Page Eight THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26th, 1928 IS THE SMALL TOWN DOOMED 1THE MILK SHIPPERS' BANQU ET j OSH AW A By Dr. . Love, in Farmer's Advocate There is much discussion and del-ate nowadays on the subject of the passing of the small village. Pessimists can see, with the advent of the automobile and tractor, along with the building of hard roads, less need for the hamlets and villages. Due to these improved facilities rural lift is speeded up, while greater progress and development can be made. Others point to the establishment of rural mails, telephones, and Hydro extensions to the farms, and say all these are a helping hand to the country, but a black eye to the village. I am ready to grant that to a certain extent, these effects are apparent; but to my mind there is still a greater handicap to the small town or village than any we have mentioned. This handicap is the lack of co-operation between rural and urban life. It has been generally conceded in the past that country people entertained the feeling that townsfolk considered themselves above them. This, I believe, was a mistaken idea, for great numbers of our business men came off farms, and a number of business men have taken up farming. When a man to-day wants to purchase a farm the first thing he asks is, "How far is it from town?" He cerning the town, for he the closer to town the farm is situated the more valuable his property. On the other hand, the better the farms and farmers located about a town or village the more valuable is the property located in Busi irbau , professinn;i' leal men seek out the t lages to-day that are s the best farms and the The t and ] An interesting and enjoyable evening was spent at the Brunswick Hotel, Colborne, on Wednesday evening, Jan. ISth, 1928, at a banquet held by the shippers of whole milk to Toronto. Men and their wives and daughters from the district from, Grafton to Brighton, to the number of nearly one hundred sat down to tables laden with good tilings to eat, all nicely served, and for which the host and hostess, Lt.-Col. and Mrs. J. F. Wolfraim, were accorded due expressions of apprecia- After the supper, Mr. Clarnes E. Thorne of Brighton, President of the Northumbenand County Milk Shippers' Association, took charge of the programme. In a short address, the chairman gave some interesting figures regarding the cost of production of milk as recorded by himself. From 16 cows he shipped to Toronto 1530 cans of milk at a net profit over feed and labour of 7fic per can. This he considers inadequate when taking into account overhead costs and depreciation and loss of cows possible through accident or sickness. After .this address a pleasant time was spent in community singing. An instructive address was given by Prof. Sissons of Toronto, Secretary of the Toronto Milk Producers' Association, .who is himself a shipper, owning a farm and dairy herd in Durham County. To him much credit is due for the stabilizing of prices for milk at Toronto. He warned shippers against holding out for too high prices, because consumers could be driven to use substitutes, which might have a disastrous effect if once established.

It is surrounded bv the best farms and the best farmers in On--tario. I am sure both rural and urban life in other communities could be brought to the same high level if effect by both parties. Small towns can be made big towns or small cities through co-operation if the idea of having to get everything in the city could be dispelled. There has to be a certain point of distribution and service somewhere to supply and accommodate the rural districts. If town and country would work together artvr,ntr>gpouslv both would derive benefit. Co-operation could be brought abou more effectively if both parties ha a more thorough understanding o each other, and more reliable infoi lanks ind ! are conducting the short 1-nfor farmers at Trenton, and Mr. Wlalter H.
