Adult Education I; Need 0f 80 p. c. Of Cuur Population

The purpose of tlii: Adult Educa- tion movemenit ls to assist the far- mers, fishermen and industrial wankers. who comprise 80 per cent of our pvillllflfiz-igfl. to be belter- able

to carry on t ir work with effic- iency to ensu ~e them a fair share of the worldsl economic goods, said Rév. J. R. Nelson ltitrrDonad. Unit- ed Church Il/iinlstcr‘ at Baddeck Forks, Cape _ Breton at Rotary Luncheon yesterday. A large num- ber of delegates to the Farmers Convention wure present,

Rev. Mr. lttiucDonald said that despite press 1‘('p01'i..s'. the full tide of prosperity has not yet come round the comer. We are living in strange and rClilllllgillg times. It is worth while in be alive today. We are witnesing the making of a new social orrfer.

After referrrlrbg to the unsatisfact- ory conditions in the world, he stressed the innlportarice of co-oper- ation in this adult education move- ment. It is not true, and never will be true, that iiarmers can get along without being leducalcd.

There is no class in the world who daerves more respect than the man-Who toils with his hands. If we are ever gbingto build a uiorld right. said the speaker, the interests

. of the primary producers must be

considered.

Rev. Mr. ‘MacDonald strongly disagreed with the contention made by the late Walter James. the well known Dfiyclwlbcist. who said that "outside of their own ideas. the ideas gained bjy men under the age of 25 are the only ideas they will ever have. ‘flirty cannot get any- thing new. Diisinlerestcd curiosity ls past. Mental‘ grooves and chan- nels are set. The power of asslmu- lation has gone"

To disprove that doctrine, the ipreaker told mnong other things the story of lbormer tn Grwsboro County. In this small village the people who foninerly had practically no education and who had ideas bn'y about fishing, even svhen they reached the ago of 60 to 65. learned to read and write intelligently. and started a co-olplzrative lobster fac- bory and store. v

Although we may not learn to teach an old dog new tricks, we can teach old rneri new tricks, said the speaker. The essentials for adult education are r11 the ability to learn. 12> flue dcsire to learn new things. 13) right methods. (41 the willigness to chance your ideas (51 adults must have a goo].

atives of the miners from the pit entrance and guarded openings through which it would have been possible to drop food into the workings.

The mine manager said the 267 included many of the most radically disposed elements in Pecs’ long and bitterly fought labor war. This struggle has proceeded since the five-clay strike in 1934 when 1,200 Hungarian miners. demanding wages greater than $2 a week. gave up their threats of mass suicide only when the Government prom- i=ed them better working condi- tions.

Barred From Pits

Only last week the mine man- agement barred more than 4,000 men from the pits to prevent such a strike as that of today.

There was one report tonight that several of the miners were ill, but that their leaders were forcing them t6 remain underground. With the miners were some 400 mine ponies. which the strikers announ- ced they would starve-along with them elves-lf their demands were refused.

.'I‘he mine operators-the work- ings are owned. by’ the Dairube Steam Navigation Company-firm- ly refused to make wage concess- ions. Major Emil Fey. former Au?- trian Cabinet member. is head of the Danube steamship concern. He said in Vienna tonight that “soc- ialists and agitators" had caused I the strike. and declared the miners. in addition to their pay. get free homes. coal and cheap food.

The militia, who took the hill yflsterdllll. were driven from it in 71911010118 route by an insurgent counter-attack early today. Falling back to the base of the hill, they had time to organize their de- fence and there stopped the enemy's advance.

‘Their lines were then reorgan- ized and the order for advance was given. Against a rain of rifle fire turned upon them from the hilltop, the militia stumbled inch by inch up the bloody slope, drove the insurgents from its heights in a hand-to-hand conflict, and seized the line of tranches at the bottom of the farther slope.

Northwest of Madrid the Re- publican advance-guard was repor- ted to have passed Voldsmaqueda. This village i" east of l-‘tobledo De Chnvela on the road to Navalper-al de Pinares in insurgent-held Avila Province.

Meanwhile Fascist forces have succeeded in entrenching them- selves outside Vaciamadrid. near the Valencia highway. The heights dominating the highway and the metal bridge which spans the

the Manzanares are also held by them.

Though no part of the Valencia highway is in the hand: of the attackers, their artillery dominates it and traffic Ls forbidden.

ity of welcoming back many faces we have seen here in former year.- and also many new delegates that have never been in to one oi these conventions.

Business statements of the Al. sociation have been forwarded r practically all Circles and also the financial statement as well as our Circle sheet with all Circles show- ing the number of dozens, value advanced, average pricefclozens oi Grade A eggs, dozens of bod eggs also the percentage of the dit- ferent grades and before going further. may we strike a. note of warning that there is considerable room for improvement in the qual- ity of our produce submitted for grading. As you will note the lower grade eggs are higher than necessary, there being 27ft Grade B and C eggs. cracked and burr. eggs which were .7371. and .4211.- respectively. In checking this high 1 percentage of undergrade eggs. the Management states that. most oi this is carelessness in the way of housing and methods of handling eggs before being taken by the col- . lectors. Although these condi- tions are existing and have exist- ed in the past. we feel it 'is time when some method of curtailing this state of affairs should be tak- en up by’ the delegates assembled here today. One means of corny batting this evil, would be to pa; bonus on the number of dozens r of top grade eggs. l-lowcver, we ‘ will leave this matter with the _ meeting for discussion.

