SOME EXPERIMENTS lN FARMING

If one follows up the daily press

and the magazines, he is sure to come across predictions that the family iarm is on the way out. and that coilectivist farms are to suc- ceed it. This the collectivists tcll us. is in the interests of the far- mers themselves, for they — the farmers-xvii] thus secure a fixed and certain income, such as other industries have. These collectiv- ist farms, I gather, can be run in one oi’ three ways: either by the farmers themselves as coopera- tives; or by the Government some- thing after the Russian example; or by a company as a commercial lCDIiCLEfil, ‘ust as a factory is run. ‘In the lag! case especially the very [name of Warming" is to be drop- ped, and the business is to b known as “food production."

As an observer, I can see little

hope of the collective or ccopera-'

tive system of farming lby the farmers themselves) being a suc- cess. Farming, as it stands. has produced a very individualistic lraee, not given to cooperation as a Irule, and rather averse to the study of its problems. In the lyears of my sojourn I have seen ‘several good cooperative projects come and g0. and noticed that their failure was due to the fact ,tihat they were run from the top rather than from the bottom. lThat is to say, the ordinary far- mer member of the group adopt- ed the method of "letting George do it," and took no interest in it beyond drawing his dividend. verily he had his reward.

The second, or Government col- lective farms have been tried out in the U.S.A., and the statistics of the project are most illumin- atlng. I venture to repeat them for those readers who may not have access to the figures. In i983, when under the depression the plight of the American farin- er was a sorry one, the Farm Se- curity Administration (PISA) pur- chased a block of land 1n North Carolina and settled 105 indigent farmers on it. Houses and farm

than businessmen." A corpora- tion, then. may be expecte to run its farm to make money, not to lose it. The farmer inow a la- Iborer under this regime) will [have n fixed income-and it is -not likely to be fixed too high! The time clock and the records will be looked after closelyl This system has been tried out in western Canada, in a small way, by some Mortgage Companies, on foreclosed forms; but I have not seen any account of their success or failure.

THE TRAVELS 0F AN ENGLISH- MAN (8) '

Soon after leaving Fort Garry, “three gentlemen and their ser- vants" joined the original party. and swelled the line of carts and horses into an imposing caval- cade, says our traveller, but he admits that it falls far short of the long “bi-i ades" that set out front the hat-breed settlements or. the Red River and elsewhere, to hunt the buffalo on the Qu’Ap- pelle and the vast plains to the south and west.

Our Englishman (as the reader must have noticed) has a trick of letting his journey take care oi itself for a time, while ne tells the story some contem- poraneous event. Usually this is real Canadian history, told by a close and shrewd observer. On these great battucs (as we may call them). he says that five hun- dred to one thousand half-breeds — men. women and children - along with hundreds of horses and carts, oxen and do s, start

A collective farm requires good management, and the FSA was no iiiggard in the matter. So a man- ager for the community was secured at $4,400 per annum. Un- der him were a farm specialist at $2,900; a clerk for the books at $2.00: a stenograpliei" and two typists at $1,530 eaclnandajanltor at $960. There was also a home sup- ervisor at $1,920. Every department was well provided for in a burcau- cratic way and the annual cost for management was $16,320, which was a charge against the farm- ers themselves. Divided up. eacli farmer was liable for $155. and couldn't pay it. They could scarcely yet live, let alone find a sum like that. FSA came to the rescue by in- dividual loans totalling $809,519, and a direct grant of $30,426. It was calculated that the amount spent on this project. carried an interest charge of $409,874 at this ldatc; and that if all the outlays and the interest were added to- ether. it would be found that it cost the FSA close on to 830.000 for each of the families on the 10G

rms.

After a five years run (in 1938i the project was on its last legs: so it was decided to addla hosiery mill to the farm, that the farmers might become "wage-earners" as well. FSA lent $900,000 for the ,l)llI‘|,)0S€ and a nice air-conditioned factory was built with landscaped surroundings. The workers were t: share in the profits. By end of 1942, the mill also~ was l ‘failure; its takings to date had [been $140035. and its running expenses $154,891.

I read that 197 such collective farms were started under Govern- ment supervision at that time. but all were "flat failures." One of them deserves

since it . gh that did

lure. It compris- ed 11,309 acres, on which were '71 tenant farmers. with the Govern- ment as landlord. Forty of the tenants (under direction) turned their holdinr into a big mechan- ized farm, and the Government took tithe of their harvest for rent: the rest of the produce went to the tenants. There were farm, community and home managers. hired by the FSA to run the pro- ' farmer was told t ivork, and his work was under close scrutiny, He was checked and clocked into the field
