Fulure Bright Eor Farming

After several succcssive years of record- brcaking farm CZ1>ll income the farmers of Canada are in the best financial position they have ever enjoyed, writes Mr. l. P. Harman, editor of Farm Equipment Dealer, in the cur- rent issue of thc Jfoizrlary Tfznes. Bank de- posits of agricultural communities are high and throughout the wztr vcars farmers bought mil- lions of \'ic:c~ry' Bonds. Reports from loan and mortgage holders indicate that never in the his- tory of that business has so much land been .-\l>s(‘1lt this time was the land buying sitltirgc that reached ridiculous propor- tions during and follmving \V0rld \\'ar I. This time farmers titilized their increased earnings to pav off their accumulated indebtedness and to establish cash and security reserves against pcacctintc purcltnscs 11s well as to take care of the inevitable rainv dziv.

Recently completed surveys of the pur- chasing plans of farmers in the three Prairie Provinces indicated salcs of new machinery- trttclas, automobiles, n widc range 0f equip- ment for thc farm lutmc and t1lll(‘l' buildings, as well as cost cxpcnditurcs contemplated for ir- rigation, electrification, new farm buildings and othcr works in.the immediate future, as soon as required goods and Serviccs are avail- able.

Indicative of the itiauner in which new and hctter methods of farming are taking hold, the onc wnv disc will substantially r6- placc the plow as thc basic tillage tool through- out the \\'c~t.

The self-propelled combine came into its own during the war years and already has es- tablished itsclf as a significant machine in modern farming. In addition there are new bect harvesters which top, lift and clean the crop as they move along, mounted on tractors. New corn harvesters will cut the corn, husk it, deposit the cobs in a steel box wagon pulled behind and run the stalks and leaves through a hammer mill attached to the machine, spread- ing the residue along the grottnd as the tuacli- inc moves along. Tcsts have provcn that its use cuts corn borer hazards by 95 per cent.

Indicative of the swing toward nicchntiizzt- tion on the fnrnt are thc comparisons bctwccti the numbcrs of some itntchincs on farms in Canada as rcportcd by the Census of 1931 and

of 1941 : ' e Machines 1931 1941 Tractors 105.360 158,844 Combines 8.917 18.067 Thresher: .. 106,544 92 .744 Electric M0! 18,639 59,4147

The foregoing figures show not only the great increase in the use of tractors and com- bines over the 10-year pcriod, but also reveal how the combine is lxiginnitig to mztlce inroads upon the use of the threshing tnachine as the basic final harvesting equipment. Fignificant too is the incrcase in the use of electric motors 0n farms, itidiczititig the fact that fztrzncrs ztrc quick to take advantage of gradually expanding rural electrification. The comparison of the 1931 figures with the estimated totals for 1946 of 225,000 tractors and 25,000 combines on Canadian farms indicate that the swing con- tinues steadily. Indicatcd purchasing plans of farmers in every part of thc country rcvcal that not only will this continue to be thc case, but that once new machines are available in inun- bcrs, the trend may become even more pronounc- ed.

A Canadian Looks‘ At Britain

(By C. 1". FIIIII‘—BIIHIX Chronicle) *

1 .

It il a bit of a shock at first- being back in Britain after seven long yearn in which so mucn has happened. And so much of it hun- pened right here. and la still hap- pening, Let me try to tell you whet I mean.

You step off the ship at South- ampton, wondering about a lot. of things, but mainly how will the bomb damage look. and how huve the people themselves been affect- ed by the war?

I, for example, wanted mos’. of all to know how the little grocery shop, and the butcher shop. and the bakery. in a back street. not. fur from Marble Arch, had fared. I used to deal with them when I lived ln London before the war. The apartment house in which I had lived was there all right, in- tact, but where all those little shops had bee nwas a gaping hole, with gaunt walls and weed-grown rubble. A V-2 had landed there.

But. the British are proud ' of their war scars Proud in the same way that any people who have weathered an ordeal and. survived may be proud, and rightly so. In Liverpool, where the entire centre of the city was obliterated; in Coventry, where service: are still held in the stark ruins of what was once one of England's loveliest cathedrals; in Manchester, in Ber- rcw-ln-‘Furness, the scars may be found.

I O I

They are not always as obvious to the visitor. ‘perhaps, unless he happened to be familiar with the locality prior to war, but apparent none the less. Just an the Oren: Explosion of 1917 left its mark on Halifax. Nova Scotia, of the '38 hurricane on the countryside of New England.

Let us leave the past for u mom- ent. though, and see what is hap- pening to the people themselves in the post-war Britain of today.

India and ESYD! and the Co-nfer- ence of Foreign Ministers at Paris

have dominated newspaper nrnd- lines but the food situation is what is really uppermost 1n

people's minds. We have all heard about the need for sending wheat frcm Canada, but the real truth of the present shortage in food and household supplies did not begin to sink in until I sew people queue- ing on the ship for soap flakes. candy-and all sorts of other stuff that we would take for granted in Canada-to take home to Britain.

Women passengers-and men, too-lugging ermfuls of coup. pau-

kets of cereal, and e0 forth, through the lounge of s former luxury lltner were a strange

spectacle, indeed. A few weeks in Britain, and you would soon un- derstand why they dl-d it.

