Annual Maotint 1052

This years annual meeting will pg held in the Agricultural Room at the Vocational School on Wed- "egdjy, January 9th at 1:30 and 1,30 pm. The afternoon session will be attended by the directors at the County Federations and di- rectors representing member or- ganizations.

This meeting will be the busi- ness session of the Federation while the night meeting will be open to all members and others Interested in agriculture. This meeting will be addressed by Mr. sydney Oram. President of the Nova Scotla Federation of Labor, an affiliate of the Canadian Con- gress of Labor.

organized Labor and organized Agriculture do not always see eye to eye so far as tiie policies of one another are concerned. yet there is room for more understanding and possibly more co-operation he- twecn the largest numerical groups in our economy.

some Federation members may pcrhapslwondcr why the general membership is not asked to at- tend the afternoon meeting, this may perhaps be better understood if it is realized that from the County annual meetings is suppos- cd to come an expression of the members wishes and opinions and the annual meeting on the 9th then becomes one to take defin- ite action on the County business.

Dr. E. Hope, Economist on Beef Prospects

The address given by Dr. Hope "Outlook for Canadian Agriculture 1952" at the annual meeting of the Nova Scotia Farmers As- sociation contains a wealth of in- iereestlng information on pros- pects for the various branches of agriculture.

The complete address is quite a lengthy one, but we feel that many farmers, particularly those considering switching from dairy to beef cattle. will be interested

in Dr. Hope's appraisal of the beef outlook. "Numbers of beef animals on

farms declined for a number of years, but the upturn in numbers has now commonccd. The low point in beef cow population was reached in 1949. By 1951. after the second year of increasing num- bers. the beef cow population had increased 230.000 head from the low point in 1949. Steers and heifers reached their low point a year later. in 1950. Both types of animals showed an increase in numbers by June of 1951. These data support the view that there has been a definite upward turn in the beef cattle production cycle.

The numbers of beef cattle on farms are at record levels. At the same time that beef cattle pop- ulation was belng built up in the United States, markctings of beef The same situation took place in Canada. This is the usual situation just before prices begin to turn down. The withholding of breeding stock reduces the total marketings al- though total potential supplies are increasing. It gives the illusion that beef supplies are very short when in fact it is only market sup- plies which are short. not total supplies in all positions.

Cattle slaughter has been falling

in the United States for four years and in Canada for three years. As this has taken place at s time of rising price levels due to infiltration. beef cattle prices have risen to the highest level in history. and what is more important, to a very high level compared with prices for dairy products. This has resulted in a shift out of dairy production into beef production, particularly during the past year and we have cvldence that more of a shift will take place in 1952. .'rhe beef industry is character- ized by a long cycle in produc- tion and prices. since it takes time to build up herds and it takes time to liquidate them. The boot cattle industry in Canada and the United States is rapidly building up to the point where it is ready in start a substantial upswing in marketlngs.

This increase may start in 1952 or it may be driayctl for one more year. But once the marketings increase they will rise for foitr to six years and priccs for beef uiil fall sharply compared with U1" prices for other farm products.

Should lnrlustrinl employment slacken in 1953 and 1954 we could cxpcct a vcr,v' sharp fall in beef prices. The squeezing out of mar- rrinal prorluccrs would result in VNZV licavv markciin-.'s. in No- vcmber 1951, the U. S. Bureau of Azrlcuitural Economics !lllnllllt'l'l tip flit" beef situation in those words.

Now would appear to be a very risky time to shift from dairy cat- tle to beef cattle. The prospects are for declining dairy produc- tion"and increasing beef produc- tion.

Junior Farmers Short Course

This week the Junior Farmers. under the direction of Depart- ment of Agriculture officials and assisted by various farm leaders, are holding their annual Leader- ship Course.

We like the idea and we feel that the young people attending this Course are representative of those who will make the great- est contribution to our Island farm life in the years to come.

Replies to questions asking what type of life they plan to lead brought out the information that over 90 per ccnt of the group wanted to live on farms.

Disease Free 'Livcstock

Tito livestock producer has among many other difficulties. the ever present problem of loss- es caused by disease. In this Province. due to the fact that we are an Island we have natural protection against the spread of disorders of an epidemic nature.

This preferred position can he maintained only if farmers excr- clse caution in movement of live- stock from one part of the Prov- ince to another and in particular movement of livestock of all clos- ses into the Province from outside sources. . .

At the present time with the prevalence of Newcastle disease. one of the most serious known to affect poultry, more than usual caution should be exercised in the purchase of day-old chicks. So far as is known. Prince Edward Island poultry is free from'this disorder and as our Island Hatcheries are capable of supplying all the chicks required. "Buy At Home". would appear to be a good policy.

Eastern Agricultural Conference

One of the major achievements in the Canadian Federation of Agriculture has been the bringing of the eastern and western farm- or together and the harmonizing of their different ideas on mut- ual problems into policies which could be said to be truly national

and having support of all sec- tlons of the industry. For some years it has been

the practice in the west. prior to the annual meeting of the C. F. A. for western delegates to meet to arrive at agreement on policies to be promoted at the national gathering. For the past two years the provinces, east of Manitoba. have been doing likewise. so that they might be in a position to jointly agree on and promote action beneficial to the east.

Thus we have the Eastern Agri- cultural Conferencc of Federation delegates, meeting in Montreal on January 15th prior to the nation- at meetings of the C.F.A. and the Dairy Farmers of Canada.

Yarmouth Revolt Our newsletter of last week gave the impression that Yar-

mouth County farmers were out to wreck .the Maritime Feder- ation of Agriculture or at least clip its wings.

However, this agitation which now appears to have been a one man revolt was not even men- tioned at the annual meeting of the Farmers Association. The re- portcr who wrote the article for the Montreal farm weekly evi- dently allowcd his enthusiasm to magnify a mole hill into n moun- n a.

Holstein Establishes Breeding Record Test

TORONTO. Jan. 2 -- A Canadian bred Holstein cow developed in the U. S. A. has established an Official World Record for yearly production of milk regardless of times milked daily over all ages and breeds. She is Green Meadow Lily Pabst, bred by Fred W. Goble. Woodstock, Ont.. and owned and developed by Merle H. Green. Elsie. Mich. Her production of 42,816 lbs. milk containing 1246 lbs. butter-fat was made in 365 dsyslon three times a day milk- ing and her production was weigh- ed at each milking. She replaces as the world champion yearly milk producer ,on official test Carnation Ormsby Madcap Payne. another U. S. Holstein owned by Carnation Milk Farms. Seattle. Washington. with 41,943 lbs. milk.

The" previous Official World Champion for yearly milk pro- duction on three times-a-day milking was the Canadian Holstein Re-Echo May Burke, owned by J. E. I-Iouck. Brampton, Ont.. with
