A Feature for Every Friday-
Fleld Work
Last week in company with Mr. Griesbach meetings were held at Abraham's Village, Kenslngton. St. George's, Pownal, Abney. Crapaud. Cherry Valley and Uigg. These meetings gave the definite im- pression that where it is possible to make personal and direct con- tact with individuals that much progress is made in developing iii- tercst in Farm Forum and in clarifying the work of the Federa- tion. Often we are inclined to think that a very large meeting addressed by so e prominent speaker is :1 go meeting. In many cases a small meeting often or twelve people who get an op- portunity to discuss and express their own ideas is productive of far more good. Small group dis- cussions bring out in the open many valuable ideas which would never see the light of day in the larger and more imposing gather- ings.
Board Meetings
: . 0 Both provincial directors and
Queen's County directors meet on Friday and among other things to be discussed 4'and actions pian- ned on are the resolutions which arose in the county annual meet- ing. Preparations must be made for the provincial annual meeting nnd national meetings to follow in January. Among other matters to be discussed will be electrification,

group accident insurance. and the financial position of the organiza- tion. The financial year ends on December 31st and the position then will determine just how much and what kind of work the Fed- eration can carry out in the com- ing year. A comparatively large number of farmers” make it pos- sible to finance an organization with a very modest amount from each individual provided that all carry a fair share of the load.
Artificial Insemination
Among the questions discussed at the Queen's County meeting was that of artificial insemina- tion for cattle and the feeling is apparently developing that such a service is necessary in the pro- vince if improvement is to take place in the general quality of our livestock. In other provinces of Eastern Canadl. and particu- larly in Ontario marked progress has been made in establishing in- semination units which make av- ailable high quality sires to all breeders of cattle. The density of the population in this province would indicate certain natural ad- vantages and the resolution first mentioned is a timely one which certainly merits the attention of the organization.
The Well In Dry
Since early summer rainfall has been below average and the re-
ign ” GUARDlAN.,MCl-IARLOTTETOWN
suits are starting to show up in dry wells and swamps which are usually expected to be filled be- fore winter sets in, are at a very low level. The prospect of winter setting in with frost in the ground indicates that-the water situation could be serious by spring. In this province it was always possible to strike water by going deep enough and this water is available at a variety of depths. There is evi- dence that many of the well: which were dug years ago struck water in a strata which through the years has been gradually dry- ing up making necessary the sink- ing to greater depths. A dry well and having to haul water for live- stock and home use is an incon- venience of major proportions.
Land Settlement
The total income of Prince Ed- ward Island depends upon the full use of the greatest natural re- mmckthe soil-but in too many cases what might be productive farms are no longer producing crops to bring income into the province. Vacant and abandoned terms mean the elimination of a family but also mean that pro-, ductive capacity is decreased and the total business which our banks and business people do, curtailed.
While the operation of a farm may not be at all times profitable to the owner, it may also be stated that the non operation of a. mum always oonstitutes loss to the whole province. Sooner or later the ques- tion ol keeping- all the land in production must be faced up to by all interested in the general welfare.

what the future holds and farm- ers must often take fairly long

chances in planning production for the year ahead. The feeling is general that industrial activity will continue at high level in Canada with possibly some increase gin prices in 1953.
Agriculture on the other hand is faced with the prospect of grow- ing surpluses and some general decline in price levels. This com- bination of increased costs and lower income is bound to create difficulty, for farmers geared to high cost farming. The average farmer to carry on successfully must produce -to the limit and handle a large amount. of cash ii he is to operate at a profit. At least three problems must be solv- ed if agriculture is to remain in high gear.
1. Exports must be increased.
2. Transportation costs must be kept as low as possible.
3. The consumer should realize that he cannot have high wages and cheap food at the same time
Groin Handling
When International Wheat agreements were made and the Canadian Government took over the selling of the Canadian wheat, wheat was no longer traded on the Winnipeg grain exchange. The net result was that the usually daily fluctuations in wheat prices disappeared and the speculative trading was eliminated. Other grains are still handled through the grain exchange in much the same manner as stocks in a Stock Exchange and it is quite possible for speculators who never see a bushel of grain to make large pro- iits or to lose their shirts. Eastern feeders of Western grain blame the gamblng on the grain ex- change fo the rapid fluctuations which take place in price, changes which in most places benefit neith- er the grower or the buyer. It is interesting to note that Saskatch- ewan farmers are suggesting the closing of the grain exchange and suggesting that 9. more orderly method should be devised of es- tablishing values on an important raw material.
