"We cannot be rugged indIvid- ualists in the face of an organized world," he said. The speaker stressed the necessity of support-, ing the Federation o! Agriculture on a county, provincial and national level. Intending to offer further in- sight into the organization of the Federation, the speaker concern- ed himself with international as well a~s national, provincial and WHEN YOU BUY ..

He censurec those people who would run dowr a farm to "stick moniey in a bank,"~ and informed his aud- ience that "we are still trying to finance the Federation the way we did when a dollar was wortlh a dollar and not 50 cehnts." If the Federation of Agriculture is to flourish and do its job, every farmer has to pay. "Costs are clinibing everywhere," he said.

Farmers Are Capitalists Farming is a way of life, an industry and in a sense, ail farm- ers are capitalists, according 'to Mr. Banister. Today, however, farmers are faced with the Major task o! fighting against organized labour. "Labour bas nothing to offer except two hands and a skiii,"..the speaker said, "'while we have that Plus anywhere from $10,000 to $250,000 invested, be- sides a skill that is greater than that of the average artisan's - a skiii that bas become inherent." The speaker stressed the need for immediate organîzation. -If we don't organize, and get an organization that wili stick," lie said. "xve're going to have to take what the other feilow xvants to give us for our produce." He said the prosperity o! the worid hçis depended upon agriculture for thousands of years and wiii continue to do so in future. 2 High Prices Dangerous The speaker said high prices are dangerous, they lead some to believe that organization is not essential. In Mr. Banister's opin- ion, it is. Labour unions have an unlimited supply o! money, he said, suggesting that capital is a jor factor in opposing power- Embarking upon a general out- line o! the xvorld set-up in rela- tion to agriculture, Mr. Banister told Pot Luck Supper-goers that ail nations having an agricultural organization o! any kind belong to the International Federation o! Agriculture. Dr. H. H. Han- nain, chie! o! the Canadian Fed- eration o! Agriculture also holds the honour o! being president o! the International Fede r a t i o n wbich is scheduled to meet in Mexico City this year. "I.F.A. bas tremendous possibil- ities," Mr. Banister said, "it bas a great potential fo peace." People o! the xvorld cannot get aiong witbout food. A iack in the dis- tribution o! food can wreak havoc in -the. world, according to the speaker, who said, "It's not hard to indoctrinate communism into a hungry man." He said when a man is hungry lie xil grasp at anything. similar to a drowning swimmer clutching at a straw. Farmers Love Peace Farmers are peace ioving people. They ask only ta do their job which is to produce food for the world. A farmer is interested in growing tbings, according to the speaker, and bas bis beart in bis work. Mr. Banister advanced the opinion that "the production o! food is the most important thing in the world." In the Dominion sphere. Mr. Banister said, "a few years ago the Federation was a hole in the wall in Ottawa." Tbrough the admirable work o! Dr. Hannam, however, agriculture is being re- cogriized andl it is being consulted more and more by the Federal Government on agricultural inat- ters. This, in itself, shows that ifarmers pull some weight and in a sense means "that we are ar- riving," to quote Mr. Banister. Faces Are Slapped In the provincial field, farmers are concerned xith legisiation brougbt down by the Provincial House. "Once again we think we are getting some place," the speaker said, "until xve get slap- ped in the face. I don't mean maybe," lie added. Expressing a personal opinion, Mr. Banister said he xvas not al in favour o! the Federation's at- titude toward poiitics. He be- iieved the farm organization ieaned over backwards in order ta, keep . polities pure. He ex- pressed the opinion that farmers shouid "stay clear o! party pal- ities" withbold their support from any one party, but make it clear Durham Conty Shorthorn Sale Hils Ail-lime Record, Averaging $365 With 2-Year-Old Heifer Dringing $650 Durham County Shorthorn As- sociation staged the 3th annuai sale of its history at Biackstock on March 26. It proved to be the most successful of the 30 sales, ail records being broken as to highest individual and average prices. The offerings xvere widely distributed from Scots- town, Que., on the east to St. Thomas, Ont., on the west and north to Beaverton and Sutton West. to ail that "if they do not work for us, we xviilot work for them at the next election." The speaker admitted that such action may reduce the farmers to a pressure group, but countered wvith the statement. "the farmer lias always been easy picking. A great deai of mnoney hias been made at their expense." W hat of the Future Thinking of the future, Mr, Banister said, "Our job is be- coming more and more compli- cated ail the time." He said the men who first tilled the soul were in a good position as far as the fertility of land was concerned, but the generations that followed have ruined 1,000,000 acres of land south of a line drawn from Owen Sound to Ottawa. In the words of the speaker, "Conservation means that we must conserve xvhat is lef t us in the fertiiity of the soil."*He warned that farmers must stop consider- ing it a "one-way bank account." In Mr. Banister's opinion, the land' has been bled white and must be brought back to its production peak. Canadian Bred Oats Linked With Naval Traditions Ajax and Exeter, two oat var- ieties developed by J. N. Welsh at the Deit. of Agricuiture's Laboratory of Cereal Breeding at Winnipeg, may neyer become as famous as their namesakes the two Royal Navy cruisers whîch played such a gallant part in the sinking of the German pocket battleship Graf Spee during the Battie of the River Plate in 1939, but they are playing their part in meeting varied agriculturai conditions from the Atlantic to the Pacifie, said cereai officiais at Ottawa. Narned by Mr. Weish to com- memorate a naval engagement that caught the imagination of the world ear]y in World War 1, both the Ajax and the Exeter are the outeome o! many years of careful research work in oat breeding. Born at Old Chelsea, P.Q., near Ottawa, Mr. Welsh hoids agricuitural degrees from both Macdonald Coilege and the University of Alberta. He said that the Victory oat (a standard variety in Canada for many years) was used as one parent in ttue breeding of both Ajax and the Exeter, which altogether adds up to quite a naval tradition. Another Wininipeg-bred oat, the Achilies, released for testing un- der a number about the same time as the AjaxIand Exeter. was sent to New Zealand for testing in 1937. The Achilles subse- quentiy made such a name for it- self "Down Under," that it tooj was later given a name honoured in the annals of the Royal Navy. Ajca s a eaarl natghgh Officis tawa st aethat yieiding oat and has a wide adapt- ability to varying Canadian con- ditions. Federation Holds Pot Luck Supper Cecil V. Carveth of Newcastle supplemented the entertainment at the Pot Luck Supper of the Federation of Agriculture held in Blackstock Community Hall on Thursday evening, with two films which proved interesting and ed- ucational. Howard Foley also humorous poems. The first picture screenad by Mr. Carveth concerned itself with water safety and suggested that confidence in the water was of primary importance. If the breath is held, it is impossible for a swimmer to sink beiow the surface o! the water. Fioating and treading water are two other ways of ensuring that a swim- mer does flot sink. The second picture depicted the life of a Red Cross nurse in the Haliburton region where there are very few dctors. The camera took the audience on a journey through the country ana showed the blue uniformed nurse in action both in winter and sun-- mer. Whiie ber life is rugged and transportation difficuit, the Red Cross nurse is looked upon as an angel of mercy in the com- munity and on more than one oc- casion bas been the difference be- tween life and death. M. H. Stapies, president of the Durham Federation o! Agricul- ture, introduced Howard Foley. He recited a French-Canadian poem about a basebali game. Considerable discussion was heid relative to ways and means of adding capital to the Federa- tion, but no definite plan was arrived at. Reeve Bruce Heaslip o! Cartwright welcomed the guests. He also advanced certain ideas relative to Federation ac- tivity in Cartwright and profer- red a tentative invitation to Fed- eration members to bold their annual picnic in bis township. The matter was flot decided upon and it is ibeiieved considerable discussior wiil be forthcoming.

