Farm Income Shows Decline Anytime anyone tries to fool them- selves, it is worse for the country than to expect the other fellow to be fooled. Not many will take the time to sift out the government’ leaflets which come. The Farm and Ranch Review did in a recent bulletin the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. General decline in farm which has been taking place 1951 continued in 1954, with only New Brunswick showing a very light improvement. Farm costs of living, after a-slight drop in 1953, ‘again rose a little. The most violent drop income took place in Saskatchewan, followed by Manitoba and Alberta. In these three provinces taken together marketings of wheat declined by half compared with 1953, as the combined result of poor crops and full elevators. These reduced marketings, added to lower prices for wheat and sharp reduc- tions in inventory reserves, cut Sas- katchewan’s net income by 75 per- cent, Manitoba’s by 37 percent, and Aberta’s y 41 percent. Thus the downward trend in net income that has occurred since 1951 was sharply accentuated by condi- tions in the grain provinces. A continuation of this trend, or continued very low net returns to grain producers, says the CFA, would certainly mean severe agri- ‘cultural depression in Canada. This in turn would make it difficult, it not impossible, to combat the pro- blem of unemployment among urban workers.

At the present time Armstrong hill and the two hills at Cottonwood and Cinema are constant sources of trouble during the winter months and traffic is frequently tied up when heavy trucks get into difficul- ties on some of the steep grades and eharp corners. Quesnel — Next year may see the opening of the new highway be- tween Quesnel and Canyon Creek. This is the opinion advanced by the highways department iast week. Ben Ginter Construction Comp- any is progressing steadily with an eight-mile section immediately norta of Quesnel which will carry the road to the Cottonwood Canyon. On the north end of the 20-mile section Arnett Construction re- building approximately six and a half miles of highway from Strath- naver to Canyon Creek. Both these projects will be well on the way to completion by the end of this season. Next year should see the construc. tion of bridges over Cottonwood River and Ahbau Creek. Work on the gap in the highway between Cot- ‘tonwood and Strathnaver can be con- tinued at the same time that bridge construction is proceeding. With the highway project com- pleted motorists will be able to travel a new route north from Que- snel which will eliminate three bad hills.

The best material to use is chain- link fencing of the type sometimes referred to as cyclone fencing. For you'll find the light) -link fencing an ex-} this aluminum ch cellent choice. The enclosure can be any size you want Use four by fours for the up- rights, two by fours for the cross} beams. The fencing can be attached | to the wood with staples, the kind | that are hammered in place or the| kind that are shot out of a machine. A stapler can be rented from your neighborhood dealer at a small char- ge, but don't rent it until everything is set to begin the stapling. The uprights should be set in the ground anywhere from five to eight feet apart, depending on the size of the playpen. For an extra sturdy job, set the four by four's in concrete, us- ing the premixed kind that requires only the addition of water. Be sure the concrete has hardened thorough- ly before nailing or stapling any- thing to the uprights. And don’t for- get to leave a space for a gate, which will be a wooden frame with the chain-link fencing attached to it. The latch arrangement, of course, is placed on the outside of the gate so the child can not tamper with it. You can use metal posts, beame and gate frames if desired, but it wil be a bit more expensive that way. purpose, F FIRST AVENUE See our new Jantzen Suits and Dresses Also a large assortment of new-Swea Sweater Sets.
