgets, the
greatest ever assembled in one place
in any County in the Province.
Even the weather had one redeem-
ing feature. The rain broke the dry
spell that has beejri 'with us more or
Iess all . summer. Wells were dry; :.
farmers' were driving cattle to wa-
ter. Pastures were gone and fall
plowing was next to impossible. But
the rain cured all • that, which is
really just about as important as the
International Plowing Match, which,
after all, may be given weather bet-
ter suited to its liking and . needs,
when -it is held again next year in.
some other comity.
Too Much Time?
Labor today has almost reached
the stage where it will only ,work
eight hours a day and, forty hours •a
week. That . means that out of the
168 hours in a week, the worker has
128 of .them to spend as he pleases.
Put in another way, out of the 365
days in the year, the worker has
' some 277 days' holidays:-:•
They have, in fact, so much leisure
that they really don't know what to
do with it, and as a consequence they
are becoming both bored and dissat-
isfied. And no wonder. Heretofore,
Most of the people of the earth need-
ed all the time there was to get en-
ough to eat. Consequently their
work was important to them and ab-
sorbed all their attention.
It is different today in this ma-
chine age. The machine does the
work, -and time hangs heavy on the
Workers' hands. It is said that after
the great fire, in London, a stone
mason was asked what he was do-
ing, and his reply was: "I'm helping
Christopher Wren build a cathedral."
He was happy building a great cath-
edral, Under the direction of a great
architect. -
Where is• the workman today who
would, or truthfully could, give the
same answer to a similar question?
Instead, of saying he was helping Mr.
Ford or• someone else build an
'
.auto-
mobile,xheI In to build a combine,
e,
or some other labor-saving, machine,
most workers would say they were
putting countless nuts' on the coinit-
less' bolts that came down the' as-
s mb
�line '
and hate every
minute

earlier •days, but time hangs too
heavy on thelia hands. ;
More than half a •year is not too
much time for a worker to have at
his disposal to do with as he pleases,
if he knows how to use that, time,
as other workers in history, who be-
came famous ' through •work 'and
study performed; in their off hours.
But with time to study, or Iearn to
accomplish new things, how many
workers of the present age will make
the effort? Not many.
Isn't that one of the main reasons
of the unrest in our society today?
There is so much free time that Iife
has become extremely boresome.
There , is a constant -hunt for new
"pleasures, ,new entertainment, new
thrills, new sensations, . more and
greater license, not liberty.
Lock Them Up Together
A farmer friend writes: "Since
• the farmers are large buyers of the
products of urban labor, and urban
,labor is a large buyer of farm pro-
ducts, and since both these groups
are demanding more money for less
goods when they are selling, and
more: goods ` for less money when
they are buying, it would be a good
idea to lock up all the labor leaders
and; all the farm leaders in a room,
give them a staff ' of competent cost
accountants, and an economist or
two, to explain what it is that makes
the wheel's go round, and say to
them: `Here you ..are, gentlemen, and
here you stay until you can • agree on
a proper basis for exchanging labor
with each other.' "
• Possibly that might be a good idea.
Because with these professional lead-
ers of both parties out of the road
for awhile, prices and wages might
shake themselves down to their own
proper levels. , • -
Strike Losses
Labor strikes are very much like
wars. Neither side wins. This was
very forcibly brought olit in the re-
cent Steel strike, that practically
paralyzed Canadian industry this
summer, and will still have a crip-
pling effect upon it for some months
to come.
If the members of the striking lab-
or union had it to do over again, we
wonder how many would vote for a
strike. To start with, they were of-
fered a 10 cent an hour increase -in
wages. If they had accepted that
there would have been no strike;
prices would not - have jumped to
meet the pay increase, and the strik-
ing workers would have been ahead
by an amount they lost. by the strike,
and in addition the ten cent increase.
Instead, at the command of their
leaders, they went on a three months'
strike to gain a 13 cent increase.. •In
this strike, every strike worker suf-
fered a money loss of $500, and any
strike pay they may have been given
for picket duty or something else,
either came, or will come out of their
own pockets. And 'their gain was 13
cents an hour in wages.
Even .if they could save. the whole
13: cent increase, it would take five
years to make up the direct loss they
incurred lir wages through the
strike. But because" of . this strike
and others, prices, have jumped and
will continue to advance, with the re-
sult that the 13 cent increase gained
by striking, will be eaten up in high-
er prices and their loss of $500 each
will never be made up. And that is
pretty : much thea picture in every
strike.

