I * -PAGE TWO TEE CAXÇADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE. ONTARIO THUR~1iAV JAJt tBth 1ar.a EDITORIALS A Book Every Farmer Should Read WXe have just perused a book that has been brought te our attention and we strongly recommend that it should be read by every young farmer. It contains much helpful and practical information that wil be invaluable te him.. "Depleted soils, dwindiing crop yields and depressed incarnes are the inescapable penalties for failure te follow the basic principles cf sound soul management," declares Douglas L. Parks 'of the Kempt- ville Agricuitural Schcel in his book, "Successful Crcp Production in Eastern Canada," published recently by McClel- land & Stewart Limited, Tarante. Many farmers' know they should irn- prove their soul if they are ta imprave their crop yields but are uncertain as te how this can best be done. It was ta meet this problem that "Successful Crop Production ini Eastern Canada" wvas written. Organiz- ed for quick reference, it is designed td allow the farmer ta appiy his acquired knowledge immediately in the field, regardless of his background or experience. The subjeet cf the book is divided into seven basic chapters each cavering a par- ticular aspect of crop production. These lopics arc: Sou Management. Forage Plants, Pasture Prodyuction. Hay and Silage Production. Production of Grain Crops, Potato Production and Wéed Con- trai. Charis and tables hieip clarifv the treatrnent, but these have been kept toaa balance betwveen case of reading and maximum cf helpful information. Seventy photographs aise help te illustrate farm- ing equipment and metlieds, in the perm- anent and practical guide book. The author cf "Successful Crop Pro- duction in Eastern Canada" was born and raised on a farm near Bloomfield, Ontario. After graduatmng from the Ontario Agri- cultural Celiege, he'began working as a dairy cattie feed man for a large Mari- timne miiling company; later he *as appointed a seed and feed inspecter with the Canadian Department cf Agriculture. For the past ten years Mr. Parks has been wîth the Department cf Field Hus- bandry at Kernptviile Agriculturai School. He is aiso an Extension Specialist for the School and has addressed mnanv farm Z:,greups. Hie is well known ta the farming community for his articles in the Ottawa Farm Journal and Farmer's Maazine, for his radio talks and as a judo-e of seed at the Royal Agriculturai Winter Èair, Taranto. Mr. Parks operates his own farm eut- side Kemptville, and interprets his knowv1edge of crop. produétion in the light of his daily experlence. Aithaugh "Successful C rop Production in Eastern Canada" was primarilv intended for the producer rather than for the student it is'l the f irst Canadian book on crap production available ta students taking dipioma courses or introductory courses in agronomy. Know More About Alcoholics Anonymous Some people have queèr ideas about the effective work being done by the Alcoholics Anonymous in behaif of drunk- ards or those who imbibe ini liquor ta excess. We toodid net realize the splendid wvork this group was doing until we attend- cd anc of their weekly meetings in Oshawa. With ail due respect ta vhat societies of Ilie old sehool are doing, and have doue' for the cause cf temperance, we think the Aleoholîcs Anonymous are contributing a more practical method of helping their fellow men who are addicted te this dread and zrewing disease. That is a rather streng staternent te make. but if yen have any doubts about il and are really sincere in doing your part to help aileviate this disease, corne fa the b&nquet meeting in the Lions Centre on Wa nted ini case you don't agrée with any cf the views expressed on this éditorial page, don't be frustràted. Write us a letter! But for Pete's sake don't think you have ta write a bock on the subject. Many letters te the editor find their way te the rwaste basket because cf superfluity. We would rather see a dezeil peeple write occasional letters te the paper, t han those who think they should monapolize the space and write tee frequently. Most things written here are aimed at providing food for thought. We don't expect everyone te agree with what we have te say. If an éditorial sets people te thinking, it bas served its purpose. ,Any newspaper worth ils sait should express an opinion on subjects of local and national intere&t. .Citizens can do the same thing. We st-and ready ta provide Trouble'Ahead in There is prospect cf trouble f or Canada iu the alliance, made in the United States, cf the teamsters union with the longshoremerc and the mine and smeiter workers. The trouble spots will be the St. Lawrence Seaway prcject, Great Lakes ports and miniug centres in British Columbia and Ontario. The mutual assistance pact invoives tlic communist-dominated Mine, Mill and Smcter Workers; the International Long- shorernen's Association, which bas a lurid historv of tic-ups with criminals aloug the Newv Yor-k waterf ront; and the Internation- al Brollîerhood cf Teamstcrs, which aise lias a record cf racketeering connections. Dave Beck, hcad oi the Teamstcrs, argues that there is nothiîîg î-orally wrong lu joiniîîg farces with unions thal have a Wednesday, Jan. 25th at 6:30 p.m. This meeting is being sponsored by the Bow- inanvilie Citizens' Committee as part cf their educational temperance program. The speaker will be a member of Alcoholics Anonymnous who is now a suc- cessfui young business executive in Toron- ta whose personai experience with alcohol qualifies him ta present the informed alcohoiic's point of vicw. The Committce ex tends a special invi- tation toalal persons who are interested in the problem creatcd by alcoholie beverag- es. High School students should niake a special effort ta attend and gét first hhand knowledge on this subject. Students ;vili be admitted at a reduced price. Sec adver- tisement in this issue for further par- ticulars.: -Your Opinion space, within reason, for citizeus ta "sound off", always subjeet ta the libel1 laws of this country, cf course. Toc many people today swallow their opinions for fear of offending some un- known power, and thereby placing their financial security in jeopardy. We weuld like te sce this trend reversed. Hardly a wcek goes by but some citizen stops us on the street, expresses a very strong opinion, but then sheepishly requests that this opinion not be published under his name. Such a condition bas becomne too prevaient in this regimentcd worid of ours. Don'b be afraid cf your opinions, ta sign your namne ta your letier, if houestly thought eut and sincere. You rnay be wrong, but f ew people will con- demu you just for having an opinion. Se away Pro ject communist or racketeeriug history. "Il, dees net deter the arganization of the labor movement," he states. "We are nal accept- ing thc philosophy of any erganization simply because we make an alliance with them." Whether or net he accepts another's phiiosophy, Mr. Beck will be receiving aid from and delivering aid ta his allies. Theý desîre for power, for self-advantage, over- rides any matber of principle. Canada, uufortunately, wili not escape the cvii that may flow from the ne.zl-i!ance. The deai has been made in the United States but uufortunately because of the international aspect of unionism, il will undoubtedly be accepted withoub question by Canaclian locals. Farm Income and Wage Rates Divergence Int~el its annual report ta the Premier, teOntario Federation of Agriculture ýnoted that while other wvorkers ini the Sprovince continue ta gain higher incarnes, 1farmers are îîot sharing in that general increase.
