CURRENT ACTIVITIES

the last week of September re- presents an in-between period. Har- ",5”vng mu goes on. potato digging has not become general. corn gt'itu'('fS are harvesting the crop hcloro the first early frost gets in its work and here and.there the yen plowed fields are beginning to appear. At this timeuif the year with the sun setting at 6 o'clock the evening comes rapidly and barn work must be done by artificial lght. Litllc more than a month re- mains before November which weatherwise is I notoriously treacherous month capable of pro- duclng very fine weather or snow and temperatures well below freez- ingv October is a busy one as much of the fall's work must be cleared up in order to put a wirkman- ship-like finish on the cropping ycar.

MEMBERSHIP SYSTEMS

Recently we received a letter from a believer in the Federation: a lctter which dcplore our use of nurcemcnis which aut orize a var- iciy of firms to deduct member- ship fees from their clients and remit to the Federation. Ther per- son in question felt that farmers sliotilti lic stifficiciitly interested to ...,.t.-,- p.'i)'nl9lli each year. and wore not uscini: their initiative in a system which is more or less auto- iiizitic.

In rcplyiiu: to the letter we point- ctl out that whatever systvm was (INTI sltoltld be economical and that no untiuc portion of the money col- lected should be used -in the mak- ing of the collection. We pointed out tiiat unless t e Federation had funds It would s on cease to exist ulicllit-r it was Etlntl OF bad- 'i'hct-cfurc. its ltirct-tors and 0f- ftccrs ncrc under the necessity of pi-mining: adequate finances, Thcsc would certainly not be available tin- less some sysletwds deVi5t'fl OYIIPF thon approaching the member each and evcry ycar. .

Many farm morgaiiizutioits are financed in a hidden way. often by contributions from large trading organizations. This simplifies the financing problem but lacks the adtantagc of tieing the member rlocolv to the Orgapizaton through dll'P('I. payment of dues into the Federation treasitry.

WHY NOT CATTLE

Nearly all farmers realize that there is a great variation in the alttlttv of livestock to efficiently contort feed into livestock pro- ducts. in no class of livestock is the variation in efficiency perhaps more marked than in cattle and this applies both in production of beef and milk. particularly the lat- tcr. Evcn within the same brccd the ability to produce milk will range all the way from 5.000 lbs. per year to 40.000 or I variation of 700 per cent.

There may not be the same rotiuc in beef cattle bitt it is still rntuo marked. in the light of those l.'tt'lS it is more than a little puz- filllg as to why greater attention has not been paid to the breeding of cattle in this Province. Cattle can be graded up quite rapidly lltrough the use of improved sires and th:-re has been no scarcity of lltvsevftlr many ycars- In spite of thin situation scrub sires and those of inferior breeding have enjoyed im-ater popularity than have their

DOMESTIC-EXPORT

Roforc the days of freight as. uistance on fccd grains the farmers nf Eastern Canada were puzzled "WI l"'"0YPd by I nysltam which warned it great deal more to move a bushel of grain from Port Art- lturytn the Mnritimes than for p.'”VlI1R the same quantity to some -'.'r0PN,HI Country. This variation .-ttll exisLs but has been compen. sated for by the freight assistance P0IK'.V. At the present time the export rate on grain from the Lake- tghylrtaittax is 47 cents per m -C-9".

ingenuity. resourcefulitens and thei necessity of operating more ef-I ftcJentiy with less and less man- power.

Here is an industry that during the past ten years has greatly in- creased output. per man and per acre which has put into effect numberous innovations. has used a whole host of new varlties, new equipment. new fertilizers. new in- sect and disease controls. and has in addition done a great deal of constructive work in improving marketing methods. If agriculture as an industry is the soft under- belly of the Canadian economy. we feel that the rest of it must. be fairly solid- The statement that Canadian agriculture is inefficient is uncalled for an unjustified and indicates that Dr. Dion is perhaps not as closely in touch with actual farming practise as he might be.

If farmers are lagging by a de- cade behind scientific knowledge then it can only be due to the withholding of information from them or to the failure of scentists to perfect the extension services necessary in the spreading of in- formation.
