AMONG THE FARMERS
Federation of Agriculture Newsletter
PASTURE IMPROVEMENT
By mid-April the farmer’s fancy begins to turn to thoughts of green grass and pasture for grazing animals. To add to this interest is the announcement re- cently made that the Provincial Department of Agriculture and the Dairymen’s Association plan to jointly sponsor a pasture im-
competition for the sason. Also involved are the Beef Breed Groups w are puting up a portion of the prize money
There are pastures and pas- @ures, certainly a plot of land which would produce tess than a ton of hay to the acre can not be expected to produce a heavy ton- mage of grass. The possibilities in improving grass production are eimost—unlimited._One
acre of Pasture can produce more than ten of poor.
Generally the standard prac- tice is to pasture fields after two or three crops of hay. Such fields unless fertilized and manured usually do not have a very thick god, for the most part it is made up of Timothy—not a very good grass. It takes some to develop a real good sod with manure and fertilizer, pos- sibly three years is about the minimum and i ement can be continuous for many years af- ter that under the proper type of management.
The Pasture Improvement Competition will, it is hoped, serve a useful purpose in directing at- tention to the better management of pasture areas and the possibil- ities in making more money out of grass. Farmers are invited to submit their applications to the office of the Dairymen’s Associa- tion, Box 546. Charlottetown. BARN WIRING
Electricity is a very great time and energy saver and one of the finest conveniences that can come to the farm. However, there are some drawbacks and some haz- ards, the latter particularly as- sociated with barn wiring. in barns where livestock is kept there is bound to be moisture and moisture is a great enemy of elec- trical wiring. With more barns being wired it is very likely that there will be an increase in fires as a result. While the wiring may

be quite satisfactory at time of installation yet there will be changes made in effecting re pairs to buildings and .in the stor- ing of crops which will produce stresses in the wiring capable of causing trouble.
A farmer’ should not take the condition of his barn wiring for granted, he should be conscious of it and keep it under observa- fion at all times. In addition an
inspector will point out ved ded
repairs.
HAY PROSPECTS
One of the) first things which the farmer attempts to appraise when the snow leaves, is the con dition of the .new meadows. Usually after a winter when the ground has been well covered with snow the clover will appear quite green amd vigorous look- ing. This does not seem to be the case this spring, exposure to wind and cold has seared the plants and there is not too much evi- dence of growth above ground. However, this does not mean that the root system is not healthly or not capable of producing a crop. To the present time night freezing and thawing does not ap- pear to have been of a nature to injure the root system of the plants.
WORKMEN’S COMPENSATION
men’s Compensation has. been available to farm workers and farmers in this province, actual- ly two other provinces—Albberita and British Columbia—provide this service. In any case the number of farmers involved is small and the experience of the various commissions with them so far as the ratio between claims and revenue has not been very satisfactory. Farming has prov- ed to be a dangerous occupation and probably much greater use of Workmen’s Compensation should be made. In this province the ._premium rate is $2-per each $100 of wages paid including board. ia

provided the basis of community life. It is an interesting fact that our communities are based on our educational interests. It is a fact that this method of organization has to some extent been respon- sible for dividing our people into groups which do not have a com- mon -interest and which failed to work together effectively. To counterbalance this situation the churches brought people together from a larger area, this spiritual interest tended in part to in- crease the size of the community.
Even after educational and spiritual needs are met there is still the problem of social and economic interests. Economic in- terests tended to draw people to market centres, these garket centers may serve dozens of sec districts and perfraps a
onomic community tends to be larger in terms of area than the spiritual one. With improved transportation the social interests of the rural community tended to entertain the towns. Some difficulties arise Hhere—as—while—rural_peopie—may- be quite welcome in patroninzing commercial entertainment they may find some difficulty in es- tablishing mutual interests with people whose occupants are dif- | ferent from their own. | Involved in this are the impli-} cations of present day changes in the size of farms, use of ma- chinery so far as rural organiza- tion.is concerned. While these changes can not be stopped it is possible that some influence through planning can be exerted jto the end that there may be re- |tained the more desirable fea- jtures of family life, community | living and old time agriculture. | FARM SIZE | In 1954 the census listed the |province as having 9,432 \ farms. Of these slightly over 400 were junder 10 acres in size. Over 5,000 \fell into the size group of ten | to 69 acres and slightly over 3,000 jhad from 70 to 129 acres. The acreage referred to improved |acres, These figures indicate that a very: high percentage of our farms have less than 100 acres of improved land. A fact which indi- jcates that if small farms are a iproblem then this province has it in fine style.

