The farmers and their families are the only people who are dozng anything (but wilting) to keep the bards alive, putting out ashes, clay, seeds etc, and all the thanks they get. is a. lot of letters tn the papers telling them to do the things they make it. seem as though there is no humanity among country people.

The Dominion Statistician has now announced that. the pra- ducticii in 1940 is only $l0,798.000. the lowest of the decade since 1932, when it fell to $10,078,000. In an- other lettcr the livestock popula- tion for 1927 was ztated to be 294,- 720, while by 1939 it. had dropped to 222,000. Looking at the above two lots of figures. lb ls but. logical to attribute a large portion of the loss in farm production directly to a decrease in the number of animals kept and fed upon our farms. Fur- thermore. so long as the selling or killing of livestock continues. our production returns wlll decrease and farmtug generally will become Ie s and less remuneratlve. Ask any farmer why he got rid of his cattle, his hogs and his sheep. and he wlll tell you that ft; cost too much t.) feed them, and the same reason is given for not having bred new stock. Almost all farmers nd- mlt, however. that they are feel- ing the 10s: of sales of milk and of fewer animals to sell except hogs, and of the latter they complain bit.- t-erly of the high feed costs and clamor for cheap western grain.

This minimum for butter, obviously would not become effective until the new season beginning in April, minimum pflCC f_or new seasfm having already been tiromiscz‘ by Pcdcffll Atlflc‘ udms-Adinigter James Gardm r. But the farm- .,__ \- Nlg...‘ an‘ V. millions of people near starvation in litiropc, Canada has an accumulation of about half a bil- lion bushels of wheat iii excess of what can be exported or COllSlllllCd at home or made into flour or fed to livestock, The most recent figures given at this conference. of the Canadian Confederation of Agriculture add 0,000,000 bushels to the al- ready (‘llIWlllOLlS accumulation that had been esti- mated. There was a carryover from last year of 300,000,000 lIIISlIClS and a crop yield this year of 531,000,000 bushels. Of this total 546,000,000 bushels have to bc disposed of, and the many intricate cpiestions of prices, the maintenance oi the market, storage elevators and whether and to what extent acreage should be limited this year are being studied. “iarnitigs to farmers xvill certainly be given regarding the difficulties of marketing and the risk of raising more than would justify the labor. =i< * m n- Atiswering Premier McNaiHs claim that the Federal Government was justified calling the Sirois Conference when it did, the Montreal Gaz- ette says the Ottawa Conference represented an attempt to impose a. dangerously undemocratic system upon the provinces with the aid of a war service label. It failed. Perhaps when the war is over it will he found possible to do what the Sirois Commission should have clone, namely, readjust and rc-allocate taxation and services as between the Dominion and the provinces so as to prevent the overlapping and duplication from which the taxpayer is suffering. That cannot be done by wholesale Transfer 0f authority to the Dominion and no such procedure should ever have been recommended or attempted. It cannot be done by arbitrary federal action such as that threatened hy the Minister of Finance at the con- fercncc. If it is to be done by agrccmcnt the Dominion Government must go to the provinces with clean hands, must he able to show that it is not wasting money through a partisan war admin- istration and that it has cut down its non-military expenditures to fin irreducible minimum. Until it ca show this the revenues of the provinces had slderation of the evolutionary facts, on studies of the profound effect of hormones on the organism.

Results vary more or less, those of the Char- lottetown Farm being usually the lowest. The metlicd employed was for each farm to gap a separate account each year of the several cot. items required for producing each particular product, and then reducing the average figures for the eight. years to u rate ner single acre. finally dividing the net. total cost by the number of bushels har- vested. The several cost. items ivere as follows: 1. Use of land and buildings per acre. including rent. or lnterezt, on investment, taxes and maintenance. 2. Manure per ton and cost of applying same. 3. Machinery per acre. Total an- nuiil charge upon machines med, tn- cludlng repairs and depreciation. 4. Seed at cost. 5. Twine at cost. 6. Manual labour per hour. which was taken at. $.22. '7. Horse labour per hour at $.10. The above would appear to cover the total cost, provided an ample supply of manure were applied. 05h- erwtsc a further item would have to be added to cover the 10's of soil fertility.
