THURSDAY, AUGUST 17TH, 1939 Thi.s week we publish the third in the series of guest editorials contributed by local organizations. The editorials this week are written by outstanding and well known Durham County farmers who are active members of the Durham Central Agrieul- tural Society whose chief project is the an- nual fali fair at Orono in September.. We have often commented in these columns that Durhamn farmers are a superior group, considerably above the average hii pro- gressiveness, intelligence and moral char- acter. This is born out ini the straight for. ward and impressive manner in which they have penned their thouglits, on diversified and timely subjects, in the following edi- tonials. In this connection we would also caîl the attention of our readers ta an art- icle on page 3 on ",Solving the Farm Pro- blem," written by M. H. Staples, Treasurer of the Agicultural Society and a well known Clarke Township farmen. Whether you arc an urban or rural dweller you will find these editonials inspiring, informative and thought-provoking. Next week's edi- tonials will be supplied by members of Bow- manville Town Council.-The Editor. Work That's Neyer Donc "I have to work so liard to make a liv- ing that I haven 't time for anything else." Is any complaint more common on the lips of most people who are gainfully employed today? Particulanly is this true amongst faniners, perhaps with good neason. The old rhyme comes readily to mi,. "Man works from sun ta sun but woman 's work is neyer done. " But what work is ever done? He would be a strange persan who could brin g himself to believe that having finished any one-job, work that lie miglit do was done. Iife is flot like that. The tragedy is that so many of us let work ciget us down, " down in spirit, down in outlook, down in fniendliness, down in the very thing we are aiming at, viz satisfac- tion in the fruits of lour work. Suppose we were to caîl a haît and see wliat it is all about, take stock of what we are gaining by all this sweat and saap. And if we fix our eye on neiglibour -Hiram who whistles as lie goes, we will find this, that work is just as endless for him as for us. More important stili we will discover that lie bas possession of some secret in the conduct of bis work which we may reasonably hope to discover if we don't set about it too late.

Thinklng In A Big Way Not long since a farmer in aur commun- ity received a letter froue a city irieîîd wio knew littie about ianm ile. Amangst other things sIe wrote flua: "If lias ahways seem- .4 f<, me that farmers iving in flic great open aspaees as tîey do must le able ta thiaik in a big way."

For tbis is big thinking. Do farmens more than othens, because af their environmient, tbink in a big way? One would like ta think so. Or do we all sin and came short? J. B. Priestly ini a necent article spoke of us ELs living in a "car and wireless age, living a life without deptli and fuliness!" How true and how sad! It is nat by resigning ounselves physically and mentally ta the car and the radio that we are going ta think in a big eniough way ta find a path out of the confusion whicli surrounds us today. An Unfortunate Trend For rnany yeans the tendency in ahl in- dustmy lias been toward fewer liaurs of labour and igler pay per boum. There is a total agreernent on ail hands that on tlie wliole this lias been a good thing. But fron the days wlien men, wamen and even childrnî worked fourteen and sixteen hauts a day ini factony an mine at starvation pay ta the eiglit or nine liaur day with higli pay is a fan cmy. One wonders if thene is not a happy umedium somewliere and if, in some instances it may not bave been passed.. Cer- tain it is that grave weaknesses in the pre- sent orden are appearing. Constituted as we are it séeus essential that witli reasonable opportunity for relaxation and recreation we must be usefully employed. But wliat is actually happening in urban industry? As liauns of labour are sliontened and pay per lour increased more and more mach- inemy is being. intraduced ta take the place of hand labour, leaving less and lcss cm- playrnent available. Not only bave we large numbers ai men in aur midst constant- ly unemployed but even amongst those ac- tually an payrolls the days on whidh they are nat needed are gncatly an thc increase. Idleness lias always been considered, and rigltly sa, thc breeding ground ai mischief. The large numbens of men wlio are let out at this season of the year irom aur great factonies certain thaftlihey will nat be cali- cd in ion many weeks and nat vcry certain if tley will ever be called 'back are not ini a happy position. But this is the trend in urban indusfry. A Matter for-Concern to Farmers The facf that the number of liaurs of womk per year in urban indusfmy is con- stantly namowing is ai vital interest ta farmens in more ways than anc. Let us consider why. In a recent monthly.repart submittcd by thc Bureau of Agricultumal Eeonomics af thc United States, we read: " If tlic country as a wliolc were fulhy at work - consumer expenditures for food would be perliaps five billion ta six billion dollars greater than at present and pro- bably hlu of this suni would bc passed on ta farmers." Now whilc aur payralls are mucli smalier than thase ai aur neigliboun ta the sauth and whule we mare than tliey are dependent on oflien caunt ries for mar- kets, yct it goes witliout saying that -me- gularity af wark witli its resultant regulan- ity ai pay, have a vital bearing on flic pur- cliase of food. Sa while employer and e.mployee have been figliting cach for bis iglits if is ta le icared they have bad small regard for the consequences taoflihers. Farmens for the most part bave stond idly by. This cannot go on indefinitely. lIow Far Recovery As anc jaurneys aenoss the prairie pro- vinces this season lic cannot fail ta be stnuek by thc magnitude of the crop likely ta be liarvested. Thraughout the grawing season conditions have been quite favour- able and aven great areas ideal. What ai tlie lianvst, gnanted it is ail that at this time it appears ta be? It is difficuit for ait Eastennen ta nealize that in thc midst of euch plenty there may be a skelcton. Yet here is the situation. The governmenf lias guaranfecd a price fan wheat on thc basis ai 70e for No. 1 Narfhern at Fort Williami. Froue thîs must le deduced thc fneighft t that point whicli may le as mucli as 20e per l)ushel. Then tlic grade is ta le con- sidered; same vaities of wheat liaving been dcclared as not eligible for aniy grade bigher than No. 3 no matter how good. In addition no farmer may market more than 5,000 bushels at f lat figure, for any more, he must accept market price. Thus, ini spife ai gavernmcnt bolstering ai pnice, wliat flic farmer actually receives is going ta be small. Had this came in a succession ai normal years ahl miglit le well but it is not 50. Can we get if info aur Eastern heads that even yet in the midst ai plenty the vasf rnajanity ai families (in whale districts every famiiy) arc neceiving relief in the forue ai gracenies, chat hing and medical services?1 The thouglit is liard ta gnasp. Then add ta this tlie deterigrated macbinery whidli must be replaced, not ta mention the debfs accuuerulated during the drouglit. If looks as thoughi flicgaod crop has a big job aliead ai it. Living Wlth Trees A fcw yeams aga a neiglibaur ai ours punchased a small farue on whicli was a house attractively set in tlie midst ai a great varicty ai flowering shrubs. Standing toward anc side was a small clump ai un- usual lilacs, treesai rare beauty. Within a year these were ah ceut down. The reason? The new owner considered they wene tak- ing up ground that miglit be mucli better planted ta berrnes. Bernies are enrtainly a wholesome and inviting fruit and vèry useful ini their way; sa arenuts, lumben, rayon, dyes and many othen antcles, ail products of trees. Witli an eye on intmediate utility men have apprais- cd the value af trees as tbey have yielded these # necessities. It is sunely significant that during the field day on reforestation lield recentiy in aur United Counties, 'an accaunt af whicli was published last issue in these columns, emphagis sliould bave been laid an an entirely different aspect of the pnoject now so well under way. While having due regard for the large place taken by trees in supplying articles of com- merce, speaker aften speaker dîvelt on the influence of trees on men and women wlio dwelt in thein shade, wlio atched the carl- iest buds unfold, and wlio foliawed their development until they stood in all thein autumn glony. As a source ai inspiration, consolation, comfort and contentment wliat can surpass a tree, a grave, or a wooded upland t Ah these are there for the seeing eye. In calling attention ta this phase of tnec life and tree culture aur farestry men anc doing a fine thing. When War Kits lligh Who of us is tliere ,who lias not at some tirne beard the nemark that if thase who made wan had ta do the actual figliting there would nat be war.

