Farm Forum

The season Just pamed has been for Farm Forum one of the most successful to date. with a. high average I umber reporting each wed: and increased interest in the part of the members.

The need of community organiza-

tion is becoming increasingly ap- parent and we would suggest that Farm Forum offers an excellent means of developing the sort of spirit and action which will result in improvement. higher living standards and a greater satisfac- tion from farm life. , I Six new members representing the Forums have been elected to the committee and bring with them a keen interest in Forum work and ability to foifter further improve- ments ln the program.

Vocational School

Early in the week upwards of twenty five young farmers gathered at the Vocational school for the purpose of increasing their know- ledge of the many matters which go to develop a well balanced farmer.

We met with the group on Mon- dsy night and the keenmem and interest of thme men demonstrated the fact that we have young people who are keenly interested in forming and are determined to equip themselves in 'the best possible manner.

We foresee the Vocational School rendering an increasingly valuable service to the agriculture of the province. a service which can be provided in proportion to the de- mand of our people for broader information and technical skills. necessary for successful farm operation.

Welcome Snow

we fancy that most farmers wel- comed thia week's snowfall as I. means of doing the type of hauling which bush work cells for. Piles of firewood grew'apsoe this week and April will see the usual activity in preparing next season's fire- wood, 1

Like most other things, snow in moderation is fully appreciated and an over abundance is a nuisance and a heachdhe.

seldom if ever at this time of the year have eggs commanded such good prices and the pl'D5DOCL! are for generally satisfactory values until some time in 1954. Even with increased lutchlnga, this spring. it will take some time for production to overtake con- sumptlon.

Good care and good feeding of the laying flock will pay dividends in the coming year.

Fraser Valley

we have recently received the annual report of the Fraser Valley Milk Producer-s' Association. some idea of the sin of this fa.rmexu' business may be obtained in the fact that t2.447.N2.00 were paid out for ,wIlH and salaries and over five million dollars to other industries for supplies and services.

Daylight Saving

Wvith regard to proposals for establishing daylight saving time in municipalities, the brief states:

"We have no reason to believe

mittlng the advantages to 1 rather limited section of urban people, we do feel that the dislocation and inconvenience caused by daylight saving time is unwarranted and unjustifiable. We believe our rural people are prepared to co-operate with those who wish to open and close their business at an earlier hour; in this manner the incon- venience and loss will fell upon those who receive the advantages."

The Potato Industry

"In many respects," the brief states. "1952 was one of the most satisfactory potato years ever ex- perienced. Extrcmcly high prices last. spring combined with a bum- per crop. a heavy movement and satisfactory prices in the fall. pro- duced a high net revenue.

”Wc believe that the Potato Marketing Board was partly re- sponsible fonsustainlng good prices. and that it's contribution in this respect is realized by the majority

cessful clarification of both Do- minion and Provincial Marketing Legislation. Organized f a r m e r :4 throughout Canada fully appreci- ate the efforts of our farmers in this respect.

"In order to finance it's own op- erations, and to provide funds for a disease control and promotional program initiated by your govern- ment. the Potato Board found it necessary to impose direct license fees on all concerned. With 8. very large number of growers involved, collection of such fees is a major task.

"The initiation of any large number of prosecutions is both burdensome and . expensive. It would appear that less cumbersome methods of providing finances must be arrived at. We, therefore. re- quest that several amendments to the Provincial Marketing Act be made so that Marketing Board finances can be legally obtained in a more efficient manner.

Limitation Of Acreage

"There is apparently a. strong feeling among a majority of our farmers that limitations on indiv- ldual acreage should be imposed to the end that production will re- maln with bone. tide farmers, and within reasonable volume.

"If this suggestion should meet with your approval we request that authority be given the Potato Boiml in this respect.

"The Agricultural Council has recommended that the number of members on the Potato Board be increased to ten, to include six growers and four dealcns. This

Livestock

"During the past fifteen years due to the increased use of ground limestone stimulated by govern- ment policy. greater use of chem- ical fertilizer and purchases of imported feeds. the production of hay and grass has increased in this province, to the”point where under normal conditions we have insufficient cattle to make efficient use of the fodder.

icy.

"One of the first steps in devel- oping artiflclalinsemination would be the provision of a veterinarian to specialise in sterility problems in cattle. such an official could work in co-ordinstlng the efforts of farmers and Departments of Agriculture in laying a ground- work for artificial breeding, a de- velopment which we feel is worthy of careful consideration at an early

framing of regulations under ”An Act For Control as Eradication of Bangs Disease", to the end that reasonable precautions may be enforced for the protection of our presently favourable situation.

"For some time put the Domes- tic Animals Act has beer! the sub- lect of resolutions in farmer's meetings and we suggest that the Act could benefit in the light of modern conditions by revision. A committee of livestock breeders is prepared to confer on this matter with your Department of Agricul- ture at the pleasure of the Minis- ter.

Veterinary Service Policy

"Under the Veterinary Service Policy, valuable aid is being pro- vided livestock breeders. It is re- grettable, but not necessarily dis- turbing that a number of the vet- erinariana have left the service This situation may take some time to correct before a sufficient mim-

P-AGE THREE

On most of the occasions when a man stands at the crossroads of decision, he calculates the prob-

the two. But there are also times when no such calculation is pos- sible, the future is so indetermin- ate and so dependent on his pres- ent action.

There are even momenta when he must defy the consequences he fol-sees and venture his all on what the imperative of conscience requires. To default at such I time is to forfeit his manhood. To be equal to the demand is to rise to a new level in selfhood.

What happens in such a case is not so much that one decides. but rather that a decision is made for one, and that one can but consent thereto. Sometimes it is as if the deed to be done existed in advance of the door, as though it waited for him and now comes to him like an angel of destiny, to be welcomed or rejected. a

The grandeur of duty lies in its very simplicity. The heroic souls do not think of themselves as heroes: they act no part. before

they say that they act as they do because they must. It is what the .

occasion requires of them. and how

could they be unfaithful to it?

In the hour when a man gathers his whole self to do the deed to which no conditions are attached,

"The butter stored by the Dairy Products Board in the government cold storage. is coming out in ex- cellent condition, s. fact which suggests the possibility of having Charlottetown designated as a purchasing point by the Dairy Products Board. thus relieving our producers of freight charges to Halifax and Saint John.
