An-angements have been made 9 hold the general meetings of pie County Federations during the inter part of June. Voting deleg- ates from each school district will be expected to attend. The Queens county meeting will be held at 1-Luuter Rilvsr on June list. Print County meeting at Summers?” on June 22nd and Kings County at Cnrdigari on the 23rd.

The main program at those nicctings will be a discussion on and the adoption of the proposed Potato Marketing Scheme. Ar- rangements are being made to have m expert down to the Island at inst time to explain in detail the purpose. operations and successes of similar Boards in other prov-

uzres. .

The poultrymcn may also have a plan to present at that time. Sev- eral other questions have been nigzcsied for the agenda mostly dealing with our marketing and lircstotzk problems.

The meeting also suggested that some consideration should be given by the farmers to transportation prooieimi. A committee was ap- pmriicd for each County to ar- range the details of those Confer- nnccs. Both afternoon end evening sessions will be held.

Education Pealured

We Provincial Directors held their regular meeting later the name evening. A delegation from the Teachers' Federation. Canad- ian Legion. School Board, Wom- ens' institutes and other agencies concerned with educational prob- ioiris. met with the directors for Mini turned out to be a very val- uable discuuiou on general edu- rational problems in the rural dis- n-Lots.

The problem of vocational guid- ance; including what should be finite to assist and advise our young people what road to fol- low ezftcr completing Grade eight, the advantages od regional schools, the possibility oil a night school Dmsmm for the farm young peo- hlc during the winter months, wire the main points considered.

A committee was appointed to to into these matters further and Dfeoent some definite recommend- auona to another ' or mtg kind which will be called later in iiiesumrner. It was the general feeling that more get-togethcrs be- IWM1 such groups be held to ex- t-Mnze opinions and experiences ”lF"d1nl matters of education.

It was felt ' it because the Government did not accept the specific recommendation of the Canadian Federation when estab- lishing the Canadian Wheat Board. to provide for prottbctlon of East- ern farmers and give them prefer- ence in obtaining coarse grains from the Western provinces at sOI50l1Ibl9 rates, was huving a serious effect on our whole econ- omy as well as discouraging the production of food.

the Datrymens' Association. it was decided that some extra help was necessary at the present time. The directors felt that if our Federa- tion program ls to be successful we must: be able to provide as- sistance. information and help within reason to all districts re- quiring same.

It was also explained that the present. secretary planned on ac- cepting his scholarship and course in the old coimtry and would be leaving during the latter part of September. Although the general feeling is that the Federation should, and eventually will have to maintain a. full time fieldman. this is not possible at the present time.

However. I.rran.gement.s were made to obtain the services of Mr. J.l... Dewar from New Perth, a successful farmer, and experienced in the work of our farm organ- izations. on a -parttirne basis for the summer months. It is hoped that Mr. Dewar will be able to take over the duties of secretary in the fal ,

It will now be possible to ac- oommodate many districts who have been asking for help recent- ly. There have been nine or ten rural meetings held this week. The main discussions centered on marketing. The meetings generally represented from three to six school districts and were excep- tionally well attended.

Dairy Problem

In addition to a few letters late- ly, there was considerable discus- slon among the County directors about dissatisfaction with their dream test. No definite proof can be obtained in cases like this but. ac- cording to instances sighted, there is sufficient reason for oompalnts and suspicion. A suggestion was made to check more carefully and provide for the licensing of cream testers. This however, is apparent- ly not. it workable solution.

The matter will be up for dis- cusslon at: the next. directors meet- ing of the Duirymenr Association which will he held shortly. The general feeling was that if farm- ers were dissatisfied and not get- ting their proper test. they should make arrangements to send their cream to factory where there was no incentive to give anything but a correct. return to the member- patrons.

Study Distribution Costa

some time ago the Federation suggested totthe Department of Agriculture a Ottawa that. it ' study he made of the costs of food linen-iiiuuon as related to the econ- ,'omic position of Agriculture. This . suggestion has been accepted. The

survey will be made through the i Economics Division.

over the some period last year. The Domestic consumption of pork is up about )3 per cent over last year which indicates that an increased amount is being consumed at home. It is not expected that the British contract will be filled by July 1st as was expected. It does not seem possible that it will be filled before November. if then. The Federation has fairly reliable assurance that the present floor price on export bacon will remain in effect until the present British contract is filled.

Potato Resolution

At the recent directors meeting there seemed to be a. feeling that there would be a surplus of pota- toes left. on the Island even in view of me large movement at the present time.

Action was taken to try and have provision made for some protec- tion or help to ofifset any losses incurred by our smaller growers. if after the planting season they still have a surplus left which they were unable to market.

However, according to the trade today. there will be (amend for all our potatoes. Current: prices however, are far below the cost of production.

surpluses

At a meeting during the" past week the question was raised as to "what. could be clone with food surpluses" anyway? It was sug- gested that farm prices and pro- duction must come down. It is dif- ficult to answer this question in a few lines but. the shortest snswmr can be given in two words "dis- tribute them".

Who should distribute them. is the big question among organized farmers in every agricultural coun- try today. This will be the main issue at the International Feder- ation meeting in Stockholm. Swo- den which our Deputy Minister. Mr. Show left. to attend this past week. We must remember that over three-fifths of the world; people are undernourished and hungry. The Federation proposes and has offered a. detailed plan to set. up an international marketing agency to do this world-wide job.

Actually there were always sur- pluses and probably always will be. It.ls not possible for instance for some aoomo farmers in Can- ada. toproduce just exactly en- ough butter. cheese or any other commodity to meet the needs in any one season. There will always be either a small surplus or short- age. In most cases this small sur- plus upsets the price level for the whole crop. our Dominion Gov- ernment has made it clear that they are willing to help in future if the producers of those food oom- modities are willing to organize an orderly system of marketing and take the responsibilities of at least doing part of the job them- selves. Those surpluses might. have to be distributed at lower prices to needy families eibher in can- ada. or in other countries but, we do not feel that farm people alone should have to sacrifice the re- turns of their complete crop in order to lowoir prices to a limited number of people with small in- comes. This problem is the re- sponsibility of all the taxpayers, not of any one group.

Farmers because they were never organized have had to accept this responsibility before. The main job the lI'armers' Federation has set out to do and is doing. is to care- tully study those problu-ns and offer constructive suggestions and help toward solving them. At. the same time protect: the farmers in- terests and keep the returns to Agriculture in line with returns from other industries.

Poultry Plan

No definite action has been taken to date by the Poultry Com- mittee toward setting up the Board as authorized in the recent plebiscite. A survey is being made of progress in the other provin- con. and of the general outlook for the poultry industry.

A meeting will be called as soon as this information is obtained. Imlnaementa will be made to set. up a poultry organisation and be ready to put our. marketing board plans into eHect: as soon as the other provinces are ready to rial

Questions and News Items

Although from the office we are trying to provide general farm in- formation and answers to all the quaetio that come up in. it would be appreciated if some of the district delegates or any mem- ber would send us questions of general interest or some local Federation news items that could be included in this column.

We appreciate very much the co-operation of the Island press without whose kind assistance this weekly news roundup for tho farmers would not be possible.

If you appreciate the column it is suggested that you express your feelings to the editor.

one recent question. perhaps of general interest was: Do the County or Provincial directors re- ceive any salary or pay for time lost. in attending meetings. etc.? The answer is, definitely he. only their actual travelling expenses