But no longer is this truc. Thc fan cruising air plane with its load of dcatli-dealing gas and explosives has chiang-- ed ail that. Noý castle, no factory, na sea pont, no place in fact cau be considered safe, either fan life or for economie interest. May it not well be that this is the really patent factor in maintaining as mucli peace as we have in the present tnoubled state af the world? ADRICIILTURAL The Shade 0f The OId Apple Trree DR. CHAS. T. PAUL'S Thc title ai this aid sang so familiar a generation or more ago recalîs ta mind an industry wliic arpared with the industry as apple growcrs know it taday presents same striking contnasts. The author ai the sang was familian witli the old-fashioned Harvest Apple or Englisli Russet 50 com- mon years ago. that stood near the hause, and amongst wliose branches the boys and girls would clirnb and swing, watching day by dey the fruit ;mature and nipen and finally feasting on lusciaus apples. Gone anc these ald favorites and in thein place anc new and improved vanicties. Gone aiso are the pest-fnee conditions unden whidh apples grew witli almost no atten- tion. Today, the successful ordhardist must be highly skilled in lis occupation. Just think aiofthc animalsý iiisects, fungus grawtbs,-.and wcatlien vagaries, that be in wait ta do hue injury. The growen plants lis trees. Froue that day thnougliout the life of tiiat t.ree lie must be an constant .guard against mouse injuny. Tliousands ai trees have been ruined in aur vicinity by these diminutive rodens during recent years. 0f equal m~enace is the jack rabbit, a fainly recent camer, a bcast with capacity, ap- petite,, and ambition enougli for a single individual ta damage a score or mare *trees in anc niglit. But that is not ail for once growth be- gins in thc spring aur grower rnust spray and spray and cultivate or lielias ta com- bat Tnee Happer, Bank Louse, Bud Moth, Coddling Moth, Leaf Roller, Leaf Happer, Green and Rosy Aphis, Tent Catempillar, Apple Maggot, Mngus, Ceky Obxe, Drouglit Spot, and other marauders. Seven or cight sprays are necessary ta keep tlieu in check involviîîg thousands of dollars îvorth of cquiprnent and matenial., No sooner is spraying aven than atten- tion must be tutncd ta supporting lieavily laden branches and ta thinning those trees wlicrc too heavv a load would resuit in srnall and valueless fruit. It seems almost toa mucli ta have ta mention drouglit, hail and violent windstorms, but tlicy do corne occasionally and witli disastrous results to apple orcliards. A consideration of the liazards involved as well as of thc unending cane and fore- sight exemcised in the production ai tree fruit should give us a juster lappreciation ai the position ai the apple gmower and penliaps a keenen relisli for thie produet witli whicli le supplies us.
