MacLean, High Bank, referred to the annual problem created by large piles of cull in dealers warehouses much of whicliwas sold to local farmers for feed. Mr. MacLean declared that both the dealer, the farmer‘, and the some more efficient method of coping with this dangerous situa- The two resolutions first noted were brought in by the resolutions committee named at the meet- ing: Hudson Pridham, Montrose, chairman; Samuel Hume .and Darrell Picketts. The 1958 board of directors was submitted by a nominating com- mittee consisting of Robert Jar- dine, chairman; Alan Cameron and Edward Henneberry. ' Mr. Parent based his prediction of an assured future for Island farmers on a number of factors including: good soil, easily man- aged; an excellent climate for the growth of grass; many well- educated persons among the Pro- vince’s farmers" whom he termed “-the best in Canada”; good farm organizations, agmculturah de- partments and good markets. CHANGES NECESSARY Island farmers would have to make some changes to meet the challenge the future will present, the Dominion government agric- ulturist said. While predicting a marked change in Canadian agri- culture in the next 25 years. “Only seven per cent of the pop- ulation will be engaged. In agri- culture by that time.” he sold. adding that experts expected Canada’s livestock populatlon ‘£0 double in the next quarter-cem tury- .

Farm Problems (Continued from Page 2) management with little risk. “By owning the tools, of pro- duction-farm, buildings, and equipment--the farmer was not as vulnerable as an employee of a large corporation,” Mr. Dewar noted. Mr. Parentsaid he had read isame very favourable reports of this new joint-method of farm operation. but .th.oug1.1.t that... .co,-. operatives should have a larger share in its promotion. ‘ This system cut out many -middlemen and has many of the advantages of old-country tenant- farming, he said. DEPENDS ON USE i Like a dollar bill, contract farming or vertical integration was “good or bad” depending on its use was the thought express- ed by Mr. George LaBelle. As one example of_the bad as- pect of this method of farm oper- ation; Mr. LaBelle referred to the plight of the , Maine -poultry farmers. Completely tied up with a multi- million dollar corporation, their income was reduced overnight from one cent per bird per week reports the Maine poultrymen were attempting to form a union to bargain with the Corporation. The other side of the story was illustrated by a Quebec pro- ducer’s co-operative, Mr. LaBelle said. Residing in an area near the Quebec-Vermont border this group grows, processes, packages and transports daily to Montreal all the sweet corn handled by Steinberg’s, one of the largest grocery retail outlets in the Pro- vlnce of Quebec.‘ In this case vertical integration appeared towork to the advant- age of all concerned, Mr. LaBe11e noted, because many of the ob- stacles between producer and con- sumer had been eliminated, the producer keeping under his con- trol as many of these steps as possible.
