have gone answering a call they are missed missed not only in their homes but also in the business places which once they filled they have gone from every institution in canada but from none more than from the chartered banks there is hardly a branch office from coast to coast which is not today the poorer and the prouder for those who thus laid down their pens but every branch manager as he shook parting hands had this consolation he could say well hold your place it will be waiting for you when you come back that is a pledge so it is the part of those who remain to serve their country in such a way that the promise may be kept well hold your place- shortage started this great scarcity of butter has not had its commencement just lately but you can go back to the years when there was no butter around newmarket but the farm ers butter what is now called dairy butter writes dr j h wesley of newmarket to the era dr wesley still has a farm in whit church and enjoys the rural life continuing his article in the new market paper he said those were the days when the farmer wps really hard up he with his wife and a large family worked from four oclock in the morning till dark then did the milk ing and fed the pigs after dark those were the days when the farmer got 60 cents a bushel for ris wheat and 60 for the best clydesdale horse he could breed those were the day3 when as a tboy the son of a poor farmer living on the outskirts of the town where my father farmed a few acres in tensively and as goldsmith has rightly said forced a churlish soil for scanty bread well do i rem ember it was my duty as the oldest of a family of eight to market the few dozen eggs and a couple of rolls of beautiful butter dressed so nicely in the market basket with clean white tovels well do i re member how the old ladies of the town would come round and with their dirty old fingernails would sample that beautiful butter that had been processed win such care tjy a wonderful faithful niother un til my pride could stand it no longer in those days the farmers had bigger families and the boys and girls all worked on the farm and very often the sale of the eggs and butter on the saturday market had to buy all the weekly supplies for the home they boys helped milk the cows and make the hay while the girls heped make the butter and tend the chickens but the spirit of independence naturally was bred in the farmers sons and daughters they were sent to school and as they become educated they were not satisfied with the home on the went into professions the girls went farm with all its slavery the boys many of them married among the ibetter class of people these hoys and girls were not going to depend on the paltry price of ten cents a pound for good farmers made but- into the towns became occupied in teaching stenography while very ter and eight cents a dozen for eggs for their living and so it has been over a period of many years that farmers butter has been becoming scarcer and harder to procure it was given to the members of the county council the other day that the scarcity of butter was because the farmers were not ame to buy milking machines when the farmer is atle to buy a milking machine he does not make ibutter for 95 per cent of them use the milking mach ine to produce cream for the cream ery and milk for the dairy it is only the farmer with a few cows who ever makes butter any more and lately the dice has been loaded against the manufacture of butter on the farm by the six cents a pound bonus to butter made in the creamery i claim that if the dairy should have a six cent bonus the farmer should have twice that bonus be cause of the extra amount of work and hardship entailed in the mak ing ot the farmers butter anyone who does not appreciate the differ- enece between farmers butter and that made in the creamery misss a great treat i would advocate a 12 cent bonus on farmers butter and i would call it farmers butter for there is not enough distinction between the two kinds of butter with the present names dairy and creamery yj there wero 14433 single and married men from 18 to 45 yean of ago employed by the chartered banks at

many dairy- farmers in york county are selling their herds and replacing them with beef cattle be cause they havent the labor to do the milking w m cockburn agri cultural representative told county council near its closing session last week he said there is every indi cation the butter shortage will be come seadily worse reeve r w scott ot vaughan township secretary of the agricul ture committee said the shortage of farm labor is not due to drafting for the armed forces farm workers have been given deferments in the majority of cases where they have received draft calls he declared the only ones in the army are those who when they got their first call joined up voluntarily before they appeared before a draft board or those who felt it was their duty to serve in the armed forces all farm men are leaving the land to take higherpaying jobs in industry seventyfive per cent employed in war industries since war was de clared have farm backgrounds farms cant compete with the wages they are now earning says 750000 left farms deputy reeve c- h hooper of markham township chairman ot the agriculture committee estimated 750000 men have been taken off farms by industry and the army we thought the selective service board would keep men on the farms to continue butter and- cheese pro duction but apparently that has been whitewashed men are even now leaving to take jobs in industry mr cockburn said the sixcent subsidy on butter which became effective yesterday will not material ly boost butter production because farmers lack facilities for milking their herds lack of mechanical milking equipment and the labor shortage has forced many farmers to allow their calves to deprive their cows ot milk he said it is the only course open to them he said that while there is every indication ot the usual seasonal in crease in butter production in the near future it will he smaller than in previous years and will not have any noticeable effect on the- short age xo butter from prairies he said another reason for the shortage is because now we are getting no butter from the west a lot of it is going to alaska for road workers and army men there he said and then they are having their own production troubles too all in all the butter future is not good mules ox bread route the teeswater bakery in bruce county has bought a team of mules and will make their country de liveries by this method instead ot with motor car the longearned boys are said to be good road sters but we imagine that it would require three or four teams ot mules to cover the routes out of
