Turkeys Disappear s From Retail Market

The absence of turkeys in the retail markets directly following the holiday seasons creates a question in consumcra' minds.

An explanation of the matter was recently offered by Mr. F. M. Nash. District Poultry Pro- ducts Manager. and President of the Agricultural Council. Mr. Nash stated that the majority of turkeys left over after the sea- son were in excess of 20 lbs.. which is considered too large for the average family to use.

He added that this general con- sumer attitude toward the pur- chase of the fowl causes an im- mediate slump in the retail mar- ket. which necessitates their re- moval from local grocers. Subse- quently these birds are placed in cold storage plants for later de- mand. or are ,ocessecl by the various canning factories.

Atop the bier gleamed the great cross of Westminster. Six tall golden candies stood about

the sealed coffin.

'The coffin itself was draped in the red-and-gold royal standard woven in the heraldic designs the crusaders knew.

For two more days the King's body will remain in the hall while his subjects-possibly as many as 200,000 of them-pass by to pay final homage.

Then the body will be moved to Windsor Castle, ll miles west of London. where funeral serv- ices will be held Friday in the presence of kings. queens and gov- ernment notables of half the world. The King will be buried a his anccstora- in st. George's Chapel, inside the castle.

Food Situation Serious In Britain

LONDON. Fob. l2 --(CF)- The British people have been told bluntly that unless their present output of home-grown food increased sharply and soon. they not only face a long ordeal of austerity rationing. but the pros- pect of actual privation.

The warning came from one of .Brit.isn's leading Agricultural authorltia. sir George stapledon. in a full-blown debate conducted through the columns of The Times. It followed a published query from Lord I-fungarton, asking: "when will the people of Britain realize the true position regarding the world's food supplies?"

The situation is serious, replied Sir George. And as no one position of responsibilty dared take unnecessary risk with food supplies either for the present or future generations, sanity de- manded adoption of a long-term agricultural policy.

"rho nation at large and the government of the day should clearly keep before their minds the real possibility of having to face not merely austerity, but down-right privation." he added.

Britianis agriculture future. Sir George said. can only be made secure by thinking and planning in terms of wise rcgionalization of crop rotations.

Lord I-fungarton had started the soul-searching by reminding his countrymen that world food production is far from keeping pace with increasing population, Countries such as Australia and Afsenzinn. normal suppliers of a goodly share of Britisn's food "5. quirements. were progressively consuming more of their own pro- ducts and shipping lest ovsggggg, There was also an alarming drift from the land which had brought about acute shortages and higher Commonwealth. many of them students studying in Britain.

"STAY ON THE FARM MOVEMENT" Sir:-.A few days ago you Pub- lished for me a short contribu- tion touching upon some reasons leading to the emigration of youth from the farm. From among many I would select three. which I think are outstanding, for con- sideration of your readers, especi- ally those of rural location. They are: Lack of remuneration con-

sistent with the in. t ' and labour involved; Infrcquency of days - long

time between financial drinks; The campaign of slander that is being consistently and persis- tently carried on against farming as an occupation in which to be engaged or as a prospective Job for young people.

The first two. of the three cit- ed. are subject to much improve- ment, if not indeed. complete cor- rection; but the third onlast is more difficult to control. It is con- stantly being dlnned into the ears and brought before the eyes. of those who continue to listen or care to read. as well as at so many orstorical contests through- out the country and elsewhere, to which farmers are being court- eoualy invited. It has the most do- vastating effect upon the respect that rural youth should hold to- wards agricultural pursuits as a life occupation. It is chiefly in- strumental in, and responsible for. the vastly increased exodus of our young people from the farms. Just what to do about it is the big problem. as those most frequently engaged in this lil- advised propaganda. unhappily, are those who should be prevent- ing it; but it is something that should and must receive public- ity. Further reference at this time akin to the subject I have in mind is being submitted in poe-i tic form - sort of doggerel poe-y try -and with a profusion of apology to Longfellow. It is as follows:

Tell us not in accent. mournfitl Farmingls but. an awful strife; And the pitifulest. creatures Are the farmer and his wife.
