War Statistics
liere are some grim figures on
War disclosed by Prime Minister
ChUrehill in the British House of
' Commons last Week:
400,000'Germans killed or WQ11.11A-
ed in Western Ftnrope.
Nearly 500,000 Germans captured.
Perhaps 200,000 facing "highly
probable" capture or destruction in
Holland.
145,000 American casualties in
North and South France.
90,000 British casualties.
250,000. troops landed in France
within. 24 hours on D -Day, June 6th.
1,000,000 men in France by June 26.
2,000,000 to 3,000,000 Allied troops
now in France.
Americans now outnumber British
troops in France by a ratio of three
to two, and there are five and a half
United States 'fighting divisions irk
Prance to four British divisions.
Canada Should RemeMber Too
In the British House of Cominoris
on Thursday of last week, Prime
. Minister Churchill reminded the
members that an election was on in
the United States and told them "not
to be startled or carried away by
sensational reports" during the cam-
paign.
"The United States is a land of
frsee eech," he said. "Nowhere is
peeh freer. Not even here, where
we sedulously cultivate it, even in
its most repulsive' form."
That is something that Canadian
people and newspapers should keep
in mind as well.

The Ordeal is Over
The English people, as a whole,
have not yet been freed from the
nightmare of bombing. under which
they have suffered so long, so pat-
iently and so braavely, but there is
one corner of that country whete
the ordeal has at last been ended.
Just over four years after the first
German shells crashed across the
narrow Straits of Dover, the people
of Dover city were told officially on
Saturday that their ordeal by gun-
. fire was ended.
Shortly after ten o'clock that
morning, loudspeakers in the city
gave this message:
"The Mayor has received offiicial
information that all the long-range
guns on the other side of the Channel
have now been captured."
• The message was also broadcast in
the caves, where many persons have
been sheltering the' last month dur-
ing the fierce bombardment of this
little capital of the. so-called "Hell-
fire Corner."
It is quite beyond the imagination
of any people in this country to con-
ceive of even a part of the ordeal
undergone by the citizens of Dover
for the past four years, but it is not
beyond us to express our admiration
for them, and to rejoice with them
in their new -won victory, of which
Our Canadian soldiers had a part. ,

would have been much better Said
Ye?t, ra ago.
"Now an editorial writer of the.
Globe and Mail suggests, apparently
seriously, that the Royal York Hotel
be taken over as a military hospital.
Hemay be kidding, of course, but
there are Toronto people who would
take him seriously. The, fact that
more trains shunt across from the
Royal York than ever passed Chris:.
tie Street doesn't matter. Nor is the
smoke of downtown Toronto any
less than in uptown Toronto. And
ahotel building, with numerous lit-
tle rooms, would be harder to make
into a hospital than a cash register
factory was. There's one thing that
can be said about Toronto people.
They are full of ideas—such as they
axe!"
Another slant to the Globe and
Mail's political propaganda was giv-
en recently too, by a number of Rus-
sian military doctors, now making a
tour of military hospitals in the
States and Canada, when they made
a second inspection of the Christie
Street Hospital, because as they pro-
nounced it, it was one of the best, if
not the best, equipped and most per-
fectly serviced military hospitals
they had yet seen in this country or
any other.

Xr.- John Bracken's Farm
A year 'or more ago, when Mr.
Bracken, the leader of the Progres-
sive Conservative party, purchased a
farm in ,Carleton County, Ontario„
it was reported that he would run in
that constituency for the Federal
House, as Carleton County is strong-
ly Conservative.
The report, however, turned 'out to
be untrue, as Mr. B-racken has since
declared his intention of standing for
a Manitoba constituency and will
stand or fall according to the deci-
sion of the people in the Western
constituency.
Interest in the Bracken farm since
its _purchase, has been considerable
and has been a .very strong point in
the publicity of the, Conservative
party, which has been stressing the
fact that Mr. Bracken differs from
other Federal leaders, in that- he is
a practical farmer.
A few weeks ago the Ottawa Jour-
nal, a strong Conservative paper,
sent a reporter out to the Bracken
farm and his report, recently pub-
lished, has attracted wide attention.
The farm consists of 200 acres of
gently rolling farm land, and it is
• Mr. Bracken's intention to stock it
with pure bred Jersey cattle. And,
although Mr.- Bracken may be a prac-
tical farmer, he intends to sit on the
side lines while the work is done by
a manager, one Mr. Vincent Boyd,
of Settsville, assisted by two hired
men.
Perhaps the chief news in the
, Journal's report was that concerning
a big job of face-lifting on the -125-
year-old house on the farm, which,
itstated, is situated on a low hill and
commands a beautiful view of the
Rideau River, afid describes 'it as a
"rambling frame structure, glisten-
ing white in the golden haze of Sep-
tember." Workmen are very busy
but large piles of building material
would indicate that much work is
still to be done. The JOurnal says:
"The main alteration is the addition
of a suriroo,m 30x12 feet, off the gen-
erous living room."
"Three other rooms, one of which
will undoubtedly be a dining room,
and a good sized kitchen and a wash
room, complete the ground floor plan.
Heavily beamed ceilings will con-
trast with the buff, Walls.' Upstairs
are five bedrooms, painted in pastel
tones of 'orchid, green and cream, a
small and uneTaborate bath room;
and a sun deck on the roof of the
S11111'00/11. Flooring throughout the
house is oak, and it has hey elec-
tric wiring and a telephone. Water
for the taps will be pumped from
outside."
he farm -is located fourteen miles
so th of Ottawa on an excellent all-
weather highway. All in all, the de-
scription sounds like a, Mighty nice
and conlfortable hozne, and we hope
Bracken win live longi to enJoy

