CHARLOTTETOWN. FRIDAY. AUG. 17, 1951

Ontario's Example

Despite the fact that Ontario is the most highly industrialized Province in the Dominion, agriculture still remains its most important single industry. The Ontario Minister of Agriculture, Hon. Thomas L.

Kennedy, stresses this fact in a foreword

to an interesting booklet issued by his de- partment. It is entitled "Farm Life in Ontario", and the subject is presented most attractively.

The achievement by Ontario farmers, says Mr. Kennedy, has resulted from their use of the latest scientific developments and improved farming practices. These have enabled them, even with a reduced working force, to produce more grain per acre, graze more cattle per acre and put up more hay with a higher feeding value than ever before. This increase and im- provement in quality of feed production has made possible the feeding of a greater number of livestock and poultry.

Of great importance to Ontario's agri- cultural economy is the Province's large processing and calming industries. which annually take care of oiie-third to one-half the total fruit production. Another factor. however, enters into the picture. That is the extensive truck transportation facil- ities. ”Fresh fruits and vegetables are shipped to metropolitan markets principal- ly by trucks belonging to wholesalers, farm co-operative sales agencies, and independ- ent truckers on a commission basis. When fruit and vegetable growers are near to either the metropolitan or town markets, they normally transport their produce in their own trucks.” Only in peak seasons of production do railway car loads of pro- duce leave the specialized areas for more distant metropolitan markets. '

This is how Ontario keeps down its railway rates on a competitive basis. and why, along with Quebec. it has been in- active in protesting the recent freight rate increases. As pointed out by Prof. Harold Innis in a memorandum printed as a post- script 'to the Turgeon Royal Commission report, "The eloquent silence of Ontario and Quebec in rate cases and in the hear- ings of this Commission points to the ef- fectiveness of truck alid water competition in keeping down rates in the St. l..au'renc(l region.”

In 1947, out of 3,997 41,; ton trucks in Canada, Ontario had 2,146; of 2.896 trucks. 81,5 tons or larger, Ontario had 2,126. Truck competition. according to the ev- idence taken by the "Till-geon Commission, is saving the public large sums of money each year, and practically all these savings are made in the two Centlal Provinces. The Commission also points out that railway losses in Ontario and Quebec due to high- way or truck competition are recouped by increasing freight rates elsewhere. This imposm a serious handicap on our Mari- time farmers, and it is a problem which is likely to continlfe with more and more serious implications until we develop our

transportation facilities along the same'

lines.

interpreted as a glowing tribute to the suc- cess of President Truman's special emis-

ary Averill Harriman as a negotiator. So.

it is. But it would be unfortunate if the improvement in Anglo-Iranian relations were attributed solely to Mr. I-lai-riman's efforts. Perhaps the unexpected appear ance of a. Soviet warship off the coast of Iran had as much to do with the sudden outburst of "reasonableness" on Premier Mossadaqls part as anything Mr. Harriman may have said or done. -

What is most significant at the moment in the Anglo-Iranian affair is that negoti- ations are now being conducted directly between the British Government and the Iranian Government. rather than between representatives of the oil company and Iranian authorities. The vast reservoir of experience of the British foreign office in Middle East diplomacy is thus, at long last, being brought to bear on the trou- blc. ' 1 i

It would be folly to assume that the Anglo-Iranian incident is ended. The very wualmen of Premier Mouadurs regime and the noisy clamor of the Iranian Com- munlqt symnutiiisen should be sufficient

Farm Labour Force

There can be few Canadians who are not convinced that this country offers at- most unlimited possibilities for sustaining increased population. It is especially riote- ' worthy that despite natural increase and immigration there are today some 105,- 000 fewer people working in agriculture than there were in 1947.

Merely to offset the drain from coun- try to city it is necessary to increase the population at a greater rate than we have been doing. To bring about a significant

land will require all the men, women and children we can possibly attract and bild.
