Our FoodSupply (By John Atkins, Farmer -Journalist) No. 4—"WORK THAT COUNTS" There is no more satisfying work than the . growing of war . food. There is no better way to shake off the nightmare of war than to har- vest the crops. There is reality in a farmer's work when food is needed —a deep satisfaction that is apart from any other consideration. It is the reason why farm people keep on growing things as long as they have the means of production. Men know in their souls that they are serving the creative purposes when they feed humanity. Food is life. The sharing of -it is religion. This fight for freedom will finally be von by food. -When it is won, the recce can be preserved by feeding the hungry and 'assuring them that they need never starve again while ‘re have food to exchange for their la- bor or to give them in disaster. No matter how little he may get for his work the farmer is paid in a sense of fulfillment of the hurnan purpose. How much he can produce is a differ- ent matter. The quantity and quality of the food he grows depends upon the means of production he derives from the sale of it. Every Canadian who contributes to malting food production possible can share the farmer's satisfaction for there is no part of Canada's war pro- duction more important than food. Food production is not a problem that can be left to farmers alone. Production .encouragement is an ur- ban problem. A willingness to pay fair prices for food and an active in- terest in establishing and maintaining a proper balance between city ,and country are duties of urban Cana- dians, No economic injustice can rob a farmer of bhe satisfaction of doing work that counts, but it can easily destroy his ability to produce the food we need. - Many city people think that a far- mer Can carry On and produce food to the limit in any circumstances. They know little of the farmer's need for labor to help him and his wife. They know nothing of modern farm production with expenses which cover gasoline, feed for balanced rations, seed, implements, buildings, fencing, repairs, telephone, wages, livestock, and a ihunclred and one things that make a considerable total. And all of this is aside from the family ex- penses for all of the things that town people buy, except the food grown on the farm which must be supplement- ed by much purchased food. Those who were not raised on farms and who have not done a day's work with an axe and saw, have no idea how much hard work it takes to cut the farm wood where wood is atvailable. (They fail to see that they trade a few short drays of work to the coal man for fuel that a farmer. produces with double the days of work, work that is much harder than theirs). They do not realize that they get their food, much of it ready to use, for less work than it takes farm people to provide the same foods for themselves. Surely farm people earn the satis- faction that, they get from the knowl- edge that their work 'counts, from the beauty of the country, from work- ing outdoors, from the independence of their life, • if they are not harrass- ed by debts. These things make farm Life worth- while, but they do not make it pro -1 fitable. It must also be profitable if the food we need Is to be produced. Making farming profitable is also work that counts. nis. RRN EXPOS Olt MATING BREN GUNS The young woman shown in this photo is welding cartridge clips for Bren machine guns.

This plant also produces the Boys Rifle, . It is used for an entirely dif- ferent purpose than the other two guns mentioned. ..it is a heavy, stur- dy gun, firing a single bullet. These bullets are armour -piercing however, and the Boys Rifle is used extensive- ly in action against light tanks and armoured vehicles. In the course of the next few months, production will be doubled. So perfect has become the system of mass production of automatic gun equipped in this plant, that the Unit- ed States has sent representatives to study the details, The same firm is also timing out marine engines on a large scale.
