Potato Meetings

The potato meetings held in rtgnish and 0'Leary were well . 4 ‘, well conducted and in oppor- tunity for expression of opinions in both sides of the question.

We have always been in favour of joint political meetings believ- ing that the voter is placed in I better position to decide when the pros and cons of any argu- ment are presented at the same time.

The O’Leary meeting produced a motion to i ‘ “ a second question on the ballot, a question which would have sought the opin- ion of the growers on the merits of a central agency or one desk selling. After considerable dis- cussion the motion was put to the meeting and lost by a large majority.

At 0'Leary the secretary of the Potato Dealers Association ap- pealed for greater harmony and more cooperation between grow- ers and dealers. This suggestion we endorse as one which we be- lieve growers will welcome and one which be hope the pouto dealers will actively promote.

The potato meetings will con- clude on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. with meetings at

Suuris, Charlottetown and Sum- morside. Farmers are urged to at- tend these meetings as a means of gaining information in assisting them towards a reasoned decision on the question.

Dealers and Traders

Lest statements appearing in the public press develop the belief that we are hostile in principle to deal- ers. traders and those engaged in other \vorthy ‘occupations, we wish to state that the contribution made by such people is fully appreciat- ed and admitted. The merchant and trader can and usually does render a valuable service, a ser- vice which at times is carried on in the face of difficulties brbught on by conditions outside the Prov- ince. The farmer is justified in demanding the best service pos- sible and maximum returns for his product and is equally justified in criticizing or attempting to im- prove the system when there is evidence to indicate that the sys- tem may be inefficient or incom- plate.

We grant the honest business man every right to conduct his business. but also reserve for the farmer the right to remove any bad apples that may appear in the barrel. We do not question any

indlvldual's right to I share of the farmer‘: business. but we do ob- Ject to business people attempting to do the farmer's thinking. We also object to a state of mind which may be termed economic fatallam which produces the belief that any change in marketing ‘in- GVIUIJLY leads to disaster for all mankind. White Collared Farmers

A recent suggestion that we should go back to our farm and along with us, we assume, all the other farmers in executive posi- tions with farm organizations. if carried out, would indeed have a crippling effect upon the activities of numerous bodies in Canhda. bodies which we believe it can be fairly maintained play an import- ant part in the economic life of Canada. It has been theexperience of farm organizations that prac- ticing farmers can render a more effective type of leadership in these organizations than is the case with officials having an ur- ban background or lacking in practical farming experience.

Some of the larger organiza- tlons which may be mentioned as staffed with farmers are the Canadian Federation of Agricul- ture, The Dairy Farmers of Can- ada and its publicity section, The Manitoba Wheat Pool. The On- tario Hog Marketing Board. The Catholic Farmers Union of Que- bec and also the Co-up-Federe of that Province. Farmer officials in such organizations as these are simply the farmer's hired men and for the most part their ser- vices are retained on the same basis as that of any other hired man —- the value of the service rendered.

The Plebisclte

As press-‘ntly planned the mar- keting ballots will go into the mail on May 24. with a deadline for mailing back on the 20th. All ballots will be returned to the re- turning officer, Sheriff John L. Benton and be in his care under lock until counted by three scrut- ineers who will be completely in- dependent of the Potato Board.

Every effort will be made by the Provincial Board to conduct the election fairly and every pre- caution taken to prevent practices which could in any way reflect upon the validity of the final re- sults.

The Potato Board

There would appear to be a tendency in some quarters to view the Potato Board as a one- man organization dominated by a

manager who is free to make de-

cisions and initiate policies with- out being held acEountable for them. Such a belief is so far from fact that it should hardly be -nec- esssry to discuss it. but never- theless we feel it necessary to point out that the Potato Board is composed of ten members and that.before any action is taken the majority approval of the Board members is necessary. Our personal knowledge of the Board members indicates that they are a reliable. responsible group pos- sessed of good judgment. but not necessarily infallible and genuine- ly interested in directing the po- tato industry in the best interest of growers in general .The gen- eral welfare of the growers is the Board's chief concern and it cannot be or should not be ex- pected to make provision for pro- tecting the special interest of any individual or small group of in- dividuals.

Spring Prospects

At this time farmers and live- stock are looking forward with hope to the appearance of na- ture's great blessing. grass. The hope has been dampened up to early this week by a cool dry spring. but the rains have come and if followed by warm weather grass in abundance will shortly be a reality and the cattle once more turned outdoors to become their own mowing machines.

Butter production for the last week of April amounted to H4,- 380 pounds an increase of 40,000

pounds over the corresponding week in 1953. Should growing conditions be favourable milk

production will likely make a new record this year.

On the farms about, men and horses and machines were busy in the fields.

Here with a team one uaretully fashioned drills for turnips; there another harruwed, and beyond in the first work of their cropping, farmers were at "the spreading" of manure.

“We chuckled recently at two farmers discussing the merits or otherwise of hog raising.

“Do you suppose a farmer can buy his little pigs. store-feed them and make a profit. that. would pay him for his time and labor?" one queried with some doubt.

“Depends on how you value your time and labor" the other offer- ed. "In any case." he added, “you would have the manure!"

"But a farmer doesn't live by that." the first replied without thought.

“The more he lives by it, the better farmer he is. I should say .. . And thats the very reason every farmer should grow plenty hogs or other livestock. Its not perhaps for immediate gain but for warrant of continued good farming along the years—or that's the way I see lt."
