Two wars in aur liietime, com- bined wîth the fact that Canada lies acrass one ai the strategic' trade lanes af the world, bave changed Canada irom an- agricul- turai country ta a commercial and industrial nation. Farmers Deereasnu, It won't be long until the num- ber af farmers in the nation willj decrease ta ane in five. This means that ane-iifth af Canada's population will bave ta feed the other iaur-fiths. This wîll give that anc man great importance in the national cconorny. But this one rnan in f ive must also try ta belp feed the rest af the world. In China 42,000,000 arc starving. Sorne are being driven ta eat even their own chul- dren. One-fith of the world's populatian bas neyer had enough ta eat, and one-third of the world is under-nourished. Man Must Have Bread Wbein it is realized that the ane man in five in Canada must feed the rcst ai bis nation, and many af the rernainder ai the people in the world, we see the great re- sponsibility which lies with that anc man. Food is vitaliy import- ant. Man cannat live by bread alone, but neither can he live without it. Our soil is tremendously im- portant. 1It is extrernely impor- tant ta ensure that the soil is well cared for, since it produces the food which gives strength ta the child ta grow into a strong and useful adult. The intelligence and the starnina of a child, and bis fulfilmnent as an aduit depend on the kind ai food he eats. Disease and Malnutrition Modern nutritionists agree that many af the contagiaus diseases are caused by faulty nutrition. They dlaim that there is only anc real disease, and that is mal- nutrition. It bas been said that an army marches on its stornach. Many a battie bas been won or bust through goad or bad feeding priar ta the engagement. It bas been shown that a baby's nerves and temper can be kept under con- trol by intelligent feeding. The bread-winner docs betterl mental and physical work aiter1 eating a nourishing meal in an atmospbere ai peace.i Undernourishmcnt la Canada 1 It is paradaxical that in spite 1 of the fact that we live in the garden ai the world there lu wide- spread undernourishment in Can- ada. There is undernourishrnent f right bere in Bowrnanville. This t isn't because we are taa poar ta r buy adequate food. We don't NJ know the right kinds af the cor-d rect methods af preparation. c We are continually inforrndcd that there are food surpluses i Canada. This li flot true. Wbile North America bas plenty, the d rest of the world starves. The v problem lu anc nat 50 much ai t] surplus as of faulty distribution, t Until the world learns the way ai n hrist there will always be poor il istribution. g Surplus Not Large M It may surprise you ta know hat if everyone in Canada ateN re more egg per day there ' vould no longer be an egg sur- 01 lus. If one paund more cheese ti cere caten per persan per wcck re hcre would be no surplus ai C leese. Canadians would be bet- il] er nourished, but they would ci 50o be aware af the fact that aur ood supply is not inexhaustible. Our trouble lu that wc bave tt ýen taking food for granted. We at tch inta a good meal without vi inking that many folk arc fa Larving; without realizing what mi ind ai food it is. fa Old Custom Has Value le Our fathers used ta follaw the Iin od custom ai asking blessing fore the meal. This rerninded w] rn that bis food was not sm-jdo ing that should be taken wI-jon t thought, but something which ai as been given in abundance ta de few favored people.-i Limited (Dept. 16E) Tweed, Col. Orme Barr.tt Presented With t] 1< CANADA PRODUCES We take our food, our freedoni iand our wives for granted. Winl ewe always have food i abund- 3ance? Will we aiways have freedom? "In my opinion," clained Mr. Young, "the greatest dangeé, fac- ing the warid today is the hungry man." He is the greatest threat ta peace and order and good government. Ail ideals go when the stomach is empty. Hunger la Great Danger The Communists don't need ta drap atom bombs an North Amn- erica. Tbey just need ta wait un- tii hunger strikes. Hunger wiil be the undermining factor amang US. Around the turn af the i9th Century there lived an eccramist and clergyman by the name of Malthus. He remarked that the population af the worid is in- creasing by ieaps and bounds, but that the world's food lu flot in- creasing, He 'forecast starvation and plagues. New Worid Deiayed Hunger His prediction would bave corne true carlier except for the fact that the new world was at that time just beginning ta be developed. The exploitation ai the new world paured the rnuch- needed supplies ai food into Eur- ope. But North America is no langer in a position ta send supplies in such quantity ta Europe. The local population is growing rapid- ly, and the fertile sail in aur continent is on the wane. There is fia more farming land avail' able in -North Arnerica. What rernaining free land there is can- not support those who try ta farm Govcrnment decides that, whc- Reverence Due the Soil What can Canadians do ta help preserve Canadian wealth? Tbey must be soul consciaus. They must have due reverence for their sacred inheritance. The city woman, who buys most af ber food, must think of the bard labar af the farmer wben she campiains * about the prices. When eggs went dawn ta 32c per dozen.nat long aga the bausewiie rejoiced. But she was short- sighted. For wbenever the cast af farmn praduce goes dawn un- duly the health of the natioinal economy suffers. Poor Farm Prîces Mean Recession Low farm prices point ta un- emplayment and recession. There is tao much tallc afloat about the possibility of a depression. The best way ta start a depression is ta talk- about it. But we cannat on the ather hand keep aur heads in the sand while certain trends lead ta depression. No amaunt af silence will prevent it if we don't husband aur resources. The farmer bas ta make a liv- ing. He has the right ta be ade- quateiy paid for bis labor. Let us back up the farmer ta ensure that Canada will remain prosper- ous. There are numerous examples in bistory ta show that where the farmer has been ignored, civili- zations have crumbled and have leit behind themn nothing but howling deserts. Deserts are creeping across Canada due ta unwise farming methods. We Must Ail Care For Sal To stop the marcb towards star- vation due ta soul depletion we must all work ta ensure the pres- ervation of aur rnost valuable asset, the soul.

