Reviews Poultry Industry I In Prince Edward Island

F.ti'nt cash income for select- .-.t poultry products (exclusive of lu.'ke)'s. ducks and scan) ll l'.tuC2 Edward Island during was is seen to be up about two million and a half dollars mall than in I854.

This was shown in the report .t the poultry industry in Prince llriward island prepared by M1. Parks. economist for the Univer- &lI,V 0! New Brunswick and sub united by him at the Atlantic t't-uvinces Economic Council tttt-cling held yesterday here Mr- Parks' report show! that the poultry industry accounts for mt-Ive per cent of the total farm .nt-ome for uk ISIIl1d-

In his general recommenda- ...ns for improvement ol the in- tmslry. Mr. Parka suggests rais- m; the individual output to I .:mt-9 efficient level without piac lll.' it on a strictly commercial tut-ts: to improve tht (IUCIIW 0' .-1'.-.s being produced and to re- mzanizc the marketing system. FUIIILY LABOUR

The report goes on to state that labour engaged in the poul- trv industry is mostly of the fam- tlv type which would not be oth- ct -use utilized. The fact also that my capital outlay is relatively .mali leads to the recommenda- Inn that it is desirable that the -tutu.-try be perpetuated in the l'vuvtnt'c.

trm flock would have to be re- tll.tl'Cd by large enterprises pro- .tm-tng perhaps 10.000 smaller .5...-ks four times a ycnr to cai- tr to the current market for Illtlller type chickens.

IIISCOURAGING FACTORS

Ilmvever a number of factors I'll-'('iiilrBglnll this type of indus- Ill' are noted. one of these is the l.tt'l that substantial market out- ll'lS not presently -vailable would h.tte to be found.

Ordinarily commerical poultry pH)(IllCIIOll can be expected in the vicinity of centres of consid- l"'.lbI9 population where demand on the product is high. it is vm-unlit that although such pres- rnv markets could be expanded. I'v NICE Edward island is not stra- tr u-ally situated for a large mmmercial enterprise.

in view of the fact that poul-

try raising can be more about mically carried out on the 13 a.":7'".i'i"......'””. i:.:::'.'".t ":3 vs

of Prince ldward lslaad could be utilised to better advantage.

Commercial poultrrproductloa on a large scale would

for potato. dairy and livestock production. diversion to special- ized poultry enterprises would na- turally meet a strong psyeholot cal and soclnlogical barrier. MARKETING POSSIIILITIES

Four alternative methods for the organization ol the market- ing facilities for the poultry pro- ducts of Prince Edward Island can be advanced: til the con tinuance of the present method, t2) the continuance of the pres- ent method supplemented by a central sales agency (5) the es- tablishment of a central special- ized egg grading station with or without central facilities for the eviscerating and processing of Poultry or a number or such plants to serve various sections of the province. and 14! the inte- grated marketing and proces- sing plants where the poultry and egg operations would engage a part of the total plant capacity.

in I956 there were 62 egg grad- ing stations in Prince Edward island. a number which has re- mained unchanged in recem years. The efficiency of this large number of grading stations de- pending on an industry the size of that in Prince Edward Islam! raises an important question.

in 1956 the average output of eggs per grading station was 57.- 564 dozen which was approxi- maiely 40 per cent of the aver- age output per plant in the whole of Canada. about in per cent of the average output per station in Nova Scotia, 94 per cent of the average in New Brunswick, 54 per cent of the average in Sas- katchewan and do per cent of the average in Manitoba.

In addition, fluctuations in egg output and fluctuations in total station yreccipts suggest seasonal ineffcciencles due to the inabili- ty to maximize the use "pf plant and equipment during periods of low production. ' HANDLING COSTS

The major economic at against this large number of small plants must be based. it seems. an the point of efficiency and its effect on egg quality and prices. There can be no doubt that the low receipts of the sta-

tlons make lor hlg-h'liandling coats and that in a smaller num- ber at larger plants eeonontlen tlotlcdale could be attained which it provide lower unit costs. However, there is another side ti his question which must be con- .I

ll .

Indications are that the egg grading station in Prince Ed- ward Island are, by and large. not specislixed operations but ra- ther form part of a business where the function of handling eggs is only partol the total op erations. Under these conditions the subject of efficiency can be looked at in a different light and can be considered as pan of the efficiency of the entire operation.

At the same time many of the egg grading stations are opera- ted by local merchants who may be thought of as performing a service to the community egg producers by, for example, the exchange of merchandise for egg and by facilitating their local dia- posai. This is a non-commercial method of marketing eggs and is a reflection of the noncom- mercial nature of production.

This situation shows a cer tain similarity to conditions in the Prairie Provinces where in 1955 there were 148 grading sta-. tlons in Alberta, 92 in Saskatche- wan and 96 in Manitoba.

, THE "HAPPY" MOVIE THAT IS THBILLING FANS

Premier Flemming at New Brunswick saki yesterday a royal commission should investigate Canada's money and financial system.

He said at the Atlantic pra- mters conference the countrys' money policies - sapeciall, the current tight money restrictions -bear too hard on the Atlantic region and should be reviewed. Premier Flemming said the monetary system hasn't been carefully examined since ms, just before the Bank of Canada was created.

"Is our present monetary and financial structure really suited to the needs of the Canadian economy in the mid-nth cen- tuy? Can it not be made more flexible so as to meet to some degree the needs of particular rcglons'."' i

All the efforts of Atlantic re- ion citizens to help improve their lot would be wasted if they were faced constantly with a national money policy unsuited to their needs.

N0 PRESSURE .

Mr. Flemming said the policy of credit restriction- of high in- terest rates - was supposed to check pressure on a scarce sup- ply of resources; but there was no such pressure in the Atlantic region.

In this part of Canada retail trade in the first six months of
