Greetings For 195!

We take this opportunity in our first newsletter of 1953 of extend- ing to all our readers in general and to the members of the Fed- eration in particular. our best wishes for a Happy and Prosper- ous New Year.

we emphasize the prosperity as we are inclined to feel, when this is present, most farmers are hap- PY-

No one can accurately predict what may happen in the coming year, but if it is no worse than 1952, most of us will manage to struggle along. w

Uncle Sam Gels Tough

The dairy industry received an- other blow when the United States decided on further restricting the movement of Canadian dairy pro- ducts. Unquestlonably, this is a serious matter and an action at variance with trade agreements made between the two countries.

It is quite natural to talk of netaillation and if only the dairy industry were involved this might be considered. We are of the opin- ion that it would be difficult to

et western farmers to sanction no suggestion of reprisals, the U. 5. market for western coarse grains is far too important to risk in a trade war.

The suggestion that imports of soybean oil be restricted is wor- thy,of consideration as a means of protecting the dairy industry, but this should not be done in a spirit of retaliation.

Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the RE. I. Federation will take place in Charlottetown at the Legion Hall during the afternoon and evening of Friday, January 9th.

The afternoon meeting wul be for - directors both County and Provincial only, while the evening meeting will be public and mem- here are invited to attend. An- nouncement of this meeting will appear in the press at a later date. '

I953 Problems

Each and every farmer has his own problems to deal with, some effect his own form only, others effect his community and still others are general problems which concern the whole industry.

In the list of general problems si'i.'ecting agriculture in this pro- vince, and we are not going to at- tempt to place them in order of

importance, may be mentioned thel

following:

(1) Freight rates and transport- ation; (2) Markets, both domestic and export; (3) Rural electrifica- tion; (4) The settlement of idle I'a.r-ms; (5) Improving the quality of our carttle; (6) More efficient use and greater production of home grown feeds; ('1) High pro- ductlon costs.

While these may not all be solv- ed in the coming year. now is the time" for every farmer to start thinking about them and planning how he may assist in a solution.

It may perhaps be difficult for the individual farmer to see Just how he can do much himself con-

these questloh.s,- but we would point out that the active ooncern and interest of a large number of people is the first es- sential for the solving of any problem.

March 1th. 1939

Before local Federations appear- ed. on the scene in the Maritimes there was an organization known as the Maritime Chamber of Ag- riculturc.

On the above date. A meeting '

was held in Moncton with Gov- eminent representatives and it is interesting to note two of the main questions then discussed and since solved.

The first question was that of

marketing legislation which would

give the farmer some control and enable him to compete with pro- ducers of other countries who had Marketing Boards and orderly marketing. It is hardly necessary to point out that such legislation is now a fact and available for nth; use of producers who so de-

The second matter was the dis- crimination in freight rates on western grain for export and to the Marltimes. At that time Eu- rope formers could buy western grai 'et a lower price than Mari- tirnedarmcrs and the deal did not look like a fair one.

The solution came through a Dominion policy now well known to most farmers, "Freight Assist- ance on Western Grains". W. J.

Reid, 13.5..-1., presided at the meet- .

Ins and Roy Grant was secretary. A Smaller Share

Food costs are still one of the consumer's main problems and it In natural to place most of the blame on the rarmers' shoulders.

Statistics Just ielelsed for the United states. and we suspect the tune apply to Canada. eetablls' the fact that in 1952 out of even: dollar the consumer spent for load. the farmer got forty six cents. three cents less than last year and eight cents less than the wartime peak.

If food costs are lricreaslng the villain is not the farmer, but rath- er the cost of transportation, pro- cessing and retailing.

From 1935 to 1939 the average American citizen had 3610.00 to spend and of this 5119.00 or twen- ty three per cent went for food. In 1952 the average income was 31441.00 and 3391.00 or twenty seven per cent was spent for food.

When it is taken into considera- tion that the average person is eating more and better food than was the case fifteen years ago. it becomes clear that the average American has far more money to spend on commodities other than food.

This is worth thinking about.

This Little Pig

In the old nursery rhyme in which the little pig went to mar! ket no date was given but, we sus- pect that the last week of 1952 will go down in history as a per- iod when-more pigs, both big and small, went to market than ever before.

Packing plants and stock yards will have a booming businme for the first few days of the new year.

For farmers who may wonder about this matter. all hogs deliv- ered to plants before midnight, December (list were settled for on the basis of the old floor even though they may not have been killed until the first of the year.

Among birds there is the sever- est rivalry between the males of many species to attract by song the females. The rock thrush, birds of paradise. and some others, con- gregate, and successive males strut proudly in front of the females, displaying their gorgeous clothes. They also go through many strange antics before the female. which. standing by as a. spectator, is said to always choose the most attrac- tive male. '

The above true story reminds this scribe of the time he built a boat on his bgtrandfatlliefs fanm in Cornwall. The pieces of wood were carried to an attic loft of an out building and like Garcia's host, were put together on the instal- ment plan. The first shock came when I found the boat too large to go through the small door in the end of the bani. The second shock came when Grandfather climbed the rickety stair to discov- er a puzzled young fellow seated on the floor among a lot of car- penter's tools most of which had long since lost their fine edge. "What's that?" questioned the old man pointing a finger at my over- sized boat.

I was too frightened to answer. The words that flashed through my mind froze on my lips. Then grandfather picked up one of his saws examined it, closely for a moment, then exchanged if for a chisel which I knew, had some- how lost part of its cutting edge.

Next thing I remembered I was lying flat on my tummy, on the old man's knees, while his sturdy hand beat a rhythmic and powerful shower of blows on my buttocks.

After that experience I gave up all hope of ever becoming a boat builder.

Although 43 states limit the hours of employment for women to protect their health, statistics show the average woman oulives her husband by several years.

The oldest veteran of he Civil War. James A. Hard. of Rochester. N. Y.. was honored last Memorial Day when he was given a warrant of honorary colonel in th enou- exlstent "Confederate Air Force."

The aged former soldier was active enough to again serve as marshal of the Rochester Memorial Dav parade.

Hard joined the army 4 days after Fort Sumter was attacked and served with 37 New York Vol- unteers through many bloody bat- ties.

His first vote was cast for Abra- ham Lincoln,

Though Hard is not the man he used to be, his mind still is active. and he had the medicos scratching their heads by surviving three attacks of pneumonia at 107.

This remarkable man has cut- lived a. couple of wives, and says he will keep on living as long as he can keep on puffing. His re- cipe for long life is "work. no worry and smoke plenty of good cigars".

Lloyds. who will insure just about everything have paid off on an outbreak of measles. The insurance settlement' was made to the owner of the Cold Hill Hotel, in Malvem. Eng, an area with some 20 board- inrz schools for boys.

The hotel caters mainly to par- ents, but all such visits are bann- ed by school authorities every time a student catches measles.

The hotel has been insured against such loss of business and an outbreak of measles left the place virtually empty.