That la what is meant by floor prices. But such floors, without the huge supporting demands of war, are, likeiy ta sag. Then there are two alternatives, either the public will not buy until prices have reached a level they think reasonable. ôr government must step in and purchase, thus creating an artificial scarcity that may make the bigher prîces seern inevitable. That palicy bas been thorough- ly tried in the United States and the gavernment there is naw O business with fia possibility ai-o Profit. At the tume af writing these are dome items in the gov- ernrnent's purchases: 3.7 million bales of cotton, 162 million ibu- shels af wheat, 76 million bushels af potatoes. 73 million pounds ai dried eggs, 169 million paunds ai dried milk, an unstated number af millions af paunds of butter and 30 million paunds af canned meat. None ai these commodities did the gavernment want. Ail problem of storage, and, what vas more significant, t rem en d ou a t loses.

A simiiar effort on the part of aur government would not oniy, shut out xnany natural purchaseru. but at the same time would load these purchasers wlth a resulting debt. It is rather bard to belleve that a policy that Is sa costly and so 'wasteful is a reasonable sub- stitute for a system that estab- lishes a price on the ibasis of available goods priced within the reach of the greatest nuniber L people.

The Babylonians had real estate rnaps 4,200 years ai them represented a seriaus ago. (by Joseph Lister Rutledgc) The scemingly inevitable resuit ai trying ta keep everybody pros- perous by interiering with the efficient and ance-papular law ai supply and demand is ta set up the governiment in a highly un- Profitable business. This means that every anc af us must have saine part in this discouraging adventure. The idea begins with wanting prices ta remain high aiter the cause that induccd the high price has largely disappeared. The war brought an enormaus demand for farmn products. It also provided new purchasers who could not, and did not, baggle over prices. Now, and quite naturally, those who received the high prices do not want ta take less. That is very human and understandable but it involves a poiicy that, in ail probability, will be vastly more costly ta us than any natural clecline in prices could be. You can argue, ai course, that the cost will be marc c'venly born. That is truc. Everyone will share the lous, thaugh nat everyone benefit- ed. p Beneath Your Bonnet ... Canadian Sal Depleted It is appalling ta realize that although Canada bas been settled for only 100 years the soul is ter- ribly worn. Methods of farming have improved, and varieties of hîgh yield crops have increased. But in spite of this the total pro- duction has stayed the sarne. For improved methods have only kept pace with the decay of the land. This is threatening national star- vation in the future. It is the job of ail Canadians ta think ser- iausly about the destruction af the soul. The futum, of the nation depends an the soil. Every bite we eat cames from, the sou. Ail the professions, the trades, the businesses ultimately depend an what cornes fromn the soul. Sal Is Not Dirt Many of us scorniully refer ta the soil as dirt. When the snaw uncovers the sal, and the water leaves the mud, pick up a hand- ful of soul. When yau do, you will pick up a handful of Jife. Every handiul of sail is somethîng alive. Soil is God's wanderful creation. Do yau knaw haw sal was aorred? A bandiul af lichen at- ached itself ta a rock. Ta gain nourishment it broke up the rock vith the aid af the sun. Upon its [eath it prepared a small amount of material in which other forms of plant lufe cauld graw. Sal Gives Life Larger and larger patches af lecarnpased rock and decayed vegetable matter forrned until tere was enough of the matter ao permit the growth of the mighty tree. Ail vegetatian when Ireturns in death ta the soul ,ives new lufe ta that elernent which gives us life. The soul is Gad's greatest gift. *ever loak again on the good sail 'ithaut reverence. Life goae s )n forever through the sou. Na- hing ever fully dies, since decay ,sults in new life. And since he soul is alive, like other liv- ng things it must be loved and ,red for. Threat af Eroslon Erosion is anc ai the greatest hreats ta the continuance ai ur sal. Nature always pro- des a caver for the soul in the Drm ai grasses or trees. Whcn ian cames along be takes it off )r the purpase ai farming and mvcs the soul bare ta the erod- ig farces af the wind and water. Over-grazing is another way in. rich the caver is stripped. We o not realize that the descrt lu ly six inches below the surface Ethe graund. And when that esert takes aver wc arc bust. Sal is the grcatcst teacher ai ie law-"What you get out of rnething you must put back at it.'t It is truc that Canada as great resources. But these sources arc over-estirnated and rer-emphasizcd.
