Dorothy up: Says — Continued from page 2 Any mother who can break off half a dozen incipient romances and keep her son from marrying until he is past 30 is fairly safe in keeping him for herself forever. The ardor of youth will be Bone. He will have settled into the hnbits of celibacy. He will have grown cold and cautious and fearful of the risks of matrimony. How any woman can desire to deprive her son of the happiness he will find in a normal family life is hard to understand. Selfish- ness can go no further and a man is weak and foolish who lets such a mother dominate him. Inasmuch as she will never find any girl whom she is willing for her son to marry, he should make his own choice and please himself and then tell mother after he is safely married. She will ac- cept ths situation then and give them a belated blessing. DEAR MISS DIX: What do you think of a husband who lnr this modern age denies his wife all household conveniences, although he is amply able to provide them? I have been married thirty years, have reared a largo family, and have done all my housework, such as cook- ing, washing, ironing, sewitrg, baking, scrubbing, even attending to the furnace. I have never had a gas range. What do you advise me to do to better conditions for myself? A FAITHFUL WIFE ANSWER: My remedy for your trouble is very simple, but I guarantee that it will work. Go on e shopping orgy. Put on your hat and go downtown and buy all the mechanical contrlvances that take the slavery out of housework and that save a woman's back and her temper and her nerves. . Perhaps your husband will raise Cain about it at the beginning, but you can make a neat comeback by asking hlm if he hasn't got all of the latest labor-saving devices in his business. Tell him that your work is just as important as his, and that you can't run a house efficiently without the proper equipment any more than he can run a business, and after he has grumbled awhile he will be as proud as punch of all the new electrical servants you have installed. But I haven't many tours to shed over any woman who permits herself to be the victim of her husband's unreusonlng selfishness. Ii: is always her own fault when she‘ lets a mun impose upon her. If she had the spunk of a worm, she would turn and put up a fight for her rights, and she would get them. DEAR MISS DIX: What do you say about n woman whose hus-, band has been out of employment and who has been the bread-winner? My husband (e015 that, be is being gossipcd about because I hm work- ing while he is not, What is your candid opinion of this situation? A WIFE WHO WORKS ANSWER: I think that any woman would be s poor wife and o poor sport who was not glad to go out and eurn the living when her husband, through no fault of his own, is out of employment. Under the circumstances no stigma attaches to the mun and no one has the right to criticize him. The only mnn who deserves censure ls the lazy one who sits down in idleness and lets his wife support him.

Meeting Your secretary has just returned from Niagara Blaills from one of the most impressive. educational and practical conferences ever held by the farmers of Canada or PBPhB/PB my oourstly of the world. This observation was made by selv- eral old-timers and. experienced leaders who attended. ‘Ilhe has‘- mrmy. unity and determination of the delegates present to work to- gether for the eotmnon good was evident to all. The various policies and prob- lems were discussed not only from the Agricultural view point but. with the welfare and duties of all other groups in mind. It is hard to say wlhlch was the most significant feature. The ad- dress of our present. Mr. Hanmam, who without wasting any words anailysized the present situation in s, ninety minute address, the four hour session with Mr. Gardiner. the analysis of our international marketing problems by Professor Gallbraltlh or the short but pointed program set forth by Dr. Hope. Ills program to protect the inter- ests of Canadian farmers and maintain farm prices at a level with other industries will no doubt be- come a historical plan. Anyone who arrived with the idea that farmers had no right to toike any action toward regulating their own marketing 0r that price supports were not in the best in- terests of all concerned. soon changed their attitude. The general feeling was that farmers are not willing to lead the parade of downward prices. It was felt, however, that more perman- ence in our economy could be es- tablished if all price levels Were adjusted on s. lower basis. Without price supports and some order in our marketing the econ- omy of about seven hundred thousand farm family uults- the very foundation of free enterprize. would suffer. If we want the family unit tn continue as the basis of our soc- iety, then we must protect. their purchasing power which decides the prosperity of business and labor. The illustration that s. spoonful of butter sets the price for s. chum full is very true. Everyone must agree that it would be utterly impossible to pro- duce just exactly the rig-ht amount of butter. eggs or other food prod- ucts for available markets. If then, more is a small surplus, it is in the interest of the public either to store it and maintain price lev- els or to pay the difference to the producers so that it can be distrib- uted to needy families either in our own or another country. Last years statistics show that Federal tax revenues fronrthe sale of beer and 110110" mnflumed to 144 million dolars. The report explained that provincial revenues 1mm the some source would ex- ceed the Federal figures. Does this not make a few million dollars which has been used for stabiliz- ing farm prices and maintaininga healthy trade balance seem m- significant. A more detailed report of ithls meeting will be heard on ilvlonday night together with a review of Federation policies for the next year.

Such re- marks from people who have not h-ad the Practical experience of faking all the chances. trying to b"? Ind PM! for s. farm. raise a family and contribute his share to the community are not very well received. It is easy t-o criticize. A big show can also be made ln Agriculture when one has inherit- ed or earned a smiatll fortune from some other source to commence with. We admit that thee-e is a per- centage of inefficient farmers just the same as there is a percentage of inefficient busirses men or workers in any other industry. There ailways will be. However, some recent discoveries should be noted and perhaps some changes mvade with respect to lowering our production costs. There definitely is a. place for more home grown gnalins 0l'l the Island and tlhe use of more fertilizer on pastures, grain crops and hay. But, perhaps most of all we should pay attention to the new method which has proven very successful in Nova Scotla- during the past year with respect to trench silos. It has been per-oven than clover and grass silage can be kept and handled very success- fully in s trench silo handy the barn. This silage has tested as high as l7 and. 18 per cen-t protein. The details of building these silos can be procured from the Department of Agriculture. We suggest to dairy farmers especially, that this is a project worth looking imo. Market Observations _ Potatoes We still have a. large crop in storage but, from what was said at the Farmer's Congress, the Gov- ernment will not support a surplus crop when farmers themselves will not take action to control excess speculation. Bacon Our bacon contract ceases July 1st... The general opinion is that it will be filled before that date There was a. strong feeling from Ontario that we should press for a higher floor price at the present time but, when discussed it was generally agreed that the best re- commendation would be a request lo maintain the $32.50 seaboard price for Wiltshire Sides for the remainder of the year. Then if i951 brings some reduction in the price of Western coarse grains. coupled with the growing of more grain alt home a lower adjust-merit could be made. However. there was a specific warning that pro- ducers must be in a. position to handle their own hog industry by 19542. We've got to get busy for it now. There was also some agitation for a higher floor price on eggs However as this was admittedly brought about by the efforts of tho Federation as a. stop loss arrange- ment for the time being, it was left to the board meeting t-odiay to decide.
