MacDonald. Agriculture Minister for Nova Scotia. said in an address prepared for delivery today to the annual meeting of the Can- adian Federation of Agriculture that the three most important factors in a readjustment of agricuitures “un- balanced economy" will be national organization. planned production, and national marketing legislation. "The situation is such today that our farmers are confronted with an increasingly unbalanced economy because of constantly receding farm prices and advancing prices of the commodities they have to buy." he said. "It is imperative not only for our own Well-being in the farming industry but for . . . the whole na- tion that. solutions be fotmd for the serious problems we face." Of a national organization farmers. he said “ . . . we will never obtain the solution we need until we can send our delegates to Ottawa. as representing a great national bodv . . . Keep these mat- ters out of party politics, but let us unite as a people engaged in the greatest single industry Canada has . . . Then we can speak elfectively to the national governing body." He said planned production is “one of the things we need most . . . a system under which . . . each section of the country would be producing what it can best pro- duce and. would be in a. position to do this on a sustaining basis." Because of transportation dis- tances to the Maritimes for teed, it was “most difficult" for farmers there to proa-uce "butter. bacon. eggs. and cheese at a profit. es- pecially when the prices of those articles are pegged( and nothing is tdone about the costs of produc- ion. "From now on the value of in- creasing production of food pro- ducts will become more apparent. In the last Great War . . . the first two years of the war weie dif- flcuft years for agriculture. After- wards there arose a great need for agricultural products and a. the level of prices for these pro- ducts. I fully believe that we are not far from that point in this war." National marketing legislation was needed to “permit our proper competition with other countries having state marketing legislation in agricultural products. ‘This has become a highly com- petitlve business. ‘The competitive price cutting methods of private ex- ploltlers can only end in disaster in meeting competition on our own or foreign markets. We must have some . . . fonn of orderly market- ing if we are to avoid disaster." He termed post-war rehabilitation as a problem of "even greater mag- nitude" than the others. an" 511171 that in Nova. sootia a committee la securing information on forms that wi‘l be available for soldiers who wish to settle on forms after the I W51’.
