KING'S COUNTY IIERDS

The M). tests conducted in King's County during the past summer provide some interesting informat- ion. In the Countyidre 2.056 owners of rattle with I total of slightly over 20.000 head. The average per herd 9.70.

There are almost 1.300 herds with ten head or less. 583 herds from ten to twenty and 148 from 20 to 30. and a total of ill herds having 31 animals or more. The largest herd being 121 head. While these figures do not indicate I very large cattle Population. what is important is the feet that during the past six years there has been I marked increase in the total.

WHAT ABOUT BEEF?

This Province is naturally I pro- ducer of grass. hay and other roughagel which can be process-

ed by cattle into lsilk or meat.

The Dairy Induai 1 given I valu- able measure of stability to our economy and in addition lays I sound foundation for soil conserv- ation and agriculture of I high order. The production of beef is. of cous-se,a subsidiary of the Dairy Industry but there would appear to be in this Province place for the production of more and better beef than is presently the case. far too many of our cattle are inferior in WP! and in the capacity to convert feed Into meat. On many farms where good dairy cows are kept there is pro- bably I place for the raising of animals carrying some beef biod- lines. The cost of labour and the advent of much cheaper housing both suggest that cattle numbers will increase in this Province and the beef industry become relative- ly more important. There is I market in the Maritimes for good beef and it would appear to be good business to be supplying it.

PERCENTAGE OF INCOME

Naturally potatoes vary from Province' to Province in their rel- ative importance and in percent- age of value to total farm prod- uction. In 1953 in this Province over 50 per cent of the value of field crops was 'potatoea,Naw Brunswick showed 36.76, British Columbia 15.03. in Saskatchewan potatoes were less than one-half of one percent. in Ontario (.12 and in Quebec 9.57.

FARM OUTFIT

The Financial Post published in Toronto claims to be Canada's National weekly of business. in- vestment and public affairs. It has never shown any sympathy for the problems of agriculture and even less understanding but. neverthe- less. continues to make distorted oronouncements which usually can lain nothing of I positive nature relative to the agricultural situat- I011.

This publication naturallv shows a l)l't'(.lL'('lll)tJilt)Il with profits. div- idcnls.)t-nviilnl gain. etc. It is. of course. not difficult to understand why the Post looks ,with contempt upon an industry and operators Who are loin! more often in the red than not. The Issue of Dec- cmher 10 refers in courteous terms to the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture as "A Farm Outfit" and then proceeds with I twisted. dis- honest interpretation of the Fed- erationls brief to the Ontario leg- islature. The Post suggests that the Ferieration wishes to hold every other Group back if farmers cannot move ahead.

Common sense would indicate to the average reader. if not to fin- anclal writers that what farmers are seeking in the opportunity of getting up with other Groups and of travelling along with them as first class citizens. Our reading of the Financial Post leads us to the conclusion that its idea of In econ- omic Utopia would be one in which

FARM SUBSIDIES

Last week we listened to I panel made up of representatives from the Canadian Association of Con- sumerl. the Federation of Agri- culture. Labour Organizatlon and I newspaper man discuss matters relative to the coloring of mar- garine and the passing on of wage increases to consumers and farm- on. The discussion was an inter- esting one but all through it was the suggestion by the newspaper man Ind' the labour representatlvei that farmers were very heavily subsidized It the expense of the taxpayer.

This statement was made specif- iclally with respect to Western wheat marketing and the farm organization man was under the nscessity of pointing out the com- plete inaccuracy of the statement. It is unfortunate that taxpayers and . . have in some manna incorrectly gained the idea that agriculture is heavily subsid- ized. Actually tthe taxpayers con- trihutlcai on behalf of farmers in the way of supports and subsidies is of I very modest nature. in fact. when broken down on I per captis basis it is hardly worth dis- cussing.
