Domestic red clo- ver will be supplanted by imported seed to a great extent this season on account of the scarcity of supply and the price factor. Supply of all seed, except timothy, is becoming scarce. Estimated quantities still in growers' hands are: Red clever 60,- 000 lbs; alfalfa 190,000 libS.; al-sike 34,000 lbs.; sweet clover 200,000 1135.; and timothy 875,000 lbs. Farm Price Index The disadvantage which farmers experienced. in exchanging their pro- duce for the goods which they needed for approximately six years was ter- minated) in November 1936 when the index of prices of farm products overtook the prices of manufactured goods. During the whole of 1937 farm prices continued to be higher than manufactured goods as compar- ed with the relationship which pre- vailed in 1913, which is usually con- sidered to have been a normal year. Notwithstanding the decrease of field crop prices in August 1937 farmers still enjoyed a slight advantage in November 1937, the last month for which figures are available. Fertilizer Contents Chemical fertilizers sold in Canada are required by law to contain the amounts of nitrogen, phosphorfc acid and potash guaranteed by the manu- facturer or importer. For example, a 2-12-6 fertilizer must contain 2 per cent of nitrogen, 12 per cent of avail- able phosphoric acid and 6 per cent of potash. This is required so that farmers and other buyers may be sure of obtaining good value for their money outlay. Each year hundreds of samples are analysed by the offi- cial analysts and the results publish- ed so that the public may see for itself the record of each of the fer- tilizer companies in meeting their guarantees. The results of 1937 are now avail- able and when carefully studied few failures to meet the required guarâ€" antee are to be found. There has been a substantial increase in the consumption of fertilizers in recent years and this may be attributed largely to increased public confid- ence, due to good results from their 1 Engine, 1 H.P., air cooled- 1 Vessot Grinder, 61/2 inch 1 Power Emery Grinder 2 Hangers al‘ Seed Drill, Peter Hamilton 11 Steel Split Pulley, 5x20 \1 Steel Split Pulley, 4x20 1 Wood Split Pulley, 5x16 1 Wood Split Pulley, 8x8 1 Line Shaft, 11/2 inch .Q ntity of Belting ‘ngheep Shearing Machine :1 Spraying Outfit for Potatoes, Mus- tard and Trees, 50 lbs.

GIRLS LEAVING FARM, AND \VHY? ASKS M-P. Argues It’s Because Urban Living Standard Higher, and Calls for Accounting of What Farm- ers Make Farmers, said R. J. Deachman, (Lib. Huron North) aren’t getting enough money. He said it loud and long, before the present sessions of the House of Commons, and before he finished he suggested, in a non-partisan way, that the Government should select a group of farmers, provide them with a simple cost-accounting system, and find out exactly what an average farmer did make in a year. That is, the Government might find out, Ibarring wind, drought, hail, wet weather and: a few other little items: that made of farming a series of little surprises. Farmers, pointed: out Mr. Deach- man, today have such interesting work. Like potato bugs. They never knew what was going to hit them. Says Girls Leaving In any event, he emphasized, the position of Canadian agriculture was the most serious factor in- Canada’s economic position. It must be. For didn‘t the 1931 census report show that there was a decrease in the number of girls of marriagable age living on the farm? “And I want to tell you,” he said, “when the female population: declines on the farm, it is a serious factor in the social life of the community. Our women make the social life.” Out of that came his conclusiOn that the girls of marriagalble age were going to the cities, following the higher standard of living that the urban communities afforded. The point was, he said, there was no accurate information of the depth to which the farmer’s standard of living had fallen. The nearest he could get to it was by taking the total income from agriculture, as reâ€" ported by the Bureau of Statistics, dividing it by the number of farm- ers, and deducting the more or less theoretical cost of their living. By this involved reckoning, he figured the average farmer in a year had a net retln‘n: of Slightly under dollar a day. Wants Exact Data “Oh, I know," he said, “when you discuss it, they. say the farmer has his house and his burn and all that kind of thing. They say down here, ‘Oh, he’s got: all tnat.’ But that isn’t the point." The circumstances demamd that we should know exact- ly what the farmer's income amounts to.” He figured’ the ecst of the econ: omic survey would be trifling. He suggested that cost-accounting sys- tem might be applied to 100 or 1,000 farmersâ€"in any event a represent- ative number. He believed irt should be applied over a period of two or three years in the interest of ac- curacy. There were, he believed, branches in the Ontario Department of Agri- culture, that im association with the Federal branch could supervise such an investigation, without the setting up of additional machinery. Mr. Whitmore We were informed by Mr. John G. Whitmore on Tuesday that it is quite possible that he will resign' the man- agement of the Woodbridge Farm- ers’ Company at the close of the company’s fiscal year, May 3151:, to go into business on his owu account. Mr. Whitmore has been manager of the company since its organization in 1921 and since that time under his very capable management the company; has experienced consider- able expansion and no small degree of prosperity. Its development orig- inated from a United Farmers’ Club. ‘E which there were many organfized throughout Ontario after the close of the war. This was one of the few that survived and in the course of time proved to be a successful business venture. Blaming himself previously, been a successful farmer, Mr. Whitmore was particularly fitt- ed to directing the affairs of a busi- ness organization, the great bulk of whose business has been transacted with a farminlg clientel. The turn- over of the company for the year ending May 31st last showed more than fifty thousand dollars of an in- crease over that of lthe‘ previous year.

CLAIRKSON ASSUMES FAIR PRESIDENCY President of the Woodbridge Agriâ€" cultural Society when the members held their annual meeting last Satur- day afternoon. The new vice-presi- dents are Wilbert Cousins and Alfred Thompson. D. C. LonghOuse, one of the oldest members, was re-elected to the board of directors for the 58th consecutive year. Directors and as- sociate directors added to last year’s list include Charles Wallace, John Kellam, Mrs. John Kellam and Mrs. William Clarkson. Saturday, Octobâ€" er 8th and Monday, October 10 were selected as tentative dates for the 1938 fair. William Clarkson, a former reeve of Etobicoke township was elected A small son makes life happier. Without one, you’re ashamed to buy a toy train to play with. A man is a person who buys a new overcoat and friends call to see him 'and he doesn’t show it to them NOT SPENT IN DiRINK (Porcupine Advance) A transienrt in town this week begged fifteen cents for the avowed purpose of buying that cup of coffee that seems so desirable and neceSsary when fifteen cents is re- quired. The generous Scotsman who was expected to provide the coffee money expressed his earnest disin-- clination to providing a small sum of money to supply another man with any of the wellâ€"known intoxicants. He was assured: that the money would not be wasted in that way. “I’ll not drink up your money, my good friend!” said the transient with so much earnestness that even the Scotsman believed him. But the Scotsman followed him â€" past one beverage room, past another! Ah, here is a restaurant! The man» turns in with his recently acquired three big nickles! An honest man! He knew his way about, too! He knew the nearest restaurant! He entered the cafe! But he did not take a seat at one of the tables, not at the counter! He spent the three big nickles in a slot machine.
