To Change The Subiect
We've been’ so concerned about our political mixup of last Monday -and the tedious process of straightening it. out, that too few of us have given thought to the fact that this is ‘Dairy Month in Canada, and that it finds our dairy farmers quandry abott the future of the in- dustry than at any other. time. This is not a problem that our politicians can deal with locally, whatever fulsome
~promisessome—of—them—may—have
made to the contrary: It is a national exchanges, that it is just-as acute in that presperous province as it is here. ~ It is noted for example, that over the past decade the number of Cana- dian farms keeping cows has decreas- ed by some 50,000. Cow numbers are at the lowest figure they have been in, 45-vears. In the intervening years, production per cow and per farmer has increased at a rate which general- Jy. exceeded consumer demand: But _ for the past five years, there has “been no: appreciable increase in na- tional. production. In 1965,+in fact,
~ “production fell below 1964 levels.
In an effort to s tion and increase farm income, the.
“federal government recently moved
to establish higher prices to farmers
_.for_milk..Whether_the_move_.was..a...
case of being too late with too little will not be known for some time, but farm organizations are not optimistic.
“The farmer, meanwhile, is struggling with another problem, indirectly re-
Mr
lated to the economics of dairy farm- ing. He, is being called .upon to be- come more-and more efficient—a re-
quirement that usually also means
becoming bigger—and to do this he needs help in the operation _ ot his farm.
Experienced dairy farm help, how- ever, is becoming more_difficult all the time to find. The » job is compared with those available in indtstry and. it is the farm that comes out-on the short end of the stick. he good men are leaving for th oe Seay a week jobs in the cities. situa- tion has forced many dairy farmers into premature retirement.
If no solution. to the problems of | on ‘
dairy production is found, it is pre- dicted that Canada—one of the last
‘great agricultural reservoirs. in the
\
world-—may soon, find itself in the
«position ~of-having...40-import--dairy-——
products. No part of Canada has a bigger stake in this problem than we: have right here in ®rince Edward Island. It is worrying our dairy farm- quite: a bit—much more, in fact, than the-admittedly important ques-' tion of who's going to come out on top when the‘ dust finally settles in the political arena.
Worth Remembering Senator Crerar, ‘in his -farewell ee before retiring from the Up-
amber, ‘joined in expressing

‘pinion that Parliament will, never
-work. satisfactorily until Mr. Pearson’
and, Mr. Diefenbaker have ” left it. That appeared to clinch the matter, since Senator Crerar has been regard- ed as one of our sagest of senior
_statesmen. But there is another factor
to_be-considered—a—factor-which-we- “all tend “easily to forget—arid it has been _pithily set forth in his news- paper column by that ablest of Lib- aral commentators, Bruce Hutchison.
Not long from: now. Hutcheson reminds-uS, the nation will live under

adian suppose that the arrival of a Sharp, a Hellyer, or a Winters, a Robarts, a Roblin‘or a Hees, will solve ‘anything. important? that seems-to be an almost unanimous assumption among’ a people more mesmerized-than the .Russians and Chinese: by the cult of personality In, Canada it is-assumed that any

Planning For Expo
‘The exploits of Expo as the show- piece of our centennial celebrations © next year have been well publicjzed. But our readers may he interested in the latest figures released, which in- dicate that the big show will attract 10 million people. A!most half will “be from the United States, and 300,- 000° are expected to come. from Europe. Tourist spénding will, in- crease $400 million, in-1967~and° for-~ ‘eign exhibitors will spend another $200 million.
“These are staggering figures, and of course we have no means of check- ing ‘them. But they have been given out officially; and it is poirited - out, as well, that while the cost estimate “of. Expo has been criticized for going” up to $83 million, tnghieres gener- ated inside the fence fill total $103 million.
The problem of accommodating visitors is now in a fair way of being solved. There will be some 25,000 hotel rooms available in Montreal— obviously far fewer than needed..So the. planners have convinced a large | number of apartment owners to-run — their- apartments as hotels for~ six months. This way they have added - another 10,000 rooms, many of which will offer cleaning-and meal service. » In July they will begin a campaign to’ convince homeowners to make _ rooms available. And the Quebec gov- ‘ernment has agreed to build an ad- ditional 20,000 to .30,000 camp and trailer sites. All- told, Expo officials expect to have accommodation for
200.000 people a day within a 50-mile
“radius of the city.
