THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO VICTORY When it is possible to write the full story of the war work done in the past six years by the men and women of the Canadian farms, it will be a heroic saga of self-sacrifice, ceaseless labour, victory over•difficulties in the shortage -of help and machinery, and the never- ending fight against the elements. Peace hath her victories no less re- nowned than war. The farm folk of Canada, like farm, folk everywhere, are fundamently people of peace. Paradoxically without them war could not be waged, so it is appropriate to pause and give due measure of ap- preciation to the people who made an immeasurable contribution to victory. In other countries, unintentional forgetfulness of what farm men and women have achieved in war time is an old story, although that story is not likely to be repeated in Canada. About 1,600 years ago, the Visigoth farmers settled by Theodosius south of the Danube were forgotten and left to their own resources under harsh conditions. Yet much was expected of them in the way of supplying food. So they started the first major farm strike on record and were stopped from occupying Rome only on the pay- ment of a large farm loan, then spoken of as a ransom. Again in the world, the time has come "when they shall beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruninghooks." After every war, the ploughshares and prun- inghooks are sorely needed.
