We think farm famîlies could have more modern conveniences if they choose ta do so (assuming that the 'materials are available) as Hydro is getable in most parts of the Province. These canveniences are labor saving and give the farm family a wider outlook. To iower the cost of farm sup- plies and equipment, farmers should buy co-operatively in large quantities., We agree farm familles should not sacrifice their standard of liv- ing (conveniences, health, educa- tion. culture) in order ta pay off mortgages. We only go through this world once, so why wait for these conveniences until the mort- gage is paid, being then taa old ta enjoy same. Farmn propemty value is increased, hence the con- veniences became an asset, flot a liability. However, a persan's mental attitude tawards a mort- gage decides what he considers most important - the youngem genematian of today look on mort- gage in a different attitude ta their parents, and insist an a stan- dard of living that compares fav- orably with that in cities or else they won't farm. Next meeting will be at Eaml Osbomnes on February 9. S.S. 4 DARLINGTON FORUM S.S. N. 4 Darlington Farm For- um met at the home of Ada and Glen Pickell ta discuss the topic: Is Farm Income used Efficiently. It has been stated that farm families could have mare modemn conveniences at the present time if they choase. What do you think? It was agreed that fammn peo- ple are entitled toalal the con- 'veniences they can afford but as for going inta debt ta them was debatable. We thought finally that it was up ta eacl individual faniily ta decide. Farm incarne wauld buy mare if farm supplies and equipment cast less. Can you suggest ways of lowering these costs? Fimst, we see no reason why the steel that goes into aur machin- ery should ahl be processed across the barder and aur equipment merely assembled here which is sa often the case. We can alsa help keep dawn costs by mare ca-operative buying and also by working co-operatively. Should the famm family sacri- fice its standard of living (con- veniences, health, education, cul- ture) in arder ta, pay aff mort- gage or buy equipment? It usually follows that where the mortgage is higher the stan- dards of living are lower. It was feit that as for health and education, these should be made available to ahl members of the family regamdless of debt in- curred. For conveniences and culture, this could be a matter of chaice and in the case of culture, it wauld depend on the ability of each individual. Number present, 18. Our next meeting is at the home of the secretary, Arthur Found. TIMOTHY SEED In pre-war years big quantities t>f timathy seed were imported ini- ta Canada, but during the war, production of this seed took a big jump. Output in 1947 was about 121,1 million poundf:-down about 21à million pounds from 1946. As stocks on hand at the end of 1947 were about 41/ million pounds and Canadian requirements for 1948 are placed at 16 million pounds, there should be about one million pounds open for expart. A few weeks ago in northern India, aboriginies fought armed police with bows and amows. Business Directory_ Legal _ _ W. R. STRIKE, K.C.

Grace Jr., Bawmanville, with Mm. and Mrs. A. Gruce Sm. Cangregational meeting was held Sunday after.service. There weme reports from ail depatments and each one showed a good bal- ance on hand. The steady unbmoken cold spel bas made a shartage of soft wa- ter. There seems to be a general feeling that we might have an early spring. However, this could. be more the esuit of wishful thinking than actual signs yet in evidence. Approximately 10,000,000 bu-. shels of high quality seed grain wihl be required in Ontario in the spring of this year, says John D. McLeod, Director of the Cmops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, and present indications are that there will be a shortage of seed. Those wha have their own seed, says Mm. McLeod, can help out the situation in three ways; (1) By cleaning their seed eurhy; (2) 0f- feing any surplus for sale; (3) Making use of the seed cleaning' plants when they are nat busy. Those living in close proximity ta a seed cleuning plant are ad- vised by Mm. McLeod ta take ad- vantage of the facilities which it offers for preparation o! seed. The majority of these plants are equipped with modern machin- ery for scouring, cleaning, grad- ing and separating o! seed andi are prepared ta give a 24-boum service. Most plants are idle ut the present time, so it is sound advice ta make use a! thema now, avoiding the rush in March and April. Fammers who> hava their seed cleaned naw will be pre- pared when seeding time cornes. There is no question, udds Mr. McLeod, about the wisdomn of sowing dlean, well-graded seed, or of the benefits derived from Si. PauI's Y.P.
