UNIA&&U PA .GE NINE Agriculture Revolution .1- 25 Years is Forecast f Interesting Survey Somnething in the nature of aravalution may ha in store for Canadian agriculture in the next 25 years. Food naeds in Canada mav ro~ double; farmers' earn- - 'ýDy rise rapidly; perhaps a %ýThe familiar fruit farms *inthrio's Niagara area may dis appear, and Prairie produ- cars may look mare ta beef and hog sales than ta wheat for the rnainstay o! their incames. Sa predict twa university, professors in a special 424-page study an the Progress and Prospects of Canadian Agricul- ture prepared for the Gardon economnic commission and made public ast week. The study. xnost extensive of its kind, wzcs prepared by a team beaded' by Professors W. M. Drummond of the Ontario Agricultural Col- lage and William MacKenzie of the University of Alberta. The profassors suggested that aIl af the dramatic change-- rnay be accamplished with vir- tually no need ta clear new lands for farmi expansion. The trend, they predicted, wauld ha ta greater use oi chamicals, fertilizers and weed and insect killers. In similar vein, they intim- ated there wouhd ha ittle need ta embark an such vast land- enriching prajects as the pro- posad South Saskatchewan Ri- ver irrigation and power pro- jeet. It was daubtfuh that govern- xnents would need ta become involved in substantial land sattiement pragrams or ta in- duce increased production by large-scale public investmnent' in land impravement. On the whole, the future for Canadian farmers appeared an- couraging. In the quarter-cen- tury the repart suggested. farmers generally may ha con- centrating on producing for Canadian cansumers. The Gardon commission, in its preliminary report earlier this year, predicted Canada's population may rise by some 70 par cent in the 25 years. If this takas place, said the two professors, Canadian farm- ers will have ta increasa aut- put and ha hess concerned with expart markats for most agri- cultural praducts." Average incomes of Cana- dians generally are expected ta rise providing mare monay for food expenditures. However, eating habits lika- ly would change, with the aver- age Canadian cansuming marel red meats, poultry meat, eggs,1 fruits, vegetables and ails and, fats and less cereals, potatoas,1 starches and some dairy pro-ý ducts. Consumption o! bottled milk ma ydrop with prospects a! de- veloping a perfect dried-milk substitute. 'Ry 1980, it is expected that fluid milk consumption will have declined by about eight percent, and that milk powder consumption will bave risen by about 30 par cent." The over-all population in- crease would produce bigger markets for virtually ail foods. To get the needed increases farmers would have ta build up1 their livestock herds. AIl this is expected ta ha ac- complished with a decline in farm labour, an increase in the size of the individual farm, a decine in total number of farms and a greater use of! machinery and chemicals. By 1890 the number of farms maY drap ta 540,000 from the current .600.-: 000. Average acreage is esim ated ta increase ta 326 from 279. The professons predict that the farmer of 1980 will have a living standard dloser ta that of city folk, will depand more an store-bought food and supplies and will run a more business- like operation. In Ontario the big concentra- tion would ha an cash crops. Perhaps aIl o! the Niagara fruit hait would ha shiftad ta industrial use; the province*s improved farmland miglht drap by 700,000 acres ta 12,000,000. More beef and soybeans likely would ha produced, along witb forage crops. Grain acreaga likely would drop and cattie- men might be riore dependent an the Prairies for fead grains.i On the Prairies the cancan-1 IVIGOR OIL CO, LTD. i PREMIUM QUALITY 4-'STOVE QIL 2Oc FUEL QIL 17C TOR DELIVERY rhoneOshawa R per gaI. per gaL 5-1109 Hfere's Imw te i Save cletl@i.
