Township Federation of Agriculture.
The questions,. numbering 102, which
the farmers are being asked to an-
swer, :cover_ eli,ery subject of interest
agriculturaIl, aid should reveal ac-
curately the 'standards prevailing
throughout Huron as Hullett is a re-
presentative township.
From the point of view of the war
effort, the survey is expected to • re-
veal the possible production in 1912
and whether the trend is toward • a
greater or lessened acreage.
A director of the federation is re-
sponsible for calling on every farmer
within this school section. 'in all,
there are about 350 farmers in the
township. The questionaires are to
be returned by Christmas.

"Go To Church"
We should 'practise the habit of at-
tending church at all seasons, but
surely, if ever, at this time of the
year, when tokens of Christmas are
sees on every side. Blessed is the
man who can endure"an hour and five
minutes in a place of worship as well
I as two hours in a place of amuse-
ment. Blessed is the man whose
watch keeps church time, as well as
business time. Blessed is the man
who loves his owu church enough to
praise it. It isn't a smart preacher,
or a rich congregation, or a good lo-
cation, or a paid choir, that makes a'1'
successful church. It is the church
members always being there that
counts.
Oliver Wendell Holmes was once
asked why he •t.roubied to attend a
small church where the preacher was
a most ordinary man with no origin-
ality as a thinker.' Dr. Holmes gave
this fine reply: "1 go. because I have
a little plant called Reverence, and I
Must needs water it once a week or
it will die." There are other and
deeper masons why we should go to
a place of worship regularly. to_ coo -
fess our sins, to alit God's pardon, to
praise Him f"or His goodness, to en-
courage one another in our most holy
faith. ilut there is also need to e

which soon fades and dies.unless we

District Farmers Hear -
Practical Talk at C. of C.
Rural Relations Night
Dr. Elwood Roe Says Farm-
ers Must Study Costs Of
Production in Order To
Show Profit.
MAIN PROBLEMS ARE
LABOR AND PRICES
An interesting and instrue`tive diag-
nosis of the farmer and his problems,
together with sound.stOggestions for
the improvement of the situation, fea-
tured the address of Dr. Elwood Roe,
of Atwood, who spoke to 175 farmers
and town people at the first rural re-
lations night of the Seaforth Chamber
of CO -Amerce on Friday evening.
Dr. Roe, successful farmer,eed
manufacturer and veterinary, defined
the main problems confronting agri-
cultural as labor and prices. "W'hy is
industry able to pay wages that at-
tract farm labor The law of supply
and • demand is in evidence here. War-
time equipment and material of all
kinds is definitely in. evidence here.
The production of ... this war -time
equipment started from scratch, with
a demand that keeps asking for in-
creased production. The necessity for
labor to keep these industrial plants
producing at maximum efficiency has
caused such high wages to be offered
that the farmer cannot compete with
them,
"On the outer hand, when war carne
to Canada we had abundant supplies,
even a surplus, of most farm commod-
ities and thoughts of food were, sec-
ondary. It. is wise to . reme.mber that
food is also power. In Napoleon's
time, it was said, that an 'army march-
es on its stomach.' in total war, the
whole population does. So food be-
comes a national problem for war and
peace."
Dr. E. A. McMaster, chairman of
the meeting, welcomed the guests to
the school room of Northside United
Church where the ladies- of the con-
gregation catered for the banquet.
Brief addresses were given• during the
evening by E. L. Cardiff, M.P., rer
North Huron; James C. Shearer, Hur-
on County Agricultural Representa-
tive, who also presented distinguish-
ed rural guests to' the assemblage;
J'. D., Thomas of Goderich, as chair-
man of the International Plowing
Match of 1942 and A. Y. McLean, who
tendered a vote of thanks to the guest
speaker. George Schaefer, of the
Goderich Board of Trade, brought
greetings from the county town. W.
L. Whyte of Hullett township intro-
duced Dr. Roe to the gathering.
During the evening delightful solos
were contributed by Dalton L. Reid,

Dr. E. A. McMaster, medical officer
of health, who had been authorized
by the Board to Healthto make a
_
check-up on the health condition of
the pupils attending schools in, the
township, presented his report, which
so far as general health conditionsin
the municipality, was very favorable,
but in regard to the pupils in the
schools, his report reads as follows:
"I beg to advise you that I made a
health examination of the children of
the schools in your township. I ex-
amined 186 children. Of these 186, I
found only 23 in good health; 4 were
decidedly underweight; 7 were suf-
fering fi•om anaemia; 16 bad defective
vision; 76, had infected tonsils and
adenoids; 60 had cavities in their
teeth, and 4' had tem`tierature over 100
degrees. So "if the child is father to
the man as to the future, unless par-
ents undertake to remedy these con-
ditions, now that they are known, we
may draw our own conclusions."'
John Eerie, sanitary inspector and
school attendance officer, presented
his reports which were accepted. As'
sanitary inspector, only four cases of
scarlet fever were reported to him
for pla.carding and disenfeeting. As
school attendance offleer only three
schools required his services, for ab-
sence of pupils and misbehaviour. His
salary for both offices was ordered
paid and.'he was reappointed school
