A wedding was the climax of the showing and the simple and lovely costumes of the bride and her attend­ ants were charming examples of beauty and good taste in a wartime wedding. The. bride wore a lovely floor-length gown of creamy satin, made with shirred top and carried a cascade of gardenias and satin rib­ bons. Her headdress was a tiny cor­ onet of the same flowers and tulle. The two attendants were charming in similar frocks of pastel pink and turquoise sheer and carried nosegays of sweet peas and snapdragon.

The band as they paraded were headed by the Drum Majorette, who seemed to enjoy the distinction of heading such an outstanding musical combination. The visit of the band to Ingersoll also had an added in­ terest locally because of the fact that Piper Les Hutchison, a member of the band, is a graduate of the Ingersoll Pipe Band and a former pupil of Pipe Major Alex. Collins.

Agricultural Minister T. L. Ken­ nedy is confident that the artificial insemination program will improve and increase our livestock as it has other countries using similiar pro­ grams. By raising the quality and the number of calves it is expected to increase milk production per cow far above the present figure. Col. Kennedy said in estimating that with every 1,000-pound increase in milk production of cows an additional rev­ enue of 25 millions was obtained. Col. Kennedy said the program of artificial insemination will be started in Leeds County where farm organ­ izations have offered to pay half the cost. Eventually the province will set up schools where the technique of treating cows can be taught. He pointed out that in Wisconsin artificial insemination has had re­ markably good result* A higher per­ centage of calves was obtained by this method than the natural breed­ ing while the danger of contagious abortion was eliminated. "In Wisconsin they obtain as many as 500 calves from one bull,” stated Col. Kennedy. "In Ontario we get between 80 to'100.” Col. Kennedy said the newly de­ veloped pasturage program is de­ signed to make pasture lands sus­ tain twice the present number of cows? He pointed out thaF between' 15 and 30 cows are kept now on the average pasture and with proper fertilizer and seed methods this number could be doubled.

H u r o n &E r i e MORTGAGE CORPORATION WindsorChatham THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 11. 1944 CANADIAN FRIGATES FOR NAVY Outstanding achievement in a field where Canadian skill and ingenuity have brought wartime miracles has been the construct­ ion of Frigates in Canadian shipyards. The Frigate is one hundred feet longer than the corvette, is faster and more strongly engined, carries heavier armament. The average cost is nearly $1,500,000. Deliveries for 1944 are scheduled at a rate close to one per week, with 44 to be delivered. Above are frigates at fitting dock. ity that drives them untiringly on, are always available. They need nothing but the opportunity and ' that means the money that makes research possible, money to make such men independant, so that all their thought may be turned to their one love. It means money collected as it now is but used to endow uni­ versities or other research institu­ tions, money supplied by the people to forward * the studies of those, whose new discoveries are to bene­ fit the people. Make it worth the while of every young person with the native gen­ ius of the discoverer to continue the work in which he longs to be immer­ sed and discoveries will be made just as rapidly in peace as in war. It’s discoveries don’t exonerate war, don’t make it one whit less an evil thing; it is wrong thinking that pre­ tends that the benefits that have come out of the war are the result of war. They are the result of a greater, more pressing need and a correspondingly greater demand that the need be met. Education in all tu ramifications should be State wide. It should take in every person in the State, giving to each aO he can absorb, irrespect­ ive of his ability to pay for it. Only so is the State going to develop for its own use all the genius within its boundaries and bring to rich matur­ ity the potential scholars, scientists, artists and thinkers that are needed to help formulate a brave new world.

On behalf of the Government, Hon. J. L. Ralston, Minister of National Defence has replied that the principal feature of the “Sparkman Act”, was its provision of moratoria on insur- • ance premiums, but, after a complete, study had been made, the best infor­ mation available has shown that the lapses of policies of men in Canada's armed forces have been less propor­ tionally for the men in the services than they have been for the civilian population. Indeed, there had been very’ little request for such legisla-' tion. Moreover, policies in the United 1 States . were differenct from those in Canada in certain respects. All in all, there was doubt if the principlesSlowly but surely, there has de- • of the "Sparkman Act” of the United veloped a recognition along Parlia- States would operate well in Canada help the veterans to the fullest ex­ tent, even adding that more provis­ ions should be made to assist these men from the armed services, such as onus of proof of disability being put upon the Government, clothing al­ lowances increased, etc. However, the Government’s reply stressed that the work of the members of the Cabinet had been increased greatly by the war and that there would be a reorganization of the Cabinet as well as a reduction in its number of departments when peace will again prevail, insinuating that the new de­ partment would be entrusted to a member of the present Cabinet and that the existence of th Department of National War Services would not be for a very long time now.

FORESIGHT IN PLANNING The Federal Government has been considering deeply problems of air­ craft production which will follow this war. This foresight in planning for peactime has been disclosed in Ottawa by the report that a cargo plane, “Norseman,” has been in pro­ duction in Canada during the past two years, that n plane most likely to succeed in the next five years, ‘Douglas D.C. 4", has been manufac­ tured in this country, that Canada was .very interested in a trans-Atlan­ tic type of plane, and that this country would be in an enviable pos*. ition in regard to production of jet propulsion engines.

