known reserves of uranium ore have increased by an estimated 109,100,000 tons in the last 1% years, it was learned Monday.

Official government figures now place the reserves at 334,100,000 tons, compared with 225,000,000 at the end of 1056.

In the Western world, Canada is second both in reserves or uranium ore and in production of uranium oxide. South Africa is first in reserves and third in pro- duction, the United States first in production and third in reserves.

Last year the U.S. produced 0,200 tons of oxide, Canada 6,433 and South Africa 5,699. ,

A mines department official said Monday Canada may over- take the U.S. in production this year.

of figures for Northern Ontario’s Blind River district, largest sin- gle uranium mining area in the, Western . World.

A new survey by the geological survey of the federal mines de- partment estimates that the Blind River area contains 320,000,000 tons of‘uranium ore.

This means the area’s [reserves are 95,000,000 tons in excess of the all-Canada figure of‘225,000,— 000 at Dec. 13, 1956.

The mines department esti-' mates the Canadian reserves of 334,100,000 tons of ore contain about 345,000 tons of uranium oxide, up 108,000 over the 1956 es- timate of 237,000.

AMONG THE” FARMERS

Federation *of Agriculture Newsletter

MISUNDERSTANDING

‘ It has been brought to our at- tention that some farmers be- lieve that some or allot the June set-aside is being used by our own dairy factories for at- vertising their own particqu products. This is a mistaken be list which should be corrected. All the money thus collected is remitted to the Toronto ,ofifice of the Dairy Farmers of Canada and is used for‘national promo- tion and advertising. The dairy plants do not receive anything fiorthcwonkwhichtheydoin making this collection. That is their contribution to national ad- ventjsin-g.

Further it should be pointed out that all the different plants in the province contribute to the Dairymen’s Association money which issued for advertising work. In addition many of the plants spend very considerable amounts of their own ,fiunds in advertis- ing dairy products. The point to be emphasized is that the local plants do no get any of the June set-aside for advertising. r

Present indications are that due to increased production in the month of June this year the June set-aside total of 1958 will be greater than the case in 1957.

‘FARM ACCIDENTS

The last two Weeks have seen, the death of tum prominent Is- land farmers. One from 'an automobile accident and as the result of tractor over-turn- tng. In addition another lam or had his tractor back over him causing quite serious There were probably many more mishaps which escaped public attention, mishaps which might very readily under sligh- tly different circumstances would have been very serious in their result.

Certainly it needs to be em-

phasized that term tractors are .

,potential killers and must be handled with the very “greatest-

care. It is not unlikely that even . v

with all precautions that acci- dents can be completely elimin- ated. However, many of those so called accidents are really not such at all as the events lead- ing up to them and the con- dition which produce them can be clearly established. If it were

possible for people‘to be more accident conscientious and to be constantly on/the alert for al- iminating some of these causes then at least a nuniber of thew

tragedies might be eliminated. HOG VOTES

July 25 is the big day in rural Ontario for on that date the hog producers of that province will decide for or against retain— ing their hog marketing board. It is estimated that approxima- tely seventy-four thousand are el— igible to vote, the plebiscite to carry must show a favourable vote of two~thirds of those going to the polls. Probably the most contentious issue in the program is involved in the policy of the board in directing all hogs to assembly points in the first in- stance rather tlhan to the pack- ing plants, ‘

In theory the Boa-rd apparen- tly feels that their bargaining power is lessened if the hogs are in the first instance in the yards of the packet. The strength of the whole operation the Board maintains rests in the fact that the packer must first bid on and buy the hog before he acquires possession of A great deal of interest is being displayed throughout Canada in the outcome of this plebiscite.

The Ontario Hog Boa-rd is one of the largest marketing boards in operation and the result of the plebiscite can have a very hnpor- tant bearing for the future of marketing boards in Canada. FARM INCOME

Cash farm income from the sale of farm products for the first Quarter of 1958 was. es- timated at $604,000,000 up 329,- 000,000 or 5 per cent item the similar period a year earlier. This increase can be attributed in' the main, to larger outputs and higher prices for livestock and livestock products. First— quarter cash returns from the sale of cattle and calves jumped

to $137,098,000 from $97,024,000 in the first quarter of 1957. About two-thirds of the increase in. re- turns from cattle and calves ac- crued to prairie farmers and most of the remainder to On- tario Farmers.

DOUBLE LOSS

It*was an unusual coincidence that Mr. C.F. Bailey after whom the Bailey Arena in Amherst was named should have died the same week as the destruc- tive fire in Amherst. Mr. Bailey who was superintendent of the Fredericton Experimental Farm wasvalso president of the Mari- time Winter Fair for a number of years, under his tenure of artifice the fair was considerably expanded and became one of the best shows east of Toronto.

GRASS AND HAY , Good rains and frequent show— ers have greatly improved the hay crop and maintained pas- tures in good condition. the hay is remaining quite green and heavy clover is still in ideal con- dition for making into silage. Hay production this year will _be very

much heavier and may almost be double that of 1957. Grain is very promising and even by lthe tenth of July some fields were showing signs of lodging— unusually early for that condi- tion.

The early potato fields are now coming out in blossom, certain- ly no crop is much nicer to look at than a clean well cultivated field of potatoes in full blossom. In short, with practically all crops the stage seems to be set for really good production this year.

The first new Island potatoes appeared in the stores about July 12, true they were not all large but at least they were new and probably well supplied with valuable vitamins.

Tch Concessions For Medical Expenses Called Inadequate

OTTAWA tC»P)'—4W. H. McMil- lan (Ir—Welland) said Thursday in the Commonslthat income tax concessions for medical expenses announced in the budget are in- adequate because they affond no relief for lower-income groups.

“They don’t help those who don’t pay income taxes” said

Unemployment Insurance and Farm Labour and another on the relationship of Cooperatives and Marketing Boards.

Also coming before the meet- ing will be government credit programs, vertical integration, old age pensions and social sec- urities policies, possibility of es- tablishing a national foundation for economic and social research in agriculture and St. Lawrence seaway toll policy. All the above are matters which affect the gen— eral welfare of agriculture and in. some cases enter quite intima- tely into the well—being of the individual farmer.

Mr. McMillan, who is a medical dotcor.

.Mr. McMillan spoke as the C o m m o n a considered amend- ments to the Income Tax Act. He centred his comments. on a pro- vision which adds drugs obtained on prescription to the list of items deductible for income tax pur poses. I v . The provision will apply to all such drugs purchased from June 18 on. Taxpayers can deduct those and other allowed medical expenses from income only when the total exceeds three per cent of income.

Fin 3 n c e Minister Fleming Thursday announced one change

from the original budget as- nouncement. Doctors‘ prescnp tions will not have to be written —as first stipulated—and can be ordered or renewed by a tel- ephone call from the doctor to the druggist. But taxpayers seek— ing to benefit must have the pre- scriptions registered by the drug- gist and file receipts for the drug in their income tax return.

EXPENSIVE ITEM

' At the night sitting Mr. Flem— ing said the cost to the treasury of extending tax deductibility for mediCal prescriptions, eyeglasses. artificial eyes, laboratory and diagnostic services and ambu lance trips to and from hospital would run to between $4,000.000 and $5,000,000 annually.

Leon C‘restohl (L — Montreal Cartier) asked whether the provi- sion for ambulance expenses would include the cost of charter-

ing aircraft. tub or w
