Farm Prosperity

"When Ilriculture prospers, every element of city life pros- pers." Walter R. Shaw said in I supper meeting address to the members of St. Paul's LIyinen's Association in the Parish hall last evening. Mr. Shaw. who was dealing with "some economic factors relating to P. E. Island." deplored the vacant farm situa- tion and large areas of arable

in the Province. but now unfor- tunately not-yielding anything." I know of districts where Z) and 30 prosperous farms were in op- eration 40 years ago. which are now utterly abandoned." he said

Quoting from figures released in the United States. Mr. Shaw said that farm people were two and I quarter times as valuable in the economy of the country as were city workers. "Seventy per cent of farm revenue was spent and kept in circulation while only fifty per cent of city earn- ed money was kept moving," he said. "We should keep farm earn- ings on I high level. it is far

distributed among ten thousand farmers than if centered among one hundred persons."

Mr. Shaw described the mod- ern methods of farming as com- pared with forty or thirty years ago. and quoted authoratively on the need and cost of essential equipment. Ha traced the potato situation for the past number of years and deplored the situation which exists today under which there is I high duty on ahipments going into the States while po- tatoes from that country are coming to Canada duty free and crowding the Canadian product off the market.

Mr. Shaw said the poultry and hog markets had made good ad- vances over I number of years ago but strange to relate that in dairying. the quantity of milk now available did not exceed that of 40 years ago. ”The farmers of this province have spent over five million dollars since 1943 in grain and fertilizer brought into the country." Mr. Shaw said. "Some relief may be had through the opening of canneries. and improved horticulture and the further development of "ueber- ries and cranberries. We cannot expect to develop great indus- tries here, we must rely on our natural advantages and push for better marketing conditions. Farm products from Ontario and Que- bec are being transported past our doors to the Newfoundland market. "How to bring farms back into production and widen our markets is a serious pro- blem now," Mr. Shaw concluded.

Mr. Shaw was thanked on be- half of the Association by W. R. Brennan.

The meeting was opened with grace by Rev. Canon J. T. Ib- bott who also spoke briefly and pronounced the benediction. Pres- ident Jack Anderson presided. Elliott Brock presided It the piano while George Scantlebury co s' A J the sing-song.

Guests present and welcomed were Rev. E. A. Plercey, Milton. George Earle, St. John's Nfld. and Major T. E. MIcNutt.
