Catalogues on request JIM SMITH R. E. WHITE President Secretary Auctioneer-WM, E. NAIRN ,I -To The Editor Toronto, May 19, 1954. The Editor,. The Huron Expositor: Dear .Sir: I am not much of an economist, other than in the way of reflecting the wise adage that "necessity does everything well" On the other hand, I highly appre- ciate the increasing accent-es:pec- !ally in your- editorial columns -on the fact that merely counting up the gross revenues of the nation's far- mers is not enough; that there are two sides to the rural ledger' (just is there are two sides to the urban ledger), and that the NET income is what really matters, either in town or on the farm. In the circumstances, therefore, I would like to draw attention of both classes of readers to what I thought a significant and revealing contrast which I ran across in my reading recently. In the cor- respondence columns of one of your daily contemporaries, it was indi- cated that, as recently as 1939, the grossvalue of agricultural produc- tion in Canada was officially esti- mated at $1,213,000,000. This figure is certainly a long way from the VIEW NOTICE Anyone interested in purchasing New Homes, with. Low Down Payments -See=- W. C. OKE gaposenugemenggesmeggin 1953 NET income of the nation's farmers, estimated at $1,56,000,000 -though the latter, itself, was 15 per cent less than the net Income of 1952, and.23 per cent less than the all-time peak figure reached in 1951.- So 951.-So much for the background. Now I consider the following table highly significant, giving the de- tails of the farmers' operating ex- penses in1953. The •massive totals certainly speak for theinselves, and in language which is not difficult to understand. To this urban Cana- dian, however, it is something to ponder, that the operating costs (including depreciation on build- ings and machinery). in 1953, appar- ently, exceeded the gross value of the production of the nation's agri- cultural establishment for 1939. I quote the figures, which really astounded me (in millions of dol- lars) : taxes, land. and buildings, 108; gross rent, 120; hired labor, 178; interest in indebtedness, 43; feed and seed, 281; tractor, 119; truck, 62; automobile (farm use), 64; engine and combine, 17; mach- inery repairs, 66; fertilizer, 56; garden and orchard supplies, 35; buildings and repairs, 82; miscel- laneous, 73; depreciation on build- ings and machinery, 232. Total op- erating and •depreciation costs, $1,538,000,000. It certainly costs money to farm these days! D. P. W.

Fire is a necessary friend, but also a terrible enemy. as is shown by reports of farm fires in New Brunswick in 1953. The Provincial Fire Marshal reports 84 fires in farm buildings with a lose, of $342.- 881, 342:881, only $133,458 of which was cov- ered by insurance. The total fire loss in rural areas of the province amounted to 81,781.793. or $5.28 per capita -rather a severe and unnec- essary tax that does not require legislative action to repeal. Amon; the 30 major fires in the province. eight were farm buildings with individual losses ranging from $20,500 to 881.500. The causes, where known. are listed as sparks from engine. electrical, sparks from tlue, oil burning branders and short circuits.
