Reports Meeting At Brockville Great Success

The three-day convention at Brockvilie, Ont, of thaCanadian Federation of Agriculture was a great ccsss and represents an- otbler lesto in the growing importance and significance of organized agriculture on national economic problems. Mr. I... P. [Mf- Isaao, Extension Branch,‘ Prqviri- oial Department of Agriculture. told The Guardian yesterday. Mr. Mofeaac returned to Charlotte- town yesterday.

The three main. questions which came up for most discussion at the conference, Mir. McIsaac said, were: Dominion marketing legis- lation; distribution of Western coarse grains and protein feeds; and the allowing of oleornargarlne to be manufactured in or import- od into Canada.

Mr. Molsaso said the conference una.‘ ‘y decided to urge the Dominion Government to institute new marketing legislation, and to rectify the present unsatisfactory distribution of Western coarse grains and. feeds. He said the Conference also icoornmended that the Dominion Government ban the manufacture and sale of oleo- margarine in Canada. Such action, the conference believed, wouldlbe in the interests of the consumer as well as in the interests of the Canadian butter producer.

Mr. McIsaac re-iterated the opinion of the Hon. J. G. Gard- iner, Federal Minister of Agricul- ture, that the Canadian Federat- ion of Agriculture is now recog- nized as the voice of Canadian farmers from coast to coast Mr. Gardiner, in this connection, head expressed his belief in the solid- ity, the possibilities, and the value of the organization both to Can- adian farmers and. the Dominion Cabinet.

other resolutions at the confer- ence Mr. Mclsaac stated, dealt with rural health, airport markets, fertiliser problem's, international ommodity agreements. price re- lotions, soil conservation and re- clamation, and farm income tax. All were discussed in detail and will be presented by the Federat- ion Executive to the Dominion Cabinet in the near future.

Mirs. Malcolm MlwLeod. Lorne Valley, and Mr. RA. Prontt. Free- town, remained over for further discussions and the election of officers.

In the meantime. the preparat- inr. of a brief for submission to the Dominion Government, and the simplification of agricultural policies are engrossing the atten- tion of the directors.

crease of over 1G points. This in- dex is now up to 146 and some enperts enpect it to surmount the 150 marl: before it tempers off. Translated into Dercentases this means a rise in the average week- ly earnings of 7.5 per cent, during- the period referred to, while- the rise ln the cost of living index was 13.3 per cent.

‘ Wage mites Cited

"Wages were highest in tho Province of British Columbia. and lowest in the Maritime Provinces. However, Windsor, Ont, paid the highest average weekly wage 946.50 of any Canadian city where re- corm were examined and Saint John, N. 8., the lowest average of $82.18. This being the case what must the average weekly wage have been in the City 0d’ Char- lottetown when the minimum wage in some cases is leu than $15.00 per week? In view of the above situation my contention, that milk prices in this area should be less than» any oi’ the above areas. seem reasonably justified.

"When milk subsidies ceased to obtain during the latter part of ths year 1946 pasteuri-e-d milk products advanced to 14c per quart as of Jan. 1st, 1947, and due to the Dominion Government's removal of subsidies on coarse grains late last fail the price of ordinary mill feeds and concen- trates rose to a new high thus necessitating a demand for an increase in the price-of fluid milk on the part of the primary pro- dueer.
