FcbrtiarY and March, [iarti- culariy the former, are ordinary nioiitlis when fog and gales may be expected along tlic British coast; the weather is variable and uncertain, with no as- suralice of the milder and more stable conditions to be anticipated in April and May. Yet, even if invasion is tried soon or late, Will it necessarily be the Germans who deliver the first blow? b111,: just as it seems quite possible for Germany-des- pite the British navy and the R.A.F.-to land some forces on the coast of England, so it seems equally or even more possible (because of the greater extent of the German-held coastline and British sea superiority) for Britain to land some troops on the coast of western Europe. ilowcver, while the German invasion might succeed despite attempts of the British navy and the R.A.F. to cut the communication and supply lines of troop that might establish beacliheads in Britain, the British invasion almost certainly could not suc- ceed this year-except as it transitory attack in the form of a raid. i‘ i Ill 1' “The acceleration of the war effort of the Uni- ted Kingdom and the wider mobilization of all productive facilities fol" the output of armament and other war material continues to modify pro- foundly the whole trade structure," according to a report received by the Department of Trade and Comlncrce from Frederic iludd, Lliief Canadian 'i:rad_c Commissioner iii the UiJiiCd Kingdom, rt- vicivllig economic conditions in that country. “Air raids and difficulties of communication have from time to time checked the growth of the volume of production but not to ilic extent that might have bccn anticipated.

To date neither the Government nor its protege the Wartime Priors and ‘Prado Board have seen fit to take any action This is all th-e more recrcttabie in view of the fact that they have already stepped in and. set maximum sellimz prices fnr farmers’ products. From this it is verv evident that our Government has one law for the Canadian in- dustriaists and another law for our Canadian farmers They mayclaini as they have in the nnst that they "didn't know." l maintain they have no rilzlit to be so ilznorant. ‘Ilie Maritime Provinces use more sulphate of ammonia: in fact. more of all kinds of fertilizer oer farm than any other section of Canada.

The sveralze farm woodlrt contains about 20 to 25 acres. 1f the farmer olanned his thinninz onero- tions so that he thinned about 6 acres each year he would cover his woodloi; in four years He would then find that the first six act-Pa was ready for thinninlz alzain.

Th brimzs uo the market- inrz problem. The farmer can orc- duce the quantity and the lluflllliv- but he still must sell his orodusts before he can make money. At ore- sent. much lumber is imported each ~ Why? Most of us would im- say that it is because a considerable quantity of acod lumber in Prince Edward Island. It is not sold because there is no marketinrz orlzaniztition. Flar- mers here have lumber to sell. but can't sell it. Lumber dealers can't bnv lumber liere so they import it. 'I‘his is the situation as it exists today. It is true not only of lumber but cf other wood products. What the reason for such a condition? Airain it is the lack of a lzccd markeiinlz onzanization. is condition can be corrected by the buyer 0r bv the farmers themselves. Sec the blctur of Heaven" C. W. League. The buyer can save himself the time cod trouble bv imoortinc from orc- duceis who are orxzanized. Thrt is what he is lioinz and will continua to do as lonz as it is profitable. This loaves it un to the farmers ilir-msclycs No one farmer has a sufficient quantity even if theoun‘- iiv ivcre hilzli. to suoolv the market demand. The lumber dealer therefore can- not be bothered. with his products. Quantity is almost as lmoortan‘ as quality in the sale of lzoods. Th cnlv thinlz left for the farmers to do is to band toozether in miii-ketiniz their wood products so that tiiry can suublv a silfficlonr. quantity i0 interest the buyer. The buyer him- self would welcome this procedure. is Ls not a new idea by any means. yet the farmer today won- ders why he can't. sell his wood pro- ducts. If the farmer himself were buyinlz lumber. would he want to huv it all in on quantity at one time or would he drive all over ‘he country buyiniz a litre here and a little there? The farmers should band toizether in a sufficient her that they can izilarantec the buyer a definite lanze quantity c! lumber and. contract, to stioolv him the quantity he desires. It is then up to the farmers to stand by the} azreement to suoolv this lumber within a. certain time. The aooolnt- ed salesman must have each farm- er's lzuarante that he will supply a certain share of the quantity con- tracted for. This mirzlit iv- handled through the Farmers’ Institute. A representative from the Institute could be sent to the buyer to con- tract far a dnantity of lumber. I’: would then return to the farmers and obtain each farmer's promise to suooly a. definite quantity on a cer- tain date. ‘This scheme can be cur- ried out with other wood oroducil as wel as lumber.
