APEC-D
By J. LINCOLN DEWAR
APEC AND AGRICULTURE While APEC has generally. been considered as idenified; more strongly with the business’ community it, has always at- tempted to focus attention on all he primary industries including agriculture. This year’s annual conference just concluded in Halifax devot- ed a great deal of attention to agricultural matters. Twe panels brought to bear the view of a number of recognized auth-- orities on agricultural. matters. On Monday afternoon the dis- cussion, ‘‘Agriculture Where is” it Going” took a searching look at what the Maritimes and the farmers can expect in the fu- ture. Speaking on this panel were Dave Kirk of the CFA, Dr. Anderson of the Agricultural Economics .Research Council and Dr. Dawson of the Econo- mic Council of Canada, last but not least R. K. Fletcher a staff member of APEC who has won ‘considerable acclaim for his Study, ‘Agriculture and the At- lantie Economy”’.
On Tuesday morning an equal- ly distinguished panel discuss-

The Conference, in addition, to the above discussions brought together a large cross section of people with agricultural interest and connection, Departments of

One-of- the-important conces- sions originally negotiated by the Potato Marketing Board was an agreed charge contract for the movement of potatoes. This has been in effect for quite .a number Of years and has u n- doubtedly been a value to the industry. Recently it has_been announced by the railways that an increase ‘of 10 percent is to take place on all agreed char- ges. What happens is that the railway gives ninety days notice of intention in this connection which would likely mean that the effective date would be Ja- nuary 1, 1967.. While this is a very complicated field our un- derstanding is that the standard rate may now in some cases be lower than the agreed charge rate but that certain other char- and concessions will. still

’ The experts agree and many farmers} are realizing the -diffi- culty of' keeping a farm operat- ing under modern
ume. of-production, capital..and mechanization. Many farmers who are attempting to measure up to the new challenge are in- vesting very heavily and as al- ways the case there is never an hundred percent quarantee of success. It is almost logical to pose the question, ‘“‘Where do farmers turn ‘if this expansion does not pay off?!?- While this; may initially be a problem for the individual farmers it-is also certainly a problem for the en- tire’ industry, for the economy and for the consumer. This question is certainly worth thinking about if bigger family farms with much heavier in- vestment will not do the” job, then what will?

Opinion Reversal Is Sharp, Final
THE ACCUSERS overreached themselves as they became drunk with success. Suddenly the populace got wise. The reign of terror, as it was aptly called, had lasted for more than six months, the jails were full; hundreds had been com- mitted and were awaiting trial.
After the sudden change it was said ‘‘There is no instance in history of so sudden; so rapid, and so complete a revul- sion of feeling’. The special court that had been set up to try the cases was abolished. ‘“‘The storm had spent itself.”
