To do this every olectar in Bowmanviile should cat his or her vote at the poils next Monday. Idie Acres I Durham County Canada's Governor General, ini a speech at Peterboro,, recag- nized Canadian Agriculture as a first lime war industry. Can- ada's foderal government and its Ministor of Agriculture have flot so recognized it. There is abundant proaf of that. In the ruxnp session of Parliamnent lately closed, not a fariner Liberal opened his mouth while the Minister, Hon. J. G. Gardiner, not only re- fused a formai qtatement sudh as other war Ministers gave, but he resented any questionings-and ho got away with it. But the rosi proof that agriculture in Ontario is considered as fia industry at ail, lies in the fact that the governnient has per- mittod romoval af 90 percent of experienced farmn labor from most productive areas. In support of what The Statesman has so long contended, we are ploased to print reports on conditions in Durham County as gathored by highly competent staff writers of the three To- ronto daily newspapers wlia were guests af the editar af The Statesmian and wha accompanied hlmn on the trip on Saturday. These men, with others made a.jrvey taur through a section embrac1hg, daiir?, bief, hog, grt?ù and Ô?chard country. They asked searching questions and got straight answors. Those will be found on this page. Turne precluded an investigation of conditions among our now Canadians heroabôuts. Over 50 holdings have been bouglit out in Darlington Township alono by former Europeans ini recent years. They are, sa far, mostly I'subsistence" farmers who have a long way ta go ta master the art af farming and animal lus- bandry as practised by the former owners. They are nat yet pro- ducers. And there la the crux of these reports. Production is fail- ing off for lack of holp. There are "Idie Acres" everywhere. In the office of E. A. Sumrners, District Agricultural Repre- sentative, Bowmanviile, hang a dozen group picturos of young Durham County farmers who have for years in succession achlevod highest distinction in judging compotitions, bath na- tionaLa.nd provincial. Mr. Summérs bas devoted 12 years teacli- ig these Durham boys ta become what they reaily are, "lMaster Farmors". But today only about 10 per cent remain an the fanms. The arniy, airforce and factories have claimed themn with direct encouragement ai the Dominion govorninent. More than that. of those left, the 21 age group ta a man have been caled up, first for 30 days which they performed, now for the duration. Ini this respect alone is agriculture regarded by Ot- tawa as a war industry. That la the farrns produce strong youtlis Who are bolng conscrlpted, with absolutoly no exemptions, for war purposes within Canada.

Lieut.-Col. A H. Bounsail, the chief speaker listed urgent reasons that mer should join up as follows: Foi the protection and defence oi Canada;, to provide trained re. inforcements for the 'activE ranks'; to aid the civil powers ir maintenance of law and order, -air raid precautions, etc. "The review ai the Military Activities ai the Midland Regi- ment as given in The Statesman was good but slightly erroneous in same dotails," lic said. Ho took exception ta the ipnuendo in the sentence, "These canstitute the bodies ai mon which the dam- munity wish ta be praud ai," ex. plaining as 'father' ai the rogi- ment that its record lias been an honorable anc and the fact thal many ai these mon have not yel seen actual battle casts no ne- ilection on them in the lest. Ho cheracterized as "pure falseliood" a statement whicli had appeared in print ta the effeet that the 2nd Battalion had dried up ta three or four mon and that training had ceased. "Ouir strength was neyer under 150," lie assert- cd. Also the statement that only «a corporal's guard" had been re- cruited la untrue, Col. Bounsal] said. At the Peterboro recruiting office 730 have applied and 500 wore iound physically fit. As ta the recruiting effort the Colonel said: "That la beyond aur cantrol. We may believe in dam- pulsory selective service but we are recruiting as we are told - we certainly haven't been ob- naxiaus about it! And it may be that we haven't liad much suc- ceas." Nevertheless the govern- ment should have aur backing 100 percent. It contends that the re- serve force la ai utWoist impor- tance in Canada." Col. Bounsaîl reviewed briefly the history ai the 2nd Midlands. Reserve units were authorizecl at the first ai August 1940 because ai the crisis. When things be-1 came quieter recruiting ceased. At that time strengtli was 550. Ho referred ta the order that anyone who did mot wish ta sign up for active service must turn in hua uniform and remarked lie hop- cd that sucli pressure wauld neyer be brouglit ta bean again. At that time more than 1150 mon werit 'active'. "Again taday conditions are sudh that a big reserve farce is warranted,"1 the speaker contin-, ued. "It la needed for the defence af Canada. Agai we are gaing ta get up ta wan strength and are recruiting. Mon from 18 ta 50 will be acceptod andT may be in as law physical cstegary as "'C". Cal. Bounsaîl also spoke af the type ai training, good troatment, psy in the anmy, and answered a few questions which same o! lis audience ai 150 asked. "The aps- thy and camplacency in this coun- try la sharmeful," lie said. "I think cvery man should be in kliaki." From the 2nd Midlands 40 lave gane on active service. Lieut.-Col. P. H. Jobb alsa spoke brieily, givinà strong reasons why ".we want yau ta joita protect your country." Ho deplarod the iact that citizens have not spon- taneously joined in a Home Guard for the protection ai thoîr homes when attack la so possible. Tauching an another aspect o! military service Col. L. T. Mc- Lauglilin sdded that about fiity percent ai enlisted mon are at vocational work aftd army lufe aifaords an invaluable apportunity ta learn a trade. "Today il is a priviloge ta serve your country," ho said. Editor'a Note-In regard ta the above repart which was written by a Statesman reporter irom notes taken at the meeting, we are obliged ta refer ta aur original article and Col. Bounsall's excep- tions. That the 2nd Midlands had dried up ta 3 or 4 privates, ne- ierred, naturally, ta tac Bowman- ville parade.
