(in the nlnp Canada is a vast land and so it would seem to most sojourncrs who? "touch the high spots" in a quick tour. It; is also a land of small communities, friend-p l,v neighbours, and happy homes as the. visiting countrywomen have made :1 pointi of discovering. The visitors, too, bring all personal contact with their homelands, so- that many of our people will not again think of their country in terms of cliches but as the home of people whom we know. Our visitors are probably a little tired of hearing that Women's Institutes origi- nated in this country but the reason was that farm wvomen here wished to have for themselves. alld their families many of the things already enjoyed in older and more closely settled lands. It is a high tribute to the effectiveness of the movement that those lands too realized that here was a means of improving the quality of rural living. Today their all too brief visit to this Island Province conlcs to "a close. It is to he hoped that many of the acquaintance- ships and friendships founded as ii result of the visit will be renewed either by the return of our visitors or the opportunity, of their hostesses to repay the visit. :l The Wheat Prolihh The prospect of a bumper wheat crop; this year, on top of the mountainous carry- qver from last year, is causing serious con- cern. According to Mr. J. F. Phelps, presi- dent of the Saskatchewan Farmers Union, there is no need for panic. The bottleneck in the movement of graili is no longer one. of ..transportation alone but a combinationi of markets and transportation; he insisted that the problems were not insurmount-' able. 'Mr. Phelps, says the Hamilton Spec-I later, was speaking of course from the pro-i ducer's point of view. The viewpoint of thei Canadian from outside the'grain belt isi bound to be different. To him the prospect of a further glut of wheat does 'not cause panic, but it may cause a sense of guilt, or at least a feeling that there must sure-l ly be It way of moving this country's over-- ahullclancc of food to parts of the earth where there is shortage. J Because bread is the staff of life. a glutl or wheat tends to be more dramatic than other surpluses; somehow it over-shadows the &360,0()0,000-odd of food which the fed- eral government has had to stow away in warchouscs the 5,000,000 pounds of rliccse, the l0,0t)0,()t)t) pounds of dried milk. the 4(l,l)0O,()0() or so pounds of butter, the 58,000,000 pounds of canned pork. In. reality. the wheat. surplus is more easily explained than the others. Europe no long- er suffers from the desperate shortage which existed at the end of the war, and the world wheat picture is returning to nor- mal-so much so that Britain, gambling on plentiful supplies and a falling market, at the beginning of this month refused to con- tinue with the International Wheat Agree- ment which set maximum and minimum prices and in which she was the principal consuming nation. -Normalcy in the wheat market, how- ever, as in all food markets, has always in- volved ability to pay as well as need. The countries which have not been able to af- ford the food-producing nations' prices have mftibbught the grain or the dairy products ox-the meaphowever desperate their need. 1rar.a'large part of the world--especially the Aalnn..w'orfd-hunger, too, is "normal". daysi Canadians have had two of the terrible extent to which hunger ltllI' exists, At the week-end the -Ar.-...-la...

Lord Boyd Orr suggests an internation- al council, financed by the rich countries (which means principally the United States and Canada) to share out the world's pro-, duce among the hungry. It is not a new idea. Since the war sincere efforts havci been made through the United Nations, within the Commonwealth in conjunction with the Colombo Plan, and by the United States with its usual generosity, to get food' to the hungry. The problem, however, ISJ one of such size-in terms of the need,i the cost, even the tonnage of shipping re-, been only a palliative, not a solution. .. ....B..,.B?-....

