Military trucks in the 1500 cwt. class, now declared surplus ta re- quirements, have for some time been placed on sale for distribu- tion among farmers. Since many local farmers have been enquiring when they might share in the dis- posal of these handy and useful vehicles, we can naw give a gen- eral view of how distribution is made. Kenneth Betzner, Waterloo far- mer and President of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, toge- ther witb V. S. Milburn, secre- tary, and Andrew Hebb, editar, Rural Co-operatar, called an the editar, Monday, an their way ta Kingston ta attend an auction sale of these trucks for farmers. From them we learned the general set- up. When these trucks first were turned over ta the War Assets Corporation, the plan was ta per- mit their sale thraugh accredit- ed dealers. Generally they were snapped up by industrial flrms. The Ontario Federation stepped in and insisted farmers be given a chance ta bid at arranged auc- tians. A successful sale was held at Markham. Other sales have been arranged by districts. The sale at Kingston, Tuesday, was arranged for farmers from Hastings Caunty eastward. An- ather sale takes place at Toronto, Friday, Nov. 30, for farmers of surrounding caunties. At the same time the original "dealer" outlet is maintained. The stipulations regarding these farm auctians is that any farmer wishing ta bid must file applica- tion with the local county Feder- atian stating bis township, lot and concession and certifying the truck would be used for farm pur- poses only. His application with all others goes into a container and a draw is made. If he draws a lucky chance he can bid on a truck under a ceiling averaging $330 per truck. Farmers of Durham County came within the Toronto regian, but will have little time now ta file applications for the Toronto sale on Friday. It is haped that future sales may be listed for no- tice in the local press in time ta share in distribution. Advice was alsa given that no Jeeps will be available for farmers and others for the entire surplus is earmark- ed for the home military setup. It's the division between parents that adds up ta prablem children.

The Statesman joins with Howe's numerous relatives and friends in the Bowmanville district in off ering congratula- tions. W. R. Reek, Deputy Minister of Agriculture Head of O.A.C.

FRANK WILLIAMS tLI Or Comnmend British Gov't Agricultural Policy Strong commendation for the British gavernment's recently an- nounced policy of assuring farm- ers satisfactory prices as far as four years in advance, was given by -the Canadian Federation of Agriculture recently in a state- ment issued by H. H. Hannam, President and Managilig Directar of the Federation. Mr. Hannam said: "The palicy of giving producers an assurance of satisfactary pri- ces through either the medium of floor prices or fixed prices as far as four years in advance, is ad- mirable from the standpaint of the security it gives agricultural producers. This is entirely in line with the policy recommend- ed by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, and already applied to some extent by the Canadian gavernment. The difference in this respect between British and Canadian government palicy is that the British government ap- parently are giving assurance of fixed or guaranteed prices several years in advance, on major pro- ducts, while as yet, the Canadian gavernment is committed only to floor prices projected into the fu- ture. In fact, the Canadian wheat policy for the present year seems to be very much the same as the British gavernment's announced palicy, in that we have nowx a guaranteed floor price for wheat over a five-year period, and a guarantee that the initial price for the present year will be $1.25 a bushel. 'Tramn the press repart, it ap- pears that the British gavern- ment intends ta carry forward two price levels. One, a floor price for a faur-year periad reviewed every twa years, and the other, a guaranteed price which means a margin above the floor prîce and this margin negotiated between government and producers an- nually. It appears ta be a very desirable type of pragram fromn the standpaint af giving security ta agricultural praducers. We should point out, however, that it would be more difficuit in Can- ada for us ta wark aut a success- fuI pragram of guaranteed prices, because we cansume only a por- tion af aur total production in the home market. "Ta Canadian producers, the British gavernment policy of dis- passessing landowners who are regarded as unco-aperative, seems rather severe, and in aur country where land resaurces are exten- sive, there is hardly the same need for such a palicy. If, how- ever, British farmers will sup- port sucb a policy in the interests of more efficient farming, it wauld hardly be fair or discreet for us ta express any criticism of their way of daing things." A Farmer's Wife Looks at Strikes R. J. Deachman There appeared recently in the Canadian Countryman, a farm journal published in Toronto, a letter fram Mrs. William Schrag of Zurich, Huron Caunty, a let- ter which expresses the farm at- titude ta strikes mare clearly than anything else I have heard ar read this year. Here it is: "It seems that ail we hear about these days is Strikes! Strikes! and mare Strikes! "Mare pay for less work!" I aften won- der what all these strikers think (I daubt if they think much, or deeply) when they vate ta strike far their demands. Do they han- estly believe their action justi- fied? Da they really think they are getting less than their share of the income of the nation as a whole? Do they foresee the re- sult of their demands, if met, upon the economic if e af the cauntry? Or are they determin- ed ta get ahl they can at the pres- ent moment, regardless? "Apparently the only large graup in the country nat in a striking moad is the farm popula- tion. The farmer seems ta be sat- isfled. He is enjoying a position of ecanamic parity-a position in which bis returns for a 12-hr. day (plus the hours cantributed by bis wife and children) are equal ta the returns of the indus- trial laborer for bis 8-hr. day. "Let us assume that aIl these groups havé a moral right ta 'a 30 per cent .Nage increase and a 40-hr. week." Do they not con- cede ta all the nan-striking cr-up+1te.same ightf? TLet us wages remained at a statianary level. "Wouldn't that be a happy sit- uation? In conclusion, will say I am against the "closed shop"- for free trade, and believe that if ail people practised true Chris- tianity, the world wauld enjoy a continually expanding prasperity sucb as is impossible for the im- agination ta conceive."
