The door must have been 1. t open, M tfae itonr.* have been blowing right through and there is more snow now than we have had for several years. Will someone please shut the door. and the remainder are allowing the Mtf*ftH*M**!***+l other fellow to shoulder the load. It is in the interests of every farmer to join the Federation, which is non- poltical and lend their voice to the pleas placed before the government by the Federation. If even half the u-mers of Canada lent their support, financial and otherwise, what a bargaining power the officials of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture would have when then went to the frovernment for some specific action be taken. The government will be only luks-warm to any proposi- tion placed before it if they know that only a small percentage of the farmers are members of the Feder* tion. Assist your own vocation farmers, and become a member ol the Federation of Agriculture. Forty thousand young Ontario men have failed to answer the call of the Mobilization Board and pre- sent themselves for military train- Ing the defence of Canada. On the face of it, it looks quite a staggering figure, as though many of them were attempting to escape military serv- ice. No doubt there are hundreds who have not answered the call, and , are awaiting the day when "they" , will come and take them, as they do , not intend to report until made to do so. On the other hand there are hundreds who have received their notice to report and have immediate- ly enlisted for active service and failed to report their actions. Others had already enlisted in the Air Force or the Navy and they, too, did not pay any attention to their notice to report. Still other cases re reported that notice was sent to yonng men who had been overseas with the Air Force and had made the supreme sacrifice. Imagine the feeling* of the parents when such a letter was received by them. It looks bad for Ontario to have so many men who did not report for military duty, but we don't imagine that Ontario's record is as black as painted, and some research work by the Boards would no doubt clear up the situation. * There is a shortage of beef on the Canadian markets at the present time and the trouble has been laid at the feet of the farmer for not marketing his fat cattle and reliev- ing the situation. But ihc farmer is only human and has had trouble enough the past few years without throwing away the chance of making a few extra dollars. The price ceil- ing for cattle wMl again be raised during the next few months and the farmers are holding their stock for higher prices. Why blame them? Why not place the blame where it belongs and urge the Wartime Prices and Trade Board to raise the price of beef to the farmers, and we guaran- tee that the shortage would disap- pear. There also should be a mini- mum price to assure the farmers a sufficient return on his investment when the beef goes to market with the raise in price. There has not been sufficient attention paid to the representatives of farmers when they have unrp<l certain action to be tak- en to ensure stable prices for farm produce. has been organized for years in Canada and have been thus enabled to improve the position of the laboring man in regard to con- ditions of labor in industry and wage rate*. Manufacturers have been or- ganized and they, also, have been enabled to gain concessions which otherwise would have been unobtain- able. Farmers have tried various means to improve their lot, but there was no independent organization which could speak for them alone, and most of the time they have been left sitting high and dry and holding an empty bag. Farmers now have a chance to do lomethlng for them elves in the Canadian Federation oi Agriculture, which has provincial and county organizntions, but they have to put their shoulders behind the Federation wholeheartedly. Only a few farmeni are giving their support Local and Personal I Neb "Meet up with any of them city slickers when you was in To- ronto?" Zeb "Yep, one of them dumed hotel fellers. When I told him I just blew in from Flesherton with a load of cattle he says 'Where's the rest of 'em?' Quick as a flash I says, 'Out in the yards. I ain't as particular as they are'."
