But how about the long winters? Well, there aré a great many things which New London county can grow in the summer and lay by for winter. 1 need only mention such vegetables as totatoes, turnips, beets, carrots, cabbag- es, etc, such grains as corn and oats and wheat; or stock foods like hay, stover and silage; and such fruits as ariles and pears. The modern development of canning pro- | cesses has, also, made it possible to pre serve almost Indefinitely scores of peri able things. No farmer who will fol the simple cirections easily obtain and inexpensive in use need lack, either for himself or for sale to discriminating consumers, such canned vegetables as corn, peas, string beans, tomatoes, etc., or such canned fruits as berrles, (peaches, plums, cherries and the lke, Like most other New England counties, New London doubtless buys these from abroad in large quantity. But there is no inherent reason why the county couldn't and shouldn’t produce them all, within its own limits—produce them, harvest them, them and market them. en today, there is a Mmited but growing call for such home-grown, home- canned products, and a few far-sighted and progressive farmers are taking ad- vantage of it. That the county could s ply its own full requirements along this line is unquestionable. Why it does not is another problem. Even the great canning factories them- selves admit the wisdom of trying for local rather than long-distance markets. At a méeting of the Michigan Canners' As- sociation, a month or so ago, one of the princhpal speakers laid special stress on this idea. He referred to the saving in transportation charges thus securable, and declared that “intensified selling over a comparatively small area was much more effective than the same expenditure of money and effort spread out aver a great area.” He went so far as to assert that there was “na earthly reason why the Michizan consumer should ever use any but Michigan canned goods.” He was right. There is, no good reason why any locality should lise any but locally canned goods within the limits of seasomal and climatic conditions. It isn’t so much the consumers whom I am thinking of in this connection as the farmers. Why, in a county where soil, climate, and rainfall make it possible for s to st all “the go out of the state into else’s pockets? Why -shouldn’t the local farmers - Oh, T know that it isn't as easy as roll- ing off the well-known log. I know what lions there are in a way. There's the la- bor question, and there's the market muddle; and there's the haulage bother, and 'steen other growling, grunting, grouchy old bea: Also—and don’t minimize the import- ance of this—there's the old rut to be got out of, Oh, that old rut! Yoyr wheels have been travelling in it for nobody knows how many years and it is like pulling spokes right out of the hub even to think of getting out of it! Moreover, if you're an old fellow, like me, I am not going to advise you to risk your spokes or axles. We, you and I, are going down the lonz and ghall get to the bottom soon with- out leking up the old horse or trying to make speed. But think of the young fellows coming up the other side of the hill, just starting, and finding the grade steei» and rocky. We should be sorry orts if we insisted that they too must follow old ruts. They may be a little brash and head- strong. Well, well; you and 1 weren't models of doellity or wisdom at thelr age; They make lots of mistakes. So did we; don’t let's pretend we didn’t! We learn- ed from our own blunders. Don’t you suppose they will, too? It is on their shoulders that the hopes of the farm lands rest. It is to them that we must look for the futdire. And it is to them that I am frankly appealing in this attewt to show the possibility of their obtaining and holding the best market any farmer can ever have—his own home ‘market. It is not the Has-Been’s but the Will- Be's who count. THE FARMER. CANTERBURY PLAINS There was a good attendance at une C. E. meeting Sunday evening.
