terzondelat mail posofice depi orraua printed and issued every thursday at stouffvile ont in canada 250 elsewhere 350 c h nolan editor jas thomas sports asst a v nolan son publishers more like her mother every day notes and comments conservation common to all canada is the current problem of conservation which is not to say that it follows the same pattern because while the qld settled sections of the east are struggling to replace thoughtless waste of natural resources which followed the cutting of the forests and settling the land the outposts of today are trying not to commit the offences and to plan ahead for the generations who will have to live when the wealth of today has been harvested and spent conservation is sometimes described as an inade quate term for the many activities which it embraces but it is not so far out at that in the early days of canada our grandmothers made a special preserve called a conserve it gathered the riches of the harvest of fruits tied it all up together and added a sufficient quantity of sugar to make sure that it would keep against the cold days of winter when fresh fruit was not available she used it up during the winter but in her thrifty habits as housewife and gardener she still had year after year the fruits from the well tended bushes from which to make her conserve the preservation of these natural resources is the first duty of those who are organized these days under the banner of conservation they will make good farm fine forests beautiful parks which will be used and still preserved for generations to come farmers income is higher net income of canadian farmers generally was 13 less last year than in 1952 and 23 less than the record total in 1951 the decline is disappointing but not too signifi cant against the background of the years net farm income has risen almost without interruption from 1936 there were setbacks in only three years of 15 of course there has been a concurrent rise in the cost of most things that farmers have to buy but there is another factor seldom noted net farm in come is divided among progressively fewer operators compared with 732832 occupied farms in 1941 there were 623091 at the 1951 census and that trend has continued ratio of farm population 40 at the beginning of the century is about 20 now the 1951 census showed 997000 persons employed in agricul ture compared with 1210000 in 1941 last years net income approximated 2760 per farm or about si 600 per person the 1941 net income was 615 per farm prof w b baker chairman of a commission looking at agriculture in saskatchewan gives the pic ture there occupied farms numbered 142000 in 1936 now total 100000 but cultivated acreage has doubled since 1911 it has taken only 25 years to move from a horse economy to a tractor economy on the farms of saskatchewan a similar report comes from w k kiddell agricultural representative in middlesex on tario the number of farms in that county has dropped he estimates from 7000 to 5700 in 15 years because effective use of machinery demands larger farms not to rely upon statistics it is convenient to quote the boss farmer of canada rt hon james g gardiner told the house of commons the other day agriculture is in better condition today throughout the dominion than it has been at any other period in my experience and i do not mean only my ex perience in the government but i mean as well my experience in farming the telegram barbershop shaves how often does one see a man being shaved in a barber shop these days it is so unusual as to be almost rare the exceptions are a few oldtimers who always have made it a practice of getting shaved by a barber or a few others who have slept late and have rushed out from the office to make up for the morn ings neglect only a few decades ago many business and pro fessional men made a habit of a daily shave by a barber they would have their own particular time for slipping out of the store or office to the barber shop each would have his favorite barber indeed in some barber shops there were regular shaving mugs for regular customers each with his own initials on it there was something restful about being shaved by a good barber though a poor barber who scraped and hacked was an annoyance it was soothing to be plied with hot towels to feel the strong sure fingers of the barber to have the whiskers cut crisply by a sharp razor of good steel there are several reasons for the decline in barbershop shaving the advent of safety and electric razors has been a boon to those timid about shaving themselves with an oldfashioned straightblade modern bathrooms with hot and cold running water are a convenience to men who shave themselves the tempo of modern business and professional life makes it more difficult to
