points out that increased produc- tion per man hour in agriculture and other related efficiencies have increased production to the point where farm prices have been lowering at a time when production costs have gone up.

The brief suggests that the country can much better face up to the problems of a moderate inflation than to those of defla- tion. Also emphasized is the fact that in periods of inflation ex- penditures on food form a small- er proportion of total income. In short, increased purchasing pow- er does not materially increase either the volume or value of food consumption.

FIVE DAY WEEK

Generally in industry, business and the professions the trend is to a five day week. REASONS 5S a five day week. Reasons for this state of affairs are various, some of them obvious, some of them not. The most obvious being of course, the fact that most people prefer to do as little work as Possible and five day weeks in- stead of six is a move in this dir- ection.

A hidden reasoh is that in the mind of organized labour, work can be provided for more people. The extra day's leisure of course creates opportunity for travel and spending, thus keeping mon- ey in circulation. For the man tied to his desk or profession it can give an opportunity for him to get his business or banking done on Saturday. But these peo- ple have also pinched their work- ing days and this advantage no longer exists.

In a province such as this where agriculture is the most im- portant industry a five day week for the farmer is impractical. Even in seven days many farm- ers never manage to get all their work done and on livestock farms there is always work for each day of the week.

All too many farmers are ‘find- ing themselves in the position of having to work seven days in order to buy the products or ser- vices of other groups who work. for only five days out of the sev- en and gét more pay rather than less for dong it.

VETERANS: BENEFITED

Parliament has recently am- mended the Veteran's Land Act to increase loans which may be made from $9,000 to $20,000 and with an increase in the period of repayment from 25 years to thir- ty. The increased money avail- able.can be used for the expan- sion of holdings, purchase of livestock and farm equipment or

ed in Parliament with amend- ments to the Farm Loan Board Act. The Veteran’s Land Act and the Farm Improvement Loans Act. Under the latter the present limit on loans has been raised from $5,000 to $7,500 with no in- crease in the rate of interest | which remains at 5 percent. These changes are a recognition of what seems to be general agreement on the necessity of farm opera- tions increasing in size which of course requires additional work- ing capital. A big farm can not be operated with the same amount of money as the smail one.

HOG PRODUCERS OPPOSED

Ontario hog producers met on May 2% in Toronto and took a strong stand against the propos- al of deficiency payments in the hog industry. Opinion of the largely attended meeting was that the floor price system with offer to purchase should be main tained. However, there also was acceptance of the idea for lower floor price on hogs in order to control-their production.

Of course it was pointed out even with a 23 cents floor that hog prices had gone to $29. On- tario farmers are concerned with deficiency payments which may mean the continuation and deve- lopment of a cheap food policy jn this country. Clearly farmers can be pardoned for being con- cerned by the disabilities they might incur in operating in high cost economy and seeling in a cheap food policy.

AERIAL VIEW

An airplane flight from Char- lottetown to Summerside last Sunday confirmed the writer’s opinion that winter killing in pas- tures and meadows has been very extensive. Practically all fields show some killing, others have numerous patches which might add up to 50 percent while in still others quite large areas are still grey and show no signs of grow- th. So far this has been a poor grass season, winter killing, a dry May followed by cold weather in June have certainly kept the grass in low gear. :

THREE CENTURIES

Recently off the press, “Three Centuries and the Island” by A. H. Clar, whose parents, were na- tives of the province, provides a very interesting combination of economic,, geographical and agricultural history. The book contains over 300 maps which il- lustrate such Widely divergent matters as hay production per Person and percentage of improv- ed land per farm. Curiously, Kings County which is least im- portant agriculturally has the largest farms in the province. Readers who are interested in some quite original information on the agriculture of the province will find this new book to be quite original.

The proposed change in per- missible news reports of prelim- inary hearings—at which it is de-

‘I cided whether evidence warrants

an accused going on trial—would prohibit any reference to a con- fession or admission by the ac- cused until he was freed or: his trial completed. iad

APPLIES TO NEWS COVERAGE

It is intended that this provi- sion will not apply to news cover- age of any statements made by the accused at a trial, whether they be confessions or otherwise. “The purpose of the proposed amendment,” says an explan- atory note in the bill, “is to pro- vide that a news report of a pre- liminary inquiry published before the accused has been discharged or the trial concluded may not disclose an admission or confes- sion made by the accused.”

K adds that “the object of the proposed amendment is to avoid prejudice to the accused.”

Authorities said the main idea is that this should make it easier to find jurors unfamiliar with the accused’s case should it go from preliminary hearing to trial. QUOTES LAW

The proposed new law would read:

“Everyone who publishes in any newspaper, or broadcasts, a report that any admission or con- fession was tendered in evidence at a preliminary inguiry or a re- port of the nature Af such admis-

Existing law empowers judges, if they think it necessary in the interests of justice, to ban the public — including reporters— from preliminary. hearings.

But judges have no authority over what is reported of a pre- liminary hearing left open to the public.

The proposed change would have no effect on the right of the public to attend preliminary hear- ings.

BROADEN PRINCIPLE

code changes would broaden the instalment - paying principle to include fines for more serious, or indictable, of- fences, and ensure the convicted offender of at least two weeks in) which to pay, provided he can} show the court he is unable to pay immediately.

At' present, the courts have dis-| cretion whether to give time for paying fines on summary convic- tion for minor offences. But in- dictable offences must be paid forthwith. f anyone is unable to pay his fine, he must serve the equivalent time in jail.
