It seemed a far cry on Monday

in harvesting tobacco and clover.

the Fraser Valley typifies, say “no,

them as “lying democracies.” Be-

(Dominions

Farm Section...Local and Provincial Developments

As Great

Powers

(The Monitor, Boston)

The difficulty of finding a home
for Germany's refugees and those
now to be expelled from Italy has
again brought up the question of
the vast unpeopled spaces of the
British Empire. Canada, surely, has
the natural resources as well'as the
territory to accommodate a popula-
tion greater even than that of Brit-
ain. So has Australia. Even New
Zealand might well have a popula-
tion at east ten times what it is
mow. In South Africa, the black
inhabitants have special claims, but
there is room for a great increase
in the white population.

The Dominions are destined to as-
sume the position of major powers
with populations more nearly pro-
portionate to their territorial size.
But such an expansion in the far
parts of the British Empire can-
not occur so long as the Dominions
depend mainly on pastoral and ag-
ricultural industries. They must also
develop great manufacturing indust-
ries of their own. A member of
the British Government, who was
till recently Secretary of State for
the Dominions, Mr. Malcom Mac-
Donald, is well aware of this. He
sees the Dominions as major powers
taking their part alongside Britain
in the affairs of the world.

Recéntly he made a speech to the
Manchester Chamber of Commerce
i which he said it was inevitable
and desirable that there should be
growing industrial as well as agri-
cultural activity in the Dominions;
and he pointed out that the great
increase of wealth and consuming
(power that would follow should,
with co-operation, be to the ad-
vantage of the thome country as
well as the Dominions. British in-
dustrialists should expect and en-
courage industrial development over-
seas, and concentrate on exporting
those articles which Britain could
most advantageously make, leaving
the Dominions to make the rest for
themselves. He urged them to lose
no time in getting together with in-
dustrialists overseas to work out

fits use when dictators run amuck.

Necessary to Reduce
Every Cost Factor
In Crop Production

Prices of farm produce are being
more and more controlled by
world demand with keen competi-
tion tending towards lower prices.
so that jt is more necessary than
ever to reduce every factor in the
cost of producing farm crops to
the lowest possible point, states H.

D. Mitchell, Field Husbandry Divi-
sion, Central Experimental Farm,
Ottawa, ,

Among the most effective means
of attaining this end are: (1) Pro-
duction of heavier yields per acre
through the use of the best qua’-
ity seed of the varieties best suited
to the locality, thorough cultivation
and drainage, suitable rotations, and
continuous control of weeds, insects,
and plant diseases. Increased yields

mean a reduced cost per bushel
or ton of crop with only a slight
increase in the cost of production
per acre, (2) tne use of modern,
labour-saving farm equipment res-
ults in lower costs because of the
saving in manual and horse labor.
It -also means the performance of
more work per day, and at the
proper time. (8) increased size of
farm or land area cultivated, is an
other important means. Within cer-
t limits, the overhead in build-
i and equipment does not vary
greatly on average sized farms.
Therefore, an incre in the culti-

vated to the capacity of the

isting farm organizaition will result

ac

ge

a reduced cost of production per
acre,

The farming system adopted
should include only crops which
conflict the least with each other
in labour requirements, yet should
be sufficiently diversified to utilize
ecbnomically all the manual and
horse labor on the farm.

GERMAN FARMERS MUST
GIVE HALF THEIR
CROP TO HITLER

The German farmer is not alpow-
ed to hoard wealth, a bare living
is all that is vouchsafed him. The
feeding of oat and wheat grain to
livestock is verboten, and half must
ibe turned over to a government
agency at a price fixed according
to locality and the needs of the
consuming centre. Rye, and to a
limited extent, barley, may be used
for feed on the farm. The import
of concentrates is restricted, and
few avail themselves
of these supplementary feeds: Con-
sequently the feed problem is acute,
and the circumstances account for
the scarcity of fats in the form of
butter, etc. No good grain
iis available for poultry feed this
year, and a ground meal of infer-
ior quality has had to be substituted
