Among The- Farmers

(Federation of Agriculture News)

NEWSLETTER THERE IS A DIFFERENCE

in the minds of a good many people there would appear to be ...me confusion on the functions and status of the Department of Agriculture. the Federation of Agriculture. the Provincial Mar- keting Board and the Potato Mar- krting Board.

In the following paragraph we hipe to clear up some of these misconceptions.

The Department of Agriculture is a branch of Government. its head. mp Minister of Agriculture is the -li-i.-ted representative. of one of ..ic fifteen electoral districts in the pl'flVIIIC9. The chief function of the pi-partment is to administer the iarious policies enacted by the Government for the assistance of Agriculture. Its employees are Tlfild out of public funds and de- -. .fc much of their time to assist- Pig the farmer in the use of bet- W production methods. develop- ment of better livestock and in particular do a great deal of work Hill! the young people of the prov- ince through 4-H activities or jun- liv!' clubs.

The Federation of Agriculture is jlill. in any sense connected with Inc Government. it is an organiza- lion of farmers supported by their inluntary contributions It at- inmpls to weld together in one or- ganization all the different or- ganizations which represent the Vflflous phases of agriculture. In addition it is also supported by individual farmers with A yearly iiiembershrip fee.

The Federation does not diredtly mncern itself with production problems. but seeks to have leg- i-lallon placed on the statute books ncneficial to farmers and to act as the voice of agriculture in iiiinging its problems to the st- lIlllllOl'l of the public.

The Federation's greatest in- fliiciire has been exerted in the National field and has resulted in such concessions as Government Support Ptrice Policies. Income Tax concessions. and freight rate concessions. Through education. the Federation seeks to promote among all farmers a better under- standing of the complicated prob- lems which affect their way of life. The Federation has also led a fight to obtain legislation which would give farmers legal author- ity in an organized way to con- lrol the marketing of farm prod- iicfs.

The Potato Marketing Board was established by the Provincial Government under authority of th

PLATE 8:

Provincial Marketing Act only af- ter farmers had. in a plebiscite. signified their intention. The P0- tato Board receives no financial assistance from public taxes. As a matter of fact it contributes a portion of its revenue to carrying on a Government sponsored pro. gram for disease control and pro- motion of the industry. The re- venue referred to is derived from licence fees imposed upon the growers. dealers and truckers. The Potato Board is not a Government agency. it operates under a Gov- ernment Act in much the same manner as any other chartered as- sociation.

AMONG THE FARMERS

The pay of its salaried officials come out of the Potato Board's own revenues.

The Provincial Marketing Board is a. Government appointed body which has as its responsibility the over-seeing of Boards which may be set up to control the marketing of any farm product. Its chief con- cern is that these boards operate within the terms and conditions of their respective schemes and marketing legislation. The members of this Board receive no salaries and give their time as a public service in carrying out their duties.

GATT

Allan B. Kline, President of the American Farm Burean recently stated his opinion that General Agreements on Tariffs and Trade has done considerable good in re- ducing and eliminating Trade Bar- ricrs.

He spoke at a special Washing- ton Committee hearing con:-erning the forthcoming GATT conferencew

"The time has come to review and reorganize GATT so that it can. serve more effectively in coping, with the difficult and important! international trade problems con- fronting the free nations at this time. Mr. Kline said. Trade barriers in United States and those in other countries must be further reduced,! he told the hearing.

”It would be economically and politically dangerous to gear U. 8. foreign trade policies to a level of exports of farm products below :4 billion per year. especially until the enormous accumulation of farm

surpluses has been liquidated." Mix. ,lKline said.

i The Farm Bureau leader said competitive agricultural imports amount to three times as much, elatively. as industrial imports. The United States should in-

M icrease pressure on other countries,

iMr. Kline said. to have them re- lmove their dollar import restric- ltlons as fast as their gold and lcollar reserves permit. He called for imore stability in tariffs, quotas and ,customs regulations in United istates. saying this "ls the prime 'prerequisit.e on which importers lbuild a U. s. market."

RUSSIAN ICE CREAM CONES: The Soviet Union has begun a

Lord Verulam, British in- dustrlalist and dairy farmer. visit- ed Russla on a trade mission and says the Government is concentrat- ing on production and distribution of ice cream. Posters are displayed in Russian cities urging greater consumption of ice cream. state- owned ice cream stores have been set up all over Moscow. and elder- ly women street vendors are doing a good business selling ice cream cones. The price is the equivalent of 25 cents (U.S.) per ice cream cone. he adds.

IN MEMORIAM .

NEWTON TAYLOR i

The residents of Rocky Point and p surrounding areas in both town and; country were shocked and deeply saddened when it uas learned that death had touched with tragic sud-I deness, one of the districts best: known and most highly respected, citizens in the person of Newton '. The deceased had left his

September 16th to carry on a busi- ness transaction with a neighbor, and used his farm- tractor as

peted his task he turned home- ward and on the journey forfeited his life in a fateful accident. In some unaccountable manner. the tractor striking the shoulder of the road and overturning info the drain, pinned Mr. Taylor underneath bringing apparently instant death.

Mr. Taylor who was 46 years old was ii strong capable active

sudden. tragic demise cast a deep cloud of sorrow over a wide area. in which he was very popular. His kindly, generous and courteous manner and disposition, his willing- ness to help all good causes, and his fine neighborly characteristics, endeared him to ii large circle of friends young and old.

Mr. Taylor who was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Taylor, Nine Mile Creek was a farmer and lobster fi.sherman..building for him- self and family. by good business practices and honest dealing and hard work a splendid farm home at Rocky Point, where he removed shortly after his marriage. about seventeen years ago.

He is bereaved by his immediate family. composed of his wife the former Thelma Smith of Rocky Point, two boys Sterling and Wins- ton. aged 17 and 14 years respec- tively and adopted daughter. Ethel. He is also survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Taylor and three brothers, Winston and Lee, Nine Mile Creek and Lorimer in the United States.

The funeral held from the home to New Dominion Churph was one of the largest ever experienced in this part of the Province. and friends far and wide attended in large numbers to pay their last marks of respect and grief over one deeply mourned and beloved. Masses of flowers. almost 100 pieces. gave evidence of the wide-spread sympathy that went out to the bereaved family. Rev. Dr. A. E. Weir. the pastor of the deceased delivered an impressive and com- forting dlscourse and feelingly re- ferred fo the great and tragic loss that had come to the family and the whole community in Mr. Tay- lor's passing. A special solo. a vor- its of the deceased "Beyond The Sunset” was rendered on request by Mr. W. R. Show. The pallbear- ers were. Spurgeon Currie. Bruce
