Our Wa r Prosperity

Ouc of 0111' Culllllltlll failings is an inclina- tion to take the short view. \\'c look around and see little marked difference between today and yesterday, concluding that neither progre5s no; rctrogrcssion is in process. Should we take the long vicw backward, however, and compare recorded facts and figures‘ with those of the prcscnt we may have cause to feel heartened and encouraged, discovering that what we took t0 be a standstill actually was not so, but a slow and steady general progress. This is an c11- couragelnent to take the long view forward as well as backward, and to govern ourselves and our plans accordingly.

We are reminded of this by perusing s. most interesting ‘and informative bulletin just is- sued by the Agricultural Supplies Board 0f the Dominion Department 0f Agriculture, out- lining the Canadian Agricultural programme for 1946, in which are given numerous tables deal- ing with the progress or otherwise of agricul- ture throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion and in this Province in particular. The reviews and recommendation: presented were discussed at a conference in Ottawa last December, at which all provincial department: were represented, together with Federal repre- sntetives, and officials from the United States.

iVe ire not concerned here at present with the discussions and statements for I946, but are greatly interested in finding the wonder- ful growth‘ in our provincial production since the war began. The comparative statistics we present herewith will prove enlightening and encouraging t0 all our readers. About the only marked decrease is in wheat and oats, though hay and clover also show a loss due, no doubt. to the realization of our progressive farmers that it ischeaper toimport feeds than to grow

"flielliimilipart from these nearly all the rest 0f the statistics indicate an amazing increase in our production and output, all the more re- markable in view of the acute scarcity of labour experienced by our farmers in the past five years. . res:

The following are the flgu

Wheat, acreage 19,400 4,000 Oats, acreage 150,000 119,000 Barley, acreage 6,400 13.700 pMixed grains 29,700 54,200 ' Hay and Clover 225,800 218,000 Hogs 41,118 59,000 Cattle 3,227 7,000 Calves 3,056 4,000 Sheep and Lambs 8,832 8,000 -Wocll, lbs. 177,000 213,000 Butter, lbs. 2,073.00 4,267,000

It thus is sccn that. in addition to sending, to the limit, our youths t0 fight the foe, the stay- nt-homes on th; farms did more than even in times 0f peace to kccp the Allies supplied with farm produce. Having made the grade in this respect it is for us t0 keep it up and increase the production and output, which can be done,

1 provided prices are maintained.

Farm implement Prices ‘-

If the Canadian Government had gone out

' Jeliberatcly to crcatc a storm of controversy it

could hardly have chosen a different instru- mcnt than the raising of farm implement prices. The Winnipeg Free Prcrr (Liberal) has this to say m1 this subject:

“fhewestcm farmers may well ask the

' l

crease will result in more pressure on the farm price ceiling. Increased" agricultural prices will resulfin demands by urban workers for still higher wases- Everybody in Canada is getting an object lesson in how inflation works in this single operation. _

“But while one branch of “the Government was authorizing an increase insfarm machinery prices, did anyone ask what effect this would have on agricultural ‘production? The great need at the nlomenl; is for the maximum production possible of all agricultural products. If we fail to get that people are going to starve in Europe and Asia. Surely we are not encouraging farm- ers to produce more food when we grant an increase like ‘this in one 0f the tnost important items 0f the farmers’ cost of production."

Sign of The Times

Wentworth Woodhouse near Rotherham in Yorkshire has been offered t0 the National Trust by its owner, Earl Fitzwilliam. This old Georg- ian mansion is claimed to be the biggest house in England. It stands in a parkland 0f 1,700 acres, and its front facade of 600 feet has a thousand windows.

There are 365 rooms in the mansion and its underground passages extend t0 five miles. During one Doncaster race meeting, when there was a house party, the butler was given a pedo- meter, and in four days it registered 54 miles- In these days of domestic help shortage it is easy to believe a mansion of this dimension is dis- tinctly a. white elephant. Any new guest at the mansion, according to local legend,‘used to be given a, pocketful of colored wafers to strcw along the corridors leading to his room, a la
