special consideration also is be- ing given to meeting the increasing needs and demands in supplying Newfoundland markets properly. It is hoped that arrangements will soon be worked out to supply this market in rm orderly way and by a direct route for our Island but- ter. cheese. chilled meats and other products. However, working out the details of such an in- tegerated plan will take consider- able time.

Do lhrlms Brlng Progress?

The following story is a. report by Mr.. J. S. Cram from MacDonald College on a recent Farm Forum survey in Quebec. "I-low progress- ive are farm forum members? It's easy for me, or anyone else who has seen the forums at work, to rush in and say: "Don't ask silly questions; they're very progress- ive!" But saying that isn't enough to convince some people; theywant to be shown exactly what the re- sults have been. What's more. many of them -don't think it's enough for a forum to undertake projects. They contend that time spent on these projects has been taken at the expense of actual taming.

It's a point worth investigating. Certainly. getting together once a week and undertaking the odd group project are worth while in themselves. But the real test of a-ny organization lies in whether it helps its metnroers to do better work, or get more out of life. or -make a greater contribution to the general wel.(a.re. In other words. the best criterion of an organiz- ationls worth is the progressive. ness of its members.

How progressive, then. are Que- bec farm forum members? On the whole. they're very progressive- qulte eager to adapt themselves to changing conditions. This has been proven by a 40-point survey made by Floyd F. Griesbach. while he was still Provincial Farm Forum secretary in Quebec. This survey, undertaken to discover the pro- gress of fomm members during the last three years. has unearth- ed a great deal of interesting in- formation.

Covering 296 farmers in 12 (X)I.II'lIr let. it shows that the average farmer taking part in the survey has improved almost 40 percent of his practices in the last three years. it bears out what many people might have said from observation -that the greatest single sign of progress has been rural electrifica- tion; but it also shows that the scale of electrification has been far higher than most people would have guessed, since three out of every four of the families install- ed electrical equipment in their homes and barns. ,

It also points out other things that are not quite so obvious. For example, it shows that two-thirds of the farmers have improved the quality of their livestock, and have fed them better. Another two- thirds have paid more attention to spraying and dusting their gar- dens. Field practices have been streamlined too. Almost six out of every 10 cf the farmers questioned have made better use of manure. improved their methods od cultiv- ation, paid more attention to crop rotation, and applied more fer- tillzera.

Nor have home and community been neglected. some two-thirds of the people represented have taken a bigger part in community activities. and over half of them have stepped up their recreation. Besides electrical equipment being installed in threequarters of the hurries, half of them have had running water laid on, 40 percent of them have put in baths'and flush toilets and 30 percent have remodelled their kitchens accord- ing to modern plans.

Considering the changes in groups of related practices. the area of biggest change was in non- farm activities such as community affairs and recreation. Apparent- ly, a lot of farm families have found that it pays to get out and mingle with your neighbors and enjoy yourself once in a while. Of course, this is a natural and direct outgrowth of the Forum move- ment. And it is interesting to note that districts scoring high in these corrununity activities have tended to do well all along the line."

Word was received today that the National Farm Forum meeting. which was to be held at the Uni- verslty of Malwba in Winnipeg. has been changed to Brandon. It will be held on June 22nd to 24th.

'n'enoh silos Nova Gcotla

The Nova Sootla Department of Agriculture is promoting the dig- ging of pit silos. Tractor shovels are being used and s silo that will hold fifty tons of silage and can be dug in less than two hours for a coat of about 014.00 or 915.00. The success of storing grass silage by this trench silo ar- rangement has met with very def- inite succeea. rt is a common practice. of course. in the old country. where by fertilizing heav- ily. they often cut three it four crops of grass of! the one piece or land each season. it is hoped that our Department of Agriculture will soon institute a policy to encourage the use of grass silage and tr h silos. At least a few exgfirnents at strategic points would be of great value here. where a. later the feeding value in our hay is wasted by late cutting.

Today 8 out of 10 of all farms are using electricity-more all the tl.me. Cooperatives, borrowing funds from the government, did a big part of the job.

These 976 rural clcctric co-ops, plus some other scattered REA borrowers, have put nearly a mil- lion miles 0! power lines into op- eration. serving more than three million rural consumers. New consumers are being added at the rate of 1 every 15 seconds Last year the oo-ops connected 77 per cent of all farms electrified. But there still is a big job to get service to the million farms and hundreds of thousands of other rural places still without it.

The government doesn't own nor operate the REA lines-ethe farm people do. REA has lent to the co- ops and others nearly 52 billion to get the power job done, and nearly 5360 million more in loan applicat- ions are on hand. The co-ops have paid off their loans on schedule- in fact. more than 520 million in advance payments have been made. The co-ops bill their mem- bers for only enough to cover the cost of service plus regular pay- me-nta on the REA loan. the

Ml

loan is paid off. members are credited with their proportionate equity in the system. when the debt is paid off entirely within the 35-year amortization period, the members will own their power facilities outright.

Electrification has worked trem- endous changes in rural life. It is estimated that for every dollar in-

vested in rural power facilities. the farmer invests an additional 54.60 for wiring. plumbing and

electrical equipment.

so this job of co-op-government partnership is a big boost for all the nation's business-and a mighty good investment of the people's credit."

Swine Breeders Be Careful

At the annual meeting of the Canadian Association next Tuesday the Swine Breeders of the Prov- ince will have a chance either to make or break the future of their industry. Things have come along pretty well to date and a lot of people have put a lot of time. work, and energy into building up the

quality and reputation of our Is-

land swine.

This is an opportunity to show the key men from the other prov- inces and from the United States that we are really interested in our Swine Industry here and that we are anxious about its future both from the gIn-eral agricultural and the financial standpoint.

Although it may be a slight in- convenience, your attendance and interest at this meeting may eith- er clinch the general opinion, that the best Yorkshires in the world come from Prince Edward Island or convince the lu-kc-warm people that this is just anothm flurry and that Island farmers are not very Interested themselves what the future holds.

Prince County Next Time

Our Federation fieldmen will be in Prince County next week mak- ing plans for the County meetings and helping our western farmers, with special problems.

A general meeting of the farm- ers in the surrounding districts will be held at Coleman Hall on Wed- nesday evening. and a similar

in

meeting at Palmer Road Hall on

warm”

Thursday evening.

Recent . , ests for information regarding the appointment of a fulitime agricultural representat- ive for Prince County and the completion of our Provincial Vet- erinary policy cannot be answered at present.

However. we understand those two problems are under consider- ation and some definite announce- ment from the Minlstrr of Agri- culture is expected in the not too distant future.
