The end of Mutual Aid, Septemâ€" ber 2, does not mean the end or delay in the fAlow of essential civilâ€" lian m‘rru” to our allies, as Finâ€" ance Minister IIsley pointed out in the House of Commions The Muâ€" tual Aid report showed a total exâ€" m:l:un from its lnmlon to 31, 19458, of $1,718 000. Most of the countries receiving. Mutual Aid will require credits to Farâ€"Reaching Aid To return to the map, which is &an of the second annual report of utual Aid. Radiating from Canâ€" ada are strong black lines which denote the C?.'h’ Mutual Aid has travelled. Great Britain, France, Tunisia, Algeria, French West Afâ€" rica, Lib{n. Efiypt, Iraq, Iran, Inâ€" dia, Ceylon, the Cameroons, Tanâ€" genyika, Rhodesia, French Equatoâ€" rial Africa, the West Indies, New Zealand, the Solomon Isl:nd7 New Guinea, Australia, the Philippine Islands, China and Soviet Runu‘ These were the names I saw. I have been looking at a map showing the distribution of Mutual Aid 3; Canada to the nations of the World. It made me wonder whether perhaps we are too moâ€" dest about our part in the War. Just the other day 1 heard Dr. T. v. Soong, premier of China, tell a group of Canadian newspapermen that we are not a boastful Feople. and that we are inclined to hide our light under a bushel. Certainly his words of gratitude to Canadians were heartening. _ But modest or not, we would do well to study Mutual Aid, as proâ€" vided by Canada, and take pride in the part that we have played. Canada Too Modest? As a background for a proper understanding of farming in all its branches, he recognizes the value of a course at the agricultural school or college. If he has a real desire for his young son to become a good farmer, he wunts him to go there when he is old enough, to obtain a start toward amassing reliable information that will guide him in the future. With this in mind he will plan his savings toward sending him when he gets older. With this in mind, also, he will hold on to his Victory Bonds so that some of them can be put to this constructive use when the time comes. And so it is with all his farming operations. Farming is not a ruleâ€"ofâ€"thumb procedure. It requires the application of thought fortiâ€" fed by knowledge for best results. ~ He knows that there are such things as purity of seed, proper cultivation practices, methods of fighting Nature‘s adverse agencies whether they be blights, rusts, rots, weeds, insects, or whatever else. He knows that animals are subject to the laws of heredity, that genetics can guide them in breeding practices, that feed must be "balanced" for adequate nutrition. He knows that these things and -,"host of others‘ apply in crop growing and in livestock care. n .‘ The progressive farmer knows that there is more to growing crops than scratching the ground and throwing in the seed. He knows there is more to keeping livestock than giving them a little feed and letting them roam through the pasture. A thoughtâ€"provoking question arises, "Have we that necessary reserve to take advantage of the opportunities that will come?" The advantage will lie with the farmer capable of growing the right kind of crops, who can switch from one to another when necessary and who can properly care for his soil with fertilizer and tultivation practices. Naturally it is going to lie with the man who has a reserve of working capital that will allow him to do these things just when and if they are required. For the farmer this means greater attention to crops from a nutritional point of view. It means greater attention to soils and the elements contained in them. More than is generally realized, unâ€" treated soils in some parts of Canada are unable to supply the growing plant with certain essential elements in adequate quantity. It means more efficient farming too, so as to be able to grow and market these crops at a profit. Studies in the science of nutrition, important under warâ€"time conâ€" ditions, are going to be continued after the war is over. There is much to be learned, much that was undreamed of even & generation ago. In the past too many people, supposedly well fed, have followed diets incapable of maintaining good health. People are going to eat better, more wisely, instead of being content with diets that are "Alling" but not properly balanced. Without your help meat rationing cannot operateâ€"every ounce and pound is needed to send to them overseas Whetber rationing can be 100% effective rests with the farmer, because the amount of killing that is done is difficult to ascertain. Britain‘s farmers have coâ€"operated wholeâ€"heartedly during the war just over, and are coâ€"operating in the peace that has to be won. They ability Rationing of meat is certainly more difficult than rationing of sugar, tea, butter, beverages or coffee, which are more easily controlled at their source. s A The people of Britain have endured more than Canadians can fully appreciate now or ever. The average meat serving in a British restaurâ€" ant during the last three years has been less than half of what is served in any metropolitan or urban city. Canadians should be willing to share some of their meat so that their benefactors may at least continue to have their oneâ€"third, irksome though the rationing system may be. So far, all arguments against rationing are based mainly on inconâ€" venience to dealers, some to the publicâ€"but what is a little inconâ€" venience? The yearly per capita consumption is reduced inflnitedmny‘ and we who have felt little of the hardships of war, are indeed unâ€" worthy people to belong to a wealthy nation, to begrudge those whol bore the brunt of war a small portion. and are maintaining the health of their nation to their fullest THE WATERLOO CHRONIICLE Education for Future Farmers Adequate Diets of the Future THE BEAN PRINTING & PUBLISHING CO.

Rationing Again! from the Mutual Aid report, but they do indicate to us the scope of Canada‘s war effort. Under the Mutual Aid arreement with India, military vehicles and wheat have been contributed to the war effort of that country. These goods were shlgped largely in vesâ€" scél: owned and operated by Canâ€" ada. Mutuamd h;.ubo had an adâ€" ditional in t of Canadian supplies m culty in croalnlz vex wide rivers. The United Kingdom, of course, kenefitted greatly, through Mutual Aid. But did you know that Canâ€" ‘\adian Mutual Aid to the Soviet Union during the fiscal year 1944â€" 45 amounted to $97,633,000, or more than three times that of the preâ€" vious fiscal year? And did you know that drou&ht in Australia severely affected that continent and New Zealand, and that in comeguence Canada has sufl)lied New Zealand with wheat? utual Aid has had its part to rhy in the liberation and reâ€"estabâ€" ishment of France. Goods and serâ€" vices provided to France under Mutual Aid during the“?n year amounted to about $17,552,000. ventions played in final victory. Canada, for instance, was the first to develop and put into use an acâ€" curate antiâ€"aircraft fire control raâ€" dar set. Another instance; the Caâ€" nadianâ€"developed universal trestle, an intermediate support for the Bailey bridge, lessened the diffiâ€" culty in crossing very wide rivers pbtain what they need from this _ As the report points out, Mutual Aid is a device which has reâ€" moved the dollar sign from obâ€" structing the flow of Canadian aid to battlefronts. Not dollars, but goods, were sent. Bullets delivered under Mutual Aid to the armies of Great Britain or Russia can hardly be called Canadian gifts to these countries, since the final recipients of the bullets were the enemies of Canada. Another strilxin&l feature of the report is the part that Canadian inâ€" country, and negotiations are now Just as the path that Mutual Aid has travelled is a diverse one, so have been the activities of this great contribution of Canada.
