"The Strongest Memory is Weaker Then I the Weakest Ink.” CBABLOTTETUWN MONDAY, SEPT. 1). 1950 T Provincial Produce Inspection The Newfoundland Federation of Agri- culture has gone on record as favoring the -inspection of imported produce at the point of entry. The proposal is not a new one, -in fact this Province has invoked similar provisions for particular purposes. It' is only reasonable that the introduction of plant or animal diseases. or of weerls, should be subject to Provincial control and the establishment of a disease-free area de- pends upon its exercise. It is quite another story, however, to use such measures as a form of economic protection for Provincial iddustry. Free trade between Provinces is one of the fun- damental characteristics of the Canadian constitution and cannot be tampered. with under colour of regulations for other pur- posals are made with the.avowed purpose of preventing the "dumping" of potatoes on the Newfoundland market by other Provinces and are consequently quite out of order. ' The Newfoundland farmer deserves well of his Government at St. John's and at Ottawa. but he cannot expect to set up trade barriers within this country for his special benefit. - Dairy Farmers Hit The Ottawa Journal notes that with all the talk of rising prices and demands for wage increases, a Government publication officially reports one large group of Cana- dians receiving considerably less incana than at this time last year. Dairy farm- ers-and there are about 400,000 of them across Canada-got 33,586,000 less for their product in June 1950 than in June 1949, and the price structure has not changed in the intervening weeks. The 18 per cent of all milk produced which goes into fluid sales has not changed in price but there have been fairly sharp decreases in the 65 per cent which goes for manufacturing-butter, cheese and can- ned and powdered poducts. In the case of cheese milk, the reduction has been-26 cts. a hundred pounds. The net result is we are making a great deal less cheese this year. "All of which," comments the Journal, ”brings up two or three interesting points. How long will farmers keep and feed cows to produce milk at these prices in view of rising costs and the demands for cattle for export and for beef? What will be the effect on the price of dairy- products should the cattle population be reduced to any great extent? Can farmers be expect- ed to continue to produce milk for manu- facturing purposes at such prices? And, this possibly most important of, all, what would happen to the cost of living should farmers in time be forced to adopt wage and hour schedules such as are becoming commonplace in organized labor? If, as a result of such low returns, milk production should appreciably decline it might well take drastic price increases to reverse the trend, in which event something really sen- sational would happen to the cost-of-living index." y unemployment insurance , In its ninth" annual report" concerning activities for the fiscal year ended March- 31, last, the Unemployment Insurance Com- mission draws attention to certain remark- able contrasts in the 12-month period. Canada, the report states, "achieved the highest level of employment in the history of the country, and also encountered the most serious unemployment since this states that during the summer of 1949 -Canada's total labour force rose to ap- winter of 1943-50 the number of persons seeking employment exceeded 3:15.000.

The fund has continued to grow year by year and crossed the half-billion mark in the fiscal year 1948-49. The report shows that displaced per- sons have been admitted to Canada to the number of 38,582. The work of placing these persons continued throughout the year but at a slower tempo than in the previous year owing to a decline in re- quests from employers for emigrant la- bour. The Nationai Employment Service of the Commission found employment suit- able to their physical capacities for mire than 11,000 handicapped persons. The personneb of the Commission re- mained unchanged during the year. The Chief Commissioner is J. G. Blsson, O.B.E., and the other two Commissioners are R. J. Tallon, and C. A. L. Murchison, K.C. The number of offices operated by the Commis- sion was in the neighbourhood of 200. Fish Meal Plant For ii.S. An important order has been secured by a British firm for 3 40-ton "Ferra- matic" fish-meal and 4 "Ferramatic" fish- pressing plants for Louisburg Fisheries Ltd., of Nova Scotia. These plants are the first of their kind manufactured in Britain, to be supplied to Canada. They convert surplus fish offal into edible meal, chiefly for cattle food. Material is fed into a ”Ferramatic" hacking machine which breaks it up and passes it to a sterilizer for "cooking". The product appears from the 44-ft. steam- jacketed drying cylinders ready for grind- ing and bagging. These units are used for treating non-fatty white fish such' as cod. For oily fish the tissues are broken down by steam in an automatic feeding ap- paratus. The semi-cooked offal then passes through a ”Ferramatic" oil press which re- moves most of the moisture with a tapered worm and special perforated cage. The liquor from the oil press is piped to an- other plaht, clarified, and used in the mak- ing of such products as soap, cosmetics and paint.