This bj one way in which Canadian Pacific is planning to meet the challenge of peace—while continuing to do a vital war job at home and abroad. • THE WORLD’S GREATEST TRAVEL SYSTEM V CANADIAN PA C IFIC PRO DUCT OF FREE ENTERPRISE LOYALLY AND EFFICIENTLY serving Canada for 63 years, the Canadian Pacific exemplifies the initiative and resource of free Canadian enterprise. The Dominion’s first transcontinental railway, it was pushed to completion by a group of farseeing citizens who backed their faith in Canada's future with their personal fortunes. Thus, Canadian Pacific has played a major role in the development of the Dominion. . THE WARTIME ACTIVITIES of Canadian" Pacific have been indispensable to Canada's ■ contribution to victory. Rail freight traffic has doubled and passenger traffic has increased threefold comparer! with peacetime. Canadian Pacific's ocean fleets on the Atlantic and the Pacific have been at the service of the United Nations since the outbreak of the war. From Canadian Pacific shops have come tanks, guns and other munitions of war to a total value of $125,000,000. Today approx­ imately 18,000 Canadian Pacific employees are serving in the Armed Forces.

Que­ bec, however, stands out as the ex­ ception to the general trend, and here again let us remember Quebec is one of the provinces which has not shown increase in larger acreages on average farms. That province in 1901, showed 90 per cent of the farms were owner-operated and that number grew to 91 per cent in 1941. In 1941 there were 650,000 full­ owners of farms in Canada but 48 per cent of them had mortgages or agreements encumbering. In Saskat­ chewan that percentage was greater (with liquidation being quite heavy the last couple of years.) Albert* and Manitoba ranked ngxt highest to Saskatchewan in that respect, On­ tario stood about half way. Nova Scotia reported the least farm in- sdar x x xxx It sounds grim to hear that not counting short term and intermed­ iate loan* In 1941 the Canadian farmers reported debts to the tune of *629,200,000, an average of 12,372 a farm. But contrast that with latest official estimates that the agricultural income in Canada for 1943 hit an all-time high of $1,396,000,000, almost twice as much aa in 1939 and new light is thrown on the overall picture.

Some of them will have to be qualified in the light of increased well-being of farmers particularly since 1942, in the better prices all round for the fruits of his efforts, but the statistics come as a result of the census of 1941. The basic prin­ ciple of Dominion allways been of ownership of land should be vested in the person who operates it.

Red No. 1 Edge Gra Soup Mix 12 oz.........2 for 19c One compelling item caught my attention, and that was that in 1871 eight out of ten people lived on farms in small communities in fann­ ing districts, but today that figure is only five out of ten. Six decades ago over half the people of this Canada of ours were needed to help produce the stuff which feeds us. while today it only takes one-quarter of the population to do it. Mechanisation, higher yielding varieties of seed, bet­ ter producing cows, hens that lay more eggs per year have something to do with that, of course. But don’t get the idea that the farmer’s importance has waned, be­ cause war brings Mm into the lime­ light more than ever. Our armed forces couldn’t move forward toward Berlin and victory without food sup­ plies, and rationing has further awakened us to the importance of the man piloting the plow, and starving millions throughout this- beleaguered world call to him for assistance. Yet, taking the economic aspect, what's happening? In 1925, for ex­ ample, our agricultural production wss 41 per cent of the net value of all production in Canada: In 1939 it had dropped to 26. per cent, but in Its relationship to the rest maybe has gone further down due to the expansion of factory production in war material. Just after the First Great War, in 1919, our agricultural contributed nearly 29 per cent of the national income. In 1942, after three years of war, only 18 per cent of the income originated from agri­ culture, but, of course, by far more than 1919 in dollars and cents. But don’t get a gloomy picture, because we’ll shoot brighter figures at you. At Confederation time, 1867, we had only a little over a million milk cows on farms, but at 1941 and this number reached over 4,000,000. We have to-day 9,500.000 hogs on farms, other lines to usual revenue Buy ' Victoi iville Rock e Insulation Sami-Thick, •per backed Put Wctory M igry ag Fir LONDON - ONTARIO -Farming has changed in Canada. No doubt about that. The size of farms is increasing, in all provinces except Quebec. With the opening up of land for settlers the fairly stand­ ard unit was 160 acres in’ the west, 100 in the east, on the average. To-^ day- the average size of farms in Alberta and Saskatchewan is 433 acres. For Canada as a whole the average farm size went from 198 acres in 1921 to 238 acres in 1941. It is easily understood for the west anjrway, where extensive wheat acreage has become the accented thing and then taking into consider­ ation that production of livestock is becoming increasingly popular. There are udoubtedly more large farms, fewer smaller ones today and figures prove/that. Jn 1901, only 13 per cent of Canadian farms were of 200 or more acres, but in 1941 al­ most . 32 per cent of the total of 732,715 farms were that big". In 1901 there were almost 140,000 farms under 50 acres but twenty years later their number had de­ clined to 110,000. There is one thing notable about farming in Canada increase—a definite who are turning to augment the once from growing of grains. years ago the Canadian farmer de­ pended more oi^ the sales of grains, seed and hay for his cash income than-Jie does now. -Records of cash income for 1926, however, shows this: for every $100 cash he acquired from eale of farm products, $52 emanated from sale of grains, seed and hay; $21 fr*om livestock s(nd only *12 from sale of dairy product*.
