Filaloaiis Buy _ 10,000 Tractors
Nearly twice as much was bor- rowed by Canadian farmers under provisions of the Farm improve- ments Loons Act in the, first six months of 1949 as in the similar period of i948. The semi-annual report oi the operations under the Act show total loam to June 30, of ‘S18 million-an increase ‘of 45 per cent.
The greatest part of the borrow- ing was to finance the purchase of farm machinery and equipment 0W1” 10.000 tractors were purchased. for which $11 million was borrowed and truck and other agricultural implement purchases were financed through the Act to the extent or $5 million.
Farm buildings and repairs sc- counted for $959,000 of the money borrowed; $309,716 was used for brushing and clearing over 38,000 acres in new ogricult iral ageas; and 8710M for the lnsta ation of farm electric systems.
For the past four years fumes-s ln the west have used the facilities of the Farm Improvement mans Act to a much greater extent than farm- ers in the east. But the report indi- cates an interesting swing-over in this respect. Loans in the first six nionthsof 1949 in Ontario increased U per cent: in Quebec. 132 per cent; and in the Maritime Prov- inces. 99 per cent; while ‘those in the Prairie Provinces only lncreaged by 31 per cent. _
Loans are made to farmers through chartered banks in Canada and are guaranteed in part by the Government. The Act aims at assisting the average farmer and provides credit under terms and conditions which are convenient and suitable to his needs and to the part of the country in which he
' lives.
WORLD RICE CROP For the first time since the war, Asia's rice crorp is about back to
' sire-war average. It is estimated
that world growers had more land in rice than ever before and turned out a fbigger total crop than the
svwsgo rigs crop before the war.

CHILDREN’ FACING THE LIQUOR HABIT
In one school we had several boys who appealed to their teacher to have them excused from the lecture. When pressed for their reason they reported that I was setting up test tubes. which they feared I would use to make a blood test of the students. They had, they confessed, been drunk the night before. They stayed, however, and asked more than the usual number of questions. Whe-
ther or not they alter their habits

"What is wrong with my moth- er?" asked one 7th grade student, alter giving a description of the family visit to s Chicago night club. She described the kind of drink used. the time that elapsed before her mother “passed out," and expressed fear that her moth- er was suffering from some un- usual malsdy. Being a very obvi- ous csse of intoxication, 1 replied without hesitation, "Your mother was drunk." The shock of realis- ing that "mother was drunk" made her slump into her seat with tear- filled eyes.
“What can I do for my alcoholic father?" is an oft-repeated ques. tlon.
