ORONO WEEKLY -TIMES, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1th, 1963 ORO0NO WEEIKLY TFIMES Estabiished -in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Editor and Manage r Wbat Others flray ANew Type Fai mer TL-e future of Canadian agriculture looms b, gger and better but with fewer farmers, more credit, more education and more businesslike mnethods. This is the conclusion reached in the Imperial Oi, Review, in a special edition dedicated to Canadian agriculture. Farming is no longer a simple way 0f 1f e, but part of scimething called : :agri-ibusiness." it involves flot just sotwing and reaping, but chemistry, physies, genetics, econ- omcs and mnathematteis. Yet Blythe Eagles, vice-principal od the University of British Columbias agricultural schooi, says "the profession of farming 1.5 being downgraded. Con- suimers have neyer in hiistory bad srch a choice of good food at reasonable prices. So' we've become apathetic toward food production. Unless people outside agriculture take steps to improve the farmers' lot we may some day find urevsout of farmers at a time when the worid in- creasingly needs f ood." It is difficuit to justiify that opinion, however. It is easy to quote figures: The average net income per farm across 11 Canada is only $2149. But of our 481,000 farms, nearly t 133,000 are flot even deemed "commercial"- they seil less than $1,200 wortb of produce a year. Another 9,500 sell les than $2500 worth. In the past 20 years, the number of oc- ,cupied farmns ia Canada has been reduced by almost one third, aad the labor force hias dropped f rom more than a million to 65,000. But in the same period capital investment in agriculture has ihcreased f rom $4 bllon to around $12 billon, and prioduction Is greater than ever. It wiuld seeni, then, that the main steps to improve the farmers' lot must be taken within rather than outside o« the ùidustry. Agriculture needs rationalization as much as does secondary industry in Canada. As the Review re- orts, agriculturigts see a goiod future a "new kinid" of £armer 'bec-ause there'fl be a desperate need for farm-raised food. T'wenty years from now, Canadian farms will probably number only about 250,000 but they'll be bgger and will produce about twiceas much per acre as they do today. - Oshawa Times It Ail Costs If we want a more equalitarian society and an in- creasingly expensive welfare state ... we must pay for it. There is no other way and this basl been borne out by hap- penings centering around the increase of $1000 to the old age pension. Last week Pýrime Minister strongly hinted that personal and corporation taxes wil.l no dotubt increase' by 1% ýto pay the ilcrease in old age pensions. The Prime Minister is meeting the problem with honesty and is not offering Canadians free pie in the sky. This, it is hoped, will be a continuing policy, whilch gives Canadians a better chance of assessing the more abundant if e that is continually being offered by the politician. A point of concern at this time could easily be the differences in policies being followed in Canada to that 0f the United States. It appears in Canada that taxes are being increased while those in the United States are being reduced. President Kennedy follows the policy of leaving more moriey with Americans who, lie feels, in turu will use the money in a mqnner to demand an increase in productivity and to invest in industrial developmenit. In" the fact that American Corporations will benefit froim decreased taxes they will have an advantago in their own markets as woll as the markets 0f the world lu which ther countrios comn- pete and this includes Canada. Also the Canadian tax increasos could have an ad- yorso effet on plants wrishing to locate la Canada. This in turn could affect the employment aspect of the country. The question rema'ins to be answered: "Will the more abundant if e cost us that lîfe?"

COUNCILLORS CLASH OVER PAVING POLICY Bowmanville Couneillors ciashed ovor a question of paVing at a roc- ont ToYwn Council meeting.' Councillor Wes Fiee blasted the laying of asphait on private drive- way approachos by the Town Ronds Superintendent. Councillor Roy Nichols, who is i,1so Chairman of the Roads and Streets Comjmittee, defended thse action as "something we (tie town) can do a lot more cheaply and quicly than thse iZdividual rate- payer." 1Councillor Ken Hooper called for pýoli1cy on thse matter and admon- ished Councilior Nichols*for doing an '1about face." Deputy-Reeve Ross Stevens ecis- oed the Hooper plea for poiicy and suggeslted that the matter be re- frrod to the Road and Streets Com- mîtee for recommendiatiofl.
