R. C.N. Will Get Six New Destroyers; Total 20

OTTAWA (CP)—-Defence Min- ister Pearkes Tuesday informed the Commons estimates commit- tee that the Canadian Navy will get six new destroyers.

This will bring the total pro- gram of new destroyers, started in 1050, to 20 instead of the 18 announced last year by Mr.

Pearkes. He said the hull for the first

of the six will be laid down in

the fall and hulls for the next three in the s~ucceeding three to four months.

He said no decision has been reached on which shipyard, will get the first order. Canadian Viokers Limited, Montreal, re-

ceived the first order for the seven St. Laurent class de- stroyers and .a-laso for the first of the seven in the Restigouche class. s

Mr. Pearkes said the new die- stroyer will be an improvement of the Restigou-che class.

Officials -declined to give esti- mated cost, specifications or any other details of the new war- ships. St. Laurent and Resti- gouche class destroyers cost some $27,000,000 arpiece.

The new destroyers will re- place frig-ates which were built during the Second World W-ar and are nearing the end of the normal 20-year life for a war- s-hip.

DAIRY MONTH

Traditionally June ha-s been the mouth in which the dairy cow got a new lease of life and came up with her heaviest production of the year. Now, national ad- vertising and national promotion is geared. to June with dairy farmers contributing 1 cent ‘on each pound of,butterf~at to pro- vide the sinews which keeps the

. value of dairy products and the

Importance of the dairy industry before the public.

Canadians are great consumers of dairy products, in return for this support the dairy industry of Canada is providing dairy ’ pro- ducts of the finest quality and is in addition providing a service which acquaints homemakers with the many different uses to which dairy produws may be put. The dairyman who contributes 1 cent on each pound of butterfait pro- duced in June is laying a found-

ation for the future of one of the

.\

most important industries m'Ga- nada.

ABANDONED OR VACANT

The farm which is actively op- erated, produces well and in a high state of cultivation is 9. very important asset. But there are many farms in this province which while operated are in’: sense vacant. The house and the barns stand unoccupied, in many cases the barnis leaning on the wind wanting for an autumn hur- ricane to change it into kindling. While these farms are vacant they may still be producing eith- er on a rental basis or as an adjunct to some other farm.

The third classification is the :abandoned farm, this is the one that is both neglected and for- gotten, it is‘ likely growing up in bushes and presents a problem to the school district which must collect taxes on it. These are the farms which have been unable to supply a satisfactory living wage. More properly they are pioneer homesteads which failed to grow into farms and in this age of commercial agriculture gave up the struggle as a produc- ing unit.

ECONOMISTS ,

Once a year the members of the Canadian Agricultural Econ- omics Society meet in a pro- fessional way and consider vari- ous aspects of the farm situa-

' tion. This year their meeting will

be held at Montmorency House near Quebec City and will be de-

voted to the study of “The Small Flarm Problem.”

-Such consideration wou-lad ap- pear quite timely as few produc- tive units in any branch of our economy are being subjected to more serious pressures and to «greater problems than the small farm. It is encouraigving that pro- _feIssiona<l economists recognize this fact and are prepared to make it the subject of serious study. '

June has so far provided rath- er oool weather and high winds

neither of which promote maxi-I I _m-um growth. Grass, hay and ear-

ly seeded grain are malcing sat- uistactory progress although many new meadows -snfltening from lack of lime are showing a heavy growth of sorrel. Early planted potaatoes are now axpxpearing and vegetaiblle. gardens malning a fine start. Strawberry patches are now in liull bloom and prospects are for a good supply of fruit.

EDUCATIONAL PROBLEM

Facing many rural communi- ties at the present time is the pI"0‘;jII€zIIl of bprovtiding a school «teacher for the coming year. The situation is vastly changed from days of thirty years ago where Pr;nce of Wales Coll-ege turned out annually almost 300 prospec- tive teachers. Svchool dristricts were in a position to pick and choose but all this has changed. Today the school district must bid for the services of a teacher with attra.ctive suIpIplueIments, with satisfactory acIcommod=atfons, and in some cases guarantee that grades 9 and 10. will be moved out of the oneroom school to larger centres. as COMPETITION

in nearly every country, it is now an accepted idea of national policy that the competitive posi- tion of a great number of farm enterprises has to be strengthen- ed by govermnent intervention. Or to put it another way, it is almost universally agreed that competition cannot be so com- pletely free as to.eliminaIte an unlimited number of operators from the business of farming.

Rather it is generally agreed that those farm units which can- not meet the standards set by competition must be helped to improve their technical and man- agerial performance.

One result of these policies is that a powerful impulse is con- sistently applied to the develop- ment of efficiency which leads, in turn, to a constant increase

PROVINCE

in the volume of production-

With consumer demand rising at a comparatively slower pace than production in almost every economically developed country, and with little possiblity of tak- ing advantage of lower prices to stimulate consumption because such lower prices to producers would be inconsistent with the maintenance of their adequate remuneration, there is bound to be an unbalance between supply and demand.

In the present set up, compo tition between farmers to secure {their individual shares of avail- able outlets is largely replaced by governmental guarantees that the whole of the production will be marketed. at fair prices. ’

In the international market the same difficulties arise but they are further complicated by the fact that instead of one author- ity - the national government - there are a number of soverign

governments whose actions aim at correcting what they think to be the -undesirable effects of competition.

For some commodities the stage has clearly been reached where competition on economic terms no longer plays a Part in allocating production between producers in the various count- ries.

How, then, is the problem of “over-production” to be solved on 1

a World basis? It would seem that agricultur-

al support policies are becoming 5 the favourite target. We have _ had in succession a confronta- '