PFIIL QSIFgR of •

We went to the circus the other!
day. It's a strange thing, •but a young
fellow came along a month ago or
so and asked if he could post some
bilis on the old shack over on my
grass 'farm on'the next sideroad. You
see my property faces on the side -
road, but it runs up to the conces-
sion.
I' couldn't- see that there was any
skin off my nose simply if they put
up a bill saying that such and such
a circus wast coming to town. It was
quite a simple thing to say that the
barn was all theirs. As a matter of
fact, the shack or barn, as you might
say, would be protected by the paper
of the circus posters-.
He was quite a nice young fellow.
When they got through putting up the
circus bilis, he came back and thank-
ed me and handed "me a sheaf of tick-
ets. Hemuse have..been-. careless -he,.
cause there seemed to be enough fcr
our family, as well as the most of
the people on our. concession, To be
perfectly honest with you, .it. gave me
a sort of a kick to say to' somebody,
"Like to go to the circus? Okay!
Fine then, here's a couple of tickets
for the big circus in town.” I guess
human nature is the same, no mat-
ter where you go,
We went to the .circus. It was cer-
tainly •a wonderful experience. When
you get older I guess you get as
much kick out of - watching the young-
sters as you do out of anything else.

On the other hand, there's an atmos-
phere'
tmosphere' Created by the appearance of
the people with the circus, the tents,
the big banners•, the animal acts and
the smell of onions and hot-dogs fry-
ing to give you a thrill. That doesn't
say anything about the 'sound of those
fellows trying to get you to go into
a tent where there are dancing girls,
snake ladies, games of chance, and
the best. collection of oddities. in the
world.
Like most country "folks I made up•
my mind not to get taken in by anY
of the circus sharpers. I did pretty
well as a matter 'of. fact. • I resisted
the temptation to prove what a suck -
dr that fellow was with the three
shells and the peas. I was quite cer-
tain I could show my eagle eye and
put a ring over all the faeicy things
displayed •in • one tent, but I resisted.
I'm telling you, nobody could possibly
put- anything ever- on Lie:
Wewent into the big tent and
everything was .going fine. I wasetak-
ing -particular delight out of Patricia
Ann, and then it happened. The fel•
long' in the ring was cracking h!s whip
and the tigers and .lions were jump-
ing around doing exactly What h"
wanted them .to do. •
• A fellow came up and: dangled a
piece of cloth and cheap fur on the
end of a stick. He dangled it in front
of Patricia Ann and asked, "You want
one of these, don't you, dearie? It's
a wonderful monkey."
I paid two dollars •for it!

Assured Market for Beef Through 1948
• Canadian beef producers and feed-
ers are assured of a market for all
surplus beet until the end of 1948,
says the Dominion Department of Ag-
riciilture, following a recent an-
nerificement by Hon. James G. Gard-
ineDominion Minister of Agricul-
ture, of the extension of 'the Cahada-
United .Kingdom beef agreement. The.
Department said that the price would
be firm at present levels until the end
of 1947, and that the United Kingdom
has offered to take up to 120 million
pounds in 1948 at prices not less than
those in : effect prior to August 19,
1946.

Soon the farm animals and the poul-
try will have to go into winter quar-
ters. If^ the .•buildings are clean and
sanitary the live stock can be more
easily kept in good health and with
good healththey will work better Or
produce more.
• It is not a big job to put the bind-
ings in a sanitary condition; white-
washing will de. The surface to be
whitewashed should be free from dirt
or grease. Just before applying the
whitewash dampen the surface so
that •the wash will not set too quick
ly. If a sprayer is used, in prefer-
ence to a brush, be sure to strain the
whitewash through two or three lay-
ers of -cheesecloth, A good disinfect-
ant whitewash •can be made by add-
ing one or two ounces of•'carbolic acid
to each gallon of whitewash.

wash of different kinds may be ob-
tal'ned by writing to Dominion Depart-

Puzzle of Tussock White-M••arked Moth
The survey of the white -marked.
tussock moth in the Martine Prov-
inceshas presented a new problem to
forest entomologists, In 1945 'there
was an increase in the numbers of
this insect but without an outbreak.
I0 1946 a further large increase in
numbers resulted in considerable de-
foliation over extensive' areas of
Southern New Brunswick (and North-
western Nova Scotia. In the defoliat-

fact has been denionstrated that• the
