For Fiel

Anoiher- year of outstanding achievement in field crops. dairy and poultry production is being chalked up by Prince Edward Is- land farmers at this Thanksgiving season. The following review of farming activities has been sup» piied by Mr. 5. C. Wright. acting Deputy Minister of ‘Agriculture.

The year 1948 has been exceed- ingly good as for as the production of field crops was concerned. Spring seeding was approximately two to three weeks later than In the previous year, but an abun- dance of moisture during the growing season has resulted In in- creased yields in almost all field crops.

The hay crop in the Province this year was exceptionally good with an estimated yield per acre of 2.2 tons. This is in comparison with an estimated yield in 1947 of .8 tons per ncre. Pastures were excellent during the whole season and have provided excellent graz- ing for all classes of livestock. Re- ports to date indicate that the yield per acre of field crops during this year is higher in most in- stances than in the previous year.

Potato acreage has been in- creased ihis your over the previous year and indications are that. the production will be in the vicinity of 200 bushels per acre, a yield which will return a total produc- lion approximately the some as the previous year.

Livestock

According to the June survey there has been a decrease in the number of livestock in the Prov- ince. The demand for dairy cattle has been keen and large numbers have been shipped out _of the Prov- ince. The demand for bee! has also been exceptionally good and the export has been unusually large.

The horse population has been decreasing due to the trend io-

wards’ mechanical power on the farms and particularly on farms where outstanding draft horses

were formerly an important phase of production. Light horses, pm‘-

TORONTO, Oct. 8- (CP)—-'1‘he United Steelworkers of America (C.I.O.) with a weather eye on the climbing cost.’ of living. decided lo- day not to state its 1949 wage goal In dollars ahd cents.

C. H. Millard, Union national director, said at a press confer- ence that the objective will be "a minimum subsistence for the steel- worker's family,” based ‘on a 40- hour week.

The decision was taken at the opening session of the union's two- day national policy conference, at- tended by representatives-of the 187 Canadian locals. The confer- ence was closed to the press.

The sieeiworkers, who claim a 40,000 membership, traditionally set the wages-and-hours pattern for a large part of Canadian labor.

Believes Armor To Play

Greater Role War

I OTTAWA, Oct. a - tor) -i Maj.-Gen, William G. Livesay, commandant, of the Armored School of the United States Army, said tonight he believes armor will play a constantly greater role in any future war.

"I arn convinced," he-snid in an address prepared for delivery to the Royal Canadian Armored Corps Association, "that we shall sce the necd for land forces con- tinuously so long as mankind commits the frliy of engaging in warfare."

In summarizing his ideas on the future of armor during the next few years, he said. "I am not un- mindful of the effect of the ut- omic bomb and guided missiles on military operations."

These are his points:

1, Armor will continue to be an increasing important component of the army team.

2. Tank development will con- tinue ard thcre will be srefllfy- improved armored fighting. ve- hicits of all kinds.

3, Increased need for teamwork within the army and among allies in the national defence team.

Supreme Court of Canada took un- der consideration today the tickllsh constitutional question of whether Parliament has the iigvht to bar margarine from Canadian dining tables.

The case, referredtothis highest

statute which prohibits the impor-

tation, manufacture and sale of the butter substitute in this country.

The court reserved judgment at the end of 3 1-2 daysof argument in which proponents of the legis- lation held it was within Federal jurisdiction while opponents con- tended that it fell within provinc- ial competence.

OTTAWA. Oci. 8- (Speciall- Foilowing his work earlier this week as chairman of a committee laying the groundwork of the Newfoundland-Canada conference on terms under which Newfound- land will enter Confederation, J. Watson MacNnught, M. P., for Prince and parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Fisheries. has taken up the subject of potatoes with J. G. Tnggart, director of agricultural services.

In exploratory conversations on Maritime potatoes, the subject of a floor price was discussed, if and and when such a price should be- come necessary or desirable. Mr. Taggart, who is in charge of ld- ministration of the Agricultural Prices Support Act, agreed with Mr. MacNaught that a selling rush of Prince Edward Island potatoes would result in two undesirable elements. First is that market pric- es might be hammered down by over-supply, and second that such selling \vouid result in e shortage of refrigerator cars.

Result Encouraging

Mr. MacNaught said the result of the conversations was "encour- nging" and that now the Depart- ment of Agriculture has the mut- ter In hand nncbwouid be in n posi- tion to take speedy action if such were required.
