r Among The Farmers

(Federation of Agriculture News) me wanna:

e last week-end the weather put on a. demonstration that will pro- vlde a topic for conversation for yggrd IO WW5-

This Province is rarely the vic- ,1..." of serious natural disturban- ce, but the recent hurricane was

its likely the most destructive phenomenon for many years. puma-. were probably the great- ug losers in total..l-fundreds of wrecked barns bear testimony to this statement. While many of mere barns were old and perhaps my in good repair yet they served mini purposes and their replace- ment could be quite expensive.

our farmers can count them- selves lucky that they are produc- H, or potatoes rather than apples.

The sympathy of 'all should go to the farmers of the Annapolis valley, who, with ,rospecfs of a good crop and better markets saw most of the year's work and in- come destroyed in the space of a few hours.

Added to this loss. is of course, the very substantial one of wreck-

homes. COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

in any newly settled country the first. concern of the farmer is to produce sufficient food, clothing and fuel for his family. As the acreage of cleared land increases. the farmer acquires a" surplus of these products which can be offer- ed for sale. In this stage. trans- actions are likely to take place diJ rectly between the farmer and the buyer and there is free play to bargain.

As the surplus product increases. the farmer must seek markets at greater distances and then finds nimself fferlng his product to larger and larger handling agencies which act as intermediaries be- tween the consumer and the pro- ducer. An illustration of this dif- le.-rnce would be in the case of a lariner selling a quarter of meat to In urban housewife on the one land, and on the other offering a aeef animal for sale to a large iompany which may have its head ifflce a thousand miles away.

in selling the quarter of meat di- rm. to the consumer, the farmer "s able to exercise his natural ab- ility as a bsrgainer, but in selling the beef animal he has no op- portunity of bargaining as an in- dzvidual with the shareholders or directors of a packing plant. In many parts of the world farmers have realized their loss of bar- gaining power when dealing as in- dividuals with large corporations and in this realization have pro- reeded logically to set up market- iiig facilities which can offer e sufficiently large volume of the product in question to establish bargaining power.

it is very generally realized and admitted that the individual work- man in a factory employing one thousand people is in no position to bargain effectively on the ques- tion of wages. However. when the thousand employees act as a group and delegate to one or more of their members, the authority to bargain for them, then the results become apparent. Far-seeing farm- are who realize the advantages of rollectlve bargaining have been lnst.r-iimental in obtaining market- ing legislation. in setting up mar- keting boards and in establishing an-operatives in order to obtan the iidvantnges of collective buying and selling. .

Most farmers realize that the buying and selling of many of their products are canted on by highly organized and complex agencies miffed by well paid specialists in H1059 particular fields. It would

appear entirely reasonable that if the farmer is to bargain success- fully with these organisations that he must in turn. provide himseli with an equally efficient bargain- ing unit in order to successfully obtain the maximum value of his products. i

PRESCOTT

Travellers on Route 2 between Montreal and Toronto could herd- ly fell to be impressed with the enormous grain elevator located at Prescott in Ontario. This eleva- tor covers many acres and is a mountain of concrete towering in- to the skies. Originally constructed with a view to providing storage for western grains to be Used in Eastern Canada and for export it had never been used to any great extent.

Recently, following certain re- ductions in water freight rates. on the Great Lakes, the elevator at Prescott has become valuable to Eastern Canada. This is illustrated in the following way:

In shipping grain from Fort Wil- liam to Charlottetown entirely by rail the rate is 310 per ton on bar- ley. When shipped by water from Fort William to Montreal and en by rail. the rate is :1B.7l, but in shipping by water from Fort William to Prescott and from there by rail the rate is 316.43.

A comparison of these figures would readily indicate the signifi- cance of the Prescott elevator to the Maritime provinces which have for many years used substan- tial quantities of western grain.

BUTTER PRODUCTION

All indications point to 1954 as the biggest year on record for milk production in this province. As proof of this statement we need only point to the fact that for the week ending September 4 butter production amounted to over 185,- 000 lbs.. an increase of 469:: over last year's figure for the same per- fod, of 127,000.

This increase represents for a week an additional so in the poc- ket of each milk producer on the average and this is an amount with which many farmers are able to do wonders.

DAIRY SUBSIDIES:

The National Dairy Council in its annual meeting at Ottawa evidently produced a divided re- action on the question of export subsidies and price supports. The description of support on butter 38 "C"-T131118 Socialism" will not likely cause much concern on the part of the man who milks cows and who realises that the alter- native would be "galloping ruins- tion.” Certainly countries with dairy products to export are find- ing considerable difficulty locat- ing markets. This is a problem on which the members of the National Dairy Council can speak with authority and their recommenda- tions carry considerable weight.

The suggestion that means must be devised to bring the price on butter and margarine closer to- gether probably is the crux of that question. But whether it is possible for butter producers to move down- ward and stay in business is yet another. Margarine would likely increase in price only through the application of import restrictions and sales tax. neither of which are likely to prove popular with the consumer presently fighting a pitched battle with the household food budget.

Somewhere along the line he had been spoiled and patted too much by me. He would grow up a tyrant unlese.. then I turned. I realized my son had become (through my lndulg. ence) a bossy, quarrelsome mon- ster. I took the belt from my hus- band's trousers and showed it to my son, told him what to expect.

3,000,000 of Spain's 25,000,000 peo- ple have no homes except caves. The daily average wage of males is 371x-'r cents.

Divorces used in be one out of six marriages. now they are one out of four and juvenile delinquency has skyrocketed with a quarter of a million children called into court every year in Canada and the Uni- ted States. That's a sad com- mentary on parents and proves the old adage as true today as it was in Biblical times. "Spare the rod and spoil the child."
