This latter fact is in strange contrast to lhe relatively high salaries paid for nagement in business and industry. What the' urban consumers should not lose szjzht of is the fact that the com- picxiiy of modern living with mil- lion: of people crowded into urban rciiires has tremendously increas- nd iced distribution costs. costs which in no sense are chargeable lo the farmer. Saturday Night Is At It Again Saturday Night. a magazine published in Toronto and which we asume has its widest circulat- ion among business and industrial ieople rarely has anything com- plimentary or even fair to say about agriculture. It's editorial comments lead us to infer that it is unfortunate that we should have in the nation a iI19l'09mRSe of people who work in overalls. The idea that sum 1.59;- nisy be dignified has apparently not reached the editorial rooms of Saturday Night. As an example. and for the in- formation of our readers. we quote the following headed "WhatA.bout Hernemeat?" -. "I-lorserneat is reported to be selling quite extensively for hum- In ption in parts of A1- herta. and it is a source of some surprise to UK that the cattle-rais- 35- Who Supply the excellent but 00311! article with which horne- meat competes. have not started a campaign to prohibit it. If they can't get it prohibited they could at least demand that it be dyed green to protect consumers from thinking that they are eating beef. The dairy P901116. We are certain. would gladly provide suggestions: they must be getting tired of being the only people who succeed in maintaining annoying restriction; on the sale of healthy food stuff." Undoubtedly. the "Healthy" foodstuff referred to is margarine ...We are not in a position to re. marl: on thg health of the product but do have some doubts as to its healthful qualities. However. as to it's value for greasing the printing presses of Saturday Night we have no reasonable doubt. Farm Forum Conference Rural people who can arrange to attend the National Farm Plorum Conference at Amherst on June 14th, 15th and 16th will have an opportunity of gaining a clearer yinaight into an Adult Education project which is unique in itself land which is recognized in many lparts of the world as an out- istanding rural educational feat- ure. I H. H. I-lannam. president of the lcanadlan Federation of Agricult- lure, who is himself an active ,member of a Forum Study Group. will act as chairman of a number .of sessions. ' Dr. Corbett. until recently head of the Canadian Association for Adult Education. will also preside over some of the discussions. A cordial invitation is extended to those who can arrange attendance at that time. Dairy Advertising The Dairy interests of this Province have shown commend- able initiative l providing funds to assist in ih national adver- tising of dairy products and have. through the Prince Edward Island Dalrymensf Association. ,aiso car- ried on local advertising of fluid milk. butter and cheese, and thin year. ice cream as well. Dairy farmers are convinced of the high food value of their pro- ducts and also convinced that dairying as an industry is a safe- guard for a sound and stable agri- culture. Their efforts to convince con- sumers of these facts indicates commendable foresight and sound sense. 2&- Potato Aersap It 1- IPDI-Pint that potato grow- ers both in the United states and Canada are taking steps to reduce 8010386 "II! year. The recom- mendations of the P. ll.iI. Potato Marketing Board that the average should be reduced to 30 per cent appears both sennible and reason- ab e. Anyone who makes predictions concerning future potato prices Iliad! A very good chance in los- ing his reputation as a prophet. However, there does not appear to be any risk in stating that if pro- duction in ontfnued at last years level. pricesswlil be low. It is altogether likely that the acreage will be reduced by so per cent. That appears to be a logical step. But. there is apparently a substantial number of farmers who are planting no potatoes at all. a drastic procedure for the farmer who has in the past balanced up his system of crop production with a reasonable acreage of potatoes. Whether it is better for the IIYIMF In be sorry for growing potatoes rather than be sorry for "09 STOWIDS I-IIHII. we leave to his own decisio .. Early Hay Present development. or 3",, and clover indicates that haying will be early this year. and that in order to obtain the value from the 11!! crop. plans should be made to ommence haying at as early a data as possible. The purchase of high priced protein feeds outs seriously into livestock profits. At the same time Island farmers undoubtedly lose tremendous quantities of valuable protein by allowing hay to reach maturity before cutting. The making of hay is one of the the farm and no hard and faosxf most complicated operations rule can be laid down for success.

' heart Gerald Waring Reporting O'l.'1'AWA-when Defence Min- later Olnxton informed the Win- nipeg Canadian Club recently that "as fast as we can, we are building a network of large per-- manent (radar) stations with the I most modern and powerful equip- ment." he was not talking idly. Such a program actually in un- der way. designed to shield the industrial heart of Canada. in the triangle from Quebec City to Sault Ste. Marie. .0nt., to Wind- sor. There will also be a radar screen on the Pacific Coast. "Our air defence network," Glax- ton went on. "is being completely planned. integrated and organized with that of the United States so as to form a single system." About one-quarter of the com- bined American-Canadian radar defence chain will be in this country. the Min.inter disclosed. . As the crow flies-or as modern jets fly-it's not much more than 600 miles from Quebec City to the Sault. In the roughly triangular area south of that line are the industries and the people forming the greater part of Canada's wai- potential. The protection of this industrial requires a fantastically heavy outlay of money for fighter aircraft and the men to fly them. radar and air stations and the people to run them, and speedy, fool-proof communications. There must be a chain of radar stations running along an are hundreds of miles away from the potential target area. These sta- tions must stretch from the Marl- ilme Provinces through Northern Quebec and Ontario. Each one. built with much blasting and hulldozing in the wilderness of rock and forest. will cost several million dollars. And because of the limited range of radar. there must be a good many of them. For Canada to finance such a program alone would mean a very capital outlay which the country could ill afford in view of other necessary d.e f e n c e expenditures. But fortunately for us. radar warning is just as important to the United States because the in- dustrial heart of that country- and its centres of population and government as well-lies due south Savings this - coming per pair PAGE THREE ...v-.-...-....--....-.. of the Sault-Quebec-Windsor tri- angle which it is vital for us to protect. , O O C It is. therefore. a re ble as- sumption that the United States in helping finance comtruction of the radar screen. When I asked Defence Minister Ciaxton if this were so, he would neither admit nor deny it. However, there is precedent for such co-operation. The greater part of the cost of the Loren stations built in the Northwest Territories was paid by the U. 8., and the cost of the chain of weather reporting sta- tions in the Arctic Islands is shared by the U. S. The new radar program is a great enlargement of the original concept of a half dozen stations to protect Montreal. Ottawa. and the aluminum plant at Arvlda. Que. Many new sites have been selected. and at some construction is already under way. Huge or- ders for radar and otherelectronlc apparatus have been placed with Canadian companies, and the Air Forcg 1; gearing IILBCII IA) Bil!) each station with from '15 to 250 men and women. The integration of Canadian and American air defence will cause the international boundary to lose all significance. Men and planes of each country will cross it at will. in the Joint effort to intercept enemy "bombers before they reach Montreal or New York. nesumably command details have been worked out-but just what they are hasn't been reveal- ed. and isn't likely to be until an emergency arises. Then the al- ways thorny question of national. sovereignty will be iznomi "1 face of the common peril.