Oversize Eggs Increase Breakages
The problem of the oversize egg in
the poultry industry is becoming
acute. The tendency towards produc-
ing oversize eggs is increasing and
som,e hatcherymen especially feature
chicks from such eggs. But many
,eggs too large for standard trays and
tilers are lost thrOugh breakage, and
oversize eggs are often 'the indirect
cause of considerable mortality in the
laying flocks. No market, export or
domestic, has yet paid a premium for
oversize eggsmeommen,Surate with
their weight. Some poultrymen .advo-
nate sale by weight but this Would
only complicate the problem further
by increasing the demand .for larger
eggs, while on •the other hand, the
Consuming public is satisfied with
the standard two-out:ice egg.
The Dominion Department of Agri-
culture points out that the two -ounce
egg 'is the most economical to pro-
duce, the bigger the egg, the less the
production. In supplying an export
market, a large volume of a product
of uniform size is more important
than a similar volume in many sizes.
The problem simply narrows down
to whether it is more economical to
produce large numbers of standard
size eggs weighing 24 ounces to the
dozen (the two -ounce egg) or a less
volume of oversize eggs weighing 28
or 30 ounces to the dozen. In short,
the industry must decide whether to
Specialize on the production of a
standard two -ounce egg or allow con-
ditions 'to develop that will necessi-
tate a variety of sizes in containers
and. packing material. Costs of
handling are increased by having too
many sizes of packages. In large
manufacturing concerns, the standard-
ization of packages has become an
accepted method of reducing costs.

Give Definition Net Farm Income
Net farm income is defined as the
net income accruing to farm opera-
tors and their families from their own
farming operations. Net farm- income
represenfi 'Payment for the manager-
ial services of the operator, the labor
of hiraself and his family, together
With interest 'on the papital invested
in farm land, buildings and equip-
ment. Net incomes does not include
income to persons on farms frem non,
farm sottrees. The net farm ineome
becomes available* the farm family
for living expenses, for the payment
of income taxes and, for investment
in the WIn or in ether investment
outlets. An increase ,in the Value of
inventory may be fegardecl as in-
come and a -corresponding investinent
in the farm enterprise.
Per net far ni income parpoats, the
definition of a, farm is the Sante AS

Jeeps Not Suitable For Use on Farms
Swords may be beaten into plough-
shares but few military.ivehicles can
be • converted to farm -rise, states the
National Committee on Agricultural.
Engineering, which recently met. in
Ottawa at the invitation of the Do-
minion Department of Agriculture.
E. A. Hardy and R. P. Frey, of the
University of Saskatchewan, Saska-
too, said that recent experiments
they •have conducted with , the jeep
reveal that the transraiasion of "this
vehicle will not stand up if burdened
with more than a four -horse load.
While the jeep's drawbar pull varies
with load and terrain, it is not likely
to replace that of the tractor. The
jeep's speed is .too fast for farm work
and even when throttled has not set-
ficlent power; Also unsatisfactory is
its transmission which like that of
'most war vehicles is designed for
military use and not to run eontinu-
ously in low gear, they said. -
A theory that tanks might be used
as bull -dozers was exploded at the
meeting when agricultural engineers
agreed that tanks are designed to
'carry their own load only and not to
do--bull-dozer work. Nor has the uni-
versal carrier any possibility for
adaptation as a tractor, as some peo-
ple had, believed.
One agricultural engineer pointed
to the danger ,of ,being unable to 'ob-
tain repair parts for military ve-
hicles. He said that at pregent, man-
ufacturing companies own neither
military vehicles. nor their parts
which, bn manufacture, become gov-
ernment property.
The committee agreed, however,
that military trucks of the Standard
two --heed drive de$ign, all typesof
trailers, component parts and aparh
wheels iri good condition Would be of
great value to agrictilture; ,
