Sisty Five nfiiiien nellaee Per, wheat Growers

Mixed resction have greeted the smruuncensent by the ibominion Government of its intention to pay the western growers Intox-

, imstely eight cents per bushel on ' wheat delivered under the British , contract. - ” The Western grower is awar- entiy receiving less than he ea- ' peoted and felt entitled to. On the 0 other hand a portion of the press condemns the payment as unjust- ' 'iiied. unnecessary. and a raid u n ' the public treasury by the farmers.

When the wheat Contract was first negotiated. the western farm- er anticipating depression follow- ing the war. agreed to accept less than the current world price. in return for stability in the post war period.

in the contract. it was agreed that in determining the price oi the 43-49 and 40-50 crops. that the fact that wheat had been sold in the two previous years at less than world prices would be taken into consideration.

K Britain, apparently felt. how- : ever. that as the price had con- tlnued at a reasonably sucng lev-

j :1 the wheat grower should not

expect any consideration for loss-

l es sustained in the two wars of the Contract.

I”, nents of the Contract sys-

tern of selling have stated that the

. western fer-rner lost up to 000

million dollars by not receiving

world prices. Should this the so.

. the 65 million he actually gets

does not appear to be unduly gen-

.-

xicurishing the old and and

stabilizing wheat prices.

L If such b course of action had not been followed the Canadian icxvaycr could easily have paid much greater amounts for Dan-

' eltlc requirements.

The Horse

' one of the most significant changes in farming has been the gihlnse from horses in tractors and trucks. There is ample evid- ence to indicate that the horse. as a source of farm power. is slowly yaasurely on the we cut. , Evidently. no ques ion exists in ;he farmers mind as to the airpor- Ofiiy oi the tractor in efficiency. :9"-idv work. and relief from and- css walking over the fields.

It is. however. with considerable hint that we view the change. ;l'in combinsgionofa philosophical miner. s fatvhorse and the ertils it" was one um. kept the farm- nx operation very close to nature.

Cheese Conference

The annual meeting of the Dairymen's Association asked that an effort be made by the Dairy Farmers of Canada to have cheese organisations meet to plan for marketing in the coming year.

Action has already been taken on this matter and, already On- tario cheeae producers have been discussing with those of Quebec. action on the cut.

it is quite probable that in the near future the suggested meeting will be arranged.

rotate Growers Meeting

The annual meeting of the Po Growers Association this er was a model oihdecorum and he discussion of controversial is- sues conducted with every court-

We believe that as a result. bet- ter feeling has been developed be- tween growers and dealers to- gether with greater respect for each others problems.

United and harmonious action on the part of all concerned can go much to solve” potato prob- one.

Farm Prices 8. Market Report

- from the weekly report by Mr. w. 3. Shaw. Deputy Minister of Agriculture: v.

The potato k continues to be dull allsoudi potatoes are bold- iog generally to the minisnum price level. Government support pur- chases in the United States were lit million bags last week; About 02 million butlels or hbout 105.- 000 csrlcsds have been taken off under swport. A small export to outside oountriu has been made by Ilslne. but ewolies of Spanish and other orders have been filled by. countries outside of North Am- ercs. ' - -

Movement has been light for the past week. However. farmers diould not be unduly worried and trytopresstoomsnyon tbernar- ket in its present condition. Our holdings in Egsinrl Canada are far less than this time last year. At the same time indications are that harvesting of early crop in he United States will be consid- erably below last year. Our road conditions will have a limiting ef- fect cn movement for the next few weeks. and should help to correct matters.

Livestock

Livestock prices on hogs and lows were down in Moneton in line with Montreal. while all other livestock prices remained t 1.

In response to anticipated Easier trade local prices have gone up to rather unusual heights for choice steers. The Fat Stock Show and Sale at Amherst realized sky high rates. The Grand Champion sold at 05c per pound: the lie- servs at 75c and the balance at prices down to a low of 35c on the hoof. The average. price per pound was.55.4lc per pound. The average weight of steers was 708.40 pounds, and the average price received steer was 0800.70. it is stated that s i” srable block of animals is coming to Prince Edward island. uiiiiie following is the market dc-

These pl-lces,are f.o.b. Charlotte- town, and are subject to change. Prices all over Canada of fertil- isers are hkher and it is again urged that the more concentrated snixtu-res are the cheapest fertil- isers. 'Wlth cattle and hogs at present level! the problemgof ade- quate livestock and feed supplies is of first importance.

Dairying

The" price of butter advanced two cents on the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick markets during the past week. This is no doubt due to the shortage that is now appearing. not only in the Mari- timlgs. but throughout Canada as we .

Factory price is quoted at 01c f.o.b. Halifax with locll Jobbing 550. The price of fresh made No. 1 solids on the Montreal market at present is 05 1-ec. Toronto fresh rnade 72c-75c. Board but-, ter on both those markets ro- rnsins unchanged at 57c.

A similar advance took place on New Brunswick markets which are quoting creemeries to whole- salers. one and two pound flats. cl 1-ac; wholesale to retail stores. one and two pound fists. 05c. sympathy with that of the other two provinces, the price of butter advanced on he Charlottetown markets. Wholesale rice is quot- ed at 02 1-2c f.c.b. harlottotown, wilds local Jobbing at 04c.

A shipment of New Zeslsnd but- ter has arrived in lialliax and is being distributed. our informa- tion is that Canada Paektrs Ltd. are to the distributors for the lferit e Provinces but the usual ,. 7 is followed in buying the butter; that is. application must be made to the Dairy Products

It is reported that there are approx- imately 7,000 cars of grain behind the orders at Fort William and it is difficult to get a car shipped out within thirty days. it then takes two weeks to reach destin- stlorl.

There is some seed grain still moving from island points. Car loading at a Western point today at 01.00 per bushel.

warble l'ly Campaign

The warble ny wnosisn is pro- needing and 1000 pounds 0! con- trol mstsrial have already been ordered. Seventy-five school dis- tricts have been organised for the csmrpsi . The cost in bulk of the powder will be fifty-cents per pound as against 81-00 in packages and the cost per cow for two treatments will be approx- imately five cenis. All our school districts should be organised for the fray.

Woei

Quite a few inquiries about wool have been received. All that can be said at present is that wool is still strong. Since the first of the year prices have passed the 01.00 mark for flceced wools and the market remains then with only limited supplies of wool available. The Canadians Commercial Corp- cratien. a Government body for the purchase of vvools. has recently been set up for purchases for military contracts. This will in- clude domestic wools as wall II

wools and should, if any- thing. tend to strengthen an al- ready strong market.

In the old Latin prayer, which is translated as the collect for the

Christians pray "that thy grace may always prevent and follow us." It needs hardly in be pointed out that the word "prevent" is here used in the old sense of going be- fore. To the Christisn.grace means nothing less than the personal in- gucnce of Christ at work in men's ves. - Understood in this way the pra.

The grace of God creates in men the graciousness of Christ. 'He.has made us what we are." wrote Iren- aeus, "that he might make us what he is himself." while human life endures. that remains God's un- ehsneine cbiective and bin inces- sant task. 'It is achieved through forgiveness. 'i'he man who knows himself forgiven'is marked by a deep humility, for he also knows he has nothing which he has not received.

It is natural that the collect continues: "Make us continually to be given to all good works" That is what happens when God's grace goes before and follows-a man; it is its inevitable consequence in action. V V I A
