roure days branch offico milton 127 -hon- georgetown to chronicles of ginger farm written specially for the acton free press by gwendoline p clarke we shall soon be living on the outskirts of our county town- close to qjitw industrial plant that is unless present plans arc drastic ally changed not our plans i d6n t mean we are moving otf the farm far from it it just is that the town is stretching is boundaries and coming out to meet us not tm mediately of course things like that don t happen overnight there will be arguments and counter arguments annexation by laws and all that sort of thing but the change will come eventually you can t stop progress even if you hap pen to be agin it our small county town of milton has been practically at a standstill for years and years and now sud denly it looks as if we might see a bit of mushroom growth and why not the huge ford plant is only about 20 miles away malton airport and its industries is miles two rail ways by pass the town a bfg fac tory which until now was milton main industry can supply every type of screw nail likely to be cat led for and there is all kinds of farm land that can probably be bought for industrial sites and building projects one of our neighbors recently sold his farm to a steel company to be the site of a new factory no doubt there will be more farm land going the same way and there will certainly be plenty of farms sliced up when the new- montreal to windsor highway goes through th s district crossing no 25 at an at present undetermined point perhaps you think it is a shame so much good farm land should be taken up that way 1 quite agree it seems like economic suicide to thus undermine one of its mast pro ductive areas what it has been generally agreed is canada s basic industry agriculture but perhaps it s just as well i guess we have reached the stage when many farmers think the pro verbial worm knew what it was do ing when it turned so when farmers in this and other industrial areas are given a good offer for their property it is usually accepted of course any farmer worthy of the name hates to see the old place go to have fac torles and storage sheds built on his fertile fields but then on the one hand he remembers the price of cat tie and hogs the glut of milk on the market the threatened decrease in the price of that same milk to the farmer to say nothing about mar gar ne and the possible inroads of synthetic dairy products very few farmers however want to sec a ban i edible oils on the other hand the farmer thinks of the fellows who work in industry of the returns for their labor and short working day as compared with his own and he figures he might just as well be go ting a share of the big wages him self instead of making a bare living and by his hard work adding to the surplus that already exists many farmers sons have already got on the industrial band wagon so that the greater number of farms are owned and operated by older men and it is these same men that we find only too glad to dispose of their farms f the pr cc offered is good enough what w 11 be the result maybe i or 15 years from now a middle aged couple mr and mrs rip van winkle will decide to take a run out to the country to get away from it all they will drive for miles and all they will see is huge chimney stacks and flat top fac tories mrs van winkle will turn to her husband and exclaim in dis 9 but rip i thought we were to take a drive through the country where is the country rip where are all the lovely farm places we used to know the contented cows grazing on tree shaded pas tures i was even hoping wc might find a farmhouse where we could buy some real milk or perhaps a little cream i am so tired of syn thetic products why is it so hard to get real dairy produce now rip well now that s a long story a story of supplj and demand syn thetic products caused many farm ers to go out of business there are still dairy farms farther out in the country but dairy products are now in the luxury class the general publ c has to be content with syn thetics they wanted them in the first place because they were cheaper now they have what they asked for and don t 1 ke what they have got loo well well then we might as well go home rip we haven t time to drive any farther and i was so hoping we could hae gone home with some real milk said mrs van w
