FEBRUARY 27. 1953 t A mom for Dvery, Friday-' ' , 1 Among The Farmers "Federation of Agriculture News -----.--Q rioesapuot The attention of our readers. ms of our rural people in par- ticular, is called to the campaign now under way for the raising of funds to assist in the relief and rehabilitation of people and farm mm in the Hooded areas of Eur- 6. "pin this province, it is indeed dif- iicult to realise the suffering and visualize the damage caused by a flood of such extent. The loss of life. loss of, livestock. destruction of buildings, and the complete stopping of production for an in- definite period, all add up to a dis- aster which is worthy of every ef- fort on our part in the way of aa- sistancc. we commend this cause to the generosity of all-every Bank in the province is at your service for the acceptance of donations. Anti-Dumping hws It is quite natural that Canad- inn potato growers should view with acme concern. the duty-free movement of American potatoes into our markets. The suggestion ihat this should be stopped may. on first consideration. appear reasonable but such action could have serious and far-reaching im- plicatioitl. The fact must not be lost sight of that the United States is a aood market for Island potatoes and this movement continues in spite of the fact that many American potato growers would welcome the lessening of the trade. These matters are regulated by intematicnal trade agreements which cannot be quickly changed and any infrlngment might lead to retaliatory action. Anti-dumping restrictions can- not justifiably be imposed unless there is evidence that the product is being sold at. a lesser price then in the country of origin and there does not seem to be such evidence in this case. The risks involved in shutting off the movement of American potatoes are such as to warrant very careful consideration before such action is attempted. Culied Potatoes Recently wide publicity was giv- en the statement that Charlotte- town consumers were being treated to a diet of culled potatoes. We would suggest that the state- ment. is completely misleading and quite likely has no basis in fact. we do admit the possibility that the potatoes of a grade lower than Canada No. 1 have been offered for sale, but even the No. 2 product is a good one and is in no sense of the term "cullage." culled potatoes may be defined as those removed in the process of grading and will consist of over sized. under sized. bruised. rotten, or otherwise defective specimen s. If stock of this kind has been oi- it-red for sale. both the retailer and lhd consumer have an appropriate weapon with which to defend themselves. Paran Forum Changed To the followersoi Nationaliliarm Forum, webring thewelcome news that the national broadcasts, starting on March and. will be carried over 0.1". C. 1'. at the usual me. This change will eliminate the necessity of switching from one station to ancthe . towards the end of the program, the change.ahould be a matter oi satisfaction to all concerned. Farm short Course The attention of young farmers is directed to an announcement by the vocational School that a farm course will be offered from March ldth to zilth. Instruction will be offered in livestock first aid. animal husb- Mldry. field crops, mechanics, and other related topics. This course is an opportunity which should not be overlooked and Wine people who arrangetoattend will find the time well spent. Applications should be made at nnce to the vocational school. Loafing Barns. It is evident that in both Canada and the United states more and from the conventional type barn with stalls and atanchions and daily handling oi manure to pen barns which give the animals more freedom and make cleaning of the stable a yearly task rather than a. daily one. This type of stabling proves most. satisfactory when the following features are provided: (1) The barns must be well ven- tilated and kept cold. Warm loose housing is not satisfactory due to dampness. making it difficult to keep the litter dry and clean. (2) Ninety square feet should be provided for each cow. sixty five of this being in the loafing or rest- ing area and twenty live in the feeding area which should have a concrete floor an dthis,should be scraped off each day. (3) The exercise yard should be paved to assist in keeping the cat- tle clean and preventing the muck- ing up of the litter. (4) Cattle must be dehorned. Attention to these points. plus convenience of arrangement for feeding will undoubtedly result in a marked saving of labor gand healthier cattle. For the farmer with purebred cattle, the chief disadvantage seems to rest in the difficulty oi properly displaying the animals and this does not seem to be a very 'serious objection. " Farmer's Union A recent newscast announced that the farmer's union: of the three prairie Provinces had re- quested theiwheat Board to develop the direct sale of western cause grain to eastern farmers with a view to the elimination of specu- lation, profits to middlemen and trading on the futures market. As we have not seen any explan- ation cf the suggestion. we do not feel in a position to comment at-the moment. otherthen to remark that western farmers are apparently realising the importance of pro- viding their eastern iriends with" grain in the most satisfactory JIIIIIIIGT. Debatng and C oklnole Attention is directed to the de- bating and crokincie competitions sponsored this season by the Jun- ior Parmers Federation of Prince Edward Island- Any rural organi- zation may enter. but participants must be under thirty one years of age. Entries close on March lat, and should be directed to "Morris Den- con. Box 9. Charlottetown." Ilogs-Heavy Or Light Until quite recently hogmen be- lieved that it took less feed to make a pound of pork once the animal got over one hundred and eighty pounds. This belief has now been disproved and when the extra weight consists of fat. the feed required deiinitely increased. Hog fat is only about ten per cent water compared to seventy five per cent water in lean muscle or protein tissue. It requires 4.000 calories to produce one. pound oi fat, but only 700 aalories t pro- duce one pound oi lean meag. The relatively high value oi lean meat, as compared with fat. sug- gests that feed used in producing the latter is not being put. to very good use. Farmer's Week .

It" may also be auumed that whenever men are planning and working for ends that are truly lood their efforts are in harmony with the divine purpose. and they are therefore not cut off from divine assistance. But faith in God, which implies a u reliance upon his all- sufflcing power, is bound to exer- cise a transforming influence upon man's efforts, since it provides the link which unites him with that power and thereby creates a chan- nei through which the divine spir- it. can more freely and more ef- fectually operate. In times of emergency men are often made aware of their own limitations and of the need of a power beyond their own. "Who is sufficient for thme things?" The mood which such a question re- veals is widespread in the con- temporary world. The question may, indeed, be a cry of. despair. when men are in the grip of forces fragrance, color, rntueic, and deep humanity. ed there's no puttering around easy pots and pans. or wrestling with mechanical mixers, electric ovens, and what not.

The creations of modern science seem almost to have achieved a terrifying momentum of the! own; I-N1 While these creations have multiplied ma.n's physical capacity beyond anything dreamed of by former generations. and have add- ed much to the amelioration of life. they have also provided wes- pons of destruction which might easily and quickly obliterate all that civilization has built up in many centuries. But is man so helpless? is the machine his ty- rannical master, with a kind of blind life of its own? The mood of is lism, this sense of futility and elpicssneas. is doubtless one of the inevitable consequent.-a of the absence of faith in God. For faith in God not only gives man the assurance of the help of a power greater than his own; it gives him confidence not the psuedo-confidence of self- lifiiciency, but that which comes from the conviction that there are available resources which will en- able him to bring under control the forces threatening body and soul.
