.-Aflfooiaire for Every Friday-3 Among The Farmers Federation or Agriculture llows

production and Surplus Supply

The Hon. Mr. Abbott in his re- marks at the Charlottetown Hotel on Tuesday evening suggested that our tax burden might be eased in either of two ways-a lessening of international tension and by greater production of goods in Canada.

The first. said Mr. Abbott, could not be depended upon. the sec. oitd, had possibilities.

The Philosophy of increased pro- ductlon certainly appeals to Cana. dlan agriculture which at the mo- ment ll srlndinz along in second gear. plagued by surpluses and intimidated by the prospect of lower returns even at the pre- sent production levels.

Agriculture will not expand or be prosperous if the energies of the Canadian farmer are confined in large part to the feeding of fifteen million people. Increased production in agriculture is only sound if and when export markets can be widened out and this de- pends to a large extent on solving problems of International ex- rliunite. 'a problem with which the Conference of Commonwealth Prime Ministers can be expected to tackle with vigor in November.

The Farmer and Defence

Approximately one half the four and one half billion taxation bill is being used to finance past wars and present and future defence.

From an agricultural standpoint, the effect of present high defence expenditures are varied. One re- sult clearly apparent is that these expenditures have forced farming vosis up, but have had no great effect in widening markets.

The farmer must compete with high wages paid in defence and other industries and the heavy loss of manpower has imposed the necessity of buying more and more machinery, cost of which is continually rising due in part to defence competition forrthe basic steel and other metals.

In short, defence spending has meant to the far er--higher taxes. higher costs. an -few clearly as- sociated higher returns.

Fsnn Forum

Last year sixty Farm Forum groups operated in the Province and within the ne. few weeks the Forum season will, once again, get under way.

It is not too soon for Forum officers to start thinking on re- organizing for an early start. We feel that there is room for many more groups and communities which are prepared to spend one night a week throughout the win- ier will receive valuable returns in education. social contacts and community improvement.

The objective this year is one hundred groups and this can be achieved by the active Forums

Farm Forum is a means by which other organiza- tions interested in education and community improvement can furth- er their own objectives. Any movement among rural people is bound to benefit by organized study and it might appear that the Federation. Women's Inm. tutes, Department of Agriculture, and Co-operatives have not been making the full use of this ready- giadie study program waiting to be

Farm Forum In India

Evidently visitors to this coun- try from India saw something of value in the Farm Forum idea as Indian delegates to the Common- wealth Parliamentary Associations meeting stated that India now has a similar National service.

India has been known as a back- ward country, but as one ready to proceed as rapidly as possible with the enlightenment of its people. hence the adoption of the Farm Forum idea.

Wheat Is Still King

The publicity given the oil boom in western Canada might perhaps Rive the impression that farm pro- duction is taidng a back seat, this view would be very wide of the mark.

Alberta's oil is expected to be worth this year about two.hun. dred million dollars, but even it-'3ViIl8 the wheat out, Albdrta'I 905”? Zrain will exceed in value, by fifty million dollars. its oil.

To put it simply, western grain is ten times as valuable for this year as western all. Some idea of the size of the crop may be arrived at from the statement that it would take three trains of box cars, each holding thirty gong, stretching from Halifax to Van. COUVBP to move it. or that if the pile it would be one thousand feet long, a thousand feet wide, and one thousand feet high - that when: W0U1d give every Canadian citizen a pound of bread per day for the next eight years. .

Maine Potato Prices

The daily potato bulletin on the Maine Dotato crop contains for October 6th a comparison in prices for the same day over the past five years. The prices quoted Are by the barrel at Presque Isle:

For 1952 .. .. 4.50 to 4.75 1951 2.50 to 2.65 1950 1,42

1949 .1 1948 . 1947 .

It is significant Maine prices are

2.00 to 2.25

that almost double those of a year ago and more than three times 1950 prices.

Potato Harvesting

Light rainfall and freedom from frost have resulted in potato vines remaining green nnd pm. ducing in general A late potato harvest. In many cases, spraying with vine killer has not been too effective indicating a determin- ation on the part of potatoes to live as long as possible.

It might be too much to expect that the unbroken fine weather would persist through October. but potato growers would appreciate at least two week: more.

Corn Ha rvesi

The past season has been ideal for fodder corn and even the later varieties such as Longfellow pro- duced good ears-the really val- uable feed portion. scanty pas- tures made a patch of corn of real value to the dairymen and il always good insurance for sus- taining production.

Farm Accidents

Two recent fprm fatalities. one involving livestock, the other ma- chinery. serve to emphasize the ever present possibility of serious accident: in farm work. Some mishaps may be foreseen and pro- vided for, others come about through a false sense of security developed in the daily routine.

Bulls are always potential kil- lers but long years of good be- havior often produce a false sense of security on the part of the owner. it is usually a quiet an- imai who turns killer while the unruly one is carefully watched

All too often we look upon mic- robes as being only forces for evil. Nothing could be further from the truth. Indeed microbes are as es- sential as the air we breathe and the water we drink. If it were not for these minute creatures we should have no plant life. Microbes. at work in the soil transform the malodorous manure into food suit- able for children of the plant kingdom.

How they manage this amazing feat is due to their number. It has been estimated that the bacteria. in the upper foot of soil of a one- acre plot of ground weigh nearly half I. ton. '

Under favourable conditions, div- isions of cells may occur every 20 minutes, but assuming 2. slower rate of one division each hour we would have at the ehd. of one hour two, at the end of the second hour, 4, and at the end of the third hour. 8. In 24 hours 16,696.25 would be pre- sent, in 48 hours, we would be able to count 282 billion, and in 72 hours. 5,738 million million millions. Their progeny if placed end to end would extend to the moon and nearly half- way back again. Think of it!
