Applicants state experience and salary expected. Twenty years ago, agricultural scien- tists looked askance on the idea of farming Canada’s vast northland. The brief northern growing season was too short, they said. The number of horses a farmer would need to work his land, and get his crOp sown in time to mature, would eat him out of house and barn.

A large number of the electors of East and West York were present to listen to the gentlemen who had previously been advertised to speak. Many la- dies were also present and appeared to take a deep interest in the pollt- ical questions which were so ably discussed. Mr. Wm. Trench, presi- dent of the Richmond Hill Liberal Association, occupied the chair. Mr. W. H. P. Clement, the Liberal candi- date for West York, was the first speaker. He said at once that he was in favour of reciprocity with the Unite“ States.” Under the heading “Markets” the following prices were quoted: “Wheat, new fall, per bushel, 98c; Wheat, spring, per bushel, 86c; Barley, per bushel, 55c; Oats, per bushel, 530’; Dressed Hogs, per hun- dred, $6.00; Chickens, per pair, 40c to 65c; Butter, pound rolls, 21¢; Eggs, new laid, 200 to 22c per dozen; Potatoes, per bag, $1.00; Timothy Hay, $9.09 to $11.00; Clover Hay, $7.00 to $8.00.” “The first day of the West York Sabbath School Convention held in the Methodist Church of Richmond Hill passed by very satisfactorily.

The gentle. gracious presence of )Mrs.‘ Gellatly will be greatly missed. The “fruit bearing‘ acts and thoughts she has left to others will not be forgotten, or left unheeded. While her interest centered in her family and grandchildren who return- ed her devotion unstinting‘ly, her faith in people carried her far beyond the realms of personal interest. She was a “neighbor” in the truest sense. Justly proud of her family‘ heritage, Mrs. Gellatly, whose parents had been among the founders of Eversley Presbyterian Church, which she ser- ved all her life, had impressed their daughter as to her allegiance to Christ and the Church. This she maintained in steadfast loyalty. Her efforts in the Great Cause bore fruit and as her service to Eversley Church lengthened into many years she was considered the “Church Mother”. Hel- home was always for service to the Church and its cause. ‘ -As a charter and life member of Eversley W.M.S., Mrs. Gellatly gave much thought and benevolent gifts toward the furthering- of missionary Work both at home and abroad. She was the honorary president of Ever- sley WA. and here again her works were mighty. In community life she shared equal enthusiasm where help was needed. In Women’s Inâ€" stitute work she was a born historian. One of the latest and important events in her useful life was the cel- ebration of the 100th anniversary of Eversley Church, when at 83 she reâ€" lated in refreshing style the history 0f the founding of the (~nno~rpou+inn Eversley much th toward t Work bot was the air lesda dge . \‘ork both \‘as the h ley W.A.

Acting as pall bearers were Arthur Bennington, Newmarket, Roy Ferguson of Will- owdale, nephews of the deceased; Arthur and Scott Bovair, Farren Cairns and Fred Curtis all of King district. A large display of floral tributes expressed sympathy to the bereaved and high esteem for the deceased.

Since 1938, the amount of cheques cashed by Canadians has risen steadily every year. Overall advance has been from $30.9 billion in 1938 to the all time record of $80.7 billion A desire to speed up operations, to increase efficiency, is regarded as a prime reason for the shift in meth- ods and machines, but other reasons include the growing number of trac- tors, the improved cash position of farmers and the shortage of farm labour. Pre-war, dump rakes used to outâ€" sell side delivery rakes by six to one, but today the ratio has been cut down to a little better than two to one. Loader sales are on the increase. The following year, with a better selection of equipment available, more than five times as many tractor drawn mowers were sold as in 1946, tractor-mounted mower sales about held their own, but horse-drawn mow- er sales dropped by 16 per cent. Before the war, hay mower sales in Eastern Canada ran about 6,000 to 7,000 a year, the bulk of them horse-drawn machines. Sales in 1946 totalled 10,595, of which 8,980 were horseâ€"drawn, 93 were tractor-drawn and 1,522 were tractor-mounted. A gradual but definite shift in hay harvesting methods and equipment in Eastern Canada has taken place dur- ing the last decade. Haying Methods Showing Change Farm wages continue at a high level with rates paid during May, 1949 at the highest levels in Wiestern Can- ada._ Supplies of farm labour are expected t6 be sufficient to meet the needs, with organized interprovincial movements filling peak demands. Farmers intended, at April 30, to plant a smaller acreage to potatoes this year. The largest percentage reductions are occurring in Prince Edward'lsland and New Brunswick. Growing conditions in Nova Scotia apple areas are reported to be better than average. In Ontario and Quebec late frosts'as well as cold and wet weather l/ave caused some damage. Crop prospects vary in British Col- umbia. Egg production during January to April, 1949 was 11 per cent below that of 1948 with prices averaging slightly higher. Dressed poultry was moving into domestic consumption and storage at firm prices but ex- ports to the United States have fallen off sharply in recent weeks. Total milk production during the first part of 1949 was greater than for the comparable period of last year. The production of cheddar cheese and concentrated milk pro- ducts during the first quarter of 1949 increased considerably over the first quarter of 1948. Fluid milk and cream sales, as well as butter production, were slightly higher this year, al~ though it is not likely that an in- creased percentage of the total milk production was diverted to these uses. 1948, a gain of more than 160% Cattle marketings increased while marketings of other kinds of live- stock deciined sharply during the first five months of 1949 as compared with the same period in 1948. Toronto prices for steers and for calves in May and June were three to four dol- lars above those of a year ago. Hogs were selling about one dollar a hun- dred pounds more in May, 1949, than a year ago. Lambs averaged seven dollars a hundred pounds more at Toronto in May, 1949 than in May 1948. Indications on April 30 were that western farmers planned- to increase wheat by about three million acres over that of 1948, and to reduce the area seeded to coarse grains and flaxseed. In Ontario, farmers intendâ€" ed to reduce their 1949 wheat acreage and to increase the area seeded t0 coarse grains. Rains followed by warm weather during the latter part of May and early June made for good growth in the Prairie Provinces. However, moisture reserves were rel- atively low this spring so that con- tinued satisfactory growth will de-. pend on timely rains. Parts of Sas- katchewan, Alberta and Ontario ur- gently required rain by the middle of June.‘ 1 Review Agriculture For First Half-Year In the June issue of Current Review of Agricultural Conditions in Canada, a publication of the Economics Div- ision, Dominion Department of Ag- riculture, the agricultural situation is reviewed for the early months of the year.
