Directors of Huron . County
Farm Forum met last Friday in
the Agricultural Board Rooms and
sorry to say there could hive been
a better attendance. 4, The theme of this year's pro-
grams is "Adjustment, Key to
farming's future." One adjustment
that farmers seem to have made is
to become so busy with produc-
tion that there is little or no time
to attend meetings such as germ
Forum, to consider whether or not
their efforts are going to bring
the results they ,want.
Perhaps we in Ontario are too
:fort-mate and as yet haven't felt
the squeeze sufficiently to cause
us to react. Farm Forum was
born in the latter days of the de-
pression of the• thirties and can
be given a great deal of credit for
the advancements that have takeil
place :in farm 5:iving and organiza-
tion.
Over the p-osperous post war
years Farm 2orum -interest and
activity declined sharply 'but ap-
parently difficulties have arisen in
all parts of Canada except in On-
tario to arouse the people to
again Participate in the discus-
sions with the view to improving
their condition. And, believe me,
there is room for ,improvement.,
Arural school teachers salary
in the early thirties Would equal
the price of an average standard
car, today, it still does. Other
salaries would bear about the
same relationship, .
In the forties a farmer could
purchase a tractor for $1,000.00
and pay for it with 50 cent oats,
but today a' similar 'tractor will
cost $3,000.00 and he will' still
have to pay for it with 50 cent
oats.
At present prices it WOuld take
about 100 cases of eggs to pay my
taxes, This is' getting close to the
limits of the deficiency payment
quota.
Perhaps we should' be thankful
for our increased efficiency for
enabling us to manage to survive
even for a limited time under
these circumstances but on second
thought perhaps it is our effic-
ieney that has placed us in this
uneviable position. This is a
problem. that Farm Forum might
well solve for us, But you must
be interested.
Plans were laid" at the Directors
meeting to hold the County Farm
Forum Annual the second weec. of
January, in ,the afternoon. It will
be open to
*
all . Forum members
and to any other interested per-
sons. We hope you will be watch-
ing for the announcement of the
details.
In closing let me wish all of
you a very Merry Christmas. Let
us count our blessings • for the
present and leave our -troubles for
the new year.

are designed .for this purpose, and
are properly insulated against

Choose a fresh tree—Scotch
pines lasts longest—and leave it
outdoors until needed. Before you
put your tree up, cut off the bot-
tom, an inch from the original cut
and stand it in water overnight.

place fuses with coins.' Fuses are
for your protection. Coins can lead
