There will also be a children's rest room at the rear and a public lobby and waiting raam inside the front doors. The building will be completely mo- dern and will be ail heated. The plans were prepared by W. Gray- son Brown, Toronto architects, who were responsible for the plans for the,addition ta the Dr. Powers Scbool on Ward Street. Chairman A. J. Ballett announc- ed that the work would commence* at ance and the architect's speci- fications caiied for completion by October lst.

Dairy Industry By R. J. Deachman Our dairy farmers dlaim that they are losing money. that there is a steady dechine in the price af farma products. Agriculture has done very well in the last few years, deservs the highest praise for its achievements. The farm- ers dlaim that prices ai farm pro- ducts are higher in the United States. Hiere is a simple table wbich tells the story. It gives an index number showing changes in the price af farma products in the two countr'ies. Study it carefuliy. Price Level ai Farmn Praducts (Basis average af 1935-39 - 100) Canada United States 1946 177.0 195.5 1947 189.7 238.1 1948 229.6 247.8 1949 225.2 217.7 Feb. 1950 219.9 209.0 What do these figures mean? Bath start fromn a common base. The average of 1935-39 is taken as a 100, subsequent figures re- flect variations fromn that level. Prices af farm products in bath countries are still more than double the 1935-39 level. The rel- ative position is changing in favor ai the Canadian farmer. Tbe present pratest ai Canadian agri- culture is to ate-much too late for animal products. Let us look at grass farmn in- came. ln 1938, the last yèar prior ta the outbreak af World War IL., total cash treceived fram tbe sale af farma products in Canada was $664,000,000. By 1948 it had risen ta $2,480,000,000 and in 1949 stood at $2,474,000,000. How could the farmers camplain under these cir- cumstances? Their gross money income was almost four times the 1938 level - 3. times higher to be exact about it. Let us now examine tbe record o! the daîry industry. It should bning cheers from every Canadian wbo is interested in Canadian dairving. Here are the figures showing total value o! dairy pro- duction in Canada in the iast few years: 1938 ------.$220,163,000 1947 ~532,187,000 1948 ------------ -633,741,000 1949 --------------- 592,913,000 Read careiully this astounding statement: In the average of the last three years the total value of the Dairy Produets Produced in Canada exceeded the average val- ue o allahagricultural products praduced in the average of the years 1931 ta 1938 inclusive. Wbat would the leaders o! our dairy industry have said, in 1938, if someone had suggested that within the next few years the to- tal value af dairy production alone would exceed the value o! total agricultural production in the av- erage a! the years 1931-38? If tbe dairy industry is now in dan- ger, what must have been its pos- ition at that time when production was less than 401-/aio present 1ev- els. As we look at the picture it would seem that the greater the volume ai business. the bigher the total sales, the greater the money incame, the more difficuit is tbe lufe ai the farmer! Mr. Milburn, Secretary ai the Ontario Federation ai Agriculture said the other day: "We hear a lot about the law ai supply and demand. Actually sa far as the farmer is concerned it is allowed ta function only when there is na demand. As soon as there is a demand advantageaus ta the farmer the law is repealed so far as be is cancerned. That is very unfair ta the farmers". The facts answer that state- ment. Ia 1938, the year prior ta the war, total receipts fromn the sale o! farm products amounted to $664,000,000 a year. In 1949 it was almost four times as mucb, $2,474.000,000. As a representa- tive ai those who were enjoying this increased production and cer- tainly were entitled ta it Mr. Mil- burn tells us that it reflects the repeal ai the law ai supply and demand Sa far as tbe farmers are concerned! The price level af animals and animal products is now at a bigher level than any othem item except builers' sup- plies.

Canada is a heavy exporter ai farm products. Can we maintain the volume of sales if we try ta maintain a price level which limits demand. If the far- mers produce less butter it will be because they find it more pro- fitable ta produce other things. We may have an even greater measure ai prasperity under low- er pices. The law ai supply and demand stili functions. Price contrais will not long continue to functian in a free ecanamy. BROWN'S Mrs. V. Brown, Toronto, visited Mr. and Mrs. Gea.
