Seaforth Nominations
Seaforth citizens on Monday eve-
ning nominated 25 of their number
to represent them in various muni-
cipal offices. The meeting, which fol-
lowed official nominations, attracted
an attendance greater than usual,
there being, by actual count, 92 per-
sons in the hall, at what appeared to
be the time of peak attendance. This
included, of course, a goodly number
who were not ratepayers.
After serving the town for fifteen
years, first as a conscientious and
capable councillor, and during the
past two years as chief magistrate,
Mayor J. E. Keating announced his
retirement. He will be. succeeded by
Dr. E. A. McMaster, who was elect-
ed by acclamation when the only
other nominee, Councillor E. H.
Close, resigned his nomination. Dr.
McMaster, who was first elected to
the council in 1947, has served on all
council committees. In the light of
his enthusiasm and his interests in
the town, the citizens can be assured
of a continuance of the businesslike
and ,objective approach to municipal
problems that has characterized the
tenures of office of Seaforth Mayors
in the• past.
Seaforth will continue to be repre-
sented at Huron County Council by
Reeve F. S. Sills, who received his
fifth acclamation when Councillor B.
F. Christie, the only other nominee,
resigned.
There will be an election for Coun-
cd, nine of the 11 nominated having
qualified. All members of the 1950
Council, with the exception of Coun-
cillor J. A. Stewart, are permitting
their names to stand. Councillor
Stewart, after two years capable ser-
vice, withdrew because of other du-
ties.
'The position of Public Utility Com-
missioner is , being contested by
D'Orleon Sills and Frank Kling,
while for the first time in many
years electors will be called upon to
select a School Trustee, when John
Stevens, present trustee, and Dr. P.
L. Brady qualified.
An encouraging sign in the nomin-
ations was the number of the young-
er and capable residents who offered
their services on behalf of their com-
munity. While youth in itself can-
not be considered a determining fac-
tor, this coupled with ability and a
conscientious desire for selfless ser-
vice cannot but have a beneficial ef-
fect in the conduct of municipal af-
fairs.
In selecting their representatives,
voters will no doubt bear in mind the
desirability of choosing those who
have no axe to grind, who are sin-
cere in their desire to advance the
interests of the municipality, and
who in the conduct of their own af-
fairs have proven their capacity.
There should be no place for the
demagogue or for the individual who
approaches each problem in a nega-
tive way, or " from the standpoint of
bis personal interests. Criticism in
itself is good, but criticism designed
to tear down, to delay and to make
abortive the work of council, can do
much harm.

