BELL TELEPHONE Pontypool Farmer Wonderful Research Ontaio Champion in Work by Experimental Potato Competition Farms in Past 60 Years The Grand Championship for potato growing open to all On- tario for the season 1946, has been won by Milton Weatheritt and Sons, Bethany, Durham County. Standing thîrd in total score came Henry Blakely, Pontypool, which places Durham County away out front in this important field of agriculture. The winner takes the $250 cash prize together with a handsome trophy donated by Canadian Mn-ý dustries Limited, manufacturers of fertilizer, which sponsored the contests. Terms to be conformed with were that a competitor must have won first prize in a local contest to be eligible for the Provincial Con- test. The winner must also ex- hibit a hamper o! show potatoes at the Royal Winter Fair. A score of 300 or more bushels per acre had to be obtained to enter the finals. Total score included 200 points for yield per acre, 200 as market- able product per acre and 100 for exhibit at the Royal, a total o! 500 points. Judging was in charge of a member o! the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture and a nominee of the Crop Improvement Association, which organization will present the awards at its annual meeting. More Local Hoisteins Go to Sknath America And at Fancy Prices Reported in last week's States- man was the sale of two Holstein heifers by Archie Muir and Sons, Courtice, to an Argentine buyer. ¶We have learned later that other Hoîstein breeders in this district contributed to the quota o! 73 head bought up by Argentine buy- ers on their six weeks' buying tour of Ontario. Everett Brown, Orono, sold two heifers at $ 1,500 each and James T. Brown, Newcastle, received $ 1,400 for a heifer, ail destined for the Argentine. R. Ray Mc- Laughlin, Oshawa, sold some at a price undisclosed. The buyers were Guillermo Bulirich and Dr. Hector Estengo, Buenos Aires. It was disclosed when the Canadian shipment was assemâbled that Senor Bullrich has the largest dairy herd in the worid, some 30,000 head, and Dr. Estengo's herd is numbered in the thousands. Highest price paid was for a bull contributed. by a Western Ontaritl breeder at $14,- 000. LUNCH BOXES Lunches to "take out" should consist of more than a mere sand- wich, in the opinion of nutrition authorities o! the Departmen'to! National Health and Welfare, Ot- tawa. In advice to those making up "box lunches," the depart- ment's nutrition officers advise: "Put in raw carrot sticks, fresh tomatoes, cooker or prepared fruit in a covered paper container, and a hot or cold drink in a ther- jmos bottie. These will add vani- ety and food value to the lunch." COMPANY 0F CANADA The Dominion Experimental Farms Service celebrated its dia- mond jubilee this year. In sixty years the Experimental Farms have grown from the original five established in 1886, to a chain across the country of 29 Farms and Stations, 6 Sub-Stations, 8 Labor- atonies, 157 Illustration Stations and 51 District Experiment Sub- Stations. Great changes have taken place in Canadian agriculture in these sixty years. The amount of land used for farming has increased foun!old. Land sown to grains such as wheat, oats and baniey' has increased from 15 million to 57 million acres. The number o! hogs on farms is now about seven times what if was in 1886. This tremendous growth in ag- riculture was given many a push forward by the research work o! the Dominion Experimental Farms. Through the discovery o! Marquis wheat-early maturing and hence frost-evading-the prairies were enabled to become the "Bread basket of the world." Later wheat varieties-Renown, Apex, Thatcher, Regent, Redman -have the same hard quaiity of Marquis but in addition are rust- resistant. Now there is also a sawfly-resistant wheat called Res- cue. But wheat has been only one o! the fields o! activity o! the Ex- perimental Farms. They have ai- s0 developed suitable varieties o! hybrid corn, tobacco, sugar beets, soybèans. They have done a great cleal o! valuable work on varieties o! fruit, on poultry, on soij conser- vation, on animal breeding and animai nutrition, on weed control and insect pest control, and many other problems o! agriculture. Other agencies besides the Do- minion Expenimental Farms are active in agricultunal research. Some o! these are Dominion- the National Research Council, the Economics Division and the Sci- ence Service o! the Dominion De- partment o! Agriculture. Some are Provincial-the Experimental Farms o! Provincial Departments o! Agriculture and the Coileges o! Agriculture. And some are pri- vate organizations and commer- cial firms such as the canning companies. The subi ect o! agricultunal re- search will be discussed in Na- tional Farm Radio Forum on No- vember 25fh. The question will be Is Research Meeting Farm Needs? " Farm Problems on International Stage The main problem of farmersi everywhere, the desire for stabil- ity, security, the raising of the standard of living in mne farm home, and the maintaining of soul fertility throughout the years, are now for the firsIt time in the lore- front of world affairs, declareci H. H. Hannam, President of the Can- adian Federation of Agriculture, in an address before the annual meeting of the United Grain Growers, at Calgary. In this address, and in others delivered since his return from the FAO meeting in Copenhagen, Mr. Hannam has pictured the growth in stature and influence of the Canadian Federation of Agri- culture since its establishment il years ago, and with the leading part the Federation has taken in the formation of the international federation of farmers. Commenting on the fact that he had made two trips across the At- lantic this year, the remarkable thing about the fact was that the trips were both concerned with food and the welfare of the people who tili the soil. He told of the Federation's participation in the formation of F.A.O., the interna- tional, food and agriculture or- ganization of the United Nations, and told also of the great success of the international gathering of farmers in London last