0.5. Farm Income

Gross farm income in the United States last year soared to a new all-time record --8 per cent above the previous peak. set in 1948, and 20?; above 1950. The major part of the gain, notes "Business Week", was due to higher prices; marketings rose only about 20?. Net farm income, how- ever. rose loss. due to higher production costs. So, on a net basis, 1951 was only the third-best year in history, behind 1947 and 1948.

Most of the 1951 gains went to live- stock and poultry raisers. Cash receipts from cattle and hogs were up 2062;; from sheep and lambs, up 59?.) (despite ii 1595 drop in marketings): from chickens, 155?: from eggs. 3072: from dairy products, 1592. The gain from crops. over-all, was only 6f'n. Cotton and tobacco were big gainers; wheat and corn produced less income, last year than in 1950.

Among the regions, big gainers were the entiiic Northeast (dairy and poultry); the Southeast (cotton); and the Midwest (cat- tle and hogs). Biggest loser was the South-

by the drought. .

A significant feature noted in the re- port is that switches in farm income from month to month last year had a telling ef- fect on the over-all index. This is inter- pretcd as meaning that the rise in in- come from non-farm sources has virtually come to a standstill. It seems likely now that this flat trend will persist until the rise in defense production catches up with the drop in civilian output.

Staggering Figures

s642 millions spent by Canadians on liquor during 1950, the last year of record, went in large part to government treasurles, Fed- eral and provincial. Nevertheless it is a large and disturbing sum. It means, as the Winnipeg Free Press points out, that the liquor business today is larger than the to- tal business of the Federal Government be- fore the war when the national budget stood at just over half a billion dollars. And the consumption of liquor continues to rise, having increased by 4.5 per cent in 1950 considered economically, the expend- eoiild be used to purchase the essentials of life.

Unemployment is fortunately not wide- spread in this Province this year but it is prudent as well as a matter of good cit- izenship to have as much work as possible undertaken before labour again becomes practically unobtainable.

The German Reich was prepared to use counterfeit money as a weapon against its enemies. It seems highly likely that Com- munist minds would be even more ready to adopt such methods. Any civil defence pro- gramme should includc provision for rapid- ly changing the type of currency in cir-

Sir.-in l-'nl', passing of our Gracious Sovereign King George the Sixth our hearts are touched with sorrow, but with thankful- ncss that death was Our sympathy goes out to the Princess in a special way on ac- count of her bereavement and of having the burden of Qucsnshi-p thrust upon her.

We knew King George before 1939. but at that time we really tell in love with them as we gazcd on their familiar faces. it will be good even for ourselves to pray for the Royal Family.

The King is only one of three friends that the writer has lost in three days. Those who knew Alfrcd Simpson of Summersidc have suffered a loss in his l'c- moval from our midst. I said good-bye and wished him good luck a few weeks ago. a few days before going to Boston for med- ical examination. If the late King had becn in my place he would have said, "Put your hand in the hand of God." But I lacked the courage. Of course he should have said that to me.

I am sorry now ,thal I did not cultivate his friendship sooner, for he had a great capacity for that quality. He loved to rail.)- rocate in hospitality and carried a well lined cheque book with a facile pen that would reach thrcc figures and more when he found a worthy cause. He carried out the advice of the great John Wes- ley who said. "Make all you can. save all you can, give all you can."
