Among The Farmers- Federation of Agriculture Newsletter TAKE ONE g . . . . .. FAST OR BLOW The Federation of Agriculture has offlcialLv gone on record as gupporttng standard time for the Province and as standing for adherence to the laws of the Province. in this attitilde the or- ganlsation has. we believe, the gupport of the large majority of the rural people and we hope of a section of urban dwellers as well. The human animal is constant ly called upon to make adjust- ments. In fact. the capacity to live a happy life to a large ex- tent is associated with the abil- ity to adjust to changes of a wide variety. The City Council in Char- lottetown is apparently aware of the human animals ability in this respect and has finally decided with respect to time that change in for the sake of change in good for the human system. Large metropolitan areas are not under the necessity of order- ing their affairs to suit the rural dweller but in many cases the dweller in such cities holds a high regard for farm people and exhibits respect for rural opinion. in this Province. most of one ur- ban people are not more than one generation removed from the farm and for this reason may be under fairly strong com- pulsion to establish the fact'of their severance from rural life. This state of mind is. in the "mu town, quite frequently re- flected in an overBF0Wll deter- mination to exhibit little if any regard for rural opinion and even less respect for the convenience of the rural population. Farmers are repeatedly being told that in this Province they are very im- portant people and that the pros- perity of the Province depends to a large extent upon the farm. However, this belief does not ex- tend to a number of Town Coun- cils which are displaying an al- most neurotic approach to the problem of keeping the rural poll- ulatlon in its proper place. REPORT FROM ENGLAND The Islandis farmer representa- tive in England Archie Johnstone in a recent letter reports being in attendance at the Annual Meet- ing of Young Farm People in London. England. The following is an extract from his letter: We were platform guests at the Annual Meeting of the National Federation of Young Farrners' Clubs. which gave us a splendid view of the President's bead kom behind. la la the Duke of Norfolk. E.M.. K.G.. PC., (3.0. V.0., who gave a very fine speech to the young Farmers gathered in London from all parta of Eng- ine" and Wales. The Scottish g l. liciniz separate. doee not - meet with them. - his speech His Grace men- tioned the good work done by the Young Farmers groups hroughout the Nation and that he had every confidence in them, h in as a group and as individu- . a s. This still being a free coun- try. he said, you are in the for- tunate position of being either able to take my advice or dis- mzartl it. His advice waa of course. that they should carry on the good work that they had al- ready done ae well in and if possible expand and , pare to do even a better iob in the int- ure. There were several outstanding features about the meeting which I think might be mentioned. First tion there were almost as many girls as there were boys. Secondly I was amazed at that ability as effective speakers. a training which apart from a few groups, is lacking at home. During the day there were many abort epeechea and sometimes a mild argument. but nevt at an time did the meeting get out of hand With few exceptions the speak- ers were able to express them- IGIVGI Wm! .clarity and conviction and in very careful English. They themselves give much of the credit for this training to the Young Farmer's Clubs." FARMERS UNION ' Toward the latter part of May. the Pralriejfarmcrs Unions met the Agricultural Committee of the l-louae of Commons and plac- ed on record the following de- manda: (1) Parity prices for farm pro- ducts sold to Canadian consum- crs (Parity prices are those re- lated in a fair way to the price goods the tamer has to buy.) (1) Government guaranteed floor prices on all farm pro- ducts exported from the country. (I) A Royal Commission to in- vestigate Canadianlgrain handl- I. (4) insurance to cover crop fall- uree with premiums borne joint- ly by farmer. Province. and Fed- eral Government. (5) The world grain bank to make surplus grain available to hungry countries. (6) Financing of loans to mar- keting boards through the Bank of Canada rather than through chartered banks. FARM FORUM CONFERENCE This year's National Conference of Farm Forum ia taking place at Bristol. a few miles above Ot- tawa. and in the Province of Que- bec. The .Conference concludes today with a meeting of the Na- tional Board. Thia meeting will make final decisions on topics for the coming year and will lay down general policy for the development of the National pro- gramme. Those interested in the further- ance of adult education will have thl opportunity on the Tlth. Ziith, and 29th of June at St. Dunstnn'a University to observe and take part in the Atlantic Regional Con- ference for adult education. The theme of the conference "Look- ing ahead in the Atlantic Pro- vincea" is one calculated to at- tract the intareat of all who be- lieve in the future of those Pro- vinces by the sea. Included in tin plnelg which will discuss the future of the Atlantic Provinces are a number of individuals from outside the area who will. it is hoped. bring some fresh ideas to bear upon the problem. TARIFF HEARING Next Monday the Tariff Board will receive Bdefe from the var- ious Provinces and organiuti ns interested in a better deal or Canadian growers. Up to this point. the Tariff Board has not been asked to make any recom- mendations to the Government on the question but has been in- tructad to gather all available in- formation on the production, mar- keting, export and. import of po tnloes. If the request of the in- dustry for an increase in receiv- ed in a favourable light. action cannot be takn without the con- sent of Parliament.

JUNE SET-ASIDE By now every dairy farmer in the Province will have been M. vised of the fact that unless he directs otherwise his milk or cream cheque will be reduced by one cent on each pound of but- terfat produced in the month of Jllne.

This year,'however, the price of but. ierfat will be reduced one cent and .this fact will be noted on the patron's statement.
