How It Hace
Writing in the ,Winnipeg Free Press, Bruce Hutchison recalls that when the greatest of all Canadian de- | cisions was taken, two men—John A. Macdonald and George Brown—faced each other in a shabby Quebec hotel
tion. That’s the big achievement we're preparing to celebrate next year, and it’s worth* being reminded of how it came-about. ne

have decided nothing until athey. had | set up a roval commission, or several, * and waited for. years until iy oe ceived the experts’ advice. Most likely the experts would have .judged the Confederation project impossible, as it certainly was from any technical, non-political pint of view.
Doubtless the commission would still be sitting and taking evidence today. while the nation’s birth was in- definitely “postponed. Instead of a transcontinental state‘we would have-
a library of impressive reports, ex- cellently written, leather-bound and unread.
_Such men as Macdonald and Brown were not afraid to maké up their own imperfect minds and‘ take the con-
‘ sequence at the polls. They were too poor even to hire speech writers from the advertising agencies and’ said what they thought in their own tn- edited words. They issued no official communique, cunningly drafted by
blic relations counsel to be read in a hiedte send and. to please every- body. No trial balloons were flown at Quebec, no secrets leaked through friendly newspapers to test the wind.
_In__those quaintly old-fashioned | times the responsible leaders of gov- ernment and opposition assumed tha, they had the right and obligation to act. Thev acted, and the nation was born.

‘OTTAWA REPORT By Patrick Nicholson:
Greene Discusses Economic Farm Units
An Investment of about $55,000
“incliding 600° “acres of “improv: *

tario dairy farm requires a sli- ghtly higher investment, which would set ‘up a farm including a herd of 30 to 35 cows. _
In a recent speech, Agricul- ture Minister J: J. Greene talk- ed about these minimum invest- ments “required for what are

| period. ido is good news for a .
hungry world. .
Matching the decline in farm ‘population, ue number of indi- vidual farms has fallen from its | | peak figure of 732,858 in 1941 to 480,903. in 1961, he told me Yet ithe cléared Jand has been con- |solidated into larger farm units and the area of improved land has. ctually risen by 10 per

The average Cana- 'dian farm in’ 1941. had machi- nery worth $813. Twenty years later, that average farm was ‘using machinery worth $5,342. A third very significant fea-
ture, saving labour and improv- |
ing efficiency, is the doubling of | the farmer’s purchased supplies expressed as a. percentage of ‘his larger total input. Today's farmer isnot only using more | machinery: he is also buying |
