British Farm Programme P

Mr. Robert S. Hudson, Minister of Agricul- ture iii the United Kingdom, has told the House of Coitiinons that lie expects the British plough to break all previous records iii the coming year. This will be imperative because of the heavy military demands on Allied shipping. One of the first steps will be to expand night farming, which is now practised on a small scale when the moon is full. The Minister, however, hopes to see this ivork continue when no moon is showing and is confident that the blackout difficulties can be overcome by equipping tractors with head- lights in such a manner that these will not at- tract cncmy aircraft.

The Ministry of Agriculture plans to increase the acreage 0f wheat by six hundred thousand acres during the next few months, The planting of potatoes will be increased by ten per ccnt., as well as other staple vegetables. The acreage of sugar beets has already been expanded and will be maintained ilt that level. Every effort will also be made to produce more milk. This last Spring was unfavourable, but even so more than ten million gallons of milk were obtained than in the best year before the war, which represents an iticrcase of thirtccn million gallons over last year. Mr. Hudson is proud of the achievements of British agriculture and states that thus far it has exceeded every goal set for it.

Women are serving now with Britain's Home Guard, the defence force which iii littlc more than three years has grown from a shot-gun and pitch-fork army into a highly organized army. But the trouble, so far as women go, is that this particular aspect of their war scrvicc is absolutely unofficial. The bzin on enrollment nf women in the Home Guards still stands -—Thc \\'ar Office is adamant about it -—but women nevertheless are serving in auxiliary sections charged with first aid, communication, transport and kitchen work of the Home Guards,

The Justice Department, Says justice hiinister Si. Laurent, has abandoned the old policy of seeing that prison labor was not allowed to ex- pand production to the point ivhcre it would com- pete with civil labor. It is fclt all useful work possible should be obtained from the prisoners. Army uniform stores are being taken into the prisons for reconditioning and agricultural pro- duction at the institutions was being increased beyond the needs 0f the prison establishment it- self. An arrangement has been worked out with the Ontario government under which the remis- sion branch grant tickets of leave to certain pris- oners to allow them to assist in farm labor.

It has been estimated that the cost in a year of subsidizing the importation bf crude oil will be not less than $30,000,000. On top of this is the estimated amount of the butter subsidy in a year of $15,000,000 and the Corporation is still (leni- ing with claims for subsidy on fluid milk, al- though the actual subsidy period ended over three months ago, and the total for this will be $3,- 000,000.

Sir,-According to the news col- umns in your Alberta contemporary tTne Herald of Calgary) the fed- eral minister of agriculture, Hon. J- G. Gardiner. advised a prairie audi- ence that "the most important thing for the farmer to do was to get. out of debt ...These are the at. years for Western Canada and this was the time to save."

I think this is first-class advice. but I also think that it is hardly fair to give the general urban read- er the impression that. in farm language, "everything is hunky- dory" with the wheat growers? Turning back the pages of cereal history, my farm journal would re- mind all concerned that. (forgetting entirely the fearful experiences of the (llDllgflL-d-EDXCSSTOH decade) the wheat farmer's revenues are still quite modest, and furnishes the following spectacular table of con- trasts. showing the production and value of ivheat. in .917 as compared with 1941:

It is evident, therefore, that. the d:cision to improve the price (to the farmer) in the i942 season, from an average oi 50 cents the bushel to 70 cents. is a modest step in the right direction?

The immense over-burden of farm debt, which has been accumulating over the thin and profitless years since 1930, will largely nullity p115- ent. price bctt/erments — including livestock - for two or three years. This iliimense "indtbtedness al- ready carries interest charges at. too high a level, if it is to be scr- vlced out of current income, and I think the three prairie governments, siipporird by the farm organiza- tions. are on the right track. in call- iiig lur reiutioing, or amortization, til. interest. rates more in alignment. with the value of money today?

From the white decks-of the -"Lady" boats many a tourist has thrilled at. the sight of alm-treed islands stand- ing out oPthe blue sea. Now not. all the "Ladies" survive, and under those palms and t-he white-roofed houses goes on a harsh struggle for nothing less than existence.

And that. is what. it. means when we have no bananas. no Jamaica oranges, less sugar. We lose a minor item in our diet, buy oranges from California instead of from the West Indies-but in the Indies a large native population wonders if and what. it. is to eat, and a small white minorit, worries about the possibil- ity_ of r ots and bloodshed.

The first pastor of Try°ll and Becicque made his home atfffryon the only one of the early tnimsiers 1,0 do so. He wrote iii August of how he preached the first Sunday on the Island “in the beginning of June" teither June 1st. or June 8th) in the partially fmishedcliapcl a; Tryoii, There were no window's. no pews, no pulpit, no lntcrioi" fin. ish, and probably no door fCl‘ hing- es, like glass, plaster, and pain’. were scarce and costly ln Tryon 0f i817. Mr. Flshpool could however preach quite acceptably without, a pulpit and the devout Metliodlsifi of 125 years ago could sing with great fervour “My God the Spring of all my Joys" without having ti ‘cushioned w to immediately af- terwards re ax on.

