brisk gazette more farm machinery the farmers of canada are prob ably the only class outside of those concerned with the manufacture of munitions and supplies ships and aeroplanes who have been expected to keep up an ever increasing pro duction that they have been ex pected to do this in face of steadily increasing labor shortages is no credit to governmental planning and that there has been little effort to provide increased amounts of farm machinery is nothing to be proud of either so it is encouraging to read in a news release from ottawa the ot tawa spotlight sent out by mr mc- dougall apparently with the blessing of the government that there will be an improvement in the farm equip ment situation in 1944 as more steel is being released far the manufacture of farm machines the amount of steel available for machine manufac ture in 1043 was 33 per cent of the amount for 1940 but in 1944 it will increase to 80 per cent the amount available for repairs in 1944 will be 15c per cent of the 194041 amount compared with 165 per cent in 1943 if steel for repairs is slightly down steel for iew machines will be more than doubled the ability to buy new machinery will be welcome to the farmer from whom increased production is ex pected manufacturers of non war materia and retail merchants have been equally short of help with the farmer but they aren i expected to keep up their normal business in fact the direct opposite result ha been hoped for it is onl on farms in all the countries of war that steadily in creased production has been de manded in the fare of decreased labor and mechanical shortages with regard to the decrease in steel for repair parts an enthusiastic response is not so certain it is a wellknown fact that the cost of pe- pair parts is out o all proportion to the cost of the- machinery and this applies to other than farm machin ery an increase in the availability of repairs will certainly serve the farmer to the beat advantage i
