"I-would like at this time to commend all the non-agricultural citizens of this province who have stood lovlllv in swoon of our INF)? '”'duatry through the whole period. I would like to make spec- ial mention of the splendid sup- port given us by the newspapers through their editorials and other columns.

"Now we farmers hear a lot, of course. about the large quantity of margarine that is being smuggled into the Province and used in place of butter. We are not unduly alarmed as the quantity” is not sufficient to make much difference in the consumption of butter. we do find the principal offenders are the poor (7) people who travel ex- tensively in their fine automobiles and bring - supply of margarine back with them from Florida or other extended tr ps throughout Canada. andthe .

Mint Not Relax

"in conclusion, I would say we must not relax our efforts in any- way. We as farmers must produce economically the highest quality dairy foods that can be produced anywhere, at a price our people can afford to pay for them. We must also keep up our advertising programme and increase the con- sumption of these fine dairy foods in Canada. And to contimie to be in a position to demand the same consideration and protection as other industries. If in the opin- ion of our government the time ever comes when our industries do not need further protection, we as farmers are quite prepared to go along with the other groups. '"Dr. H. H. Hannam repeated this challenge at the C.F.A. meeting in Victoria this year, when he said: 'Once again the farmers of Can- I3 af 'iaileng-- other industries to

Reviews Year's Activities "The year 1952," he said. "has

For all of Can- ada, it has been estimated at over seventeen billion pounds. However we hope that this situation may never develop again, and in that case we are not likely (to have many surpluses of dairy products in Canada.

By the holding

"The real problem we have had

to face in lp52 has been a sharp decline in the price of dairy pro- ducts and beef. The average price

milk produced on the farm

dropped 10.2 per cent. while beef dropped a total of 30 per' cent.

It perhaps not generally realized

CHAR LOTTETOWN

that the dairy inchletry provides about 80 per cent of all beef eaten in Canada. You may readily see how these lower prices have con- tributed to an alarming decrease in the income of dairy farmers. And that is not all. Along with the de-l crease in revenue we have been subjected to a sharp increase in costs of production. The dairy farmer is being handicapped by the inflationary trend we are oper- ating under, which stems largely from short hours of labor and a wage rate in industry with which the dairy industry cannot compete. There is no hope whatever. as far as I can see, that this situation of short hours and high pay in in- dustry is going to be discontinued but rather may be further in- creased. More Important Features

"The dairy industry therefore cannot be regarded as a big money making industry and I do not be- lieve it will ever develop to be such. It has, however, many more important features that should commend it to our farmers, and I feel at this time of crisis we must keep these benefits before our peo- ple. In Eastern Canada and es-

pecially ln P. E. I. dairylng is the one industry that is both basic and fundamental to the economic de-

velopment ami security of our people. There is no better known way to keep up the fertility of the soil than by grassland farming or a. program of mixed farming with livestock as a base.

”'I”here are two immediate prob- lems facing us. The efficiency of our farm units and the protection of our industry from unfair com- petition and sale of imitation pro- ducts. The first is an individual problem. and must step up our production and lower our costs by improved methods, and general ail-round efficiency. Farmers must provide much more of the feed consumed by the cows on their

own Iarms. Any farmer who thinks he can buy the feed for his cows under the present price

structure at least, and have ltny profit at all, is just fooling himself. Snags

"I am not going to pose as an authority on the use of silage in the dairy barn, for I have used it only one year. I do feel, however, that there is a. future in this country for the use 01 silos. I am using corn silage this winter, and it has increased my production per cow. and in that way is'low- erlng my costs. Whether you use

For ins. e it would never pay a farmer to gather gran over a large acreage and rot) his cows of suffic- ient summer grass and winter hay, when he could very well fill his silo with five acres under corn. Conditions on our farms is pos- sible to know by the first of June if you have sufficient grass in sight. If you decide that gram will be scarce there is still time to plow your land and grow a good crop of corn. Loafing Barns

"We hear agreat deal today about loafing barns, and I have seen a number of them. I am still not convinced that this sys- tem will solve many of our prob- lems. I am not even sure that we can winter high-producing dairy cows in this cool. damp Eastern climate, with a cheaply construct- ed barn. In other words, the loaf- ing barn will solve some problems but will inevitably bring others with it one farmer on the Pacific Coast, with a fine herd of dairy cattle says you need more ex- perienoed help to look after milk- ing cows in a pen barn.
