Canada has had to turn some rathâ€" er miraculous handsprings in the past fifteen months. Like Great Briâ€" tain, we were caught unprepared for war. Nct only were we unpreâ€" pared for the immediate job of reâ€" cruiting, training and equipping our own fighting forces.

ECANADA’S FARMERS NOT l SHARING WAR PROSPERITz ’ Those who like to anticipate the \news in Ontario should keep their ,ey.es turned cn the problems of the‘ farmer. It won‘t be so very long now before the country will be suddeniy ecnfronted by an acute crisis in the affairs of agriculture, and newspape-:sl politiciars and statesmen will be deâ€"! voting much talk and some neces-! sary action to right the situation. Revenue from the gasoline tax, esâ€" timated in the budget at $24,000,000, is likely to exceed this figure by more than $2,000,000.

Despite the war and the drop in American tourist trade this year, the people of Onâ€" tario have been spending more money! on gasoline and liquor than they did, in 1939. Che Burkuvm Arvicw P. RAMAGE.

A Weekiy Review of Developments on the Home Front. November 14th â€" 21st. Today, however, there are growing indications that Great Britain is going to ask fcr a tremendous increase in foodstulfs from Canada in the coming year. The big order thit Cabinet Minister â€" Gardinerâ€" brought back a few days ago is but one of many signs. | _ During the first few months cf the 'war. farmers asked in vain for adâ€" vice about plans they should make ’for the future. They received no definite answer from Ottawa, because Ottawa didn‘t know itself what might be required from Canadian farmers. Not until about two months ago did agriculture get definite instruction, and that turned out to be a cautionl not to spend mcney for new equip-! mentin anticipation of a boom in farm products, . a tip that two or! three years might elapse before the. farmer came into his own.
