course will moment however it seems unlikely that mr gardiners objective will be attained some increase in wheat acreage seems more likely than a reduction wheat on most farms is the favorite crop and the one expected to give the best yields and under the present price structure the best returns during the war farmers were persuaded to switch to a con siderable extent to coarse grain partly because of government ad vice partly because they were in creasing their own livestock opera tion or because they feared they would not be able to dispose of all the wheat they raised xo fear for future now they have been cutting down hog production they have no fears for the coming year of over production of wheat because they have heard so much of tremendous j overseas demand even if a bumper crop in 1947 should provide more wheat than can be immediately dis posed of that will arouse no anxiety parmers have become used to and like having a reserve of grain in farm storage the price for all the wheat they can grow in 1947 is assured at a minimum basis of 135 a bushel whether marketed immed iately or held back for a year or more the west as a whole is well sup plied with subsoil moisture in areas where fall plowing is accepted prac tice farmers got well ahead with their work before freezeup on the whole they are looking forward to a good season next year all that can prevent a large acreage in wheat will be a delay of seeding operation caused by unfavorable weather in that case there might be a diversion of some land because oats and barley can be seeded later than wheat say east gets benefit resentment is growing among western farmers however because in respect of these coarse grains they are not allowed the benefit of prices prevailing in the united stales and because the surplus they produced is for the most part they say impounded at ceiling price for the benefit of eastern farmers who get free freight on feed grains from lakehead terminals one suggestion made at the agricultural conference in ottawa was that barley production could be encouraged by a bonus of 5 per acre to replace the present pay ment of 15 cents per bushel made as an advance against equalization fee payments western experts doubt if this would greatly increase barley production it might result in weedinfested land which other wise would be summerfallowed be ing seeded to barley which is often used as a cleaning crop but it would not be sufficient incentive to put wellprepared land into barley instead of into wheat a pathetic case came to court in the us last week when a father accused his 3yearold son of shoot ing his mother when the finger of crime pointed against the father clayton f smith 2gyearold former policeman had testified that his son butchie accidentally killed his mother roxanne 22 with a service revolver but said he later admitted the killing to clear the child in an open court test the sturdy little blond boy awed by the crowd failed to demonstrate that he could fire the revolver but a few minutes later passed the test in the quiet of the judges chambers circuit judge paul eger reported to the jury that the boy picked up the gun cocked it and pulled the trigger three times his father speaking almost in- audibly at times had declared that on the night of the shooting he roxanne and butchie were in a bedroom getting ready to go to town i went into the clothes closet and just as i started out 1 heard a bang he said i saw her drop and looked over where butchie was and i saw him drop the gun smith testified that during the in vestigation he was taken to the state police post where they want ed to know if i was going to let butchie go through life with the stigma of shooting his mother and they told me i was lying later he said he confessed the killing to clear his son but assert ed in a broken voice r i was lying for my little boy medical dr s s ball physician and surgeon xray office cor obrien and main phone 196 coroner for york county dr
