AMONG THE FARMERS

Federation of Agriculture Newsle

Sooner or later any young coun- try emerging from the pioneer stage must take stock of the ma terlal resources which nature has provided and take steps to insure that these resources will be main- tained in flt condition and volume for the needs of the nation. In such a country as Canada with vast re- sources of soil. lumber, minerals, water and fisheries and with a comparatively small population scarcity has not been a problem. The time. however. has arrived when our Federal Government is considering the need for a nation- al policy on conservation and reha- bilitatlon.

Conservation and rehabilitation are of particular interest to agric- ulture as the soil unlike oil and minerals is a renewable resource. Soil can and has been maintained in good condition in some parts of the world for thousands of years. Much of the land in Canada has been farmed less than a century and It is stated that one half of its fertility is gone. Such an ap- proach to the handling of soil can- not be prolonged and It must be recognized that the percentage of good arable land to the total area of Canada is small. A national policy relating to this matter is a timely one and may even be over-due.

POWER SAW ' Every age has its particular and typical features and the last few years has witnessed the advent in this province of a mechanical marvel which has freed the woods: man from the back breaking use of the pulp or cross cut saw. Our use of the latter implement leads us to believe that the word "cross" referred to the user. Thirty years ago a gas engine which develop- ed SV: horse power might weight up to 500 pounds and was only) moved with considerable difficul-.- ty. Today a woodaman is ablel to put up in one hand and car- rise easily about a piece of equip- ment which weights less than 20 pounds and which includes not not only a ravenous saw but an Internal combustion engine devel-I oping 5 horse power. I Not long ago we were told by a Ill minent New Brunswick Busi- ness man and farmer that the pow- er saw had been responsible mor than anything else for putting a great number of farmers off the' land in that province. With hand Associated with conservation labour a certain amount of pulp and rehabilitation is the question and lumber had been harvested of land tenure.
