Feed grain requirements, above what is home grown, are equivalent to 2,000 bushels for every five On- tario "farmers he said. "Milk, meat, particularly hogs, and poultry pro- duction are dependent on feed grains. Unless we can obtain what is needed such production will decline rapidly. "To fill Ontario's grain demands will require 200 cars a day from Fort William for six months. Yet from June 1 to Mid -July there were only 222 cars a week handled." Last year Mr. McKinney said, it was necessary to bring about 38,000,000 bushels of grain from the west. Production of field grains in On- tario last year totalled 160,000,000 bushels but "the prospective produc- tion . . , . this year appears to be about 65,000,000 bushels."

Send Something to Read • This year the Magazine Commit- tees .of the 60 branches" of the Navy League throughout Ontario are striv- ing to secure two million magazines and books for the sailors of our own Navy, our own Canadian Merchant Navy and the sailors of Allied Na- tions navies whose ships touch our ports. When General Bernard L. Mont- gomery was asked in London recent- ly what 'his men in Worth Africa wanted (and our men at sea are even more cut off from means of recrea- tion, remember!) be said, "When you write them be sure and send them magazines and books, things to read." There is a solace and comfort and relief to the tired nerves of our sail- ors in reading matter that cannot be obtained from other sources, when they are restricted for weeks on end to the confines • of a small warship of a freighter. A few days ago a dusty motorist, engaged in important war work, drew up at a Navy League magazine depot with about 600 magazines. "I had to drive down from Saskat- oon, ,Sask.," he said, "nearly 2,000 miles, visiting certain points. The back of my car was empty and I'd read of the need of reading matter for our sailors, so everywhere I stop. ped I had personal and business friends dig out all the magazines and books they could spare and used the back scat of the car to carry them. It was no trouble at all and it will help our sailors," he commented. He refused to leave his name. The other day the busy nursing sister of a large military hospital sent in five large cartons of carefully sorted magazines to a Navy League magazine depot. Two excellent examples, and an authentic exhortation from one who knows what servieemen need, should be, enough to set us working, here in Ontario. on the two 'illion V Colors in the cap worn by mem- bers of the Veterans Guard of Canada perpetuate the four Canadian divis- ions which went overseas in the last war.