The Act provides for a fund to make loans to rural electrification -assoclatiolls. enabling them to lmeet. capital expenditures involved ,in the construction of rural ;rlectrification transmission lines. Farmers may bring electricity to their homes at an initial cost of ,sl50 or 15 percent of the total -estimated cosh the balance to be tpald over a ten-year period, at an -integgst rate of 3'-.- percent. The revolving fund. which was established with s3.000,000, will be supplemented annually until it preaches A total of 510,000,000 at ;which figure it. is expected annual l'Epf1)(T.8llIs will be sufficient to ltakc care of silly new loans re- uired. A rural electnlicatlon associa- tion, uishlng to finance the con- struction of lines under the pro- visions of the Rural Electrllicaiiorl Revolving Fund Act, may borrow up to 85 per cent of the total cost. of the project. from the Alberta Government. Loans will be made directly to the association. and each association will be responsible for appoi-tloninzz its indcotedncss among its members. Previously under the Co-opel-ab lve Marketing Association Guaran- tee Act. the policy was laid down whereby rural electrification asso- ciations were required to raise half the cash necessary to build their lines. The other half, borrowed from a chartered bank or Treas- ury Branch under the Co-operat- ive Marketing Association: Guar- antee Act, was repaid over a per- iod of ten years, at. first at. an in- terest. rate of four percent; and -later, at 3'.-'; percent per annum. The first. rural eleckrlficablon association was the Sprlngbank Association, west of Calgary. in- corporated April 30, 1947. That year, seven co-operative rural electrification associations were in- corporated, and today: the original seven serve approximately 600 farms. l l Since the inccrporiitioll of the ytil-st rural elcctrinciition associa- tion. nvcr 14,000 farms throughout Alberta have been clectrined un- der this plan. At. March 31. 1953. there were 19,600 electrified farms iii the Province. There are 2'17 associations presently active in Alberta. At the year's end, over sl3,000,000 worth of transmission lines had been built. and 170 asso- ciations had borrowed under the plan. At the present time, there are 81,000,000 outstanding on these guaranteed loans. Under the new Revolving Loan Fund. both new associations for rural electrification and extensions to existing electrification area: can be financed through the Pro- vincial Treasury. In forming ii new rural electrification associa- tion, o. group of at. least. ten farm- ers, working with the power com- pany serving that particular area, submits to the Alberta Power Oomminlon, I. imp showing the proposed route of the line and the area to he served by the con- abructlon. together with ii memo- randum of outlining the total enl- mnted coat. of the project. the numbe of farmers in the area who will accept. the service. and those who are unwilling to accept service. 0 I C If the plan is deemed feulble by the Power Commission. the supervisor of Go-operative Activi- lies then make: application to the Provincial Treuury for the neces- sary loan, and takes lion notes from the member: of. the uncla- "----i who desire financing.

HARDSIHPS AT SEA "Ill a letter received by Mr. John LeBrocq, of Georgetown, from Capt. Hector Murchison, of the brlgt. G. W. Wakeford, dated at Balti- more on the 6th inst.. a brief outline is given of ii perilous ad- venture, incident to seafaring life. While his vtcsel was lying at Morant Keyes, West Indies, the captain and two men started ashore in I! small boat. and before reach- ing the shore they were suddenly oought in a squall, and thick wea- ther, which drove them out to sea a long distance. Unable to see land or the vessel, they were three days and nights in this perilous liitliout food or water. which terribly exhausted all hands. "At. length, by cutting up their clothes and making a sail for the boat, they reached Jamaica. where they engaged a schooner to bring them back lo the vessel. The clip- lain states that he was badly burnt by the scorching heat of the sun. owing to the want of clothing, and could not stand upon his legs for four days afterwards. His friends will be glad to learn that he is fully restored from the effects of the great h:lrds-hip he endured on this occasion. The G. W. Wake- ford is now loading at Baltimore for Ireland." -Klngts County Advertiser. Sept. 19, 1879. I1": And I'hlllp iinld. If thou believ- ost; with all thine helirt, thou may- est.

It is expected that many of the asosclations will make use of the collecting facilities provided by the Treasury Branches and chartered hanks. Provision has also been made fol persons who wish to pay the bal- ance of the loan in advance. In- terest is charged only to the date on which the loan is repaid. and the lien is discharged by the Sup- ervisor without fee. Under this systei-n of rural elect- rification, the power rates are lower than they would be if the lines were paid for out of the rates. Depending on prevailing conditions, farmers in Alberta pay from two to three cents per kilo- watt. hour.
