Spouks At the International Plown Match at Peterboro, Lord Athiorse had something te say about On- tario's agriculture in his speech at the main banquet. What he said la worth wbile rcpeating be- cause it coincides with what a great number of Canadian weekly papers aesayiLng The Governor General larlght of course but he probably was flot aware of what a sad mess Ontario f armers are now in, due to Ottawa policy ... or rather iack of it. We quote from bis address: The, Govei'hor Gênerai describ- ed Canada's agriculftural industry, particularly ,that of Ontario, as one of the Expire's greatcst ',mu- nitions factories" sand sald -the Do- minion could Justly take a large measure o! credit for thse favorable food situation in the United King- dom going into the third winter o! war.

Head- lines sucis as "Fariner Raps Hy- dro," "Cattle Export Hurta Can-, ada" sud "Labor Conference Call-' cd"l are reminiscent o! things The Statesman has been bringing te public attention tixnc sud again. Here are a !ew things we should quote: Inability o! farmers te gcthy- dro service was "«almost as seri- ous, as Uic labor shortage," Depu- ty-Reeve Charles Hooper o! Markham Township told 'York County Coun7èil yesterday. "Many.farmers have been. fore- cdt te scl their cattle sud in some cases have decided to retire be- cause they werc unable to obtain Uic use o! electric power to àI- leviate their loas o! labor."

Already this year York County farmers have sold 40 per cent more cattle to thse United States than Uiey sold during aîl of 1940. Mi. Darlington credited Uic milking machine with saving a number o! Canadisu berds. "If it wcren't for this wonderful time- saver a great many more Cana- disu cattle would have been sold to Uic United States." i"Thse labor shortage on fanas lamucis more serlous rigisu now thn it ever was during Uic last war~" Mi. Darlington declarcd. "And whilc I beieve Goverrument officials have finally awakened to the fact, I am afraid next year's faim production will be seriously impaircd no matter what they do."P Adoption in Canada o! a na- tional selective service plan, un- der which agriculture would be recognized as a war industry, re- ccived "wholc-hcarted backing"' at a faimo labor conference called yesterday at Quecn's Park by Uic Interdepartmcntal Committce on Farm Labor.
