‘‘The response to our appeal for vestern harvesters was most satisâ€" fnctory and measured up well beâ€" {;'md our expectations," stated Mr. itchell. "In addition to the ?lm- cid contributions of eastern farmâ€" ers and urban workers, much creâ€" dit is also due to the several hunâ€" dred members of the Armed Forces vho were permitted to return to their homes to help out, as well as The 538 women who took the exâ€" cursion were required to be experiâ€" enced farm workers and in most cases they returned to their homes in the Prairie Provinces where they were required to remain for a peâ€" mod of at least six weeks. Ninetyâ€" two women from the Civil Service in Ottawa were supplied for praiâ€" me farm jobs. * Included among the harvesters were 1,025 industrial workers from Ontario and Quebec, who were mostly returning to their former homes in the west. In all cases, apâ€" proval had to be secured from their present employers, it being underâ€" stood that they would be returning to their jobs after the harvest. \ Since August 12, when the excurâ€" sion was opened, a total of 5,448 harvesters were dispatched from Cntario, from Quebec 1,022 harâ€" vesters were supplied. Of the 6,â€" 470 total, 1,143 were intended for Manitoba, 3,624 for Saskatchewan and 1,703 for Alberta. In 1943 about 3,700 menâ€"from Onâ€" tcrio took the harvest excursion west to Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. This year‘s increase was largely due to the fact that castern crops were taken in earâ€" lier, thus permitting more farmers and farm workers to go west. Furâ€" ther, the excursion was open to women and urban workers, and in addition to farmers from Weéstern Quebec;firm workers in Eastern Qucboc/could not be spared from their home districts. Latest figures show that 6,470 eastern farm workersâ€"an increase of almost 75 per cent over the number who took part in 1943â€" hove travelled to the Prairie Proâ€" vinces to help harvest the 1944 crops, it was announced today by Hon. Humphrey Mitchell, Minister of Labor. Excursion Very Successful Western Harvest Waterloo County Has Good Showing In Black and White Show Waterloo County Holsteins did very well in the hot competition that featured the Regional Chamâ€" pionship Show, held October 10 at Oakville.

Peel County PAGB TWO Waterloo stood fifth in the Counâ€" ty Herd Class which was won by There are two schools of thought about this situation. Some poultrymen hold that the industry has overshot its mark, and must retrench. Others point to the fact that for next year Britain has asked for the same amount of egg powder supplied this year, the equivalent of 75 million dozen eggs, and in addition requires 30 million dozen eggs in the shell . . . this on top of continuing heavy demand from Canadian consumers. s Canadian poultry raisers find themselves in a curious position, this fall. They were asked and urged to produce more "eggs for Britain" and they did the job so well that Britain has all the eggs she asked for, and the Canadian egg market is at its lowest price for this time of year since long before the war began. The situation will probably right itself. The inexpert and the inâ€" experienced will drop out, and the efficient poultrymen will continue in the business. However, that does not disguise the fact that much hard work and expense are not reaping their just reward this fall. While enjoying the current low prices for their favorite breakfast dish, consumers would do well to note that if prices drop so low at what is normally the top profit period of the year as to drive any considerable percentages of producers out of production, another year may see the Farm hands‘ wages have been increased; any farmer can tell you that. Whether they have kept pace with the cost of living is another thing. We hope that the WLB will reconsider its refusal to permit the employing farmers to present their side of the case. But if the Little Steel Formula is to be brokenâ€"on Vâ€"E Day or any other dayâ€" for the unionized industrial workers, the farm hands should be rememâ€" bered as wellâ€"Christian Science Monitor. There are compensations, doubtless, for the nature lover and poetâ€" but he who rises with the lark to milk the gentle kine on a lovely summer morn must also stumble over the frozen clods, lantern in hand, to feed and tend the pesky critters. There‘s joy in springtime plowing, when catbirds and cardinals chatter and whistle in the fence rows and blackbirds follow in the furrow, but a fellow who has to hustle to turn under the south forty before dark has no time to compose lines to a field mouse or make daisy chains. Seedtime, haying, harvest, and threshing often find him at his job long after the moon is up, with chores still to follow‘! *If anyone deserves consideration at the hands of employers and Government authorities, it is the farm hand, whose case is now before the War Labor Board. No war worker, with all his overtime, turns in so long a day as this essential toiler. No artisan of the assembly line has a more gruelling task. No contributor to the war effort has a more important job than the producer of food. tables turned.â€"London Free Press.

Heipel, Clerk Although stamping and slaughâ€" tering license regulations as apâ€" plied to hogs were relaxed last year trere is no relaxation in stamping regulations appl{ing to beaf, lamb and veal livestock intended for sale, W. Harold McPhillips, prices and supply representative for Western Ontarin has announced. Stamping regulations do not apply to farmers selling meat from livestock raised on their own farms for their own use or the use of their neighbor farmer providing they are conâ€" sumed on the farm premises of the other farmer - BF A BLOOD DONOR â€"HELP SAVE A LIFR Stamping Livestock Regulations Heavy marketings in carly 1944 made it possible that total shipâ€" ments i® 1944 will be 700,000,000 pounds, all of which will be reâ€" quired by the United Kingdom to maintain its ration. The need will be P(w'ally great in 1945 and in 1946, Mr. Taggart said. ‘ Under agreement with the Unitâ€" ed Kingdom, Canada plans to supâ€" ply. 500,000,000 pounds in both 1944 ond 1945, a total of 1,000.000.000 pounds as a minimum. The British authorities are anxious to take whatever additional quantities may he available. 3. The United Kingdom, which i1 peace time required about 1,â€" €00,000,000 pounds of bacon a year, cannot enlarge her hog production cxtensively without feed imports, and shipping and foreign exchange will be factors in arranging for such imports. ___1. Even optimistic estimates inâ€" dicate that the Danish hog populaâ€" tion is no more than 60 per cent of preâ€"war. This means that a counâ€" try which formerly supplied major quantities of bacon to the United Kingdom cannot hope to regain its old export position for at least a year to 18 months after the feed supplies are imgorted following the war. When shipping and other transport will be available for such feed shipments after the peace cannot be forecast but it may be a considerable time. 2. Poland and some other Euroâ€" pean countries used to ship bacon to the United Kingdom but their livestock population has been reâ€" duced even more drastically than that of Denmark under the Gerâ€" man policy which turns land to the productian of cereal crops for huâ€" man consumption rather than to feed for animal use. Some of this reduction may be due to the belief that with the end to the war, bacon shipments to the United Kingdom will be restricted immediately and surpluses will deâ€" velop at once. Mr. Taggart said any such belief was incorrect. October Session of Waterloo Township Detinite Need For Postâ€"War Bacon In an interview October 12, J.G. Taggart, chairman of the Canadian Meat Board said the United Kingâ€" dom will require more bacon from Canada than the Dominion is likeâ€" ly to be able to deliver in the years 1945 and 1946 even if large hog production is maintained. The Meat Board has observed reâ€" ports indicating that a decline in hog production is in prospect next year.

Sounds fineâ€"butâ€"how‘s it finâ€" anced? Well, each uninvaded memâ€" ber nation has pledged itself to contribute one per cent of its gross national income to UNRRA. Canâ€" ada‘s contribution is $77,000,000. Of this amount 10% is paid in cash for administrative expenses and the other 90% in supplies and serâ€" vices.
