C. U. C. Congress It has been recently announced that the 1952 Congress of the Co- operative Union of Canada will be held in Ottawa. March 1st. to 7th. important problems coming up for discussion this year, are of inter- ftst to all our people. they are rredit policies, insurance. fisher- ies development; co-operative BC- rounting, auditing policies. etc.: and me co-operative development foundation. I As is pointed out in the C. U, 0. Bulletin there are many new problems facing co-operatives in these changing times and it is necessary that representatives from the ten provinces get to- gether to discuss those pi blems and plan practical and co-ordin- Mod policies. Radio and Newspaper Men Work- ing Together on Farm Orgnnisation Problems Farm Radio Forum has enlisted the wisdom of the men behind the editorial desks of canadais leading agricultural journals. on Mon- day's discussion. Forum members will hear a newspaperman's view on the question "what's wrong with our Farm 0rganlaations?," The panel will include. Mr. Watson Porter, Editor-in-Chief of the I-'Irmer'a Ad t , Mondon. On- tario: fin. Harold Pry, Editor, The Vountry Guide, Winnipeg; Mr. Len Nesbitt, Publicity Director. The Alberta Wheat Pool. Calgary; M r, O. R. Evans, The Family Hor- ald and weekly star. Montreal. These men have, since the Fed- eration of Agriculture was formed in 1935. watched ca.i'efully, its pol- icy. its membership trend, and re- ported 0. F. A.'n influence in can- adlan affairs 'to their rural sub- scribertsl Therefore. Faun Ponirn. aware of the desk editor's know- ledge of public opinion, know that the problems of farm organizat- ions will meet with critical. but unbiased scrutiny. A Their chief question will prob- Hbly be the criticism 'someti.ines made that cooperatives and com- modity groups dominate the Fed- vration in most provinces. and hence in the national body too. It is said that these groups often send paid officials and employees as delegates to Federation confer- cnces. Do these delegates speak for the farmer or do they express the "Commercial" point of view of their own business organizations? Uri Monday we will hear whether the Canadian Federation of Agri- culture, in the eyes of Canada's farm ediiors..is guilty of this or other related criticisms. , Local. Projects As a result of the recent County annual meetings and the Provin- cial annual meeting there are sev- vral local projects which have been recommended and me now receiv- ing the attention of your board of zlirectors and Federation offic- ii S MP!!! of the recommendations made call for further information Wu developed mu?-"I ouoiaud Supreme Comander say. "Farmers in Europe must do all "in their power to increase food production." General Eisenhower said: "Agri- culture ia the basic industry of mankind and plays a highly im- portant part. in maintaining peace." Without high productivity on our fanns," he said, "there can be no success." He continued. "In common with all other citizens. farmers are also required to provide your share of the people that make up our Arm- ies, Navies. and Air Forces, Thus, the farm groups which you rep- resent are not only great bene- ficiaries of a tree system of gov- ernment, but are one of the basic bulwarks of the strength that ,will allow this system to endure. Government Figures Show Corporation Profits At New High More than a billion dollars in profits were piled up during 1950 'l:y a total of 626 companies in- cluded in the latest Bank of Can- ada statistical summary of cor- poration profits. The central bank return showed that the 806 had made a total of 31,063.21 thousand last year in profits before taxes. This was an increase of about 25 per cent over the 1949 figure of 5844.4 thousand, More significant are the totals of profits left as "net income to stockholders" after taxes have been paid. These are substantial. and have been increasing. l-1ere's a summary of the "net. income” figures recorded by the Bank for key industrial groups over the last few years: . A 1946 1947 . 1948 1049 1950 (Millions of Dollars) 13.0 16.8 21.5 21.8 23.5 31.2 49.1 71.2 02.8 87.6 14.6 20.5 31.1 33.6 41.2 16.1 30.6 46.4 60.3 64.7 70.4 104.6 137.7 111.6 129.3 12.5 15.3 19.3 21.7 24.6 15.2 16.2 19.1 19.5 21.5 or survey before definite plan of action is decided upon. However. as was pointed out by several dele- gates to those meetings, some of those projects are so urgent, little or no time can be lost. We refer hero topoultry marketing, the riipid changes taking place in the dairy industry, the reorganization and strengthening of the local units of the Federation, rural electrification. land settlement pol- icy, marketing legislation, etc. As soon as our delegates return from Montreal. a Provincial Board meeting will be held and other definite plans for acting upon thpse problems will be decided upon. one project which we hoped to effect around the first of this year was a system of getting cost of production figures from year to year in the province, However. it was found that this was such a complicated question that there was not sufficient time available to prepare for it to cormrnenoe January 1st. It is also an expensive project if it is to be done properly and it may be that it will have to be in- stituted as a joint project of the Federation and the Provincial Government and supervised by people trained and qualified in this particular work. However, the importance of this has not been lost. sight of and as soon as it. is possible to work out a system of this kind, it will be established. ltflrie Tragedy The terrible tragedy in the Steliarton Mine early in the week reminds us how necessary it is to have some protection and organiz- ation to fall back upon in times of disasf.9r. The help given the families of those accident victims by Labor Unions should illustrate to us again the need for similar policies within our Federation, The increasin risks of farming today and the lncreaslng number of farm accidents on the Island in recent years, should justify the support of Federation member to a Blanket Accident Insurance Policy which is now being studied by your directors. An announce- ment on the details of this policy will aso be made in the near fut- ure and will be discussed during the series of re-orgnlzation meet- ings which will be held throughout the province during the spring months.