May, where one of the outstanding fac- tors was the unanimîty with which farmers from 31 nations worked together and made decisions. -The F.A.O. program" said Mr. Hannam, "holds out the hope of placing human considerations first in the handling of world trade in foodL and other agricultural pro- ducts. "It is recognized now that an expanding food production pro- gram can be successful only if it is organized on an international plane. It is recognized also that surpluses in the hands of individ- ual nations can clog and under- mine the world economy, cause famine, and a revival o! economic warfare. The problem is one of distribution and can be met only by collective international action. "The more I see of these inter- national conferences," said M r Hannam, "the more I realize that a tremendous opportunity is op- ened up for organized farmers to get their views across and their policies into effect. With effective organîzation internationally cir- cumstances may permit farmers to have even. a greater influence on international polîcies than they have on policies in their own res- pective countries." Speaking of the Federation, Mr. Hannam said, "In il years Cana- dian farmers have a record of achievement in organization not equalled in many lands. Cana- dian farmers have demonstrated that they can stick together and work together. Incidentally, if we appreciate the achievements and fruits of united action, isn't it on- ly common sense for us to remain united?" T EA Address on Monty Delivered at Oratory Contest at Orono As intimated in The Statesman it was the hope of the editor that some of the adciresses delivered by Public School pupils in the Ora- torical Contests held at Orono would be received for publication. We are happy to present here- with the address o! Miss Jessie McArthur, Blackstock, as follows: LIFE 0F FIELD MARSHAL MONTGOMERY Field Marshal Montgomery was born in London, England in 1887. His parents were Irish and his early years were spent in Tas- mania where his father was a bi- shop. As a small boy he liked to watch the Australian troops march through the streets o! Ho- bart, Tasmania, on their way ov- erseas in the Boer War and made up his mind to become a soldier. The family returned to the Brit- ish Isies early in the 20th century. Montgomery was a small child, strong and slim and often prefer- red going on long walks by him- self rather than playing with his five brothers and his two sisters. He was excellent in sports while at school and always remaîned in- tent on becoming a soldier. He entered Sandhurst College and in 1908 took a commission in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. He was 26 when the first great war broke out and hi!ý regiment was soon on the western front. He won the D.S.O. for his part in a bay- onet assault on the German tren- ches and was wounded at the same tîme. Before the war end- ed he was mentioned in dispatches six times, awarded the Croix de Guerre and was wounded for the second time. After the peace he served with the army o! the Rhine and between wars held various military posts in England, India, Palestine and Trans-Jordan. When war came again in 1939 Montgomery took a division f0 France, led it through the 1940 campaign, and brought it back to England from the beaches of Dun- kerque. For a time he command- ed the 5th Corps in Britain and later assumed command of the Eighth Army in Egypt. During the Egyptian campaign this short, sharp-featured British- er became a hero to his soldiers and to the Allied people. He was the first British commander to realize what a people's war means and how much the morale o! the men at the front affects the people at home and vice versa. Within three weeks of his arrival in Af- PAGE TEN rica he had halted Rommel's last attempt to break through. Seven weeks later he launched a cam- paign and his great rout of the Nazis from Africa began. In Af- rica as in all his campaigns he in- stilled in his men a family spirit which made themn feel as if they were not just cannon "fodder" but a necessary part in a great game. He thought all ranks should see their commander as often as pos- sible and, that they shouldt know him hie adopted a distinctive form of dress which included the fa- miliar black beret of the tank corps. He placed great emphasis on youth and physical fitness in all his men and demanded the highest degree of mental and physicai discipline. After the flghting in Africa he was commander o! his famed 8th Army in Italy and Sicily with the rank of general. Here he con- tinued his triumphs. In 1944 he went to northwest- ern Europe as commander of the 2lst Army Group and here he directed all the ground forces en- gaged in the last events o! the war. In August 1944 he was ap- pointed a Field Marshal and was referred to as one o! the greatest soldiers o! all time. He was on the King's New Year's honour list and received a peerage with the title Viscount Montgomery o! Aie- mein to commemorate hîs cele- brated desert victory. "Monty" as his friends caîl him, has been spoken o! by Churchill as "severe, accomplished and tire- less, his life given to the study of war and as being able to attract to himsel! the confidence and de- votion of his army." General Ei- senhower said "Without the great sacrifices made by the armies un- der Montgomery in a series o! brutal battles in northwestern Europe, the advances made else- where by the Allied forces could neyer have come about." With belîs pealing and whistles blowing Canada has recently wel- comed Field Marshal Montgom- ery to her shores and has had the honour of greeting the iittle boy who almost haîf a century ago de- cided, to become a professional soldier and has come a long and victorious way to his present post, of chie! of the Imperial General staff. He is greatly interested in boys and has indicated that when he retires he will devote his time and energy to the furtherance of their development and welfare. Neither human appiause nor human censure is to be taken as the test of truth; but either should set us upon testing ourselves.- Whatley.
