I Among The Farmers

(Federation of Agriculture News)

Flt Black Isle

Those who organised the rat stock Show and Sale and those who consigned cattle have good cause lor aatlslaction with the re- sults. Evidently the spirited bid- ding on the champion steer set the pace tor the whole sale and pro- duced one o: the highest aver- ages ol any similar sales held in Canada this spring. While the ani- mals in this sale were oi special quality and lor a special market. yet the sale does indicate the ad- vantages ol marketing livestock zhrough a system that brings lorth competitive bidding. We have in this Province a system or market- ing cattle which is costly both to the buyer and the larnser who. perhaps. loots a larger share or the bill than he realises.

Many oi our larmers still have a great deal oi’ conlidence in their ability to drive a hard bargain but. nevertheless. most of the cost cl marketing comes out or the returns tor the animal and ii the system is costly there is no question as ‘.0 who pays. In marketing any pro- duct the larmer, as an individual. has little bargaining power but the same individual larmers as a group can develop very realbargain- mg power. In tact ll the group is large enough it can set, within reason- able limits, the market price.

Soil Conservation

The Federation ollice has re-

lorta it is necessary and import- ant that each group understands clurlv the aims and objectives 0! the other and it ‘would lurther follow that there should be. in large measure, agreement on and ac-‘ ¢l:eptance'ol these aims and princip- es.

The Federation can do much to develop prestige in the eyes or the larmer lor the scienttlic worker and the scientilic worker on his part can, it lavorably maimed, as- sist the Federation towards great- er acceptance on the part or the

farmer. The Lost _ Pig

We are not inclined to agree wth the statement that Canada lost her Overseas bacon market due to interior quality. The two basic reasons would rather appear to be that we did not have sui- iiclent product to till the contracts. certainly we have none today, eith- er good or bad. The second reason is that producers in other countries were in a position to provide the bacon at a lower price. There has been a decline in the percentage oi top quality bacon and this can be directly attributed to price dil- lerentials which are unrealistic be- tween A hogs and B hogs. has also contributed to the beliel on the farmer's part that a B hog is more proiltebie than a top quality one. The producer or A hogs has not been receiving sulliciently greater returns to compensate him for the better product and his

rroblems in Prince Edward Island" prepared by the P. E. I. branch of the Agricultural Institute oi Canada. A great deal ol studying and work has gone into this publication which contains a wealth oi’ valuable and interesting in- lomostion relative to the handling ol our soil resources through the years and the general cllects re-

sulting lrom the system ol agriculture employed. T r e n d s in production of crops and

livestock are analyzed and sug- gestions made as to the best use oi’ the dlllerent types or soil: and the steps which can be taken to preserve and improve our soil. Farmers who are interested in making a study oi these matte;s will lind the time well spent in studying this report.

had 1 Development

The proposal to establish an industrial development fund will, we expect, make provision lor devel- opment relative to Agriculture. We would also assume that the pro- posed Economic Development Coun- cil would be very closely related to the lurid. The progress and pros- perity or this Province depends, in a large part. upon the carrying on cl agriculture to its lull capac- ity. This involves making best use at all the land and processing and marketing the products in the most eilicient manner possible. New developments in processing may in- volve a certain amount or risk and may even, alter trial, prove un- successlul. The larmer as an in- dividual accepts almost every pos- sible type or risk in growling any crop. no risks not only his capital

but his labor lor which, in many

instances. he receives little or no return. can it not be argued that the province is luily justilied in providing risk capital for devel- opnents related to agriculture? Caution is, in most cases, a com- mendsble virtue but it carried too lar leads to stagnation in the in- dustry. The luture ol the province can be more Iully assured by pro- dueing a variety or crops, crops which our conditions ary suited to. but crops which, in many cases. will require special lacllities and equipment lor processing.

With respect to canning and lreeaing the time would appear to have arrived when bold. decisive action is indicated. action which may cost the province some money in the form or investments in in- is-eased cold storage laclllties and processing units.

Marketing Legislation

The opponents ol marketing legislation are prone to use such descriptive adjectives as undemo- cratic, dictatorial and stalinistic in expressing their views. It Is inter- esting to reler to the debates in the House or Commons at the time the Federal Marketing Act (Bill 82) was passed in 1949. At no time during the debate was there any actual Opposition to the Bill and spokesmen lor the lour political parties each. in turn, endorsed the Act. such unanimity would appear to indicate that the members or the House ol commons saw no Ipparent danger to democratic pro- ress in giving the lsrmers oi Can- ada certain controls over market- Ins process. It is signllicant that. in many cases. those who are most concerned with threats to ireedom. either real or fancied, are the ones Who are most apt to prostitute democracy lor their own scllish PUYDOSQS.

Combined Aaststa nce

Governments and Departments nl Asricuiture employ trained people 10 assist the larmer. The larnier himseil organises a Federation to do certain things on his behalf.‘ Thcretore it would appear that the scientific worker and the larmI "fsaniaation are working towards the same objective and this, turn. leads to the conclusion that A more ollectlve lob can be done

Potato Pleblscite At the moment only one thing

I

is delinlte with respect to the‘

proposed potato plebiscite. There is going to be one but how and when and in what lorm is still a matter ol negotiation. All parties concerned are agreed that the re- sults should be decisive and the plebiscite conducted in such a man- nor as to avoid any criticisms on the grounds oi unlairness.

It is hoped that within the next

can be made which will provide the voters some reason to start developing an election lever.