Show, Deputy Min- lsteriof Agriculture: The potato position in both Canada and the United States is still somewhat confused since the announcement of ceiling prices South of the Border. It is antic- ipated that this situation will be clarified with the next report on potato stocks and as the trade -becomes adjusted to new trading levels and conditions. Some Am- erican experts recognize a cha- otic situation and prophesy black markets as experts take place to an uncontrolled and short Cana- dian market. It is felt that prices will soon strengthen and be jam- med against the American ceil- mg. In the meantime. in the face of widely divergent views buying in the United States has been drast- fcally slowed down. In Maine where the shipping point ceiling ha; been placed at 33.60 for U. S. 1 grade per cwt. very little crit- icism has been board. This price differed but slightly with Maine market levels at the time the ceiling went on. ' in the meantime Canadian prices, while easing very slightly, are nevertheless very sluggish. There has been very little move- ment in potatoes from Prince Edward Island of late, but New Brunswick is apparently shipping out large quantities to Canadian centers. It is generally felt. how- ever. that the present situation will gear up shortly and that de- mand will assume the proportions that supply conditions dictate. it is noticed that Maine pota- toes are coming in to the Mont- real and Toronto markets. Ship- ments from this Province to date number about 1716 cars by rail as against 2.30! for the same per- iod last year and 475 cars by water. The following is a report from various points in the Province as at today's date: Tlgnish: Taablestock-'-52.05 per bus. at the car. No seed moving. O'Lea-ry: Tablestock-014.80 to s2.oo per bus. at the farm unguid- ed. All being graded into small paper bags. No seed moving.

Bulk No. 1 Feed Screenings 32.85; Ground No. 2 Feed Screenings 03.00 bag- ged. delivered. The protein situation continues very tight with linseed and fish- meal pt-aclically off the market. The offerings of millfeeds are also drying up and the market is tight. Bran, shorts, and mid- dlings. by carlot. are 008.50. 509.50. and 370.50 respectively. De- liveries at the Lakeheacl on grains are six to eight weeks be- hind. Farmers requiring feeds should keep ample supplies on hand and parties having grain and mixed feed to offer for sale should get in touch with this Department. Wool Wool niiiirkeis have shown some stability during the closing weeks of 1951 with prices to growers hovering around the fifty cent level. After the unpredictable drop in the market last year no one will hazard is guess as to where wool prices may go. At the present moment there does not seem to be outstanding con- fidence in the market. It might be interesting to know that the war-time stock pile of wool is gone and mills are lightly stock- ed. They are buying on a hand to mouth basis. This was due to the unfortunate break in prices which caught many firms in a financial squeeze. The future for wool, however. from all indica- tions. is to my mind, reasonably promising. Eggs and Poultry . The quotation; this week '01: eggs cover the Charlottetown, Summerside. Western and Eastern areas. This is done because some complaints have been received that the quotations applied most specifically to the Charlottetown area. and it is contended that the price to producers could not be as high in the outlying portions of the Province as the cost of transportation would have to be taken off the delivered price. The present method of quoting from different points should help to clear up this particular item. "I want to bring home to the producer of poultry and eggs in this Province the fact that if we are going to compete with pro- ducers in some other areas we will have to (in the street ver- nacular) pull up our socks' and step out a little more briskly than we have been doing." Mr. Shaw stated. "Do we realize that the market for Island eggs at some points in the Maritimes. for instance Moncton. is. in the retail stores about four cents be- low. that of eggs from competing areas. Nova Scotia. particularly in the Annapolis Valley area, and through its large operators, is making an impressive record on the market with its eggs which are uniformly of high quality and merit. "We must admit that there is lack of that uniformity in eggs going out from this Province. Between sixty and severity grad- ing stations are no doubt doing a good job by themselves. but with the small quantities each sta- tion has to offer. and sixty or severity different units selling 9885. it is almost impossible to bring about that uniformity of packaging. colour. and quality that is 50 outstanding in com- petitive service. "Coming back to the producer. eggs are not delivered at the time of year often enough to the Grading Station and are possibly stored at home under a variety of conditions which can effect qual- ity. it is useless to complain of differentials in prke if we are not ourselves, through our Grad- ing Stations. our production pro- cesses. and our marketing tech- niaues. doing a top job. Regional ilrsiiizi Festivals Start In Vancouver ......a & - VANCOUVER. Jan. 11 - (OP)-' A "sincere but patchy" perform- ance of Emlyn Williams' "Til (.'orn Is Green" by the Vancouver Little Theatre Association lall right led off the four-play British Columbia Regional Drama Fea- tival. Adjudicator Pierre I..efcvre said that it was difficult to set a stan- dard because this was the first d scores of plays he will see acrod Canada. He said he intended to "tread warily" at first. perhaps becoming "more cruel and daring" in ad'- judlcatlng later plays. Mr. Lefevre drew a laugh froll the audience when he said that the English spoken by the actors had been so good he "wasn't conscious of any of the actors being Cana- tili.ns." The Welsh speech and singing in the play also had been handled well. Costumes were good. Mr. LeFevre will he in Charlotte- town on Feb. 12 to adipdicate thl L.'I'.C.'s production of the three- nct drama "I..adles' In Retire- ment.” -';To my 'nd the poultry in.- dustry of Firms Edward Island faces a serious future and it is the responsibility of the produc- ers. dealers. and the trade. to evolve an improved method of merchandizing. grading. and pro- duction. Betier housing conditd ions, better stoi-ages on the farm. prom-pter deliveries. and contra)- ized merchand-izing. and the elim- ination of all practises that keep prices down to the private pro- ducer, would appear to me to be very vital necessities if we are to maintain our industry on I profit making basis." Egg receipts have shown a dd- inite increase although bad road conditions are holdin up sup- plies. sales are ady.
