THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL. ONTARIO VELLORE The farmer is necessarily concerned with the economical management of his farm. But the day is long past when each farm could be considered as an isolated unit, when the farmer and his family consumed the products of their farm. Now the typical farm- er produces for sale and buys from others the things his family needs. He and his farm are now part of a great national system of production; the farmer must then concern him- ‘self with national economy. In the ‘old pioneer days the success and com- 1fort of the farmer depended mainly on his own qualities, skill, hard work and thrift, in other words an economi- a‘. farm management. To-day the success and comfort of the farmer depend on these same qualities, econ- omical farm management must still be the prime interest of each farmer; but his efforts may be of little use if the productive system as a whole is not functioning properly. All farm- ers are concerned with national econ- omy. To the natural hazards of farm ing has been added a new hazard; a fall in prices may destroy a crop as effectually as a. drought. There is however an essential difference be- tween the natural hazard and the price hazard; you cannot do anything about the drought but you can do something about the prices. Not that anyone farmer can doanything, to him a fall in prices has the same in- evitability as the drought; but some- thing can be done by the farmers act- ing together. But to act intelligently as a group they must have some un- derstanding of how the national sys- Ltem of production functions; they need to know something about national economy as well as farm economy. This is difficult; even those who spend their whole lives trying to under- stand these problems are still in doubt as to the solution of many of them. How then is the farmer, who requires all his energy and thought to own his farm successfully, going to learn to solve the problems of national econâ€" ‘omy too? Frankly, I do not think he can, but I do think he could learn enough about economics, how the sys- tem as a whole works, so as to be able to choose his leaders more intelligent- ly and to follow them more intelligent ly; and I believe that many might be found for leadership who would never have thought of problems beyond their own farms if they had not been persuaded to study economics. There- fore, I plead for the study of econo- mies by farmers and particularly by young farmers. ‘ I have said that the farmers must act together. I want to add a word about the sort of united action they must take if they are to enjoy a rea- sonable return for their labour. I believe they must combine to sell their product, in an age of combina- tion and monopoly the farmer must not continue to compete. A fair and reasonable bargain is only possible between parties of roughly equal wealth and power. Farming remains a small scale industry for technical reasons; for business reasons the farmers must combine for the sale of their products. They must also, I be- lieve, combine to secure legislative action. More and more the wealth of particular regions and particular in- dustries is coming to depend more on government action than on competi- tive bargaining. The needs of agri- culture must receive due attention in the legislatures which frame such policies. I do not wish to incite farm- ers as a class to unrestrained selfish grabbing; but at the moment I be- lieve that they need to act as a class to secure their due reward. I hope they will then act as a class to pro- mote the interest of the nation. A goodly number attended the Mothers’ Day service Sunday.

Bladen LASKAY There will be many fields in York County not sown this year because the farmers have not sufficient money to buy seed, a prominent farmer re- ported last week. The great burden of provincial debt and the excessive taxation of the present day weighs heavily on the farmer. A suggested topic for an article in that propaganda sheet caned the “Straight Furrow” which has made its appearance on the eve of an‘elec- tion would be “MILKING THE FARMER." Throughout this district and over a large portion of Ontario the fall wheat crop is a failure. Farmers have had to plant their fields with other grain crops. Only in Essex County and ad- jacent border areas is the crop re- ported as satisfactory. Ontario is a major producer of fall Wheat in Can- ada, the normal production being about 700,000 bushels. Present indi- cations are that this years cr0p will not be half this amount. NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER “The young farmer of to-morrow will, I hope, have ceased to be an in- and-outer. You know what I mean â€"a man who, when pork is high, rush es into pigs, and then when the hori- zon is darkened with pigs and the price is going down, is anxiously look- ing for some other chance to plunge. If wheat is high, he breaks up land that should be in pasture and that should never have been,broken per- hags, and then when the wheat mark- et slumps, well, he is ready to try something else. That man is not a farmer; he is only masquerading as one. I hope that the hypothetical young man that we are considering will save and invest soundly his pro- fit when prices are good and,that he will know better than to throw up his hands and quit because prices have gone down."â€"Dean E. A. Howes, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Alberta in an address published in |“Scientific Agriculture.” Choosing the Site of a Farm Well The situation of the farm Well is often the factor which determines} whether the family will have pure and wholesome water to drink or Water that is unsanitary, provoking disease. It is desirable to locate the well 150 feet from any polluting source such as the barn, manured fields or gar- dens, septic tanks, open ditches, roads, garbage heaps of even away from the dwelling house where waste water may be thrown out or where there may be poultry runs ‘or dog kennels. Severe Winter Killipg From all parts of the province come reports of serious damage to fall wheat, alfalfa and clover. Following are extracts from reports received from representatives in various coun- ties. Bruce: Fall wheat has not wintered! well and many fields are completely killed out. There has been consider-' able Winter killing of alfalfa and clover, too. Dufferin: New seeding of fall wheat is improving and is much more promising than was excepted, but most wheatfields will have to be; seeded to barley.

North Simcoe: The majority of farmers report total loss of wheat, clover and alfalfa. It is not now ex- pected that more than 2 per cent of the wheat crop will be a normal crop, while another 15 per cent may be par- tially saved as a feed grain crop by patching. Waterloo: Over 70 per cent of fall wheat acreage will be resown to barley or mixed grain. About 40 per cent of clovers and al- falfa will have to be plowed up and an annual hay crop sown. Elgin: Fall wheat is very spotty. Some fields wintered well, while others are: badly winter killed. Haldimand: Re- ports indicate that fall wheat, alfalfa and clover wil be spotty. Lambton: Fall wheat will be a good 80 per cent crop. Middlesex: Fall wheat, alfafa and cover have shown considerable growth during the warm weather of early May. While the majority of fields look quite promising, there are some wheat fields in many sections jbeing seeded to spring grains and some clover fields being plowed up and in many cases seeded to an annual hay mixture. Durham: Most of the fall wheat acreage has been culti- vated and sown to barley or re-cleaned western spring wheat. Hastings: Fall wheat and clovers have been severely killed out and farmers are finding it difficult to secure seed. Ontario: Fall wheat is almost a total loss.

Prince Edward: Due to all fall wheat being killed as well as a great per- centage of clover and alfalfa, farmers will have about double the spring’s work to do this season. Victoria: Now that growth has started, fall wheat acreage that has escaped, can be estimated at 5 per cent. York: It is estimated that in this county, 90 per cent of the fall wheat will be re- seeded to spring grains. This is the heaviest winter killing on record. Frontenac: For a distance of about 25 miles back from the river front, alfalfa and fall wheat have been from 90 to 95 per cent killed. Some fields are totally bare.
