TORONTO, Ont. Dec. 2o,-Official
confirmation that racing in Canada,
which was discontinued for "the dura-
ton Of the war" viii be revived next
MAY, is admitted by no less an author
ity than Joseph II. Seagram, president
of the ontario Jockey club, That there
remain many details to be ironed out
goes without saying. However, the
mere fact that idle rumor has been sup
planted by virile announcement has
clarified tho atmosphere to such an ex-
tent that stout hearts predict the most
pronerous season OF racing in the his
tory Of the parent organization. True
the yamps of the turf-tho half-milers
must be "stilled," but unless present
plans miscarry the cabot will bo so
applied as to forever preclude the pos
slbility Of II recurrence of the unenvi-
able aroma which permeated the atmos-
phcre during the season of 1917,
W. y. Fraser, secretary OF the on
tario Jockey club, when seen refused to
he quoted in detail. but, like Col. Hen
drie' who accompanied the genial Sec"
10 the Guelph horse show, was not
aversc to admit that "all arrangements

Of one man, or his wife aud children,
but it takes him the larger part of
the haying season to accomplish this
work. The same is true of the other
small farmers. The farmer with the
large haying has to hire extra lab
orers from outside sources, and with
these and his larger equipment, does
his haying in about the same time as
it takes the small farmers, or in a
period of from two to three weeks
BY pooling their interests the three
mall farmers could assist one an
ether and do the having on each
farm in two or three days by reason
of more equipment, more teams and
more labor. together with the great
er efficiency from larger crews in
haying operations. In. the same way
this group of small farmers. having
been able TO complete their harvest
in a much shorter period. would be
able to assist the farmer with the
large haying either by hiring to
him or by an interchange of work
Such an arrangement would permit
all of the harvest work on these
four farms to be carried out without
hiring additional labor which has
been the usual custom in great
many instances.
These are only q few examples Of
how community effort on the part
of farmers can materially increase
the efficiency of their available re-
sources. Heretofore this universal
interchange of labor on farms has
not been common. 1t has been con-
fined to only a few operations such
as threshing and silo filling. 1t is
true that there are disadvantages
connected with this interchange of
labor in that the crops on one farm
may have to be cut a little too early
or the harvest may be delayed
little on another. Again, it is diff
ficult to find a number of men who
are of one opinion concerning how
the work should be carried out on
any particular farm. However, in
this great crisis the interests of the
individual are secondary and those
of the nation. of which each &C M
munity is part, are of first con-
sideration.
Wherever such a plan as that sug-
gested can be used it will be pa,tic-
ularly advantageous at this time in
view of the shortage of workers and
the scarcity and high prices of
equipment. In short. the plan is
nothing more than the use of all
men, teams and machinery within a
given community so as to gain the
maximum efficiency on the absolute
ly essential operations during the
critical periods, which at most are
of short duration.
