(Note â€" ^This is the second ocf a series oif comimen'ts by well-known authorities, written expressly for the Weekly Press of Ontario.) Will the Canadian fanner meet the challenge of the difficult years ahead ? Of that I have no dioudi>t. His sons in the armed' forcea maintaii Canadian honour in the world-.wide struggle for freedom. His daughters assist in essential industry. In the past, he has not only bought Victory Bonds but with characteristic thrift he has held them and with less labour has materially increased his product- ion of food stuffs. It is his proud claim that he has met and exceerded every request for increased produc- tion' â€" in fact, his production of food per capita is probably higher than anywhere else in the world. Canadian workers have more mon- ey today than at any time since the 1920's. That is also true of the Canadian farmers. Not only has he received more money for his increas*- ed volume of prodioction but he has spent less. In normal times, seventy per cent of hia income is immediate- ly spent on the farm business, on feed *or his livestock, fertilizer for hia fields, new machinery, repairs to buildings, wages for farm labour, conversation of soil, etc. In other words, he keerps his home, feeds his family, educates his child- ren, & provides for his old age with thirty per cent of his gross income. A farmer maintains both farm and home, and therefore thirty i>er cent of his grosa inooone is his living â€" ^the equivalent of the wages of the work- er or of the salary of the profession- al man. Bait dtiring war time, new mach- inery is not available. Building ma- terials are scarce and laibour is not obtainable to repair bams or build fences or out weeds or otherwise maintain farms m proper condition and e(fficiency. One reason why farmers have more money today is because they have been unable to spend it. Bvenually these expenses will have to be met. Sooner or later we must make up the accumulated repairs of four or five wartime years, 'fhis is equally true to our farm homes. All of this will require the expenditure of con- siderable sxwns of money. Agriculture is changing. Since the last war the radio, telephone, motor oar and farm tractor have been ac- cepted as farm necessities. There will probably be even greater changes in the years to come. Today hydro is in general use and we hope will soon be available to all, because hy- KIMBERLEY The W. A. met at the home of Mrs. Ellis Weber, when 21 adults were present. Mrs. Kirkpatrick, the president, presided. Rev. West ur- ged everyone to attend the talk and pictures of Rev, J. Crook, Friday night. Rev. J. Crook gave a very inter- estnig talk and pictures of China in- land mission. Rev. Crook went to China in 1936 to take the work of Rev. John and Betty Stam, who were murdered by Chinese communist bandits. Rev. and Mrs. Crook were married in China, where their baby was born. They returned in Octob- er, 1944, ofter doing excellent work in China. They had a very hard journey home, part way by plane, over the Himilaya out to Indiii, where they could only carry 35 lbs. of baggage for the three. Mr. Crook weighed 140 ordinarily, but could weigh 200, so he had on three suits of underwear, three suits of clothes then two shirts and an overcoat. Mr. Crook is a pleasing and interesting speaker and his talk was much ap- preciated. In China he found much sufering and want. They did not have meat nor butter, the latter being about ?300.00 a pound. Mr. F. B. Keys of Flesherton accomp- anied Rev. Crook. They attended Bible College together in Toronto. Miss Grummett and friend of Tor- onto spent the week as guests of Rev. and Mrs. Leary. Mrs. Jas. Lawrence s making her home here with Mr, and Mrs. A. Ljiwrence. SWINTON PARK We extend our deepest sympathy to the bereaved widow and family of Sergt. Whyte of Priceville. Several from here attended the funeral. Pte. Everette Martin, who is now sitationed at London, spent the week end with his parents. A num)ber in this community are suffering from bad colds and coughs at present. Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Porter are aipending a week or so with the fovmer's parents. Quiltings are the order of the day. Some are for homo use, while a Kit'iit n\any of the (luilts are for the Ri'd Cross. Wfdding l)ells are again ringing near the l)Ui'g. Mrs. Mnry Hardy spent last week wth her friend, Mrs. John Porter. A very enjoyaiblo evening was spent Friday night at the homo of Mr. unci Mrs. Chas. MeNalty when they entertained the euchre club. Six taldes were played and a large »um was renli7.e<l for tiie Sewing Circle to be use<i for the Red Cross. Our local teachers, Mrs. C. Rich- ardson of the O.D.R, and Misa. P. Porter of Boothville spent the week end at their respective homes. Mr. Walter Knox i» assisting Mr. Wm. Stewart «nt wood and Mr. Geo. Hla«"k is hauling it home to use as fuel in his sugar bush in the spring. Messr*. Howard Watsnin, Delbert Haw and Wilfre<l Black are enjoy- ing fox hunting thps<' dnys. Sorry to report that Mr. Neil is still not enjoying good health. dro makes possible water systems, refrigeration & many household con- veniences which will brighten farm homes and make living more plea- sant as well as making available new equipment for the barn and dairy. We are rapidly becoming more mechan- ized. After the war there will pro- bably be available many improved types of farm machinery. We will â€" and we will need to co-operate with our fellow farmers here and need' to make not only repairs but improvements; to make not only re- placements but to avail ourselves of every bit of labour-saving machinery which will add to our efficiency. It is impossible to foresee what market conditions will be after the war â€" ^but we do know that compe- tition will be keen and that only by the most efficient methods of pro- duction can the farmer hope to keep pace. Methods of marketing are chang- ing & you must be equipped to pro- duce quality products â€" and mar- ket them efficiently! That means both expenditures on farm machinery and adequate organization. We must organize to produce quality, to se- cure premium recognition of quality with organized farmers in other countries. I am confident that farmers will meet the challenge of post-war con- ditions. This means paying of our indelbtednesB NOW. That is good business. It also means building up reserves for future needs. Buying Victory Bonds is an excellent way of doing this because they i>ermit us to do a twofold joib; first assist in the prosecution of the war and, se- cond, accumulate the savings which will enable us to maintain our place as Canda's major industry. I am certain Canadian farmers will not forget to fill their lamps. A man who rolls enough cigarettes each evening to last him next day says his vacuum cleaner has devel- oped a tobacco cough.

The hardest paper to save, in th« opinion of the Quebec Chronicle-Tel- egraph, is the green kind with the picture of King George on it. Elephants aren't the only animals that never forget. There are those strange and miserable creatures known as pessimists.
