We have good reason to believe that there will be a lair demand in February for pressed hay both fi-mi the Upper Provinces and from parts of the New England States.

It is difficult to forecast any price. However. our warning still is that. tanner: should not sell them- selves short o4 hay at a low price in case there may be a. market at home within the next year or two.

Among The Farmers (Continued from Page 3)

It is our belief that this will be a simple, representative, and ef- flciciit method of voicing the °D1nions and problems of our farm people. Tentative arrangements have been made to hold the Kings County Organizational meeting in Charlotte- . 10W“ during Farmers Week in Jan- i uary. InIeni-uiionail Food Plan The wings of the IIIfEYnQﬂQI-uﬂ Commodity Clearing House plan for distributing the worlds food ‘ have bccn more or less clipped. during the post u-eek. This apparently has resulted from severe criticism directed by a group of U. s. Stale Deparnment officials iwhose practical experiences with ‘this problem is admittedly limited land whose icar of upsetting their ‘own financial control. to relieve ,liunger and encourage peacetime ‘production in other countries is ‘hard to appreciate. There is so much misleading in- Joxvrnation being circulated and so lmany wrong impressions being giv- en this proposal. that we feel 1t, necessary to repeat briefly some of the facts and reasons regarding it. The principles of this proposed International plan for distributing the worlds food were riginaliy drafted and endorsed by he Nat- ional farm organizations of twenty . seven countries of the world, meet- iing together and representing both eiaportbrs and importers of food products. Many of these men have devoted their ability and many years oi their lives to a study of this quest- ion and fully realize the local and

This plan was endorsed by U. S. Secretary or Agriculture Mr. Char- les F. Brannan in his capacity as iiesd oi the American delegation to the F.A.O. Conference. It has been studied and approved by both church and consumer lead- ers in the United States. The proposal has been laibelled locally as regimentatlon rind state control. Wliy there is so much op- position to planned and orderly marketing for Agriculture when such is an accepted arrangement in other groups and industries‘? We wander what. farmers of Can- ada would have received this year for butter had there been no dis- tributing set-up such as the Prices Support Board. llow much money would the large financial concerns be making at the present time after buying this butter from farmers at greatly re- duced prices. storing it. and then releasing it t0 consumers at in- creased prices during our scarcity periods? . bet us not forget the depression years when scores of people even in America were picking food scraps out oi garbage cans while tanners herr- were (lumping good food and piles 0i wheat were being burned in Western Canada and other countries.

If those people who are critical of ILLCh s proposal. have an alternat- ive constructive scheme to offer that would help to relieve hunger. distribute the worlds food in an orderly way. put some stability in prices both to consumers and pro- ducers. then let's have it. I! we want to encourage our young people (,0 engage in some productive work rather than flock to unemployment agencies.

G0v'i Yields To Opposition Views 0n income Tax

last night brought a Government change today in a section of the‘ income tax act affecting farmers; and fishermen,

One of 52 sections in a bill to; amend the act. it would put intoi effect a new system of deprecia- tion announced in the budget speech of last March. It was as- sailed roundly at last night's sit- ting as being unclear and as constituting a capital gulns tax.

Finance Minister Abbott rose today to lay he still thinks the new system will be of more bene- fit te farmers er fishermen than the cld. He also said he had re- ceived no protests from organized farmers’ groups.

However, in view of the "ap- prehension" expressed by mem- bers, he had no desire to force the change on the farming or fishing communities. Consequent- ly he had no objection to their continued use of the present system of depreciation.

Depreciation allowances now are granted on the hasig of wear and tear of assets used in earning the income subject to tax, he said last night. The governing prin- ciple of the now basis would be the amortization of costs oi‘ de- preciable assets.
