These camps will remain under the supervision of the Ontario Farm Service Force, which will also recruit the workers for them, largeâ€" the government equity in the camps is held for three years, at the end of which time the property 'tiiu belong entirely to the coâ€"operâ€" ative. During the war years and up to 1946, the Dominion and Provincial governments carried the entire cost of constructing and operating farm labor camps, under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Farm Service Force. As a step towards bringing this work back to a peaceâ€"time basis, a new arrangement has been made this year, and this has brought about the necessity of forming these coâ€"operatives to hold and ?erate the farm service camps. nder the new agreement, the Doâ€" minion and Provincial Governâ€" ments will bear one third of the: cost of all construction of new farm service camps, with the cooperative of growers contributing one third. Where there are camps already in existence, a plan has %)seen worked out for the growers to make payâ€" ment of a nominal sum for taking over the property. Coâ€"operatives are being organized to take over and hold the Broperties and operate ge camps. Under the agreement, The first Farm Labor Coâ€"operaâ€" tive in the Province of Ontario was organized recently in the village of Clarkson, just west of Toronto, and has received its charter. This marks the beginning of a new movement in connection with the farm labor camps which have been an important factor in providing help for fruit and vegetable growâ€" ers during the war years and since the end of the war, and it is expectâ€" ed that some fifteen more of this type of coâ€"operative organization will be chartered this season. * NEW MOVEMENT IS INAUGURATED FOR FARM LABOR CAMPS Instead of waiting until they are forced to by lack of buying, manufacturers would be much smarter if they started NOW to slash prices and get them back to somewhere near normal again. If they don‘t do it now, they may find that they are forced to in the very near future, and that their market has become a thing of the past. If that does happen, few indeed can plead for lack of warning. Exactly the same thing happened two years after the first world war. Prices went up, qualityâ€"went down and finally the buyers rebelled. Already there are signs that there is a limit as to what the consumer will pay. The first scramble for highâ€"priced luxury and durable goods has slackened. Indications are that there is a very good likelihood of history repeating itself. The ordinary taxpayer is at the moment caught beâ€" tween high taxes and sharply rising prices, and the fact that a survey shows that 60 Canadian companies have a 30% increase in profits in 1946 over 1945, won‘t make them any happier. 60% synthetic in total production.

FOR SPRING Mr. Simpson believes that feedâ€" ing potatoes to livestock is good business for at least two reasons. First, because all culls below Canâ€" ada No. 1 grade are being used to good advanu‘fi:;t home. Second, }a higher stan of product is beâ€" ing put on the market, thus cutting down on available marketable supâ€" plies and creating further demands by plumulmnate consumers. In other w if all potato growers market only their highest quality, the price level should react accordâ€" ingly in their favor. \ cost dn stock, amounting to ten cents per day, his net cos\?oless poâ€" tatoes, would amount to $6.10 per day. Therefore he receives $10.10 per day for 600 pounds of potatoes, or an average of one and twoâ€"thirds cents a pound, according to his estiâ€" mate, which he considers most conâ€" servative. Mr. Goodin cites the experience of Hill Simpson of Bélwood as one farmer who can provide figures showing that he is actually obtainâ€" ing value of $1.25 per 75 pound bag for his cull potatoes by feedings _ With present and anticipated short supplies of cereals and millâ€" {ceds, together with excellent deâ€" mands for meat and dairy products. many farmers are realizing more than ever before the value of cull potatoes for livestock feeding, says R. E. Goodin, potato fieldman for the Ontario Department of Agriâ€" culture. PROFITABLE USE The Department of Labor has reâ€" ‘ceived requests that consideration be given to whether the sevenâ€"day rule could be reâ€"enacted as applyâ€" ing to employment in all parts of Canada, but it was pointed out that there would appear to be no barâ€" rier in the way of any province exercising its authority to again apply some such rule in regard to minimum notice of separation from employment, binding on employers and employees, if any of the proâ€" vinces should feel so disposed. Commenting upon the terminaâ€" tion of the sevenâ€"day notice rule, officers of the Department of Labor said that of all the wartime controls in the field of labor relations, this rule seemed to be the most tgener- ally acceptableâ€"in fact both emâ€" ’ploym and workers had frequently expressed satisfaction with the rulc, gomtinl out that it helped to staâ€" bilize emrloyment. particularly at a time of labor shortages, for the employer ‘had warning where it was necessary‘ to replace an emâ€" ployee, while at the same time the worker felt some security as he was due for a week‘s notice if he had to seek a new job.

Dr. Hill contacted a government official then and explained that not more than a penny should be sufâ€" ficient postage to prepay on a letâ€" ter. Dr. Hill continued, "The postâ€" ing of a letter would cost no more. And in order to exclude the possi~ bility of fraud this penny will have ’to be paid in advance by the senâ€" der. Here is my idea: the sender will purchase a piece of gummed paper marked ‘postage paid‘ togeâ€" ther with the amount, from a govâ€" ernment office. This bit of paper he will glue to his envelope. 'Ka post office will only have to cancel it and the business will have been closed." The idea was accepted and the postage stamp was born.

Thereupon she opened ithe envelope and removed a sheet of pager which was entirely blank and then she proceeded to explain the seecming mystery. This gave Dr. Hill the idea of a postage stamp. Instead of the preâ€" vious custom of asking for postage at the time the letter was received the postage should be p::gnid and then it could also be uced in price. "It is indeed a fine idea," agreed Dr. Rowland Hill, "only the State anl(li the concession holder foot the bill." A small cross in the left corner inâ€" dicates the contrary and so on.
