Among The Farmers Federation 01 Agriculture ilevts

-.M..:

Series of Meeting!

Federation directors are keep- ing a watchful eye on the weath- er and roads in an effort to de- ride on a suitable time for the holding of the .meetings which were postponed in March.

The meetings must be held as soon as roads are passable and ttefore cropping operations begin.

Federation members have been making forward to the oppor- tunity of discussing with their Um.-1.1;, p.oblems and policies mnnected with agriculture and Federation work and the directors are anxious that as many mem- hers as possible be given an op- portunity of coming together.

no Poultry World

There are some thinill &b0ilI- I-I" nuuitry business that look far "om promising at the moment. Present prices of eggs are below the cost of production and with increased hatchlngs and the build- mg up of surpluses the prospect for good prices during the sum- mt'l' months are not too rosy.

Cold storage holdinsl "t POUIS try meats are almost exactly dou- i:le. that of a year no and it 1,! probable that when this IPFIHZI t-hicks come into production that there will be H heavy liquidation of fowl still further tending to aggravate this surplus.

lVe can see very little to Justify an increase in the numb" faylng hens at the present time and feel that caution should be the watchword in E0V9"i"'8 PWL ll')' operations.

Ontario Votes

Ontario poultry producers are ymtdingg their poultry plebiscite on me 16th, 17th and lilih to decide for or against the proposed est? marketing Scheme.

in the present time. were it not for the floor price, eggs would likely be very much lower in price and should the Federal Govern- ment. decide to get out of the elm hugtnpss, egg producers would find it absolutely necessary to have some type of machinery which would finance. the holding of sur- pluses and assist in stabilizing the market.

We are not making any 11"- dlctions as to the result of the plebiscite but. we do predict. that should support prices be discon- tinued and in the absence of any type of a national regulatory body. the poultry business could be real trouble.

Egg Grading

Prince Edward Island egg pro- ducers depend on outside markets

and the holding of these markets 3

depends on provldiiil ll PT0d"CI5 of good quality.

With sixty-five stations grading and selling eggs, and some of them as a side line at that. We are afraid that desirable uniform high quality is not always placed on the market.

The time would appear to be ripe for some type of central tig- ency to improve bargaining pow- er and exercise closer supervision over quality if this Province is going to hold its egg business.

Grass Silage

It is likely that more farmers will be putting up grass silage this season. For the farmer who does not wish to Invest in a permanent silo and the necessary equipment and who does not have suitable location for a trench. the following plan may be the solution:

A temporary silo made of snow fence and lined with specis1pa- per costing Ill all slightly over i.R50.00 could be filled by hnnd pro- vided the grass or clover were cut when front six to ten inches in height. Vile feel that If the material were carefully spread and well tramped that silage of really good quality would result.

This plan is not recommended as a. permanent solution but as one which the farmer who wishes ttlwdlry out grass silage might con- s or.

"I'm Mr.

Marketing Case

The Marketing Board case was expected to come up on April 28th but has been postponed for one week to give the Province more time to prepare their statements in support of Bill 32.

Whether a decision. if unfavor- able, will be handed down in suf- ficient time to permit amendments to the Act at the present session of .Parlis.rnent. remains to be seen. Certainly. this is a case which is developing much inter- est and the outcome of which will be of ocnsldersble significance. not only to farmers but. also to Pro- vincial Governments.

Warbie Fly Campaign

There are still many of the dis- tricts which carried out treatment of cattle for warbles last year which have not ordered supplies so far. It is essential that treat- ment be repeated this year if full value is to be obtained for the work done last. year. The warble fly cannot be controlled by one year's treatment.

Reef Prices

Agricultural officials are present- ly in Ottawa to work out details of the Government's plan to sup- port beef prices in Canada. Island cattlemcn will be interested iii the relation that. our prices will bear to the floor established at Toronto.

As the Maritime: are I. defic- Iency area in beef production there would seem to be no sound rea- son why we should accept the Toronto price less freight, in fact. there is some very good arguments to support the view that the price here can very well be the Toronto price, plus freight.

Certainly, any beef shipped into the Maritimes from Toronto would have the freight added on. There- fore, local production should sell at a comparable level.

'I'oscbors' Convention

The address of Dr. Phillips at the annual meeting of the Teach- ers' Federation provided material for some serious thought. We are inclined to agree with the Doctor's statement that secondary or High School education should be avail- able to many more if not all peo- ple, rather than only to the” select few who manage to clear the many hurdles which hold back or discourage a large number of av- erage students. The Doctor ques-

tn tioned the possibility of our one-

room schools doing justice to Grades Ix and X which, he felt, should be taught. in a rural high school serving a wide area. ,

We know that. the idea of trans- porting pupils any distsnce is not rig to be 0 popular one and there will be difficulties to sur- mount but eventually this type of school is going to appear.

New Hog Grades

Ontario hog producers have of- flcislly gone on record as approv- ing the new hog grades which have been up for discussion for some time.

The promoters of these grades feel that they relate the dressed carcass more closely to the fin- lshed product and will provide a wider weight range in the A grade but keeping in mind the tact that different. weights within the same quality grades are not all worth

the same money.

Cord Of Thanks
