"The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than the Weakest Ink".

('iIARL()TTETOW'N, MONDAY. NOV. 19, 1901

No Price Tags

With A heated general election cam- paign nearing its close in Ontario, the Fi- nancial Post complains that on far toogmany political promises, there is nary a sign of a price tag, no hint of the bills in taxes that must follow as surely as night follows the day.

"Even after making due and generous allowance for the difference between pre- election promises and actual delivery,” it says, "it must be apparent to all but the most. gullible that we are drifting into pretty deep water. No reputable firm of- fers a product to the public without the price tag being clearly displayed. Only trouble results for both seller and buyer when someone agrees to take something he can't really afford.

ttUnless we put a stop to this costly business in political campaigns, unless we insist on the real price tag being firmly attached to every promise, we are going to wake up some morning and find that either the state or the bailiff has taken over."

Here is another phase of electoral re- form that might well be included in the proposals for discussion by our Federation of Agriculture.

Savinggi he Soil

l;'r:nciicial effects of rain are well known. but r-oil damagc front the force of falling: raindrops is often overlooked. "Farm News" quotes a research authority as stat- ing that the weight of water falling on an acre of land in an inch of rain is nearly 110 tons, and the drops striking bare soil splash about 22.5 tons of clay or loam.

Water is as important as fertility for growing crops so it is essential to hold it where it falls. Experiments at the Swift Current Soil Research Laboratory show that an inch of rainfall on a bare clay.or loam soil reduces the infiltration rate to approximately one-third of an inch an hour. if the rainfall is of greater intensity than this, the excess will become the runoff wa- icr. This runoff becomes very high during an intense rain. and is capable of carrying :1 great load of soil with consequent severe erosion.

Nature's answer is a cushion of organic matter of plants or dead undercomposcd plant material. This breaks the force of the falling raindrops and no soil is lost, but the water gently finds its way into the sub- soil for storage and future use by growing crops. 1'

The simplest way to save the soil and hold the rain where it falls. is to protect the surface of the soil from the force of the raindrops with a s'vil:xhlc plant or straw mulch cover. .

international Wheat Agreement

Thc lntt-rnzitionnl Wlwnt .X'.'l'0Ulll('.lll,l now in its third year of operation, has sometliing over 31 year to run before reach-l

ing its expiry date on .iuly Ill. 01953. Its. operations will shortly be due for close: scrutiny by farmers and their oi',2aI1iza- tions, as well as by the governments of: importing and exporting countries.

Article 22 of the Agreement requires the International Wheat Council to form- ulate its recommendations and make them known to both importing and exporting countries on or before July 31, 1952. The Canadian Government, with a represent- ative on the Council, will undoubtedly be interested in the probable effect of such recommendations on wheat marketing pol- icy in this country. It is reasonable to ex- pect, therefore, that the wheat policy will almost certainly be brought under review during the current session of the Federal Parliament. -

The Minister of Trade and Commerce recently announced that Canada ,will con- tinue to charge an additional six cents carrying charge on wheat sold under the International Wheat Agreement; Australia and the United States also continue to make this additional charge. The right of the exporting countries to levy these carrying charges under the terms of the Agreement has been questioned by a number of im- porting countries, including the United Kingdom. Protest has been lodged with -the International Wheat Council and a ruling is expected to be given at the next meeting of the Council toward the end of October. '

Friendly With Tina Soviets

Whatever they may be politically, the social relationship of the Canadian Govern- ment with that of the Soviet is of the friendliest. The Montreal Gazette announces that the Russian Embassy at Ottawa was busy with entertaining when the Western World launched its peace offensive recent- ly. Some 350 guests turned up to partake of rare champagnes, delicious caviar and eye-catching salads as Russials official rep- resentatives in Ottawa celebrated the 34th anniversary of the founding of the Soviet state. Prime Minister St. Laurent was among them. Perhaps he remembered a previous occasion when he was photograph- ed with officials beneath the largcr-than- lifc portrait of Joseph Stalin hanging in the Embassy's square hall. Finance Min- istcr Abbott dropped in briefly as repre- sentative of the Government. The External Affairs Department sent along its chief protocol. The old Charlotte Street res- idcnce was jam-packed with visitors. But it was evident that, to an increasing extent, Diplomatic Row was sending junior officers, with their chiefs-despite the excellent cuisine--staying home.

