(Note â€" This is the fourth of a ser- ies of comments by well-known au- thorities, written expressly for the Weekly Press of Ontario.) Can the practical farmer make use of the marvellous discoveries of sci- ence to increase his profits and achieve a higher standard of living for himself and his children? No one will deny that our scientists have Jjeen taking giant steps for- ward. We read daily about startling new discoveries such, for example, as life saving penicillin, as well as life destroying jet propulsion. But about Agriculture? To answer the question we have only to look about us and examine the results of science r our ti'm 't jci ' r â- .;; / it) hand 1 re in > ? a^-risi } «: 'cl :! â- ( ^ays. Tt •, - *'. v.- â- :,-. ^ 1 .V ester dnt-i? /fere mad« pm- sible by the patient cross breeding of selected varieties by Dr. Saunders and the men who came after him and are continuing his work. The elec- tric current which at the turn of a switch floods the stable -.vith light On dark mornings and operates the compressor for the milking machine, the chemical fertilizer which raises the crop yield, and the sprays which protect against insect ravages and bacteria and fungus diseases are on- ly a few examples of science at work on the farm. There are bigger and better things to come. When the war ends Can- adian Agriculture will be presented with many opportunities for develop- ment and expansion, and Canadian farmers must be prepared to grasp these opportunities and make the most of them. This will only be possible if farmers have saved en- ough of their wartime earnings to provide themselves with the tools which they require. Most farms are very short of ma- j chines and equipment. While pro- duction of farm machinery has been drastically curtailed due to the war, the men who build these machines have not been idle. They have been developing new material and plann- ing better machines for peace-time agriculture. New types of labour saving equipment are being invented and tested in order to provide imp- lements which will increase produc- tion and cut down on labouy, On the experimental farms and ai the Agricultural College much work is being done on soil conservation. Tests are carri:J out in laboratories and in thi; J. i . ax order to determine the best -".: 'ilzer combinations for different crops on all types of soils and the most satisfactory and econ- omical way to applying them. Soil erosion is being studied in all parts of the country and specialists in soil conservation are working on meth- ods of preventing the wastage of good rich topsoil from our farms. Drainage is another very impor- tant question which we cannot over- 't-y. ifJot only will proper drainage riisjlt ia bigger crops, but it is also 1.) m3a'.» of bringing thousands of crts of low lying lands into produc- lion. On the other side of the picture, science has created many new mater- ials from the products of our farms and forests. The manufacture of these products will open up new mar- kets for the farmer and new wealth for Canada. Here are a few things we can look forward to: much wider use of electricity on the farm, fast- freezing units for preserving perish- able foods, improved buUding mater- ials, better machinery of all kinds, better radios and washing machines new insecticides, ani many, many more. We can only come by these things by saving and planning now. The man who had laid up readily avail- able cash in the form of Victory Bonds, War Savings Certificates, and a bank account will be able to step ahead with the times. He will be able to buy new machinery, erect new- buildings and repair the old. carry out drainage and soil conservation programmes, and also provide him- self with many new comforts in his home. By saving today we can best insure our prosperity tomorrow. PRAIRIE FRUIT fREES Homeworkcrs in the Prairie Pro- vinces are reminded by the Dominion Experimental Station at Morden. Man., that it is wise to plant a few more trees of apples, pears, and hy- brid plums at intervals of from three to five years. These fruits are only partially adapted to local climatic conditions. They yearn for more moisture and shorter milder wint- ers. When a very heavy winter does come, trees that have borne a bounti- ful crop of fruit are apt to lose much of their vigor. Young trees comnig along thriftily towards iruitfu-lness fend to survive and will serve to take the place of the aged ones. The Japs, too, figure that if they will become so tired of the war that they will accept a negotiated peace.

' \ POULTRY I I There'll be plenty to go around when everyone is on the square. Silas w^s becoming very hard of hearing and upon the advice of a friend he consulted a doctor.

I The Poultry Market outlook for 1945 is rather good as there is reasonable assurance that the same export market will be a-vtiitable for this year's crop. The prices will, therefore, be ap- proximately the s«une as last year. In 1944 we bought the large portion of our poul- try on rail grade basis, which meant more money to the producer for good qu 'try. We are still doing this and intend to even a greater extent in the future. Notice to Our Patrons If you still have some chickens or a surplus of fowl bring it in. We will buy them alive or dress them for you and buy them rail grade. Our prices are good.
