B. McCready) Ldn on a og > MEditor's Note: This is the second of a series of 10 articles which were published recently in the Harriston "Review". While written specially addressed to residents of Minto Township particu. larly, we believe they will be found interesting to many of the readers of 'this paper because 'the, problems of the farm folk of Minto Township are the same problems that confront rural people throughout the Pro. vince." A few weeks ago there pessed away in the person of Thomas Madigan, the first white child born in Minto Township. He was 83 years old, which means that his pavents likely came in about the year 1851 from the Owen Sound road entrance before the township was surveyed. 'The township was surveyed by Charles Rankin of Owen Sound n 1853 and in 1854 there was a _public sale of the land.s" But settlers had come in before this, =~ Wm. Reynolds and Geo. Lyons came ju. in 1851 and probably the Madigans preceded them. The Harrisons, Wilkins, Fer. gusons: and Bells came in 1853; the ides in 1854 and John Livingstone i Wm, Lemon in 1865. So Minto is getting on in years. What hosts of people have come and gone from its farms! What a hist. ory could be written of .every one of those farms! The clearing; the log shanty and barn; the road-making; the logging bees; the births and marriages and deaths; the first school and the early teachers; the new house and the barn raising; the efnigrations to the West and all the triumphs and failures, all "the Joys and sorrows that mortals experience Sell ified oon 07 wool, eggs and animals, not counting private sales, was $361,056, Figures are not given for other sales from the farms, including milk, | fruit, wood, grains; seeds, hay, potat-! oes, turnips, So one can only guess what the total income of the G87 Minto farms wou'd be in 1930. Ev. en at the depressed prices prevailing, I hazard a calculation at $1,000,000. There were 36,666 acres in crops, including 1070 acres in wheat, 1585 acres in barley, 10,767 acres in oats, 7741 in mixed grains. 13,079 in hay, clover and alfalfa, 401 acres in corn, 338 in turnips and 135 acres in mang. els and sugar beets, 8,946 acres ave, woodland and 19,106 acres stated to be "unimproved", - \ The total assessment for Minto in 1933 was $2,418,424, including $1. 726,079 for the land and $691,545 for | buildings. The. taxes raised totaled $43,662 including $11,709 for Shai and $31,843 for municipal expenses. The total receipts for 1933 was $54,- | 627 and the total expenditurg $47,046. | These figures include debenture pay- ments," etc. So the 587 farmers of Minto are in Big Business! They operate a 2% million dollar plant; have an-annual income of $1,000,000 (?) with a net annual loss (?) or gain (?) of how much? = Who knows? If Minto far. mers ave in similar plight to farmers in other parts of Ontario, as ve- ported to me in my journeyings, then 60% or more are very hard vp and looking anxiously for a way out of their difficulties. What is the Minto of tomorrow to be? I wonder what change_ihe next sixty-five years will show.

Canada's progress is based "very largely of the prosperity of its ptimary industries, including "agri- culture, forestry, mining and fish- eries, If these maintain the expan- sion gained in 1935, with 'the in- creases that are anticipated in addi- tion, the Dominion should enjoy the greatest volume 'of industry and trade ~ experienced since the depres- sion began. Much is expected from the Reciprocity -Treaty with the United States, which provides a wider outlet for many primary pro- ducts, and also from the adjust ments which are to be made in the imperial trade pacts. Canadians cer- tainly have good reason for confidence and courage in 1936. The Crop Life is just a collection of garden plots-- ribbon bits running parallel in'endless array--a strip to each in- dividual. : yon As one sows so one shall reap is a statement too true to be question- ed, too well proved by experience to be controverted. In accepting it there is one sidt of the matter often over- looked in the rush and roar of things as they are, Many times it is for- gotten that as one sows so others will reap--contemporaries today, -- descendants also on some still far off tomorrow.