The greatest need was glass for the windows. and a stove for the the winter. These Mi". Flshl>°°1 55W must, come from the generoslty vi (Lhers; accordingly he exchanged pulpits for a week or two with the Ministers at Backville. Wallace. and other flourishing churches across the Straits.

In his letter Mr. Flshpool tells not without l1 little humor of his SUCC€5SI—"All.llOU8h they this fellow ministers) refused to let me beg, I was determined to see what Icould do by borrowing giving them 800d security, even the Divine promise. ‘he that. giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord." They liked their security and so laid down their dust. I was enabled to return las’. night with glass, stove. and money to spare." Thus did Nova Bcotia and New Brunswick have a share in the first Methodist church at Tryon. It was some years lnber that the interior was finally finished. The high pulpit which stood on posts in this church was erected through thelgeneroslty of Revkd Fitzgerald, an Irish Hancisian priest stationed in i823 at. the Ro- man Catholic mission charge of Charlottetown, where his black thorn walking-stick was an import. ant factor in toning the moriiLlife of the younger members cf the community. His eccentricity which included an offer to the Charlotte- town Methodists of twenty shil- lings for a bell. led to him being practically asked to resign in 1829.

And He Wrote The Book!

(Times Review)

In this war-weary world, a news despatch that has in it n. bright. touch of humor is like n. breath o1 fresh air after a long session of 10a- ing at poker. So no apology is made for retelling one which already may have come to your attention.

Last week in Washington. D.C., Price Administrator Leon Hender- son ran out of gas - and regula- tions which he formulated himself prevented him from getting an emer- gency supply in a can. Here is how [he news story describes it:

Walking to a gasoline station with a container Mr. Henderson was refused gas.

"Can't do it, mister," the attend- ant: said. "Regulations say the za-s has to be served in the tank of the car. Look at the notice lnstdr- your ration book."

"I know, I know," Mr. Hender- son said. "I wrote those regulations. But, I'm out. of gas. How am ‘l supposed to get the car here?"

"Get somebody to push you in here, I guess," suggested the ll- tcndttnt.

"That's not necessary." Mr. Hend- cson argued. The regulations pro- vide foi" emergencies like this. l ought to known, I'm responsible for them." -

"Read that last ygur book," the a 0

ragraph inside mdant persist-

That. paragraph bud:

“The station at lndant. is per- mitted to deliver gasoline only into the tank of the vellcle described on the front; cover of this book. Do not nsk him to violate the law."

Of course rigid enforcement oi the rezulations governing the ramm- iiig of gasoline ls imperative. NJ one doubts today that the scarcity of liquid fuel is a very real thin? Just the same that simple lltte news storv makes one want to chuckle. Now if orilv George Cottrel- 1e or Donald Gordon. . .

Poor Man’s Smoke

(Winnipeg Flee Press) 5P¢B~klll8 0i tiie revolutionary as- DOlH-s 01 this global war, has any- body noticed ivnat. it has done to the 91W? 101111)‘ Clkfll"! At one fell swoop it has toppled it from its pedestal and replaced it with the tailor-made cigarette. Once the trade-mark of the idle rich and bloated plutocracy, the cigarhas become a, poor man's smoke ivliile the smoker 0t bought. n cigarettes is marked by that. fact as a person ot wealth and substance. 1n rural Manitoba, a colleague re- ports. the hired men are now smok- ing cigars while me 5Qulfe5 of the pflillLflLlOn smoke iuady-maae cigar- ettes. ‘this aroused our colleague’; iiiqiiisltivcness, and here are the ec- oiicniics of tobacco consumption. cigarette taxes have been increas- cd several times since the war be- gan, Smokes which once cost. a pen- nv each now sell l6 for a. quarter. '1 lie normal or average smoker ccn- siimcs about 20 cigarettes a. day. 'lnus it. now costs him about b2 cents a (lay for his cigarettes. Few cigar smokers, on the other hand. dtstroy more than four or nve of their noxious weeds a day. The price of cigars remains today what it, was before the war. A nickel will still buy a cigar. The Government doesnt care what it docs to cigar- ette smokers. but it has been care- ful of the cigar smokers. It now happens that a normal cigar smoker if any cigar smokers are normal of which there is some doubt. can get by with twenty cents or twenty-five cents a day for his nicotine ration. Ergo: It. is cheaper to smoke cig- ars than cigarettes. and cigars have beccme the poor man's smoke.

SUMMER NOCTUB-NE

Wade in the sleep that. lies upon these meadows,

Knee-deep it lies, and more, waist.- deep, eye-deep,

And leveled of‘! in gray that hows no owl. ~

Througlh unremembering silence of seep.

Step over the edge. and enter. and wade on

Through rising tides of sleep till you have found

Forgetfulness of peopled more: for- gone

And silence with no memory of sound,

No other sleep will quit such mien as we

Of mOrlfltl tiredness that, can and no res

‘This side of level alumbe that mus

Like swelling tides. like silence un- oppresse ,

Like this tliiat on the stat-lit mea-

ow es For man's lost. wading in, up ho his eyes.