40,000 dozen Increase

In summing up the yieoris activi- ties, it is pleasing to note that ‘lthere has been an increase oi l some 40.000 dozens over the previ- ous year which was brouy about by increases in thirty-four Circles. Tire highest gain of flu.- yeur goes to Murray liar-blur North with over 7,000 dozens fol- lowed in close succession by Exist Point, New London North. Be fast and several others that have shown worthwhile increases. During the year shipments were made as follows:

30 circles shipped duringvli’ months 7 circles shipped din-ing 11 months i 3 circles shipped during l0 11101110: 4 circles shipped during 9 1110111115 4 circles shipped during 8 months 4 circles shipped during 7 mOlltllh 1 circle shipped during 6 months 1 circle shipped during 5 months

Live Poultry

ft

Live poultry was handled to somewhat greater extent than for ‘ merly and was brought about 1 mainly by your efforts at. our last annual meeting in asking the Provincial Government to take more interest in Poultry work May we publicly- thunk l-fon. Mr. Dennis and his Government for helping in this work, there boiur; two men sent l0 the Coirnlry do- ing flock culling york besides studying the general conditions of the province. This work. was more or less guided by the Miln- ugement of your" Association who also had men at this work at dif- ferent intcrvnls resulting iii the; culling out oi’ many non-producing birds, thereby making a real sziv- ing in feeding problems so ncrcs- sary to the members at large. Till!~' 1 work was not completed us it was too great to finish up owing to lateness of the season and barf roads. but is anticipated tlrzit. dur- ing the Summer months this work will be again taken up and coin- pleted. The total number of birds culled was something over 49,000 by Government graders and 18,000 by your own organization. Owing to the poor qualify offer- ed. the management did not. fuel; justified in shipping this 110-1111)’ alive as it would command a very poor price, and not in line with

Instead culls were loaded at control points in the various districts on trucks supplied by the Association rind delivered to your killing plant m. the candling station where it was Many of tlu- Circies co-operated in this work. almost 100"}, while others failed to dispose of their birds. no doubt. anticipating higher prices at a later date, which we may say did not materialize. Prices paid were on a basis of 12c for best grade live fowl during this period.

Dressed poultry was handled to a somewhat greater extent than in the previous year but owing to lower prices and higher feed costs. the percentage of milkfcd was not as high as 1935. Prices paid over the year varied considerably and ranged from 23c per lb. top price in January i936 to 16c per lb. for the same class of poultry in the latter part of December. The high price paid last season caused a serious curtailment in consump- tion with the result that dealers were compelled to lower their prices and pay less during the season just. ended. Paying prices by the Association were on a basis 0t’ 18c until December 10th. 17c to December 21st, 16c during the rest of the period. Increased snlc of bmby chicks caused an moi-ease in poultry, resulting in more poul- try to be marketed which no doubt has caused the above fluctuations in price.

ing to members of the Association. The stock used was mostly from Experimental Farm Station and some other choice flocks approv- ed by the Federal Department of Agriculture. '

Feeds were also handled during the year to a much greater extent than it has ever been in the past. The extreme scarcity of various kinds of feeds necessitated branch- ing out and taking in more variety. This would be a good asset to your Association if supported by the

members in a co-ogmerative way. The uncertainty of mixing raw materials is increasing the de-

mand for prepared feeds more es- pecially in the case of chickens. and poultry in general resulting in carlot orders of feed now. where at one time orre-hundred bag ship- ments were considered heavy. Al- though conditions would appear that poultry profits are diminish- ing through high feeding costs, we still maintain that it is the per- sistcnt producer that get results.

In reviewing the activities of the pnst season in comparison with the years o6 lowest depres- sion, there has been a general up- ward swing in the price of eggs rising from the low point of ap- proximately 12 l-2c per dozen to 18 l-2c which seems to indicate that the producer that is holding steady is bound to make a. profit. We would urge the members to

in comparison to other farming activities.

Again, to assure our organiza- tion of any measure of successco- operation must be on the basis ot quality as well as volume. Quality to increase the efficiency in hand- ling and volume to decrease th overhead expenses. “

It is interesting to note the in- creased interest taken in co-opera- tron throughout many communities in the Maritime Provinces, and may we look forward to a con- rdciuible recovery and improve- nr-nt in our Association for 1937.

In conclusion. your Directorate zgiliu convey their thanks w the tarinus officials of the Depart- ncnts of Agriculture, both Federal and Provincial, for the help they have given us also the Press and to you. one and all, for your loyal ‘upper-l. during the past. season.
