A Feature For Every Friday Among The Farmers Fe-deratio-n or Agriculture ilews

."Spud Island"

At l.his season of the year partl- :uiarly.' we can understand why some people refer to our province as "spud island.” Throughout the country many of our farmers are in the heart of potato digging and if weather conditions permit, many island cellars and store houses will be filled to over-flowing with- in the next week or so:

Reports are that most farmers are digging bumper crops. Many potato pickers from Cape ' Breton and some from other Maritime points are employed in the pm- vince now although the number is not as large as last season. Con- siderable tuber damage from blight is reported but generally speaking potatoes have reached maturity.

Meetings

This evening your Provincial Board of Directors are meeting in Charlottetown to discuss. among other things, a Rural Research of- fice, directed by a person compet- em. to initiate research into" some- pressing social. educational, and economic problems and to act as a so-ordinaiing official for the pro- grams of several of our provin- cial organizations.

On Saturday morning the Pro- vincial Farm Forum Committee is also meeting to line up the work and finalize plans for the coming season. -

Farm Forum

on October 29th Farm Forum members across Canada, will again meet in discussion groups. Farm Forum is the greatest National discussion group program in the world; it is recognized as the most effective combination of discus- ston groups radio and printed mn. Ierisl and is making steady pro- gress as an educational medium in rural districts.

There are many interesting top- ics lined for discussion this season.

The first series will be devoted to Co-operatives which should be V"?! educational as well as inter- Pslins. Throughout the season there will be discussions on mar. keting. international relations. farm policies. etc.

We are looking forward to hear- ing.from all our old lzroups as well as many new ones. For informa- tion and material write to Box 90. Charlottetown."

Indications are at present that Floyd Grlesbach. National Farm Forum Secretary will again be in the province some time during the latter part of November. Local meetings will be held to help dis- cussion groups get under way for the ruin Forum season.

Newfoundland Trade

Since the county meetings in July continuous investigation has been carried on with regard to improving trading relations and conditions with our sister prdvince.

Transportation is a big problem and one to which a satisfactory find profitable solution is. not eas. ily found.

However. at the present time. I special committee is working on the summon and it in hoped that in the very near future some sat- isfactory arrangement (of n tam. porary nature at least) will be found or if not, the detnils of this and other related questions will be reviewed and discussed at an open

Co-Ops After Csrtels

Fro switzegland, -- Head of the world's largest co-op body on September ll backed the United States in a move before the UN Economic and Social Council at- tacking International cartels.

W. P. Watkins. director of the International Cooperative Alli- ance, supported a. resolution by Isador Lubin. U. S. delegate, call- ing for a UN Commission to study

cartel problems and recommend the form of an international treaty to outlaw undesirable practices.

Wltkins mentioned as examples of commodities hit by cartel ac- tion! wheat and-flour in Italy, sugar In Belgium and Finland:

margarine and household goods in Belgium; canned meat in the U. S; cotton fabrics in Switzerland. shoes in west Germany and "electric lamps in more than one country of west- ern Europe." x

The U. S. proposal, slightly amended. was approved. and a 10- natlon U. N. Commission will be established.

Working Together Intemation- ally

To indicate that the C. F. A does take a definite interest: in and a stand upon serious problems other than marketing; and to show how our farm organizations all over the world are working together: and to warn poultry producers of the dangers of this dreaded New- castle disease. we reproduce here a letter from the N. F. O. in Eng- land to the C. F. A.

"We have experienced in this country two types of Newcastle disease. a very virulent type ori- ginating from Central Europe. and a sub-acute form originating from U. S. A. The latter type is capable of Iiaring up into the more Viru- lent type and this is equally if not more dangerous since it may es- cape detection in the sub-acute form. The source of infection in both cases was infected i-arcasses imported for human consumption.

"It was found shortly after the present series of outbreaks start- ed In l94'l that the feeding of un- boiled household swlll, containing offal or scraps from infected car- casses. was a very big factor in spreading the disease and almost the first action of the Ministry of Agriculture was to introduce the Diseases of Animals (Boiling of Animal Foodstuffs) Order of 1947.

"The policy of the Ministry of Agriculture in relation to out- breaks of the disease is one of eradication, and all affected nooks are completely slaughtered and the owner paid compensation for the healthy birds so slaughter- ed. This is enforced by the Fowl Post Order 1966.

The difficulty of eradicating the dlkilile by the slaughter pol- icy has been increased by the con- tinued importation until May this year of carcasses from countries infected by the disease but since such importotlons were prohibited 1: is hoped completely to eradicate "The alternative policy of fight- ing the disease with inoculation would not be supported. either by us or by the Ministry of Ag;-foul- ture until it has been proved im- possible lo eradicate it, because inoculated birds remain carriers and thus we should always have the disease with us. For this rea- son no control by inoculation has so far been attempted commercial- ly, although expertments have been made by the Ministry of Agriculture and an efficient vac- cine produced.

"Measures to prevent the spread of the disc e have included the Prohibitlonwf poultry shows and markets, the prohibition of move. ment of poultry from certain areas where outbreaks were numerous. the suspension of operations by poultry dealers, and the compul. sory disinfection of crates, etc."

"I also enclose documents relat- ing to Newcastle disease which you may find of value. I would em; phasize that the Union has always fully "supported the Government in their attempts to eradicate the disease. and has co-operated most willingly in the preventive mea- sures in spite of the considerable handicaps they place on trade."

The ”C. F. A. office has been in- vestlgating this problem . all over the world as instructed at the semi annual meeting in August. Further information will be ob-