.Agriculture In
Canada's Economy
Canadian chartered banks provide
a•litte known service in the form of
monthly letters, wherein are discuss-
ed the relationship of various por-
tions of the Canadian 'economy , and
matters,a!ti'ng the business
ei t" the Royal
ice agriculture
onolny, and
the . extent to which the lives of all
Canadians, are affected by it,. '
°Farming is everyone's business,"
the letter says, `not only because it
furnishes our dail r food but because
it is the base of so Anany industries
and so much of Canada's trade and
commerce.
"Agriculture is- our most import-
ant single industry. It employs a
quarter of -our gainfully occupied
population. The economic welfare of
the whole nation is affected by chang-
es in farm income and purchasing
power.
"City people have quaint ideas
about farm life. They see a farmer
living in his own house, without rent
to pay, growing a big part of his own
food. He is free to work as and when
he pleases. He need never fear un-
employment.
"These things are true, but the im-
pression turns out differently if we
follow a successful farmer around
the clock. Success in farming is the
result of clear thinking and skilful
management, and a great deal of
hard work.
"The man on the farm is the force
that welds land and equipment into a
producing unit. He plans his crop ro-
tations, attends to the fertility of his
soil, balances his livestock program
with the feed available, controls ex-
penses,
uses labor and machinery ef-
ficiently, and finds his market.
"Not all this is to be learned in
books. Farming is an ancient occupa-
tion. It has gathered round it a vast
fund of wisdom and skill, transmitted
from father to son on the thin air of
oral tradition or of living example.
We must not underestimate the
worth and power of this body of
rural lore and technique.
"There are probably no instru-
ments known to any craft which are
more perfect in their adaptation,
with more fineepointea,upon which suc-
cess or failure depend. than the sim-
ple implements of modern farming.
The shaping of the mouldboard of a
plough so as to give maximum efilici-
ency with minimum effort is a prob-
lem of the utmost nicety.
"Farm management involves the
joining together of principles and
facts from many sources. It requires
an understanding of basic economics,
af;_everal natural sciences, and of
applied sciences such as agronomy
and animal husbandry. The farmer
needs to adjust his farm operations
to the varying conditions of soil and
climate ;he must have in mind the re-
quirements of the market, his costs,
and the development of his farm to
meet the needs of next year.
"There are no blueprints for this
kind of efficient management. Keen
thinking based on sound information
and planning based on the farm's re-
sources and limitations frankly fac-
ed—these are the essentials of good
management.
"One's standard of living can be
what one wishes to make it: the prob-
lem then is to reach it. To most peo-
ple it will seem as if the farmer has
greater chance of reaching his stan-
dard than have most city dwellers.
Many of the things for which city
folk yearn are commonplace to the
farmer, not as superficialities, but as
the realities of everyday living.
"Nature, with which the farm fam-
ily has so close contact, is straight-
forward and sincere. There are,
consequently, fewer artificialities in
the rural community. Associations
are highly personal, so that pretense
is practically impossible. The farmer
is accustomed to saying what he
thinks and meaning what he says.
"But the farm cannot hold its
young people unless community life
can be made attractive, social life
agreeable, and income comparable
with what would be earned in cities.
There needs to be opportunity, too,
for intellectual and aesthetic enjoy-
ment, for health services and educa-
tion.
"Farming is not static, but spright-
ly. The farmer is a man versatile and
resourceful,, able to decide what is to
be done next, out of a great pressure
of duties. His work has more variety,
more room for initiative and self-
direction than the work of - a city
artisan or foreman. All this is ac-
companied by an ancient and single -
eyed simplicity of purpose.

New York is a sort of rushing,
shuffling and serambiing mass of
people, who talk out of the sides
of their mouths and who believe
that nothing exists outside the con-

fascinating experience and a weary-
ing one The visitor has the im-
pression that some gigantic hand
has stirred the whole place up and
will never let it slow dawn.
Everything is big. The station
is a great maze of floorsaid tun-
nels, and just when you think you
have found an exit you ,land into
a bar, or restaurant, or a barber
shop, away drown deep in the bow-
els of the earth. Thousands of
people are either coming to New
York, or else they are leaving at
the same time.

The taxi drivers chew gum and
slouch in the front seats, of their
battered up vehicles. They wait
for you to get in and then before
you sit down they roar off down
the street, only„ to land in a hope-

for blocks. At the first sign of an
opening they whip through it and
with a great dexterity manage to
get you to the destination. They
wait silently until you pay them,
and .merely grunt at you, although
they'll certainly remind you if you
manage to give them _what they
consider to be too light a tip.

It moves with the shuffling of
thousands of feet. The sounds are
those of a hundred dialects and

There's the sound of ho king

roar, mingled with the blare of
music from dance halls and bars,
and the screech„ •of re;ord-players
in open air 'Stores that are like

The street vibrates with a roar
and you become aware of the fact
that thousands of people are mov-
ing along on various levels under-
neath you. There's a smell of on-
ions and frying meat and fish, and
people are congregated at open-air
booths eating- and drinking coffee.
Beggars shuffle along, and lim-
ousines pull up to theatre doors
to let people in evening clothes
out for the shows. A dragon
snorts real steam; a cigarette ap-

and it's all a part of the land of
make-believe.