ONTAILPO dtx%,£M PAGE ELEVEN Il In this day and age ,one must hunt long and bard to' find any real bargains. Hit by soaring prices and costs farmers do not need ta be told that. Yet for farmers in every part' o! Canada wbo are planning ta s0W clovers or any other a! the leguminous crops this spring, a truly amazing bargain is avail- able. For an expenditure o! ap-j can put the equivalent of seven and a bai! tons o! manure on their land which, in turn, is equal to an application o! ox'er a ton of good commercial fertilizer to the acre. And the cost o! application or: spreading o! this fertility is prac- ticalIy null. The secret lies in Inoculating the seed witb the special bacteri-i -al cultures noxv available. These inoculants corne in various forms, cost about a cent for every pound o! clover seed treated, and are mixed easily and witbout fus& be- fore the seed is sown. Tbere is one type for clovers and alfalfa, another for peas, and still others for the rest o! the legume crops wbich are commercially groxvn in Canada. These inoculants add certain beneficial bacteria to the seed and encourage the plants to take free nitrogen out o! the air. thus enricbing the soul and praducing bigger and mueh more nutritiaus crops high .in protein. The use of inoculants is especially advis- able where these legume crops havé, nat been grawn immedi-I ately before or where it bas bee n lifficuit ta get a gaad catch. But bhey cost so littie and their bene- it is so great tbat agricultural authorities in bath Canada and the United States now recam- mend that they be used whenever a legume crop is sawn.
