Cenadien Air Heroes The total? During 1944 we exâ€" m&d goods at the rate of $12 milâ€" per working dayâ€"of which threeâ€"quarters were war materials. This huge war export figure is due to the fact that Canadian forces at home and abroad use only 30 per cent of our war production. The rest goes to our Allies, much of it under Mutual Aid, the plan whereâ€" :fi we send war material to those most in need of it, either in return for other goods or services, or as outright gifts. J "Of peculiar significance," said Mr. Mackinnon, "is the fact that the exports of the agricultural and aniâ€" mal products of our Canadian farms and fisheries were some $340 milâ€" lion greater in 1944 than in 1943. Such exports are likely to continue at a high level during the period unmediat‘e‘)ly following the war." The total? During 1944 we exâ€" What‘s more, Canadian exports are on the increase.

These units will undoubtedly increase local demand for homeâ€" grown vegetables and fruits, as well as for meats and fish, by making it possible to buy them in season and use them out of season. In the‘ long run this should mean a real saving in living costs. For while to bring fresh foods for thousands of miles by airâ€"freight must inevitably add something to their cost, the quickâ€"freeze plan provides a way to lay in supplies when prices are low and to use them at seasons when costs are much higher. As soon as the war is over, we‘re told we can expect to enjoy subâ€" tropical fruits and vegetables for breakfast, flown up overnight from warmer climes. This promise is offering plenty of food for thought on ways in which winter diet in the North can be varied. It is also arousing a little apprehension among Northern food producers about increased competition from distant areas. But there‘s one comforting fact which they should remember. It is that this conquest over space, as applied to fresh fruits, most likely will be more than balanced by another developmentâ€"the conquest over the seasons in their own home territory, which is promised by the new quickâ€"freeze units for home use. *Â¥ Dairymen have had a difficuit role in recent years, tor}lheir inâ€" dustry demands a comparatively large supply of highlyâ€"skilled labor, and this has not been forthcoming. The farmer has had to work long and laborious hours. Possibly there is a lesson in this for the postâ€"war days. He has learned that, provided every cow pays her way, that his herd does not contain a single "passenger," he can get by with very little labor, and wages are a large item in the farmer‘s costs. Individual quality in his herd, efficiency in his methods, coâ€" operation in sales and distribution are essential if he is to expetlencel any real progress in living conditions after the war.â€"London Free Press. , M ooo sc se cce en Ee en ons services.

An undue surplus of bare fields, of unâ€" painted and decrepit houses and outbuildings, a farmer and his wife hauling in poor quality hay, with a poor quality outfit, all provided mute but concrete and convincing evidence that, for too long a time, as the saying goes, these farmers "had sold their manure over the mountain", to the fruit growers beâ€" yond.