I have been fortunate. I suppose, because I am staying in a , West- End hotel where food ls supposed to be relatively plentiful. But I had been here two weeks before 1 saw a single egg, and that itvas de- livered to my room where I found it reporting in state on the dressing table. That was my fortntghtly ration, and I had to deliver it in person to the head waiter the fol- lowing morning with detailr-d in- structions as to how to prepare it! It sounds ridiculous. I know, but after you have eaten nothing hut powdered eggs or klppers far four- teen days in a row st the break- fast table. a fresh egg begins to take on a new value,

U I O

Take a loo-k around some o! the grocery counters in the big de- partment stores, and you will get some idea of what the average housewife ls up against. The oth- er day I was in t! well-known de- partment store which, heforc the war, specialized i-n luxurious groc- orics; the only meat available was lamb flank, and it cost one shilling and twopence a pound!

Remember, that that ls all any- one is allowed tn spend for meat each week (roughly thirty cents), and you get some notion of the scrimplng that must be done tn buy even i; small mast varletyr such as we see about the streets at home. Birds were selling for seven shillings and slxpence (about a dollar-nnd-s-half) each. And pig- eons ure no-t meaty.

Oranges, grape-fruit, and ban- anas are almost mythical luxuries, and may only be purchased. if available, for children and inval- ids. You can buy peaches and apricots in some of the largr-r es- tablishments, if you do not mind paying from 2s 6d to 12s 6d. 150 cents to 2 dollars 50) each for thvm. And 1 saw a couple of lowly melons in a shop window the oth- er day at £2 each. or roughly twenty dollars for the two of them.

Add to all that the fact that hnusewlfcs have to queue for bread, that soap, lard, cheese, and other staples are el-ther rlflKllY rationed or unobtalnable, and you begin to understand something of

the austerity of daily living in post-war Britain. The troubles do not end with

food, either. I was visiting friends thc- c-ther day in a small rouriiry village. Thoy have growing child- ren who have to be clothed. Con- slrlcr what that means when it takes more than hslf-aqvr-ai-‘s sup- ply.’ of rowvw". tr. bur n stilt or overcoat. The mother of that fam- ily had made herself a cutiple of extra dresses from the tic-longev- needed black-out curtains. Somhrc. perhaps. but _serviceable. Even household goods, like curtains and sheets, take coupons, and s house guest, lf he wants to be popular. brings his own soap and towel

Why this apparent shortage, not merely of luxuries, but of the everyday needs of ordl-nary living? How does it happen that a "oun~ try which, a few weeks ago, cele- brated the defeat of Germany. Italy, and Japan by the most mag- nificent psDCEIIlOn in all history, is more rigidly rationed has less of the good nnm of life. must face a measure of austerity in daily llvlng which exceedmsny-

Guide To Britain's New Towns

Recentlyn- the United Ktnsdom Government published the final re- port 0f the Relth Committee on New Towns, In view of the im- portance of this report. a summary of lts main proposals will probably be of some interest.

While aiming at the provision of "idcns and guidance forfhose who will have the rcsponsthllrty of creating new towns" the Com- mittee stressee; the necessity fo_r full latitude In variety and experi- merit,

In the main the Committee pre- fers entirely new towns to ex- tending the existing ones because of tho difficulties of interfering with existing interests. In some cases, however, enlargement would benefit the town and in some dis- persal areas-this applies to parts of the Greater London area-com- plotr-ly new towns could no‘. be sited without seriously reducing tho green bclt area.

The size of a new town, says the Committee, should be normal- ly 80.000 to 50.000, though within a ten miles radius there milk‘. be 80,000. In support of this it quotes the result of a broadcast enquiry, most of the replies to which fav- cured a town between 20.000 and 60,000. Ccie interesting suggestion is the creation o-f smaller new towns in remoter areas which. by facilitating access, to modu-n amenities, might check the pres- ent serious population drift from country to town.

x x x

On the problem of “balanced" communities. mlttee points out that not only an economic which can be solved by providing opportunities for employmerfi at all lc-vels hut also one of class dis- tinctions. "As long as social class- es exist all must be represented" l: a watchword, and the report proposes that the new town should include not only factories and shops but also head offices, sect- ions of government departments and research institutlcns- It should also attract. professional and retired people. To strike 1he needed balance. house: of varying size and type should be construct- ed from the outset.

The Commlttee goes on to dis- cuss such fundamental needs as an adequate water supply, ease of draining site, the variety of lay- out possible with undulating ten ruin and the desirability of siting on a main railway rather than on n branch, and of good access to an arterial mad, Under favourable conditions the Committee thinks people and industries could be at least. l5 miles from an existing , town (25 1n the Greater London area). The ultimate population should he fixed at the outset. For 60,000 tho Committee suggests ac- quiring 5,000 acres for a built-u? area and 6,000 as 11 peripheral hel‘. For the main centre with shops, public buildings, cinemas, hotels. public gardens, etc,, about 60 acres , would be required. Another 600 acres would be needed for an In- dustrial zone (assuming no heavy industries). The remainder of the built-up area would become n gen-
