Wbere 'id there werc lakes most years, there werc small pooîs or none this 'id year. Possibly, because there was *o. no frost in the ground, thus ah- lowing the water to soak in in- stead of running off to the creeks and other bodies of watcr, and taking good top soil with it. The o]d timers used to argue thatý rwinter bad not arrived if the d-grouind wasn't frozen before bcbng covered with snow. I-ow do tbey t~explain the last four montbs raway?

Well, well, so that is wbere our ciga- rettes used to disappear eh? When we werc young, we some- times were permitted to attend the local farmer's market on Sat- urdays. One crotchetry old lady tised to want to sample aIl the butter on display, then say some- thing sarcastic to the vendor, and buzz off without purchasing any. This made the farmer salesmen very angry, But, she finally met ber match. One day she tastcd a farmer's butter and asked "Is this good butter?'

Orme was Plw'ays proud of bis family's con- nection witl' the development of Durham County. To him, Oron'o was the hub of the universe.

Depletion of Ontario Sal Discussed At Quinte Seed Banquet At the annual banquet of the Quinte District Sccd Fair, held mn Peterboro hast week under chairmanship of President John Rickard, Newcastle, the guest speaker Watson Porter, Editor, Farmer's Advocate, struck a key- note by declaring that one of the chief concerns of farmers should1 be the restoration of the soul to a high state of productivity. We are p]eased to quote the following from his address: "The population of the world bas increased by 200,000,000 in the last ten years in spite of its decimnation by the Second World War. A survey by FAO at the end of 1947 showed a deficit of 10 million tons of food that couid be moved from the area of sur- plus to maintain a necessary ratio in the deficit area, but the balance has not been greatly improved. The result, Mr. Porter said, was that food shortages would con- tinue in many countries until this year's harvest is available. Three- fiftbs of the food scarcitv exists in the northern hemisphere with a shortage of 412ý million tons of rice in the Orient alone. Mr. Por- ter said it was expccted tbat this iack would not be made up until sometime in the 1950's. He also said expressed doubt thaf food supply in the western world would equal requirements until wcil into the 1950's. A Fine Example Mr. Porter said the farmers of Canada bad given an example to the world in their ali-out produc- tion and aiso in their acceptance of wbeat contracts at balf the world price. That was Canadian agricuiture's pattern of assistance, and Mr. Porter said that no other countrv and no other industry bad made such a large and generous contribution in the world's need. With that compliment, Mr. Por- ter coupled a warning to farmers flot to ruin the mil of Canada by exhausting its fertility in main- taining their production Of foods. One of bis striking statements xvas that half the fertility of Can- ada's farmlands was going down the sewers of the world. And the replacement of that fertility by use of minerai and other f ertili- zers was s0 slight that it was al- most negligible. Restore Soul Inherent in evcry food price structure Mr. Porter proposed should be an item of cost cnabling the producer to put back in to the soul the amount of the(essen- tial plant foods taken from it. If such a price structure could be accomplishcd, the State should, sec to it that farma owncrs and operators should restore to the soil the fertility withdrawn from I it as the means of maintaining its productive resources. In that respect, the stexvardship of the land should be a greaterJ concern of the State, Mr. Porteri declared with a seeming implica- tion whicb was not pursued. S.S.
