livestock, Poultry Value Decline Is Seen Really Serious Situation
BY J. LINCOLN DEWAR
We have had the opportunity of examining volume two of tna C t on community development and entitled “The Plan." The report runs to one hundred and forty-three typed pages and deserves the study of people who are interested in a public way in this province.
While not all the conclusions and recommendations will be agreed with by all readers nev- ertheless a high percentage of the report deserves objective consideration.
The section devoted to rural education is certainly worthy of study. Here are tions. “it is our conviction that the limited education-particu- larly vocational education-has contributed more to the econo- mic ills of rural Prince Edward Island than has any other fac- tor." A sin. "Having only the barest essentials of former ed- ucation, many Prince Edward Island farmers go through their chores, learning only from their experiences and those of their immediate forefathers."
The first paragraph needs to be sounded with trumpets and yet it is difficult to develop pu- blic interest in the situation. Perhaps our public people will not take the matter seriously until such time as farm par- ents accept the necessity of specialized education for future farmers. points out that
The this province has no investment
sider the setting up of a sys- tem of scholarships to encoul age promising young people in their education.
This part revrv on education deserves the serious study of a special committee set up for the purpose.
A POOR TRADE
A table in the Coombes Report sets out comparative figures based on the census terms 1951 and 1961 on the value of lands. buildings, machinery and equipment and for livestock and poultry. In 1951 the first item referred to were valued at sta- ty-four million and in 1961 at eight-nine million. We would surmise that most of this in- crease would be in machinery and equipment. However. a really serious situation is re- vealed in a decline for the value of livestock and poultry from twenty-three million dollars to seventeen million.
In plain English we seem to have traded off about six mil- lion dollars worth of livestocs in order to pay for machinery

business. Farm assets can be roughly classified as buildings and equipment and land and livestock. The first two are ones which depreciate quite ra- pidly. The investment put into them can hardly ever be recov- ered. 0n the other hand the in- vestment in land and livestock tends to increase in value and can be recovered usually with some gain. There would appear to be grounds for believing that we are in this province top-

interest in the farmer and farm- ing problems. The interest where it does exist is usually of a business nature and equat- ed with the idea of profit. Thc rural man on the other hand hasn't tended to have a great deal of confidence in the ideas which inspired urban interest in him. The solution of this pro- blem is one which depends on (a) The farmer having a great deal more respect for his own calling and lb) The urban man developing more respect for the dignity of agriculture and (C) A mut al belief in the benefits of understanding each other and working together.

Would it be unreason- able to expect that implement dealers should at this time of the year have at least skele- ton staff on duty during the evenings and not be closed down Saturdays at noon as in some cases? Feed mills which close their door at five o’clock on a Saturday afternoon (and with daylight time conpounding the problem) are not overly con- cerned with providing the max- imum in the way of service.

Even for those who worsmp e law of supply and demand. it is a little difficult to see where this sacred cow has op- erated effectively during the past season. There is little ev1- dence of any real surplus of po- tatoes. Why then should prices have continued at such depress- ed levels throughout most of y e season?
We have recently received a

.uggests Economics Is Cause Of Strife
By RAY DICK ; TORONTO (CPI—Rev. Hugh A. MacMillan, new moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, believes the real prob- lem in strife-torn Southeast Asia is “people and people, not com- munism and democracy." A missionary on Formosa for, most of 38 years and now re- in Toront, Dr. MacMillan was elected t the church’s highest post Wednesday at the opening of the 90th Presbyterian General Assembly. He succeeds
of Lucknow. Ont, said the situ~ ation in Southeast Asia can’t be studied from a Canadian point of view.
"In Canada about 95 per cent
of r e peop are nominally Christian. It’s vice versa over there."
