Federation of Agriculture Newsletter
1 DAIRY FARMER’S P®LICY The major points in natienal
dairy policy approved last week at Calgary cover the following:
(4) Floor price on butter not to be less than 64 cents per pound.
(2) Floor on roller powder to be at 13 cents — up one cent.
'3) Powder to be diverted to feed and a portion of the produc- tion to be colored.
(4) Floor on cheece to go up one cent to 35 cents.
(5) A recommendation that dairy groups in Canada make funds available to assist in the movement of* powder into re- lief channels.
(6). Recommended iacreased efforts to promote ‘‘Schcol Milk Programs.”

DR. HANNAM’S REPORT
The C. F. A. President’s report covers a very wide range of ag- riculture matters, its length pre- vents publication of the entire -text in this column but a num- ber of extracts follow:
Will The Trend Be Up Or Down?
In favour of some uptrend in the farmers’ relative position are
“the following factors: :
(a) Prospects appear favour- able for the good domestic de- mand for fat'm food products to continue since the domestic mar- ket is taking a gradually increas- ing proportion of our total agric- ultural production
tb) The all era] level of consumer purchas- ing power promises to continue firm.
(ec) A strong demand for scme farm products from the Unitea States, notably for beéf.
‘d) 22 products under supports, figure, and the promise of im- proved stability generally under the new stabilization program. MARGINAL FARMS
It is generally agreed that for perhaps another 15 years a pro- _gressively smaller proportion of our total population is needed in agriculture as our ability. to pro- duce advances and our standard of living rises. It is probably un- realistic to fight against this trend. Surely it would be more sensible if, instead of simply starving families out by the cost- price squeeze, we would develop
forward-looking program de- igned to encourage and assist those families, on upeconomic units, who elect to sell their farms to a public authority. to *take advantage of training offer- ed \and to move to some non- farm occupation.
This point of view was official- ly approved by’ the C. F. A. in the last few years both in our presentation to the Senate Com- mittee on Land Use and in amend-

faith in Canada. there is a need and an opportunity before you which will challenge your best brains and your top skills. It will be a struggle, the goal of which will be a status justified by the basic importance of agric- ulture and the rights and val- ues of rural citizenship. BETTER LIVING
Generally speaking ‘the farm, family is living bette- than 20 years ago. Mechanization of farm practices and modernization of farm homes has mea a big ad- vance in rural living and the elimination of much drudgery in| farm work. But on the farm in- come and economic level, the farmers’ relative position as compared with other major groups continues to be unfairly | low — abnormally so in fact| when it is considered that the past decade has been a period of unprecedented prosperity in} Canada.
TECHNICAL REVOLUTION
The agricultural industry is- in the throes of a technical revolu-' tion. This upheaval got underway in the war years dnd has _ in- creased in.intensity during the post-war period. Not only has} agriculture had to try to adjust te new conditions in technical procedures, but is up against serious economic and social con- sequences of the revolution as well. :
Amongst the consequences this upheaval are the following: (a) The extraordinary increase in farm productivity and output.
(b) An abnormally large move- ment of workers away from ag- riculture.
‘c) The unfavourable income disparity between the farming in- dustry and the rest of the econ- omy.
(d) The rise of a special’ prob- lem concerning the small income | farmer and submarginal farm.
(e) The lagging world market for farm products.
(F) The spread of contract farming and vertical integration.
(g) The: cost - price squeeze which involves inadequacy of | farm price levels and the con- tinuous rise and increasing rigid- ity of farm costs.
‘h) The problem of farm fin-} ancing including increased | capitalization, higher cash oper- | ating costs and increased credit needs.
(i) Need for more capable Management and more skilled workmanship on today’s farms.
(j) Instability of n.arkets and prices, increasing the risa in the farm enterprise.
(k) Farm surpluses accumulate and surplus disposal programs of- ten interfere with normal mar- keting.
‘l} As the standard of living rises the trend of society is to ward a smaller and smaller pro-
|
of
portion of ‘out population in ag- ricultyre. (m)’ The increasingly urgent
need for shaping production pro- grams in harmony with the de- mamis of available markets—and the extreme difficulty of directinz and co-ordinating family farm production for this purpose. In fact, better. management prac- tices for the individual farm op-

