The education report rang- es over the whole field of edu- cation from the primary grades to that of providing scholarships for study in Europe by graduates in agriculture. Recommended as basic was the need that every farm girl or boy to be provided with grade ten education plus two years of vocaiioifal training. The report suggested the need for a non-governmental Agricultural Re- search Foundation for obtaining and spending money for research --especially in the poorly develop- ed fields of economic and social studies. The report took the view that a much greater part. of agric- ulture extension should be cen- tered in colleges and universities. this belief comes ,from the fact that much of the knowledge should 1, be spread which originates at the agricultural colleges. The report pointed out that there is a danger- ously small number of new grad- uates in agriculture and recom- 4 ” that more under graduate scholarships be established. LAND USE In this country it has been I generally accepted idea that P05- session of land entitled the owner to do with it pretty much as be pleased. This idea we regard as one of our private rights and free doms. in England which has al- ways been as a strong hold of per- sonal and democratic freedom It is interesting to note that since 1947 a 100 farm owners including a titled Ind and 276 tenants have been evicted because their farm- ing did not measure up to a min- imum standards. In North Amer- ica land has always been plenti- ful. rarely ever was carcity a problem but the population is In- creasing rapidly and that fact doubled with the marked decline in productivity. activity and fert- ility of large areas. Indicate that even in North America we may be approaching a time when land use and conservation will not re- main entirely th.'i responsibilty of the private citizen. The recent Canadian Federa- tion of Agriculture meeting de- cided that soil and conservation was of sufficient importance to merit a place of importancclat the 1957 annual meeting and It was agreed that each province would report by November 1 to the nat- ional office on this question 'with particular attention being Paid,” any policies in effect and tending to improve conservation practices. We do not think there is any far- mer who wishes to be ordered what to grow or what to use to make of his land. if this position is to be protected for the future. then land use and conservation must become a matter of concern to and received attention from farmers generally. GRADING STANDARDS Grading is established for two main purposes first being to en- sure the producer of a good prod- uct will receive more money for it than one who markets a poor one. Secondly the consumer has a right to" know the quality of the product and to receive the pro- tection of an independent grade. There is a wide variation in the There is wide variatio. in the ease with which grades may be appliediatid carried over to the consumer. for instance fruit and eggs which require very little pro- cessing lend themselves to this sort of treatment. but livestock qhich may be graded either in the live or carcass form present some difficulty in relating such Izrades to the ultimate product. The recent Canadian Federation of Agricul- turo meeting discussed at some length the problem of both cattle and hog grading. For some years a new system of grades for hogs has been under conside ruI0lI and the Canadian Federation of Agric- ulture now states that the time has arrived when active steps aREEIIIIAL's IIEw E8 ON THE PRICES SLASHED FROM 33 1-3 T 3 1 M b CAPT.

With beef the problem is somewhat different as cattle are for the most part bought from the farmer on their apparent live qual- ity. In packing plants government grades may be applied to the car- casses and settlement may be made to the farmer on these has- is. For some years it has been the standard practice to mark the red and blue ribbon on the top grades of beef. The other class- ification known as commercial has not been branded but is one for which the consumer is show- ing prcfcrence hence the sugge& tions of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture that the better qual- ity carcasses in the C grade be marked with a brown ribbon and designated in such a manner as to indicate to the consumer that here is a really good product rath- er than one which is inferior.

Professor Morse is an economist of note and his observation upon the po- iato industry should be of an im- partial and objective nature and form a study of both interest and value.