COMO, Italy (Reuters)—Flags, flowens and brilliant sunshine greeted Konrad Adenauer, West Germany's retiring chancellor, when ‘he arrived Thursday by train for a three-week vacation.

United States was the corner- stone of his policy.
Die Welt said Adenauer's dif-| ferences with his allies ‘sim mered underground for* years” and in recent months have come to the surface. It declared that France had disappointed the chancellor and relations with Britain were bitter.
Die Welt said Adenauer quit | because “‘he was standing before ; a brick wall’ where he alone among Western alliés~stood against greater flexibility m dealing with the Russians.
HIT BACK
British. newspapers Thursday at Adenauer’s broad- | cast speech Wednesday in which he said “wire-pullers’’ might be deliberately undermining British- German relations, which were being “systematically impaired.”
The Daily Telegraph, Conserv- ative, said the suggestion of a plot “is absurd and Bonn should | be better informed.”

ceiling for the old age tax will be $75 for this year, instead of the eventual $90 for a full year. TAX YIELD
The increase in regular per- sonal income tax is expected to bring in $25,000,000 this year and $45,000,000 in a full year. With- out it, Mr. Fleming would have received from this tax $1,550,00,- 000 this year.
The old age security tax— from all sources — would yield $143,000,000 this year and $196,- 000,000 in a full year.
Canadian Co-ops Are Criticized
HAMILTON (CP) Canada isn’t doing much through its co- operative groups to assist under- develojied countries, a fouraman panel agreed at the annual con- ference of the Co-operative Un- ion of Canada Thurssday.
Chairman of the panel was Ida Gallant Delaney, of Glace Bay, N.S., a director of the union. Members of the discussion jeam were A. F. Laidlaw, Ottawa; A. H. K. Musgrave, Clarksburg, Ont.: A. H. Macdonald, Prince Albert, Sask., and Rt. Rev. MJ. MacKinnon, Antigonish, N. S.
“Our contribution to the Inter- national Co - aperative Alliance is less than $1.000 a year.” said Mr. Laidlaw. “‘We should increase this.”
Msgr. MacKinnon agreed, and - suggested the amount be raised to $5,000 or even $10,000.
Mr. Musgrave, who returned recently from a visit to Jamaica, reported that co-operative groups there are enthusiastic, but are fragmented, small and scattered.
“They need technical and man- agerial skill, and I believe there is many a bright young Cana- dian in our own groups who
+e!
ate as they are.” Effective this year, taxp vers;
medical expenses those amounts) paid under the hospital insurance | act.
“QUITE ANOMALOUS”
“It would be quite anomalous,” Mr. Fleming said, ‘‘to allow im come tax deductions to individ- uals for hospital care received at government expense now that the federal government is financing a very sttbstantial proportion of hospital costs.” : However, crutches and trusses now will be included in deduc- tions under medical expenses. Mr. ‘and Mrs. Carnack may be hurt by Mr. Fleming's tariff changes in a place where it hurts most—the grocery bill.
For instance, the provision for dutyfree entry of new potatoes between Jan. 1 and Juné 14 is eliminated so that the duty on all potatoes throughout the year will be 37'2 cents a hundredweight. A duty-free period of 10 wees on apples is also eliminated. One concession by Mr. Flem- ing: Taxpayers will have 90 days instead of 60 to appeal income tax assessments.
U.K.’S BEST MARKET
LONDON (Reuters) John Vaughan - Morgan, minister of state at the board of trade, told the House of Commons Tuesday that the United States is Britain’s best export market. In 1958, the value of exports to the United States was £275,500,000 ($771,-
