.One of the most recent Divi- Ilons is the one dealing with Ex- tension. its main purpose is the co-ordination and dissemination of Information to farmers in the pro- nnce. assisting in solving prob- lems. working with Junior Farm- ' rs organizations and 4-H Clubs.

The Director of the Extension Division is Mr. I. L. Tuplin. As- mciated with him are Mr. C. Keith Clay. Agricultural Representative for Prince County; . . A. Pierce. Agricultural Representa- live for Kings County; and Mr. Allan Palmer, Agricultural Field- lmn for Queens County.

The cadets received training and leadership lectures. along with a sound military drill and proceed- ure basis. These cadets were to become officers in the corps.

"Economists are of the opinion and state. that. barring internat- ional disturbances, agriculture in Canada cannot expect for the next decade and possibly not for the next two decades. prosperity of a general nature. This assumption is based upon the belief that world trade in agricultural products will not tend to increase, except in the case of certain horticultural and tropical products and in tea, cof- fee, and tobacco.

"With a projected increase of ap- proximately one-half million peo- ple per year in the Canadian pop- ulniion, the domestic market in Canada will increase but the pro- duction on Canadian farms. due to mechanization and economic presure. will have the effect of keeping production ahead of de- mand and causing surpluses in

TESTING MILK AND CREAM

”The appointment of check test- ers in the Dairy Division was it forward step providing as it did an important safeguard for our milk producers and relieving the senior officials in that division of certain responsibilities which enab- led them to concentrate on other important matters. We would rc- commend flint in the future. where check testing is done information on those tests be made available to the producers involved.

TRACTORS AND TRAILERS

"It has been brought to the at- tention of the Federation that dur- ing the January period in which highways were closed to heavy traffic that action was brought against certain fnrmcrs for using tractors and trailers of a com- bined weight in excess of load limits. We understand that the tractor and trailer were considered n.-. a single unit and the number of axles involved not taken into consideration. It is recommended that this matter be reviewed and that provisions be made to class this means of transportation as two single units.

"We extend our congratulations to the members. both old and new, upon their election to this House and in particular to the Minister of Agriculture upon his appoint- merit to the Portfolio of Agricult- ure-a portfolio which carries with it the responsibility of administrat- lOil relative to our most import- ant industry.

"Mr. Prcmicr. the large major- ity which your Government holds in this House suggests that our farm people will expect, and have a right to expect the development of strong and positive policies with respect to agriculture and the sol- ution of its problems. We do not expect ever to be in the happy position of being able to state that agriculture has no problems and when we state that in our opinion forces of great magnitude are pressing upon agriculture to its detriment, we are not complain- ing. we are facing realities in the hopp that the great hanges which appear to be imminent will not find our people and our Govern- ments unaware of developing trends and unprepared to adjust to and cope with them.

HIGH COST-LOW RETURNS "Tile problems referred to above are of a two-fold nature brought about on the one hand by the high cost of farm operation and on the other by returns on investment and farm labour much inferior to those existing in many other sect- ors of the Canadian economy which has been enjoying and will likely .continue to enjoy boom wages and

"We have already suggested that this Province has a great stake in agriculture. For this reason we suggest that the present decline in rural population, the difficulties which exist from the standpoint of efficiency in our traditional family farm. and the high cost involved in the setting up of farm operat- ions by our young people are mat- ters which should receive the most careful attention by all Members of this Legislature and indeed by all our citizens both rural and
