PAGE FIFTEEN - Farms In Great Britain Now Take On 'New Look' By JAMES McCOOK Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Jan, 20.--(CP)-- British agriculture, often content with an- tiquated methods before the war, now goes after production records with shiny mechanized equipment and long-range planning. Measure of the advance from scythe to combine was given by Lord Packenham, Agriculture Min- .ister Parliamentary Secretary, com- paring the 1946 Narm plant with that of 1942: Farm tractors increased 70 per cent; tractor plows 60 per cent; tractor mowers 120; potato spinners 60; milking machines 60; combine harvesters 200. Tractors in use increased from 85,000 in 1939 to 235,000 in 1948. Despite steel shortages and other (production difficulties, tractor out- put in the third quarter of 1947 'Domestic Felicity From Beer Boycott Greymouth, N.Z. (CP). -- For some time trade unions on the west coast of the South Island of New Zealand have been grimly observ- ing a beer boycott because of a price rise of two cents a glass charged by hotels. The results, according to a survey made by Grey Valley miners' central cem- mittee, have been surprising. The committee declares that gardens now receive more atten- tion, houses are being painted and repaired, absenteeism at mines has almost disappeared, earnings have increased and coal produc- tion is at an all-time high, Be- sides, says the committee, there is a better social and domestic atmosphere than before.

The government encourages the production of new farm equopment, such as caterpillar tractors, not so far produced in quantity in the United Kingdom. Meanwhile im- ports from- the United tSates and equipment available in the home market are being continued. An additional 60,000 regular farm workers are wanted by the next harvest, labor shortages being ag- gravated by the return of German prisoners of war. The government hopes to have a total of 30,000 Pol- ish and other European workers available within a few months and farmers may obtain the remainder from among British workers. First objective of the new agri- cultural program is to save dollars, During the next four years Britain hopes to treble pork production, double egg production and increase beef and veal and milk output by 20 and 16 per cent respectively, Mechanized equipment will help to increase the wheat acreage by 500,000, to 2,600,000 in 1948. And additional potatoes must be grown to maintain the basic ration of three pounds per person a week. ONTARIO HARDWOOD FLOOR SANDERS o Laid e Sanded Variety Colors Reasonable!