Are There Enough Doctors?
(Winnipeg Free Press)
In a statement the other day at
Edmonton., Dr. T. C. Routley, of
Toronto, the general secretary of
the Canadian Medical Association,
said that Canada now had nearly
14,000 doctors, a little better than
one to every 1,000 of population.
Ten medical schools in Canada
were graduating between 500 and
600 doctors each year and gener-
ally speaking, he said, these
schools were meeting the reason-
able demands of Canada as a
whole.
To anyone in Winnipeg who has
tried to get an appointment with
a doctor, however, it must seem a
fair question as to whether the
present supply of doctors is sue
ficient. And in rural areas, where
the supply of doctors is much less,
per thousand of population, than
it is in the cities; the statement
must seem even more debatable.
True enough there has been a
'fairly steady increase in the num-
ber of doctors. in Canada Out it is
equally true that as compared
with 30 years ago at least, it has
not kept pace with the increase in
population.
Dr, Routley placed the present
ratio in round figures at "a little
better than one to every thousand
of population." A more exact ra-
tion, as given this spring by Dr.
George F. Lull, the secretary and
general manager of the American
Medical Association, is one to ev-
ery 970 of population. That re-
presentsa reduction of 65 in the
number of people per doctor since
1931' but it is still higher by 33
than the ratio asit stood in 1921.
In 1921, there was, one doctor
•for every 947 people. In 1931, the
ratio was oiie to 1,035 and at the
beginning of this year, according
to Dr. Lull's figures, it was one
to 970.
It will be argued that with the
increase in medical knowledge and
the improvement in transportation,
one doctor can take care of more
people than he could in 1921. But
this is in part counterbalanced by
the increase in the effective de-
mand for medical care, in the ca-
pacity of people to pay for it.
Back in 1921, by no means all
of the 947 people in the ratio
could afford a doctor's services.
Some 01 them got care regardless
of their inability to pay. But oth-
ers, who should .have gone to a
doctor, denied themselves his ser-
vices :because they lacked the mon-
ey and they preferred to let their
ailments remain untreated rather
than ',accept public or a doctor's
charity. Consequently this group
provided no drain 4n a doctor's
time.
Similarly today, the effective de-
mand for medical service is not

HURON COUNTY CROP REPORT
Recent snowfall has brought
about the stabling of alt livestock
and due to the open fall the live-
stock went into the stable in ex-
cellent condition in most cases.
Due to the good crops during the
past summer, farmers in this dis-
trict' have one satisfaction, in that
they have excellent feed supplies
on hand. In most cases, fall plow-
ing was fairly well completed be-
fore the snow came. However, a
few farmers still have some turnips
to take up and some corn to pick.
Pruning Ornamental Trees
Canada has been blessed with a
wonderful heritage in the .abund-
ance of forests and ornamental
trees. The value of their beauty
in our forests and the comfort they
Provide about bur homes, in our
parks, on our streets and high-
ways, cannot be evaluated in mone-
tary terms.
Ornamental trees may withstand
for many years adverse codditions
to which they are not exposed in
their natural forest surroundings,
states R. D. L. Bligh, Seniot• Hor-
ticulturist, Dominion Experlfnental
Station, Kentville, N.S. It is to our
advantage when planting to provide
suitable environmental conditions,
for the proper development and
longevity of the trees planted.
At planting time, any broken or
badly injured roots should be .re-
moved. The branches of deciduous!
trees should be reduced to cor-

their root system.' This reduction
should not be done by beading all
the branehes back, but by a com-
plete removal" of the'weaker ones,
cutting them out smoothly at their

which they spring, leaving a well-
balahced sturdy frame to develop
into a symmetrical tree. Conifers
should not 'be pruned except to re-
move dead, broken or damaged

Most ornamental trees grow sym-

their pruning is for removing of
wayward or lower branches tat
destroy symmetry or obstruct
walks, drives or views.
The beauty of evergreens is mar-
red by the removal of their lower
branches. It is well to give spe-
cial attention at the time of their
planting so to locate them that
their lower branches may be left
permanently to sweep the ground.
Deciduous flowering shrubs are
always superseding their older,
weaker and bloomed -out wood with
new and more vigorous growths.
Therefore, the general pnactice in
the pruning of shrubs is to remove
all dead• wood, all. branches which
lack vigour or are too weak for
satisfactory flower production, and
those interfering with the sym-
metry and attractiveness of the
shrub or the development of youn-
ger, more vigorous and more valu-
able shoots that are to bear the
blooms in the immediate future.
Pruning of flowering shrubs is, es-
sentially a thinning out process.
The sboots removed, are cut back
to the level of the ground, not
beaded back to develop weak,
worthless laterals or to die.' Any
general heading back, shearing or
clipping of shrubsis to be avoided&
if attractiveness and flower pro-
duction is to be maintained. When
the proper shrubs are selected for
