Northern Ontario â€" agriculture was discussed by the members and Agriculture Minister T. L. Kennedy was congratulated on his speedy action in implementing some of the major recommendations of the agricultural group which recently toured the north. The settingâ€"up of a potato warehouse at Cochrane was commended. ~Discuss Plan to Aid Young Farmers to young farmers to enable them to become established on farms of their own, and a measure of Govâ€" ernment participation in farm nortgage loans, were two items vrunsidered yesterday at Queen‘s Park by the Agricultural Commisâ€" sion of Inquiry. A draft report on farm credit will be drafted by the commission for presentation to the‘ Government. "Associated with the provision of Hydro water pumping systems the farmers could be shown how to inâ€" stall a satisfactory and relatively inexpensive sanitary disposal sysâ€" tem. There is really no technical reason why every farmer recelvâ€" ing Hydro service should not have in his farm home, bathroom and tolâ€" let facilities every bit as satisfacâ€" tory as those in city homes. "Extension of Hydro service to «reas now not served will form an important part of the commission‘s postwar rural planning," he said. "Fqually important will be a proâ€" gram inaugurated to give inâ€" creased service to farmers by proâ€" moting the use of such labor savâ€" ing and profitable ag;;leiancec as reâ€" frigerators, quick zing equipâ€" ment, electrically operated water pumj:ing systems, improved grain rrinders, water heaters and special appliances for poultry raising and similar requirements. A postwar rural hydro system that will provide all farms with city home facilities was outlined last week by Chairman Dr. Thomas H. Hogg of the Ontario Hydro Elecâ€" tric Power Commission. Farms to Have City Conveniences Daylight saving was one of those ideas that seemed bright in theory but was a total flop in practiceâ€"London Free Press. a Children have suffered considerably from the daylight saving time. In summer it is hard to get youngsters to sleep before dark, and if their elders rise in time to be at work an hour earlier than sun time the sleep of the children is bound to be disturbed. Many farm youngsters have to walk considerable distances to school. Under daylight saving time this often meant starting off long before daylight and trudging through the darkness. I Farmers have never liked daylight saving time are governed largely by the sun and any interf relationship is a nuisance. Dew doesn‘t dry up any ea someone moves the clock ahead. When milk is take: city in the morning the job is usually done early enc when daylight saving time is in effect the early risi early indeed. In cities certain groups have been somewhat benefit possibility of enjoying longer evenings or afternoons. But be done quite as easily by adjusting working hours. A proposal for special assistance According to Dr. T. H. Hogg, chairman of the Ontario Hydroâ€" Electric Power Commission, that body will not oppose Dominion action in dropping daylight saving should such action be taken. His stand must make it about unanimous. Daylight saving time is one of the war nuisances many people will be glad to get rid of. In these crucial days preceding the final knockout, Canadians at home may again take their cue from Canadians at the battle fronts. Over there none marks time, waiting for Germany to collapse. They are ‘all on their toes, fighting as energetically as at any previous period of the war. Over here our duty seems just as clear cutâ€"a duty which calls us to work as hard as we have ever worked before, and to keep our production lines as vigorous as they have ever been beforeâ€" through the purchase of Victory Bonds. \ All of this might be harmless, were it not for the psychological effect that the contest has on people at large. For one thing, many are led into the belief that the war is almost over and that the time has come for some relaxation at home. Further, when the war keeps its furious pace for weeks after "V" Day dates previously predicted, the morale of many people is unsettled. But in the wake of such statements there has been a wave of other predictions from ten thousand minor and less informed circles. Especial~ ly since "D" Day almost every man in the street has been taking a guess at the date of "V" Day.

THE MIND HAS rains are reported to have delayea harvesting and have possibly reâ€" sulted in a reduction of yield. Alâ€" tnough no estimates are yet availâ€" able, it seems to be the general opinion that this year‘s crop is smaller than that of last year. The rapidly contracting borders of the German Reich are including less and less of the foodstuffs she has been appropriating, but good crops within her frontiers appear to preclude any possibility of a colâ€" lapse from lack of food alone, alâ€" though it may well result in a reâ€" duction of rations. A large part of Germany‘s milling capacity â€" is wlong the Rhine river, and, conseâ€" quently, an increasing progortion of these facilities are proba ly beâ€" ing destroyed by the allied offenâ€" sive. ‘ The rapid gains which the allied armies have made in Western and Southeastern Europe have preventâ€" ed wholesale destruction of cm})s by the Nazis, states the Monthly Review of the Wheat Situation. Large areas of France are reported practically untouched and yielding a fairly good crop of grain. Wheat uver and above local requirements from these areas is expected to| move into deficit regions including, possibly, parts of Belgium and Holâ€" ‘and. The timely advance into Rouâ€" mania and Bulgaria will permit shipment of any wheat surpluses to Russia rather than to Germany.

Some 6,470 eastern farm workers @respondedâ€"an increase of 75% over 1943. The earlier crop in eastâ€" ern Canada, of course, was responâ€" sible for the availability of these workers. There were 5,400 harvesâ€" ters from Ontario and 1,022 from Quebec. Of these Manitoba got 1,â€" 143, Saskatchewan 3,624 and Alberâ€" ta 1,703. With the help of these eastern farm workers, the assisâ€" tance given by members of the ormed forces granted special harâ€" vesting leave, and the services of the 92 women from the Civil Serâ€" vice in Oftawa, the big crop came off in record time. ‘ Recent appointments to the Bench change the standing someâ€" what in the House of Commons.

It cannot replace the seeing eye, the feeling hand, the need of daily contact with the birds themselves Mechanization is said to be so complete on some poultry farms that the collection and packing of eggs has become the principal item of labor cost. There are automatic waterers, feed carriers, mass adâ€" justment of ventilation, deep litter, manure pits, all useful in their proâ€" per place. But there is a potential srap in the fact that the modern t_end to mechanization monopolizes much of the poultryman‘s time, with the result that he is forced to spend less and less time with his flock.
