Things were re- moved froni bere ta there-rather mysteriausly-and in one case at least smashed.

LATEST FIGURES ON WHAT FARMERS HAVE DONE IN 1943 Official releases, juifta hand, give the folaowing summary af farmn production thraughaut Can- ada. Read if carefully: The preiiminary estimate ai the Canadian wheat crop for 1943 is piaced at 296,259,000 busheis. This in anly 50 per cent af the 1942 barveit and is the smallest wheat crop produced since 1937. Yield per acre was 16.9 busheis. The Canadian carryover at the begin- ning ai the present crop year was 601 million bushels, making the1 total supply available for the1 1943-44 crop year 870 million, bushels. Canadian consumption1 af wbeat in the crop year was 170 million buibels, campared witb the normal local consumption ai 100 million. Thatcher wbeat was4 dominant in neanly al af Sas- katchewan and Manitoba, accupy-i ing appraximately one half ai the grain-grawing area ai the tbree provinces. Thatcher is a descend-1 ent ai Marquis wheat. The Minuster ai Trade and Commerce announced an initial advance oi $1.25 per bushel, basis No. 1 Northern, with participation for farmers in any bigber pro- ceeds secured. The Canadian Wheat Board is empowered to purchase for government account ail unsold wheat stocks. The Can- adian Government will thus own ail unsold stocks of Western Can- adian wheat except wheat stored by producers on fanms. The larger area seeded to oats and barley offset to some extent the lower yields per acre, but total output is somewhat less than a year ago. The oat crop is esti- mated at 499,600,000 bushels, 152 million bushels less than in 1942, while barley is estimated to yield 222,655,000 bushels which is ap- proximately 36 million bushels less than in 1942. The greatest relative decline in the output of coarse grains was in Ontario and Quebec. These two provinces produced 135 million bushels of oats in 1942, but the first estimate of this year's crop indicates an output in the two provinces of about 75 million bushels. The Ontario barley crop is sligbtiy more than bahf that for 1942. The serious situation which has arisen is particularly import- ant in view of the large produc- tion of live stock and dairy pro- ducts in these provinces. Weather conditions put great difficulties in the way of transferring coarse grains from West to East. The transportation prablem hbas been enhanced by a bottleneck in inspections at the Head of the Lakes. In order to obviate this delay, restrictions on the move- ment of coarse grains containing weed seeds and other matter were removed. Prairie farmers are to receive in addition ta mar- ket prices of coarse grains, pay- ment of 10 cents a bushel on oats and 15 cents a bushel on barley. Production of livestock bas heen well maintained. Canadian farmers are this year supplying Great Britain with 85 per cent of its bacon requirements, while prior to the war Canada rarely supplied more than 20 per cent. The number of cattle slaughter- ed during 1943 bas been iess than in 1942. These supplies have been available for home consumption since there have been practically no exports and total marketings ai cattle are down about 17 per cent. The increased costs of feeding dairy cattle, because of the short- age of feed grains in Eastern Can- ada, bas been met by a revision in the subsidies on dairy products on the following basis: Fifty-five cents per hundred pounds to producer -distribu tors of fluid milk and of such milk bought by distributors for fluid milk çonsumption as the Agri- cultural Food Board may direct. "It is expected that these sub- sidies, together with the prices at which milk selîs, will make it possible for farmers ta praduce sufficient milk to provide the milk necessary ta, feed the civilian and armed population as well as supply our allies with cheese ýrnd canned milk in considerable quantities? Eyesight Education And Efficiency By -Optemetrist Eyesight Soeesalist Disney Bldg. (opp. P.O.) Oshawa Phone1516l -281 - As may be expected the early types of glasses would be clumsy and heavy. Chinese in the ea;:ly ages wore leather mounted glasses held in place by weights over the ears, and at a mucb later date we have Benjamin Franklin with the iran clad heavy frame. It is said that Nero, the Roman Emper- or, watched the fighting gladia- tors with the aid ai a concave emerald. There is little ta be found in the early history ta show how and wben scientific aids ta the eyes came about. This wauld there- fore go ta show that wbat little progress there was, was of neces- sity forced upon the sufferer. Then the saying was coined, "Necessity is the mother of in- vention."
