United States Trads

'”1'he Farm Forum program last -

Monday night consisted of an in- terview with Mr. Davis, iissistnnt Secretary for Agriculture in the United States. The answers to the nanny questions asked by the vari- ous correspondence indicated tlizit for the next few years, it was likely that some restrictions would he applied against the movement of products into that country where such products are already in surplus supply. Mentioned specifically were barley and dairy products and while fruit and vege- tables were not referred to yet there is no good reason for believ- ing iihat the general policy would not apply as well.

Mr, Davis minted out that the United States govemment now owned large quantities of various products and that in keeping those out of export trade. I"i.'ld made a substantial contribution to keep- ing world prices at a reasonable level. In the llaiht of this con- tribution. argued Mi-. Davis. it was unfair to r-xpr-ct the United States to accept prndiiets in vol- umes that would still farther iri- rreare the supply already on hand.

Agricultural production had been geared to high levels of demand during the war and post year per- iod. Many European countries are l'.0W approaching self-siifflciency. all of which pointed to difficultizs in marketing. Agricultural pro- .-iuction does not contract easily and it is likely that North America is facing an arllustmeiii pc"iod that may last for four five years.

0I' Urban Consumption

Halifax with a population of 125.000 is one of our mayor Mari- time consuming eeiiteis. It is in- irresting to consider what such a city means as a market for farm product. Daily. such a city will re- quire 1'4. cars of potatoes, 1 car of vegetables, 20 tons of meat, 30 tons of fruit. nearly 300 cases of eccs. 0000 lbs. of butter. and 50.- 000 quarts or milk. and cream. Stated in this way the value of alien in market to the to the farm- ers of the Maritlmes is readily ap- parent and serves to emphasize the importance of development in our lifaritiiiic cities as a inr.-ms of )lrm'IrIIlll: a market for Maritime products

Winter Road:

There are still a number of peo- ple who are opposed to the plow- inc of our roads in winter and who .xrarii for the good olddays when the farmer travelled with horse and sleigh through slues and over ditches. spending hours for even a or shipping point. The world now travels on wheels and further development will likely be along these lines wiffh the sled being still further shaved into the back-ground.

or late years there is a notice- able tendency to disregard the winter in its effects upon con- Itructlon and travel. This trend will likely continue and more arid more activities will be carried on til-irougliout the winter months activities which become necessary if high living standards are to be supported on a twelve-months

Dairy Farmers

President Gilbert Maolvlilliin in addresing the Dairy Farmers in Canada at Hamilton. dealt with

various phases of the Dairy in- dustry. we take the liberty of quoting in part from this address

believing his remarks to be of general interest

Income Necessary:

"Dairy farmers do not chahge vocations readily and the present produceis will still continue to are- duce milk if. in return-for their labour and investmen-t. They can enjoy a standard of living equal to other people in the same station of life I believe they will even work more hours to attain this than fl lot of other people. In addition to this, they must have sufficient in- come to either put into reserve. or spend on repairs on their build- ings. machinery and fences. about five per cent of their capital value evcry year. Otherwise, they will finri themselves some day facing a heavy expenditure and no money to meet it.

This brings us in the question of what would be the right price for them to get for their production to meet the foregoing demands. and what they can do in the v.'a..V of marketing to help get this price. I am going to start from the premise - or stick my neck out, it you like . . . that if there is no definite change in living and pro- duction cosis. they should receive for their entire 1054 production just about what they are getting for iihelr milk now.

I do not think there is a rea- sonable authority in the country who will tell you that the dairy farmer can buy the things ho needs and sell his milk for any less. A lot of producers will say it is not enough. but that is de- batable. For some it will not be enough but that is their own per-

Finds Prison No Dead End y

NEW YORK (AP) -Prison was no dead end" for 46-year-old Ste- phen Boles. a stubborn man with I pliant mind. In 19 years behind bars he studied his way to free- dom-and took time out to win a bride.

Once, 10 years ago, freedom slip- ped through Boles' fingers. But he went right back to studying law in prison and today he is 8. free man.

Boles was arrested in a. cigar store robbery in 1934. Only 26 then, he was sent up for 30 to 60 years as,a second offender.

Like many convicts before him, he turned to the study of law to try to undo the sentence of the court. In 1944, he talked himself into a new trial on the grounds his sentence was illegal.

The sentence was cut. to 35 years. But it was a hollow rictoly for a convict with nearly 25 years yet to go. '

Wins '1'lilrLI Trial

Boles won a second new trial early this year, on grounds he had not been properly represented by counsel at the 1944 eretail.