Reference wus made recently to the old City fire bell. named BIS Donald after Fire Chief Donald lliuciiinnon, which became crack- cd while being run violently dur- ing :1 serious fire on Oct. 28. 1377- It was located in the tower of the old wooden Market l3uildlnS- mid its repair was entrusted to James Butcher. The crack was. found to be two fort six inches in length. A-:cor(lingto Thelixantincr of Nov. 20. 1877. Mr. Butcher did a SODA rrpalr job. but the t'ity Council thought otherwise. iihcu his bill of 570 for slitting the bell was presented. the Council complained "that the work wus not satisfact- ory. as a crock was reported vis- ible five inches above the end of the slit, and that Mr. Butcher had agreed to do the work for 540." They thought it better to send the bell back to the found- ers and get a new one.

Mr. Butcher argued that it cost him 560 for labour alone. that he hnd bored 3. hole an inch find a half above the original crack but that during the operation it ex- tended an additional seven inches. He then bored nbove the now- made crack and slltted it down- wnrds. He thought the sum of

Prince Edward Island does not. import. dairy products, but Nova Scotia and New Brunswick obtain large supplies from Upper Canada while Island firms ship much of their butter and cheese over long freight. hauls to Central Canada and the Western Provinces. One of the main reasons for all Island cheese not being consumed in the Maritlmea is that it. is not. pro- cessed or packaged in sufficient variety to meet modern consumer demands.

In our dairy industry, as a re- sult of inefficiency within, and competitive selling between some of our smaller plants, great losses are suffered. As I result of this hit.-and-mils marketing and luck of control over the manufacturing of milk and cream, the farmers in central and casbern parts of the Island Province Ire losing enough to pay for I new creamer-y com- pletely equlpped, in Charlottetown at least every five years.

In 1951, Ilthough the price was higher, the number of farmers sending cream to factories drop- pad to about 1000 below the 1950 figures. Although I shortage of labor must. be cited as 3. factor, the most. important reuon for this drop can be traced to the lad: of electricity to operate milking ma- chines, lights, iynter systems, etc. Dairy production has in fact in- creased in Ireoa where electricity- is available. Another fIctor this year is the higher prices being of- fered for beef cattle and the re- sultant choose to beef production where the colf.instend of the mm. milks the cow.

At the present time in Prince Edward Island, there are fifteen creameries, nine cheese lnctong. and three ice cream plants. Com-V parative figures for the arms, annual production and crnzsunip. tion of dairy products fur the Maritime: for the your will and 1950 are as follows:

deficiency area.

Pork production figures change from year to year according to the price, but consumption figures fol. low the price trend also. There. fore we can use the official 1949 figures as an illusi.ralluu. in 19-19, there were about 290.000 hugs pro. duced in the Mnritimes which would average about 1.30 lbs. of meat each, giving us 43'; million lbs. of pork products.

The average consumption rate of pork products for Canada that year was 58.8 lbs. per person. which means that. the people of the three Maritime Provinces pro- bably used over 66 million lbs. of pork. such figures indicate that we are actually a. deficiency area. Yet,what. do we find in the price situation, in respect to both pro- ducers ond consumers? Instead of prices of livestock to producers be- ing established according to l0CIl demand in a deficiency mi, prices are continually established on the assumption that the Mail- tlmea is I surplus area and that we must: accept prices on the Montreal market. (which is the nearest. large distributing center), less freight and handling cnarsef from the Maritimes.

I I 0

Actually, Maritime prices should. if the supply and demand formula were really allowed to work, be based on Montrenrplul the coat of getting the shortage down here. This would mean three cents per pound extra. However. if all Marl- time hog production were distrib- uted in the Maritime: (most. of it is, at. present) and even if oddit- ional hogs were imported from Upper Cunada.t.hia would mean at least two cents per pound, or 83-09 per Ivei-ago hog more, that. P.E.l. farmers should be getting.

The number of hogs now mark- eted from Prince Edward Island each year averages about 96.000 through packing plants mul 10.000 small pigs and breeding stock shipped Ilive. On the market this means an average total loss of at lent. 8288.000 per year.
