$\ | At the very moment of an acute shortage of farm help, hunger marchâ€" ers and other unemployed were deâ€" offices of the Department of Labour and Welfare were flooded with reâ€" quests from farmers all over the proâ€" vince for men, and the government tried, and is still trying, to fill the demand . Ableâ€"bodied men on relief who had farming experience were told by the government that they would have to accept jobs at fair remuneration. The BY THE WATCHMAN Toronto, August 14th. _ Premier Hepburn‘s sympathy and understandâ€" ing of farm problems could not be better illustrated than by his actions with regard to the placing of unemâ€" ployed men in farm jobs. Since takâ€" ing office the premier has shown a complete grasp of the difficulties and obstacles confronting the men on the land and when harvesting time came and the farmers sent up a ¢ry for farm help, he was not slow to act. Placing the Unemployed . The Part the C. N. R. Plays in Marketing Canada‘s Crops. So essential to the trade, commerce, and general welfare of Canada are the various classes of freight carried in the course of a year by Canadian National Railways that it is difficult to give pride of place to any particular one, but in their aliâ€"round importance to every section of the community, agriculâ€" tural products must rank very high. They form the backâ€"bone of the nation‘s business activities and contribute directly and in large volume to its industry and employment everywhere. During 1934 the C. N. R. carried over eight and a half million tons of agricultural produce, Leing an increase of 6.44% over 1933. In this total are included 134,700,000 bushels of wheat, 14,000,000 busheis of corn, 35,700,000 bushels of oats, and 15,500,000 bushels of barley; the aggregate of these commodities showing an increase of 4.1% when compared with the preceding year. It is interesting to note that the average haul of each ton of wheat was approximately seven hundred and fifty miles. Without the rail facilities of the C.N.R. no doubt some of this agricultural produce might still have reached a market, but it could only have done so at a much higher cost to the producer, and the quantity would necessarily have been negligible.. for practically all the crops which enter into the figures above enumerated were placed in freight cars at points where the only rail transportation obtainable was that provided by Canadian National Railways. These crops come from far scattered districts . . . in many cases from sparsely populated communities . . . but they are the result of the labours of men and women * who each year create millions and millions of dollars of new wealth for Canada. In this work the C.N.R. is their partner and helper. As is well known the crop movements of recent years have been much below normal . . . much below the standard of productivity of our prairies and agricultural areas, and much below the volume which the C. N. R. is equipped to handle. The figures quoted should, therefore, be considered in that light. The carriage of agricultural produce is, of course, only one of the activities of the C.N.R. In every branch of rail transportation it is equipped to give the best of service . . . all the year round . . under all conditions . . . economâ€" ically, courteously, and competently. Your patronage is respectfully By the time this article appears in print, more than 1,000 men will have been placed in farm jobs, since Augâ€" ust 1st. The grand total up to Augâ€" ust 8th was 924 and the placements on this one day totalled 105. Continâ€" ued cloudy weather has delayed ripâ€" ening of crops and has resulted in a temporary falling off in farm orders. The placements have been scattered all over the province and farmers are breathing sighs of relief as they see their crops safely harvested. But more men are needed and Premier Hepburn has asked the farmers to cooperate by taking inexperienced men and training them. I manding concessions from the governâ€" ment, but few showed any desire to go on the land. With characteristic energy, the premier tackled the probâ€" lem. A farmer himself, he realized the ser‘ousness of the situation, and the result to date, has been more than satisfactory, taking into considâ€" eration all the cireumstances, chief of which is that farmers require only experienced help. % During the present Summer season the C.N.R. is providing z:cial Jares and excursions between points throughout Camada. These are exceptional travel bargains. The nearest C.N.R. Agent will be glad to give full particulars.