Shipping paying river duties of tonnage was up by 2.1 per cent, and shipping using the wet docks by 0.8 per cent, The shipping entering the dry docks of the Authority during the twelve months was 3,133,119 tons gross, compared wth 3,145,368 tons | in the previous year. ] Potatoes For Fitness Although few people realize it, the potato is one of the most valu- able vegetables in the working man's The averagé housewife, dietary. The average housewife, however, uses 4t largely because of its cheapness. It is rich in vitamins A, B and C, and is also an excellent antiscorbu- tic. In fact, scurvy is unknown in countries where - potatoes form: a regular part of the diet. Most peo- ple imagine that they are fattening, but Dr, H. K. Archibald, who has done a considerable amount of re search work on the potato, says it may be dncluded in any diet without the slightest qualms. It is very nu- tritious, and with the addition of a little butter and salt men have lived exclusively on a diet of potatoes for 300 days, keeping in perfect health the" whole time. : i 'Safety First * Farmer (to new hand from the city)--Now, when you are "attend- ing -to these mules, I warn you not to approach them from the rear without speaking to them first, New Hand--Why is that; is it a question of etiquette on the farm?

Not so much about its people as about ts lands and its Agriculture develop- ment, T am quoting the figures. as they are given to the Census and Statistics reports prepared by the Government. According to the niap, Minto has an grea. of 113 square miles. If it were not that Normandy Township cuts out its north-east corner, = it would be a rectangle 10 5-8 x 1114 miles. Harriston is in the very centre 1of the township. The population of the Township in 1933 was 2304 and of these 1330, were over 21 yeats of.age in 1934 and en- titled to vote in Provincial elections. There are 17 one-teacher schools in the township attended probably by one-fifth of the population, namely 460 children. According to the 1931 census, there were b87 farms in the township with an average-of four persons living on each, 480 of the farms (829%) are worked by their. owners. -Only -67 farms are operated by tenants. 258 of the farms (449%) range in size be- tween 51 and 100 acres. 198 of the farms (34%) range between 101 and 200 acres, 31 farms range belween 201 and 299 acres, 11 farms' are over 300 acres, ' ' There are relatively few small farms in Minto. There are 16 rang- ing between 1 and 4 acres; 14 be. tween 5 and 10. acres and 59 between 11 and 50 acres. So 85% of the farms are larger than 61 acres.

Skilled Trades Now Offer Good Openings | For Young People T shall Opportunities for young people who contemplate careers as skilled crafts-! men are excellent, according to Wal-| ter B. Pitkin, author of "New Ca- reers for Youth." "Industry wants to know," he says in the Rotarian Magazine, "where tomorrow's skilled craftsmen ployers are beginning to open up ap- prentice training courses to help meet the most acute shortage of skilled labor this country has ever known. ™ "In Detroit, the mechanical indus- tries need 3,600 highly skilled work- ers each year, merely to replace those who drop out because of sick- ness, accident, death, promotion,| transfer, and old age. This ~ makes no allowance for the growth of in- dustries, nor for the birth of new, ones, "Employers in other industrial parts of the country are today faced with similar skilled labor shortages. Foresighted in installing new ma- chines and methods to cut costs in hard times, employers have been ex- traordinarily shortsighted in training and retrainng workers to utilize] these. Results? "In America's metal industries alone." Dr. Ptkin continues, 'at least 19,000 skilled workers are urgently wanted* in plants operating today at far less than capacity. As business improves, production will step up proportionately. If it approaches the levels of the "Twenties, there will be a shortage of 123,00 skilled workers in the metal industries. "While not quite so - acute else- where, the shortage still plagues other industries, We know 2 import- ant facts: (1) Skilled workers are wanted in all fields where new ma- chines and method§ have improved beyond the capacitits of the alder workers; and (2) in American fac- tories other than those in the metal fields, at least 6,000 new skilled ar- tisans must be found each year to replace those dropping out, if the plants are to operate about as they did in 1930. Bear in mind that this estimate does not include a single skilled worker in the clothing indus- tries, the publishing business, brew- | eries and distilleries, railroads, and marine shipping. Nor does it include such other enormous fields as re- tailing and agriculture, : "Openings will probably be most numerous in Connecticut, Massachus- etts, New York, New Jersey, Penn- sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mi- 'chigan and Wisconsin, But there will be thousands of jobs elsewhere, even in small towns and villages, many of which have already reported acute shortages."
