f. = Farmers Must Be Ready To Meet War Demand "Dominion Minister of Agricul ture Urges Every Canadian Farmer to Make Careful Sur vey of His Projects -- Cheese and Bacon Import. ant fa Agriculture Minister. Gardiner bas urged the Canadian farmer to make a careful survey this fall of Bis farm projects in view of the de- mands that, war may make neces. eary at any time. The Minister said In a statement that "on the thoroughness of this fall's preparations will depend in a more vital way than ever before the quality, quantity and cost of Ris final product a year hence." Three Cdnsiderations The three considerations descrv- fng urgent attention, according to Mr. Gardiner, are grain crops and feed supplies, live stock, and seed requirements, 4 He recommended maintaining or fmproving the present hog produc- tion, for "bacons, hams and fats are bound to be required in great- er volume if the war continues." It was also important that farm- ers should not-change from cheese to butter production, for both the cheese and bacon production would have an important bearing on Can- ada's food effort.
