day were annoyed with the sug. gestion that the Agricultural Re- habilitation and Developmentl prognam in this province ap- pears to be relegating agricul- ture to a minor position by the program being slanted toward inuatrial development.
This suggestion was contained in this week's Federation of Agriculture newsletter. which ap- peared in yesterday‘s edition The Guardian.
Premier Walter R. Shaw said "there is obviously a very seri. ous lack of understanding on the part of those taking a stand on the whole resources develop-

Elaborating further on the pro- vincial program, Premier Shaw said “at present, the program calls for an intensive investiga- tion — from Summerside to the end of Prince County —— in what is chiefly an agricultural area. involving a study of agricultural needs. as well as needs of fish- eries and t resources and other things closely asso- ciated with the rural economy.

Describing the ARDA program. the premier said "it definitely involves agriculture and also in- cludes fisheries. forestry. water conservation. handicrafts. adult education, tourist development. natural resources. processing plants and practically every pro- ject that affects the welfare of rural people.
"Surely it is not considered that the establishment of two large processing plants in the province, dealing directly with a diversified production of farmi products and employing large numbers of our rural youth. can be termed non-agricultural. i
“Neither can the development! of our tourist industry. which uSes large quantities of farm products. or the extension of ourI
