She tied the mixture in place on the earth's suriace by the in- terlacing oi grass root! on our prairies and tree roots in our for- ests. The leaves she discarded in autumn became part of the soil that produced them. "But we humane came and broke the prairies and cleared away the forest. We upset the balance of nature.

IOOT OF I'll TROUBLE Ilheiarmeriastiliintroublebe- wmiin cause the real cause of the farm problem lies in the basically un- sound relationship between costs and prices in the farm economy. Farm costs have gone up and farm prices have gone down with the result that many good far- mers are now operating at a loss. They are managing to stay in business because they are reserves built up in better times. or because they are failing to make provision for replaoemems when their present equipment and build- ings wear out or because they are going steadily deeper into debt.

A statement oi that nature completely overlooks the fact that the farmer himself cannot control the forces mention- ed above. forces which have s dlaily impact upon the operation his . PRICE FACTORS To a large extent farm products re produced and sold by many relatively small scale producers whereas the goods and services which the farmer must have are Produced and sold under conditions which result in prices ntaining some element of inonop .

While at the moment farm lands are securely locked in frost and blank- eted in snow in another month. we hope. the land will be ready for cultivation. grass and clover fields will show a greenish colour and there may even be buds starting to open on the trees. Certainly three weeks there will be mayilowere, nature's first contri- bution oi the season to a varied succession of wild flowers. The change which takes place during the next month is so rapid and marked as to be almost a miracle. In fact. there are few more interesting periods in the operation of a farm.
