will be heard on sunday august 15 at 5 03 pm edt 603 pm adt over hc cbc national network what i have longed to write v now be written the wheat is in yes that all i wanted to say it doesn t sound very exciting does itt but there it la and t can tell you every sheaf of grain that goes into the barn is mighty important these days because every farmer is looking at his livestock rather doubtfully right now wondering if he will have feed enough to winter it and if riot uhetber there will be a shortage of what he may need to buy and you people who have to buy your butter nnd cream milk and eggs you may come to realize why the farmer wor ried about feed for his livestock it may be reflected in your milk bottles or in the number ofegg you can buy partners who ship milk to tho city nnd who in tho past have been worried because they are getting too many shutoffs nre now being ask ed by the city dairies to ship nil tho milk they can and if possible to in crease their quota city dairies dont kind out ward like that unless they anticipate a shortage todays farm broadcast wild there is a movement on foot to allow tho canning factories to requisition nil nvallahle crops of peaches pears and plums to insure sufficient quantities of canned goods for next winter x imagine that idea wont suit thrifty farm housewives who have 1een nc- customed to canning their own pears and stone fruit the plum tree that just sort of grew along the back lane fence and the pear tree in tho chip yard will look mighty good to us this year o course there it still tlto sugar problem but there may bo othors like myself who had been plan ning to put a few pears and peaches away with honey in place of sugar and tomatoes do you know the price of them nt present a dollar nnd n half n nixquart bosket why bo- causo there just arent enough to matoes to moot tho demand you may remomltcr wo had a llttlp rain lnnt spring and most people had to put their plants in late while some nover got them in nt all so you hnd hotter wntch your tomnto plants closely and denr help any chicken this year who tnkes n peck nt a ripe tomnto many forme rs in this county have boon glnd to take advantagu of turn commando help from the city and according to nil reports tho com- mnqdo workers imvo given splendid service they work hard nnd tho fnrmors work hard but i wonder how many realize who is the hardest worked man in tho country maybe ou think it is yourself mr former nnd maybe it is i wouldn t like to contradict you but i do know that your agricultural representative is working from dnwn to dark nnd on sundays to see that every farmer who needs help gets it nnd every volunteer farm worker who wants to work finds u farm to go to it s n uondor to mo that tho poor man isn t going in circles lake our own case for instance wo wanud n man to tdook wheat all right we could gtt ont tho next day it rained that mt ant more telephoning to cancel the nrrnngenu nt anotlur time wo mtnt h and a sufficient numb i had not

uhlit is kolng on all over the county then i can tell you that being n go bo- twtch for farmers and farm workers is no picnic and when we give crehllt to tho city fellows who cam out to help the formers wo should also give credit to the man who help ed to get them there i wonder if your district has re ceived an urgent call from red cross headquarters to knit for air force prisoners of war down here we have a special quota and i have kept the i phone wires hot trying to find out who will do what and how many we have been asked for socks sweat- era scarves and gloves and the re sponse has been splendid after all it is little enough to do no matter how busy we may be those boys in air force blue think what they have done for us now they are powerless to do anything for themselves is it too much to ask that we who have our liberty should drop some of our less essential work and do what we can for them a scarf a pair of socks a sweater or good warm gloves can quite easily spell the difference between the misery of frostbite or a certain degree of comfort you may think it is a stranger for whom you are knitting but you never can tell it might be your own son if not then let us remember that everyone of those boys is somebodys son somebodys son who risked his life for you war 25 years ago taw battle at asalests by il il gordon oanadssii pms ttafff write spearheading an
