Farlm problems and the work in progress at the Illus- tration Stations and Experimental Farm will be dismissed, while a judging class in livestock will he an zuldetl feature. The prograln opens I\Ionda_\" at .\Ir. Ilugh l. .\lacDonald's farm at Blonticcllo, and it is evident from the list of special speakers that the discussions will be both profitable and interesting. The field days are being held under the capable direction of Mr. \\', N, Black, supervisor of Illustration Stations for the Province. The value Of this service, of course, is in direct proportion to the number of farmers participating. Busy as they may be with their farm chores at the present time, they cannot afford t0 miee an educational opportunity ‘of this kind, which has proven to be one of the most successful means of promot- ing farm efficiency and qlselty production. "From Him That Hath Not" Under the above heading tie Ottawa Journal has the following editorial comment: .“Prince Edward Island, cradle of Confedera- tion, has had another stumbling-block tossed in its path in the raising of the Canadian dollar to par with the American. Her small indus- tries, less vocal than the newsprint or "old- 'mining enterprises of central Canada, suffered a severe blow in the change and are casting about to find a. cushion for the shock. “Great bulk of Prince Edward Island's prod‘- ucls are exported to the United States. These include live and canned lobster, seed potatoes, canned chicken, furs raised on the Island's fox- fzlrms, and lamb fattened on the pastures near the sea, making it a de luxe product on the New York and Boston markets. Decline of farming in the Island has been a matter of serious concern for its provincial government and for its representatives in the House of Com- mons in Ottawa. \\'ith the recent drop in the value of the American dollar paid Canadian exporters, the situation is aggravated. “While quality 0f products in the Garden of the Gulf is high, average earnings are much lower than in either of the heavily-industrializ- ed central provinces or the West. Furthermore. P.E.I. .\I.P.’s at Ottawa say that their PTWIH" has been passed up in many of the benefits dished out to its larger sisters. Sweltering in their offices on Parliament ldill they look mourn- fully on the decreasing stream of gold flowing across the U.S. boundary and murmur: From him that hath not shall be taken away. even that which he hath. They admit, IIOWGVBI’. that Srices for their choice, harvests of farrn and oastal waters now stand at an all-time hlfllh" Farming Then And Now ‘Mr. Ralph \\'ightitian, a British farmer, gives thc following graphic account of his old prc- Grcat \\'ar I experiences: In the old days money entered very much less into farming operations than it dOes t0- day. .\ good dual of the meat eaten in the farm house was pig nlcat, killed aild cured at home. The eggs and milk were produced at home, the butter and cheese were made in the farm dairy. The fires in the farm house were stoked with timber from the woods and hedges, and it was most ilnnsual for any coal to be burnt. In my nlothcrs young days even can- dles and soap were made at home. Beer was brewed from barlev grown on the farm or cider was made from the home orchard. The horses were fed from the fsrl and there was no bill for motor spirit or oil. Purchased feed- ing stuffs and fertilizers were practically un- known, and the fertility of the land was main- tained by tlie manure of the animals fed on the products of the holding. The few imple- ments were fairly primitive and were made lo- cally by the village blacksmith. They lasted a lifetime and were handled down from father to Mm; g farmer set up his son in business there was still very little need for any great slim of hard cash. For a year or two before the sen married the father would save a few extra heifer calves and ewe lambs so that the stock of his own farm was increased to the absolute ; wok and consisted mainly of young animals. ' , ken the son started in farming he took a per- of his father's livestock, a couple 0f I103 bred horses illllg gly odd‘? arid ends 0f ppessc which coll spare . <athcr was slightly underslocked — the son started jfllhfly understocked, and then both of them . hi]; up their flocks and herds again, not by 1mg“ but by refraining from selling for a or two. To some extent this method of iqyeung man in farming is still fol- ‘qn the mainly grass farms where live- ‘ a flllef form of husbandry. It is still mall dairy farmer to let his ' I t .-oews and for the son to ‘o: in the pass- evcr, it is a very different story. The father cannot breed half a dozen extra colts for his son to start farming. He has to find cash to buy stinking depreciating machines. The colt grows in'value for the first five years of its life, the machine is worth less every time it is used. Even from the money point of vic\v farming is very different today. Cost Of Living Figures A correspondent complained recently of the misleading nature of figures issued by the Bilrcau of Statistics with rcgxlrtl to cost of living in- crease. These figures certainly do not repre- sent the real increase, as every householder knows. They are like the \V0od Islands har- bor chart, which shows plenty of water that ferry officials claim isn't thcrc- kiiOyCfllllltlll spokesmen, however, are still complacently com- paring the Bureau's commodity prices of today with the high prices for the same or similar articles I5 months after the end of the war of 1914-1918. Even if their figures were correct, the comparison is useless, for it ignores the fact that today’s prices would be very much higher but for the payment of subsidies on a colossal scale. The subsidies, of course, come out of the taxpayers‘ pocltets. Next year the argument on the benefits Can- adians rcceive through control of price struc- ture will fall rather flat. An exchange quotes the following food and clothing prices from its files of Atlgtlst, 19:1~—2l months after the Allies granted an .'\l'llli$lli€ to ticrmany: Front quarters of beef, three cents a pound; beef hind quarters, IO cents; heavy pork, seven cents a pound; chickens $I-50 a pair and up; celery Io cents a bunch; cucumbers five cents apiece; lamb fronts 17 to ill cents; lamb hind quarters 25 cents; radishes 2o cents a dozen bunches; men's suits $22.50 to $50; topcoats $22.50. Other articles such as furniture, bed- ding, clothing of almost all kinds were on a similar low level as compared to prices of to- day. And, of course, income taxes were far lower then than they are now. .- EDITORIAL NOTES = Tomorrow, the Queen’: birthday, she was born in 1900.

These post-war years, too, may be justly described as the "hun- gry forties." Never was the dual British in-" terest in foreign trade and farming nlore evident than in the present days of shortage. Never was the parallel necessity for productive effici- ency in both industry and agriculture more ap- parent. The men of i846 not only became fam- ous by assailing the barriers to efficiency in their day. They helped to open the way for a century of unprecedented material advance. and the central theme of their discourse is still in- dispensable. If the world-wide freedom of trade, which the men of 1846 sought, and the fertilizing influence of world-wide investment on which a needy world must now depend for its recovery are to be renewed. it can only be upon the basis of new_and positive programmes of emplwment, planned by the nations separ- inlaid: Jdhltlesln- mercl" Slr Alfred E ltaimetw other. 1M1- people who the Alaska For some reason 0!’ krown bo thimnlrlfig- .ve never ra e iilaghyvay delight in knocfixrgounli- Thc-y pose as experts. _ ‘i’ lng that the road 1s no 11-1111 11:31 the scenery ls Jiesome. that {is boo far to Allluks to 80 W ma‘- The raises c: mrsons woo have "M9151 me lslgliway are as voices crying in. the wfderness.
