People find him so interesting and colorful that he has had 1.210 visitors in the last ll months.

When Field Marshal Montgom- ery entered Germany at the war'a end he wore a dagger fashioned by Mr. Bernard out of a steel auto jack handle. some pieces of hur- mese wood and ivory from an Alaskan mammoth's tusk.

Mrs. Bernard died some years ago and his four daughters and two sons are grown up and mar- ried.

Born in Dublin. he raised cattle near Calgary before coming to the island. He took off from Al- berta for the Yukin gold rush in 1898 in a party of 10 that did it the hard way.

From Fort St. John they tra- velled down the North Pine River to Fort Nelson. Three died of scurvy on the way. With no game in sight toward the end of the Journey they were down to a cup of flour a day. They had actually gone three days without food when help came.

AMONG THE FARMERS

Federation al Agrlcaltaee Newsletter

PUSH AND PULL

The movement of farm people away from the rural community is encouraged by two different for- cos. First, there Is the pulling force of ur an and industrial em- ployment w th the promise of jobs many of them unskilled) offering up to 325.6 per day. in addition there is. of course. the often over- cmphasized gla and ease of my life. in the second place near ple are being pushed away from the farm due to relatively unsatis- factory economic rewards by the long hours. by the austerity of farm life and in many cases by

the lack of a satislfying commun-.

ity life.

it would therefore seem to fol low hat only those rural femil- Ics which have their roots fairly well imbedded in the soil will be able to resist the pushing and pulling which is in evidence at the present time. While here is con- siderable concern expressed on the score of rural population donlet- ion and its effect upon the rural institutions such as churches and fchools and upon the vacant farms and larger farms. quite likely no one has a ompiete answer to uhat the ideal rural community is -

in this province the community of the past was based upon the hundreds acre farm which did give great density of population and made possible the mainten- ance of numerous schools and churches. In the present era farms are getting much larger and pop- ulation muw less thus the large farm is looked upon in many cae- cx as a problem. However. from the onomic standpoint and from the standpoint of satisfactory liv- ing standards the small farm may he the real problem.

Certainly the number of people which one farmer is able to feed has been increasing in marked de- gree over a period of years and the trend continues. Whether it is possible or desirable to attempt to maintain more people on the land than are required to feed the urban and industrial population is a question which the economist and sociologist will probably have some difficulty in deciding. Ban- rmg marked public intervention in the matter. the forces now in play will quite likely result in farms be- coming larger. rural people few- er. farm capital investment much tzrcater rural living standards it gher and rural life lees satisfy- lng.

7.1 per cent from 623,091 to 575.- 0l'. in the case of farms having milk cows there was a decline 1 from 413.068. to 398.604 but cur- iously the total number of milk cows increased by almost 200.0(1) 0 and total cattle numbers rose by over 21-: million.

it is interesting to note that of all the provinces in Canada, bar- ring Newfoundiand, Prince Ed- ward island has the smallest num- ber of cows per farm. roughly 6'6. The average for Canada is 10.4 and for Ontario 16.1 During the months of March. April and May milk production per cow was 21 5 pounds against the Canadian av- erage-of 21, only New Brunswick 9 was below us. This condition is partly explained by the fact that in this province much smaller per- centage of our production goes in- 5 to the fluid milk trade. Fluid milk producers are of necessity forced 3 to maintain their production at 9 higher levels in order to maintain their markets.
