'Although the Federation does mt. agree that it is sufficiently high for this purpose, we must mpreciiiic the position of the (iovrrnincni. in that they cannot afford to protect or encourage speculators in the production of any commodity.

li is difficult to explain in de- tail many of the Federation prob- lcms and efforts through this rniumn or by correspondence. Therefore. it is also necessary for the directors and officials of your organization to get out and meet the members and discuss current llrohlrms from time to time. This is iii.-in why the local sci-up of the Federation must he re-org.'in- izcd into larger units.

For this reason,ma sgerielsg of tneetlmts is being planned for the first and second week of March. These meetings will be held at most of the main centres in the

province. Local chairmen and secretaries will be informed and will he expected to pass the Ward alnnzt lo the farmers in their district.

the Itendygdeterioralion and. em- igration of the people was an even more serious problem.

The TVA development has in- deed proved to be a lesson to the world for underdeveloped or over- cxploitcd areas.

From the purely economic point of view it has been an outstand- ing success. Before the harness- ing of the Tennessee River by TVA, only 225,000 homes in the area used electricity. In 1947, the last year for which figures are available, over one million homes were electrified. Only 3 out of 100 farms in the area had elec- tricity in 1933. This jumped to 58 out of every 100 by 1947. TVA has raised total income in the Valley by 600 per cent. Hundreds of new industries came in to the Valley.

The TVA development protected the area from floods. gave the people access to inland waterways. clcclrlflcd and generally trans- formed the whole face of the Val- lcy. In a few years it has cliangr-ii an unnoticed. disorder- ed. and wasteful economy into a wcii-planned and prosperous one.

What. could the Maritlmes not do with that type of planning? It is often said that people in small places are not capable of making and carrying through large plans. Is that what is wrong with our leaders and with us?

The directors of our Federation and people in outlying districts of the province feel it is about time our Government in the Mariilmcs started working togeth- er on some of those problems. A long term view of the effects of Rural Electrification is needed. Hoping for some change and con- sidering immediate profits did not produce the TVA in Tennessee. nor will it produce results in the Mriritimes.

Fnnima and Coininodlty Groups

In a recent Farm Forum dis- cussion P. E. I. members studied the measure of marketing control achieved by farmers through or- ganlzcd commodity groups. Form Forum Guide reviewed the pro- gross that. farm commodity groups have made in Canada. and the extent. of their marketing limita- tions. To this background they added the local panel discussion on Marketing. and their own knowledge and personal exocr- lence with fluctuating farm prices. Group opinion on the first ques- tion of National Farm Radio Forum Guide. "What can market- ing hoards or schemes do to im- prove the marketing of farm produce?" brought an answer which fell into a marked pattern.

”if valid." said Bracklcy Forum members. "to form a money pool by levy on the product. to buy tip any surplus which In itself would strengthen the price. The price paid for the surplus would be pooled with the price for the whole product and an average price he paid to all."

Nail Pond West Forum wrote. "The subject for tonightis discus- sion created by for the liveliest debate of the season. This was due to the recent findings of our Supreme Court in regard to the Potato Marketing Board. But. after complete discussion we were all agreed that. first of all. we ncgcrd a jiyfarlcetlng Board that has 100 per cent backing by every- one who has any intercst- whatso- ever in the future of agriculture." Spring Valley warned that. "Farmers should see that the Government enacts proper legisla- tion to make Marketing Boards legal to operate on P. E. I." With this, Bloomfield agreed. and add- ed. "that a commodity group on the Island can not do very much until the Government has the power to enact laws, and make them stand."

"The Government of Canada." suggested the members of Link- letter Forum. ”should pass legis- lation which will allow commod- lty groups to control sale of their products from producer to con- sumer. We can not understand why manufacturers or other deal- ers can control their markets wliiiout interference from the courts. but. if formers attempt to do likewise they are involved in lawsuits. This does not look like democracy!" ' Several groups like. Red Point. and Fort Augustus. thought that Marketing Boards could improve the marketing of farm products by better grading. more at- tractlve packaging and maintain- ing I steady supply of the pro-

duct to meet consumer demand.

Among the Noatks. Indians of British Columbia it was formerly I rule that any person who had dined oif the flesh of I bear must abstain from eating any kind of fish for two months. Why? Be- csuse they fancied the fish would come by this knowledge and not allow themselves to be caught. The disappearance of herring from the see. about Helgoland in 1530 wss attributed by the fisher foil: to the misconduct of two boys who had abused a freshly-caught salmon and then threw it back into the water.

A similar disappearance of the smelts from some of our Island streams. in pioneer days. was set

fertilizing their farms with smelts during the spring run.

Scottish fishermen have the no- tion that. if blood is drawn in a quarrel on the coast where lierrlmv are being caught. the shoal will leave and not come back in that .season at least.

Before the Indians of Mexico poison the tvatcrs of a river to stupefy the fish they hope to catch they take care to make offerings of axes. blankets. beads. etc. to the master or leader of the fish. And
