Undoubtedly," he said, "the situation in this respect will be more acute next summer than it was this year"." More men, he pointed out, have left the farms to undertake mili- tary service or to go into war indu- stries. If the situation was serious Jast summer it will, according to the best authorities, be critical next summer, The premier suggested that jt was not too soon to plan now how to meet the situation. Tr "Apparently," he said, "we must rely upon our own resources as the Dominion authorities did not help us here in Ontario last summer", Con- tinuing, Hon. Mr. Conant said that the provincial Farm Service Board did what it could and succeeded in getting 35,621 people out of the urban centres to assist the farmers. I have been told that our harvest help activity in this County was really worthwhile "and brought help to many farmers in this district who were-up 'against it and who probably would have lost some of their crops otherwise. "I have also been told by officials of the De-| partment of Agriculture," said the prime minister, that our organization in this County was one of the most effective, if not the best, in the entire Province. From our experience here I am inclined to the opinion that next summer we must decentralize our har- vest help and farm labour activities.
