Farm flash Income

Average cash income per farm in Canada during the war years was $I,750, according to figures compiled by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture from returns made by thle Do- minion Bureau of Statistics. The bureaus fig- ures show that the total cash income of all farms in Canada, including subsidies, for the six years from I940 to I945 inclusive, was $7,- 702,000,000 or an average over the six years of $I,283,767,000. Using the I941 census total of farms in Canada at 732,700 the average total cash income per farm, including subsidies, works out as follows for each of the six years:

i940 . . . . . . . . .. $i.045-00 i941 . . .. 1.24500 i942 .. 1.50000 i943 . .. . 1,900.00 i944 ... .. . 2,500.00 194s .. .. . . . . . . . . .. 2,300.00

Important Poultry Mission

A mission from the United Kingdom is in Ottawa to study the development of Canada's poultry industry. The mission is conferring with officials of the Production, Science and Ex- perimentill Farms Services of the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture.

Results of the research in poultry pathology, nutrition and anagement will be brought to the Mission's attention and Canada's national poultry breeding policy which includes Record of Performnace will be explained. This Record traces the inherited ability of pedigreed POIIIIYY to grow swiftly, to produce quantities of large, good quality eggs, to survive, and to _transmit these desirable characteristics to offspring.

The Mission will report its findings to the United Kingdom Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries and to the Department of Agriculture for Scotland on behalf of their Poultry Advisory Committees with a view to improving the poul- try breeding program in the United Kingdom.

Ii. S. Election

Today between forty and fifty million of our American neighbors will go to the polls to elect a new House of Representatives, one- third of the Senate, a number of State gover- nors. Judging by press comment the Dema- crats, who have ruled both houses since the days when Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal swept everything before them, havelittle chance of con- tinuing power. Inflation, meat famines, strikes, the famous muff of Truman and Wallace, the loss of tho inspired leadership of Roosevelt- all conspire against them.

The expected massacre, if it takes place, predicts the Ottawa Journal, will be in the Northern states—the New England, Middle At- Iantic and East and West North Central States, an area holding the balance, so for as the House of Representatives is concerned, of 250 seats. In this area, in the last election, 30 Democratic seats were won by the narrow vote of between S0 and 53 per cent. A one per cent shift will eliminate II Democrats, a two per cent shift eliminate another nine, a three per cent shift another ton. And the Republicans have but to capture 26 seats to control the House. I

Democrats, seemingly feeling that the bell is about to toll for them in the House of Rep- resentativcs, pin their hopes on retaining the Senate, where the standing now is: Democrats 55, Republicans 39, Progressive I. _But it is by no means certain that the Republicans woiit make the net gain of I0 seats that would give them a Senate majority.

Total production of milk in Canada con- tinues to decline and present trends indicate that production in I946 will be about 3 per cent or around 500 million pounds less than in I945. Fluid milk soles to the ond of September were rail above those of the corresponding period of

' Creamery butter production also continues to decline, with the drop in September being particularly marked, due to the recent farm- ers’ non-delivery strike in Alberta. Butter stocks as at the beginning of October were slightly lower than at the coi-osponding time a year ago and, states the Current Review of Agricultural Conditions in Canada, unless pro- duction is increased during the winter months, it will probably be necessary to reduce the but-

. ter ration to less than 6 ounces per week.

Cheese production continues to decline and It is doubtful, says the Review, if that production for I946 will total more than I40 million pounds. lt is evident that the export contract of I25 mil- lion pounds will not be filled before the end

Canada's Defence ' Policy

dflaskntoon Stet-Phoenix)

Until the United Natl-ans mili- tary staff committee decides upon the size of the contribution Can- ada should be prepared to support for international defence, the cur- rent program must be considered in terms of (a) its effectiveness for the defence of Canada in even: of a surprise attack and (b) the ex- tent to which it does provide a nucleus for a rapid expansion to a war fpotlng. The three services will have this in common: That part of their strength will be wide- ly distributed throughout lire country lo train civilian reserves and only a part, will be immediate- ly available in case of a sudden attack. Guided missiles and atomic weapons have altered basically the position of defensive forces. Ii is no longer possible to lhink in terms of static defence, or lining our shores with men and guns to pre- vent lnvaslon. Rather, we must. have (as a last resort if interna- tional peace plans fall) s force prepared to become immediately integrated into other defence for- ces to meet; the enemy either be- fore he lands upon this continent or ready to move quickly to any part of the continent on which he does land. The odds are greatly that. in the unhappy event of a future war. Canada's best defence will be to send its men to the scene of the trouble (which may be Ln Europe or Asf-z) to defeat the enemy before he is lri a pooli- tion to strike at this country, This has been the traditional pattern of our defence and it is likely to withstand the upheaval of rhirnic weapons and jet propulsion. The significance, then. of our future defence forces will lie less in the size and character of the permanent farce than 1n the ‘sji-"Ed with which industry and manpower can be converted to a war footing. We mobilized slowly in 1939 and 1940 because few either here or abroad saw the full size of the task ahead. But when we did be- gln to mobilize, the initial speed with ivhioh our force could be brought to bear against the enemy was set for us by the speed with which our industry could turn out equipment. Once industry was geared to war production, then the significant factor became the rate at which men could be tmlned to
