Plans are now underway for the holding of a national conference on education - likely in March 1058.

The Canadian Federation of A-

Troubles in the egg market re- flccted by prices not in line with the support price indicate at least a partial breakdown in the method of supporting eggs and lead to a decision by the CFA Annual meet- ing ill Winnipeg to appoint a special committee to work with the proper authorities in devising a more reliable plan for protect- iiig egg producers from low prices.

The present system does not guarantee any set price to the producer unless the handler is pre- pared to offer them to the Price Support Board which undertakes at the end of the season to. (if there is any surplus) buy the eggs in crates. oiled and in storage on the basis of 39 cents a dozen for (trade A- Large. In this province

GORDON COMMISSION

"Hours of work. both in agric- ulture and in the business sector of the economy. have been de t-lining and we expect these trends to continue. Average hours per ucek per man in agriculture are predicted to fall from 55.3 in 1955 to 43.75 in 1900. and. in business. to fall from 41.3 In 1955 to 84.8 in 1980- .

"Output per nian-hour has been increasing more rapidly in agric- tilture than in any other part of the economy. although it is still considerably lower than in most other sectors. An important rea- son for the rapid Increase has been the echanical revolution that has been taking place in Can- adian farming. Since it seems that agriculture will continue to in- crease over the next is years at a high rate. although not so rs- markable as has been the case during the past decade. There will of course be other technological advances made in agriculture; and for that reason we are also aa- siiming a substantial rise in pro- ductivity during the last ten years of the period under consideration

”But in our opinion the rate of in- in

crease will be somewhat slower ' because the production of most will become relatively more im-