=| salina UC Makes Progress During Year
The year 1958 was a year to be . marked ,down for great pro- gress for the Breadalbane Pas- toral Change of the United Church of Canada. This was the feeling of thé annual meeting held under the chairmanship of the Minister, Rev. Anthony G. N. Ware.
Reports presented from the various departments’ of the
*|Church’s life were without excep-
tion very encouraging. The mem- bership of the Church remained ady, seven new members be- ing ‘welcomed into fellowship dur- ing the year. The highlights of 1958 were indicative of the deep- ening of the spiritual life of the Church.
INDEPENDENT
The most outstanding feature was that the Charge became in- dependent of outside financial help. In 1957 the Change drew over $1500.00 from the Board of Home Missions; in 19586 the giv- ing of the people made this un- necessary, so that the Annual Mecting was able to resolve that the “Charge remain self-sustain- ing. In addition to this, over $150. 00 more was subscribed by members to the Missionary and Maintenance Fund than ip the previous year, and the different departments of the Church's or- ganisations all reported a heal- thy financia] situation.
Two further encouraging fea- j tures were the increase in at- tendance at Sunday services of worship, and the new meetings organised during the year. A régular weekly Bible Class was and had proved of great value and interest, as was |demonstrated by the good num- ber attending. And a _ United Church Men’s AOTS Club had satisfied a need for a distinctive- ly men’s meeting, and was pro- gressinzg well. The Minister ex- Pressed his thanks to all those who had so faithfully helped to |make 1958 such an outstanding
one, and hoped that 1959 would ly
Prove to be one of even greater steps forward.

WASHINGTON (AP)—Defence Secretary Neil McElroy con- ceded Thursday that the United States will have fewer intercon- timental ballistic missiles than Russia in the next two years.
; .“But,” he told a Senate hear- ing; “‘we - still have . adequate forces to deter an attack.” Testifying before the Senate, preparedness subcommittee, Mc- Elroy disputed a coritention ‘that the?8aSaT ow leads the U. S. in the ICBM field. He said neither side has ‘an operational ICBM at this time.
However, the defence chief said the firsf™U. S. operational base for ICBMS will be in use next June at Vandenberg Air Force Base, in California. . READY IN JULY————
Edwin Weis], counsel for the investigating group,, later inter- preted McElroy’s testimony as meaning “the first operational squadron of ICBMS will be ready in July.” McElroy did not chal- lenge this statement.

He did tell the senators that in an effort to speed the promising Polaris missile into use, its plan- ned range had been cut below 1,500 miles. McElroy declined to say what the more-limited range is, but said this rocket does not need to travel 1,560 miles to be

Commenting on an Ottawa re- port that ‘“‘moonshining continues to present quité a problem on Prince ‘Edward Island"’, Attorney General A.W. Matheson yester- day called attention to the fact that the news dispatch originat- ing in the capital was in error.
According to the Royal Can- adian Mounted Police Report tabled in the House of Commons ft was shown that the amount of beer and wash seized on the Island during the 1958 fiscal year was 759 gallotis not 759,000 as stated in the news report. The report shows that only 19,963 gal- lons of beer and wash were seized in the whole of Canada.
Mr. Matheson said the slight increase of 759 gallons seized during 1958 from the 640 ,gatloas seized on the Island the year previous was of little signifi- cance. In regard to spirits a slight decrease in the number of gallons seized is noted—29 gal- lons in 1958 compared to 43 gal- lons in 1957.
The attorney general said the fact that seizures on the Island show a higher per capita rating than in other provinces could perhaps be attributed to a more | efficient effort on the part of the! local police.

During Year
greatest majority of veterans of the second war have long’ since found jobs. At the present time. the hardest veterans to place are those unskilled or without a trade. Even the skilled men such as carpenters, usually find only seasonal employment, and are idle for several months - each year.
