Western Canada ta the mixed farming aneas o! cas- tern Canada, and particularly ta Ontario. The west, with surplus grain, bas incneased live stock production. But that, in degree, is seasonal. Hog production falîs during winter montbs. Faîl de- livenies of bogs are so fan below the standard o! 200 lbs. weigbt that the Bacon Board threatens dnastic action. Everywhere f arm- crs are seeking a way ta improve their finances. They demand "ýparity" prices as a way out. What are paniiy prices? Tbat is a universal question capable o! a goad many answers differing in phraseology yet meaning about the same tbîng. In general the answer may be stated that parity prices sbould enable a farmer ta exchange what be produces for wbat he necds on as favorable a basis as be did in good times, for instance 1926-29 wbicb, by law, bas been chosen as the basic par- ity period for wage carners. The Canadian Federation o! Agriculture, in season and out, bas called upon the fedenal ad- ministration ta f ix a policy whicb will assure farm parity prices. They point ta the fact that the United States govcnnment legis- lated toward that end and by that very faci, Canadian prices were f avorably affectcd. According ta the Country Genîteman, a mca- sure befare Congress authonizes the President ta fix a ceiling on cammadities, but farm pnices could nat be confined under 110 per cent o! parity. This farm paper presents a schedule a!f farm prices whicb wc reproduce, with a ck n ow1e d g- ments, as woriby o! study. Actual and Parity Prices o! farm products, August 1941: Farm Actual 110% Parity 7Products Prices Prices >Butter! at, U.S.A. lb. $ .36 $ .364 $ .331 Whole Milk, N.Y. cwt. 2.44 2.36 2.15 Eggs, U.S.A. doz. .268 .309 .281 Hogs, U.S.A. lb. .104 .108 .098 Wheat, U.S.A. bu. .885 1.31 1.19 Their base period is 1909-1914. Actual prices today are above parity in most cases. Eggs are off slightly and wheat considerably. It would be intcnesting to find a similan chart ouilining Canadian prices.

Every right thinking man in Canada is in my opinion feel- ing smothered in a fog o! frustra- tion and if sufficient beams can be launcbed ta penetrate the gloom this fog will eventually be dissipated. Wbat we need is gavernment with guts and 1 don't care wbat party banner it flies. More power ta you, George Hart FEDERATION SECRETARY PRAISES STATESMAN Booth Building, Ottawa, Canada December 29, 1941 Dean Mn. James: We want ta express aur ap- preciation o! tbe meeting yau beld. at wbich J. S. McLean and Mn. Meigben and aihens were present, as nepanted in youn issue o! Dacember 25th. As we have said before ta you, we believe the question o! solving the problem o! agicultune is a national anc and it sbould engage the attention a! sncb men as Mn. Meighen and Mn. McLean. Youn effort in bingiîîg thero ta a meeting with practical fanm- ens deserves bighest cammenda- tion. If ibis could be done in every town in Canada whene ihene is a gaod weekly ncwspaper, it would go a long way towards solving the prablem o! agricul- ture. Wisbing yon the compliments o! the season.

AYRE, SHEEF BREEDER CLAIMS FARMING A DEPRESSED INDUSTRY Fair Vicw Farm, Hampton, Decemben 23, 1941 Dean Sir: Enclosed find cheque for States- man until the finsi o! 1943. Again I wisb ta ibank you for giving me the opporturîity o! ai- tending the dinnan given by you on Satunday. The discussions xvere very in- tanesiing. Pensonaliy I hope that any o! the town on city peopla xvho bad the pnivilege of attend- iog thai meeting, will not be led ta believe thai the statament made by Mn. McLean and latar in the meeting by W. F. Rickand, M.P., that the fanming industny is not a depnessad indusiry ai the present. I do agnee witb the state- ments made by the othen gentle- men, especiaily M. H. Staplas, J. T. Brown, Gannet Rickand, and Russell Osborne. Fanming is a depncsscd industny ai the presani time. At the pres- cnt pnice o! wheai, whicb is peg- ged ai 8212 a bushel and Decem- bar option is quoied ai 74e a bush- ci, makes appnoximatcly 48 loav- es of bread, which the consumer pays $4.80 for, and the farman gais approximaiely the 80c. A pair o! ail woollen socks will cosi 85c. The farmen gais lass than 5c for the amouni o! wool in the pain o! socks. The tanning industny is mucb the sama, as ail the tanians that I know are millionainas which have made their monay from the produets o! the farm. In the dairy indusiny the farin- er neceives iess than 5c a quart trra the milk soid ta dainies wxhila the consumer pays 13c. I know o! men who didn'i make a success oui o! farming who wvant ta the citv and xvent ia othe ne- tail miik business, ho a course af not many yeans they have bacome w'ealihy menl. In ibis district thena isn't a 100- acre farn oui o! ten thai bas more than ana man on it, wbenc ihere should be twa on every !arm and in smc cases ibnce. Fnom aur own yard wc can count 6 silos that nai a shovel full o! ensilage bas been put int themn ibis ycar owing ta !anm con- ditions I am sunprised ibai anyone thinks that fanming is nat a de- pressed industny ai the present time.

A New Year 'sMessage Citizens of Durham County: To conceive proper expression for the sentiments of any man occupying a position of public trust is most difficult in these times of world crisis. It is, therefore with very grave feel- ings that I dîseharge my obligation to the electorate of Durham County in wishing for each and everyone the best in health and success that may be achieved during 1942. We have as the great- est bulwark and hope of the preservation of democracy the in- spiring words of The Empire's great leader, Winston Churchill, lately spoken from the Capital: Let us ail, solemnly, grimly and with enduring determination, be worthy of our heritage.

SALVAGE SCRAP STEEL NOWM The news despatch b'iýow re- veals that Ottawa is fully cog- nizant o! steel scrap laying around, especially street car tracks. The Fort Erie Times-Re- view and The Statesman have for a long time urged intensified col- lection of scrap. Now Ottawa bas an alibi. " cst of collection" is prohibitive. We told o! Kingston recovering their street car tracks. Wonder if Ottawa knows that there are today, December 30, 1941, over 1000 idie men in this district, with prospects of being idle for some time. They are oui of work because the gavernmnent didnt look fan enough ahead to meet the entry o! Japan ia the war and Provide the matenials for them înstanily ta turo. ta othen work, with nai a minute's delay. Let these temparary unemployed men recover the abandoned car tracks in Oshawa within the space of ane week. That is a challenge! Ottawa-Abaridoned street car tracks in Canadian cities repre- sent a reservoir of scrap metal, but it may remnain uniouched be- cause of the cast of callecting it, salvage officiaIs said. It was estimated ihat thousands of tons of unused steel, admitiedly valuable for war purposes, lies embedded in Canadian streets. The difficulty is that breaking and restoring street surfaces makes the cast a! abiaining the scrap uneconamical. "Sa fan we bave been encaunag- ing the collection of scnap above ground raiber than under it," a salvage officiai said.
