All men up to age 64 and all womcn to age 59 were mobilized; food, clothes, petrol were sev- erely rationed, and supplies of other everyday things drastically limited. Exports had to bc de- liberately curtailed, so that in I943 and I944 they were less than mic-third in volume ‘of the i938 level. This released over I,ooo,o0o men and wo- men lsitherto engaged in making exports for direct war work. The British during this time were pion- eers in radar and’ jet propulsion; in penicillin; in the invention and design of the Bailey bridge, in the design and- corlstruction of the Mulberry harbours, and the prefabricated harbours which made the invasion of France possible. British aircraft proved themselves second to none in the world; British scientists collaborated with American and Canadian scien- tists to develop and produce the atoin/[ic liombi" Ending on a. note of optimism, r. yttc — ton says the inventiveness and ingenuity _of British scientists and engineers, and the high Itandard of quality production, "pofintl the will! to the future and show t at we s a. conqil" too the problems which peace is bringifltb" Not forgotten in this fine fiditlon 0i Th! Times is the achievement of other Common- wealth nations, including Canada, about which there are several columns from the Ttmn Ol- tawa correspondent- _____________.__ Wheat Versus Coarse Grains The Monthly Review of the Bank 0f NOV! Scotia says: ' In the light 0f the situation, one of the main problems before the Dominion-Provincial Agriculture Conference was the allocation 0f land resources between food and feedtgrains- l! is obvious that thcre is some justification in the prcscnt statistical position for an expansion 1n wheat acreage — if wheat alone were to be con- sidcrcd. On the other hand, the importanceto our livestock and dairy program of maintaining or evcu increasing feed-grain acrcagcs is equally obvious. On the basis, finally, of‘ the inadvisa- bilitv of reducing either coarse-gram acrcagcs or gsunimcrfalloyv and the probability that bread- in crops would be emphasized in Continental urope in the coming season, thus somewhat lessening the demand for whcaf, the decision was taken to reconlmcnd holding Prairie wheat Kresge at last ycar’s figure of_ 22.6 million acres. " " It seems inevitable, however, in view of the price for wheat and the strong feeling in the $21 that the present demand iustifics increas- Qdancrcagc, that there will be some transfer of d from coarse grains to wheat. Whether the It. out of coarse grains. and livestock and i reduction will continue on a large scale " no be seen. Though there is an enor- demand bfeitnndtcidcdly attractive, particularly . ' still short. Hog production has al- , rolls level, hog raising, with ‘i flaring; inflict-cute lul ‘et- ltction, too, bu shown a (‘in Prtfrlerlhoviocel-dur- Alberta became the largest hog-producing prov- ince, and in the Pfik year of 1944 the Prairie Provinces accounted for some 62% of s total inspected slaughter of 8.8 ntillion head of hogs, whereas in 1939 they supplied only 40% of a total of 3.6 million headQ 0f the record Can. sdian cattle population ‘of 10.8 million head at June 1, 1945, the Prairie Provinccsihcld 45%, against less than 40% of the smallcnpopulation of I939. Butter production rose 44% between 1939 and 1944, the major part of the increase taking place in Saskatchewan, and in _the latter year the three provinces contributed 40% of Canada's creamer! butter output compared with only 30% in I939. Under the influence of good weather and the pressures of war, livestock rais- ing was pcrhaps over-developed in areas not normally devoted to it. To some extent, there- fore, the rc-divcrsion that is taking place is nat- ural and desirable. With present price incent- ives, ltovttcvcr, it may easily proceed a long way towards rc-cslablishing that cxtrcmc dependence on wheat which marked the past experience of the West. _ V What the composition of Prairie agricul- ture should be depends to a considerable ex- tent on export markets. " It is quite true that the present market for wheat is vcry large. On the other hand, the need for meat of our best customer, the United Kingdom, is extremely urgent, and this nccd is not likely to bc met fully for some time to come. Moreover, failure. to make the largest feasible contribution toward meeting this urgent seed might well reduce our chances of obtaining an adequate ‘permanent itiarkct for bacon in the United Kingdom. t-EDITORIAI.

During the war good people were accustom- ed to moralizc that the outcome all depended on the British Empire, and the British Empire de- pended on Divine Providence. Similarly it may be confessed that the future of the Jones Gov- ernment, and this province, depends on the out- come of the Dominion-Provincial Conference. but the Conference depends on Ontario and Quebec. fllitfi Festival of St. David, patron Saint of Wales; presided at the Synod of Victory at Cacrlcon-on-Usk; rclnoved the episcopal cen- tre of Wales to St. Davids, whcrc there is now a. 12th Century Cathedral, ruined Bishop's pal- ace, episcopal college of St. Mary’s, founded by John of Gaunt, and a mediate-val shrine, still vis- itcd by hundreds of tourists annually; St. David was canonizcd in‘ the 12th century.
