Farm Policy
For Canada

“Farm products in Canada can
finance the Dominion’s war effort
if only we will establish a nation-
al agricultural policy and cut out
the purchase of imported non-es-
sentials,” Charles A. Hayden of
Vernon, editor of “Country Life”
and secretary of the B.C, Chamber
of Agriculture, told the annual
meeting of the B.C, Field Crops
Union at Chilliwack Wednesday.

The war, Mr. Hayden declared,
is costing Canada $400 million the
first year and would probablycost
$500 million the second year. How
were we going to meet’ those
costs? First, by establishing a na-
tional policy for agriculture, and
second, by ceasing importation of
tials, and substituting for

PLANTA EXPLAINS
SEED BOARD; DEAN
FAVORS CONTROL

Dean F. M. Clement of the U.
B.C. in the course of an address
at the annual dinner of the B.C.
Crops Union given at Chilliwack
by the Provincial Government, ex-
pressed the views that the time
had come when the farmers should
consider the advisability of regul-
ating control) of production to
some extent, as an essential fac-
tor in the operation of regulated
marketing.

Clive Planta of the Agricultural
Marketing Bureau, speaking on
seed production in B.C., explained
that the B.C. Seed Growers’ As-
sociation had taken the initiative
to set up a seed marketing con-
trol board under the Natural Pro-
ducts Marketing Act.

An agency under the new board
would be designated soon, through
which all sales of seed would be
made in the province at prices

PIONEER MILKER

O, Hougen, Harris road, Mats-

back in service. The machine
dates back to 1918 and with a 2-

Eighty-five per cent. of regis-

favor of continuing control of po-

Vegetable Marketing Board reveals,

A vote was taken, 388 replying
in favor and 78 against.

The farmer is now making a
reasonable profit, the board states,
and the consumer is getting bet-
ter potatoes. Effotrs are being

ARINC

CONCENTRATED
DAIRYING.. 15
COWS, 3 ACRES

“Three acres and a cow” used
to be the socialistic slogan which
proclaimed thiy as the property
right and means of sustenance
for every family. Three acres
and 75 cows sounds even more
fantastic, yet it represents the
equipment of many a dairyman
in Southern California, says B.
L. Emslie, chemist-agronomist,

On the outskirts of Los Ange-
Jes may be seen “streets” of
dairy farms, the cows in corrals,
on one side of which is a rowof
mangers and nearby the feed in
bales of hay piled high. The hay,
consisting individually of barley,
oats and alfalfa, is purchased by
the’ dairyman from the farmer
who grows it.

NATSUME SRM

MEETS SUCCESS
WITH CABINET
INCUBATOR

O. N. Spiers, Clayburn road,
Matsqui, reports outstanding suc-
cess with the small cabinet incu-
bator and the forced air electric
brooder he installed this spring.
The incubator produced gratifying
results both in the number and
quality of chicks hatched. Losses
in the machine apart from infer-
tile eggs were exceedingly low,

Mr. Spiers built a new brooder
house along the lines featured in
the March issue of “Farm Serv-
ice News” and finds it very satis-
factory. The house is well-ventil-
ated without drafts and jis equip-
ped with two sin porches
which will give the chicks their
first introduction to outdoor life.

In the first two weeks of brood-
ing, not a chick was lost with the
exception of a few culls. Modern,
efficient equipment and careful at-
tention to such details as sanita-
tion have taken the grief out of
the incubatine and brooding sea-
son for this Matsqui poultryman.

FRASER VALLEY
MARKET

A half-cent drop in beef prices
provided the only major price
change on the Fraser Valley mar-
ket on Friday. Steer beef was
down to 12%c wholesale for Grade
A and 11%c for Grade B. Veal
was slightly easier, although top
grade cost the butchers between
18c and 14c wholesale. Lamb was
down 1c to 18c wholesale. Fewer
little pigs were offered but the
prices were about 50c easier, The
drop in meats was unaccounted
for, except that packers were re-|
ported to be trying to move their}
stock.

Egg prices continued unchanged
at the low levels of 16c a dozen
to producer for grade A large, 13c
for medium and llc for pullets.
Retail prices averaged 22c a dozen
for grade A large, 20c for med-
jum and 17c for pullets. Produc-
tion is still heavy and stocks are

plentiful.
Vegetable offerings were of good
quality and some items were

slightly dearer. Large celery sold
from at 12c to 20c a head and
large cauliflower at 20c a head.
Jood lettuce was worth 6c. Local
rhubarb was cheap at 8c to 5c a
pound, Potatoes were steady at 10
pounds for 19c for No, 1.

Raise Fund
To Promote

Milk Sales

Power to levy on the producers
a fund for advertising, which has
proved one of the difficulties in
the operation of Natural Products
Marketing Act in B.C., has been
solved in Washington, declared Dr.
Prior, vice-president of the Nation-
al Dairy Association of the United
States, at the annual convention
of the B.C. Field Crops Union at
Chilliwack.

In Washington, legislation had
been passed authorizing a levy of
one-fifth of a cent per pound but-
terfat, to be collected by the milk
distributors and creameries on tak-
ing receipt of the milk from the
farmers, At present only one-tenth
of a cent was being collected, or
one dollar per thosuand pounds of
butterfat.

OTHER STATES FOLLOW

By the end of the summer it
was expected that seventeen other
states in the union would have
similar legislation and there were
prospects of every state eventual-
ly adopting the principle.

Dr. Prior said that if this were
done and the levy all collected, a
total of nearly $4,000,000 would be
available for advertising milk, and
milk products, and ‘for the pyo-
motion of other uses for milk.
The fund was operated by a com-
mission of producers.
