Thus beginning in 1948 the Federation began to assume in structure, to a certain extent, the form of a union. As a result of this change, almost 80 per cent of Federation income com- es from individuals with less than 20 per cent coming from the member organizations. Ma- ny of our provincial organiza- | tions have quite limited income,

the Federation is ‘‘draining’’ the resources of its member organ- izations. Statistically from a position where the member or- ganizations provided 100 per cent Federation revenue, we have moved to one where they provide 20 per cent. We would feel that there must still be con- siderable confidence in the Fed- eration when individual farmers contribute the remaining 80 per cent.

FARM INCOME

Figures recently released on farm income probably disclos- ed nothing which a great many Canadian farmers had not al- ready realized and that our po- .D. tato growers have not already become painfully acquainted with. The Prairies, New Bruns- | wick, and Prince Edward Is- | Jand came out on the poor end of things, the first due to the drought and the second by rea- son of poor potato prices. Just ‘how serious the situation was in this province is indicated by the fact that net farm income declined from almost fourteen million dollars in 1960 to almost one-half that amount of slightly | ed another way on the average each farm family was almost ' $1,000.00 short in its income.

We imagine that those who do the bulk of their business with farmers are quite aware of the situation, and see it re- ' flected in their own affairs. This shortage of income in 1961 will probably influence the farmer's affairs for some time to come as much of it will take the form of inereased obligations, obli- gations which in many cases are reaching levels to cause concern. We do not intend to moralize on what the statistics reveal, but there is certainly cause for some serious thinking on what the loss of seven mil- lion dollars means to the pre- sent welfare of and the future of agriculture in the province.

CATTLE MARKETING Generally we believe thai it is sound policy for our Depart- ment of Agriculture to be plan- | ning for the expansion of cattle numbers. In addition, policies to increase the production of feed are also to be commended. However, a recent persona! ex- | perience leads us to the conclu- sion that attention must be paid to a third aspect of the business. Last week we had oc casion to visit with a neigznbor in his. stable where he showed us five well finished steers. The sires, and

CO—OPERATION

During the laet days of Feb ruary and the first days of March meetings are being ar- ranged by the Federation of Agriculture at Primrose, Char- lottetown, Summerside and O’- Leary to create interest in for- age and grain production. Invi- tations are going out to key peo- ple in different farm groups. The Federation and the Depart- ment of Agriculture are co-op- erating in these meetings which are planned to be the forerun-! ner of their own to be held la ter.

Weightless

ness Posed

No Problem For Glenn

By ALTON BLAKESLEE

GRAND TURK ISLAND, Ba- hafmas (AP) — American astro- naut John H. Glenn Jr., stroll- ing out to lunch here, said he “felt no discomfort” ‘rom being weightless in space.

Special tests of balance also have not detected any diffi- culty from weightlessness, a strange factor in space travel.

But Glenn's experience still doesn’t mean humans could trevel as far as the moon with- out possible trouble from pro- longed lack of gravity.

To some experts, it’s still a matter for cautious approach.

Marine Lt.-Col. Glenn was pronounced in excellent condi- Yton and he looks it, being re- laced, jovial -and apparently hale and hearty.

Glenn declined te give details of his experiences yet, saying “we are still talking over what happened on the flight.’ and it is toc early to make full assess- ments

He did report that during flight he was able to detect ci-

ties on earth, observed a bright ‘band of light over the horizon at sunset and watched myster- ious “fireflies” flash by his /capsule window at dawn.

Scientists have been unable to come up with an explanation for the “fireflies” — thousands of tiny luminous -particles he sighted over the Pacific Ocean at sunrise. k

Russia’s Gherman ‘Titov re- ported getting kind of seasick after about his sixth orbit, and

U.S. officials began taking a|

hard look at weightlessness That means zero gravity, a floating sensation as a space ship’s speed is countered by the earth’s gravity.

Titov got his worst symptoms when he moved his head rap- idly or tracked things with his eyes.

So Glenn was instructed to move his head and track a spot of light reflected from his hand mirror. Glenn did and found no difficulty. There were no ef- fects

Common to medium lambs were 17-19. Sheep were 8-12

Grade A hogs sold at 26.50- 27 on the west-end market. Sows were 20-21. -

Grade A hogs were 26 - 26.50 with most at 26 plus 80 cents each at the east-end market. Sows were 19-20 with some $t 19 plus 80 cents each.

OTTAWA (CP) — Mrs. Adri- enne Laroche. former treasurer of Eastview, was released from Jail on $10,000 bai | Thursday pending an appeal against her recent conviction on a charge of converting $10,790 in municipal funds to her own use. The 52- year-old woman was convicted last Friday and was sentenced to nine months in reformatory.
