Canadian Farmery Stand at Cross Roads
Can Go Forward or Beat Retreat
“Cariadian agriculture is stand
ing at the crossroads,” said Dr. G.
S. H, Barton, Deputy Minister
Dominion Department of Agricul
ture, in a recent address,
“Depending ,on the choice made
now, Canadian agriculture may
gradually relinquish the export

of major products and.
back to the more limited
home consumption and re
export. Oi’ it may choose

markets of the world.”
“By all their former standards,
Canadian farmers are today - well
off. Farm income is higher than
it has ever been, thanks to the un
paralleled output of wartime agri-*
cultural production to meet the
needs of an export market,
“It is due to the fact that they
have been producing for that ex
port market, that Canadian farm
ers have been able to improve the
living standards of their homes.
Whether this improved standard
can be maintained depends on the
ability of Canadian farmers to
continue production for export.
“If farmers do not continue to
plan production ’for export, to give
the overseas buyer what he wants,
then the farm standard of living
cannot help but decline!
■“In 1944, a record yeai’ of pro
duction and record returns, the ex
port market in terms of farm val
ues represented over one-third.
From their sources of millions of
acres of field crops' and pasture,
Canadian farmers can feed 30 per
cent more people than there are
in the Dominion. Indeed, if the
Canadian farmer does not produce
form 30 to 40 per cent more food
than Canada needs, his income
suffers.
Need for Export
“The only practical solution to
disposing of 3'0 to 4\0 per cent more
food than Canada can consume is
to export it. The alternative would
be to. shrink agricultural produc
tion.
“If,

must be of the kind the export mar
ket needs.
“The fact is we are long

in danger of being even longer
wheat" and even shorter on meat
than we were at the time of the
conference.
“Yet what is happening in Can
ada at the present time? Hog
marketings are down. By the end
of March, they will be about 32
per cent lower than in the first
quarter in 1'944. While these mark
etings are not expected to continue
at such- low levels, their decline
may not be greatly arrested until
toward the end of the year. Canada
has agreed to supply a minimum of
450,000,(0100 pounds of bacon and
pork for each year, 11145 and' 1946.

But Britain needs all that we can

of quantity, and of price, and in
face of Britain’s urgent need, how

Regular Supplies Important
“Canada has today almost a mo
nopoly of the British bacon market
That will not always be so, but we
are in a position to produce a mar
ket when the war is over, The
share of that market which Canada
should continue to have cannot be
retained except on a basis of regu
lar supplies. If producers will not
provide these supplies the structure
which has taken a lifetime to build
will be wrecked.
“The West has made the biggest
contribution to Canada’s wartime
expansion of hog production. But
if the' W'est continues to reduce
hog production the future of Cana
dian agriculture will be all the
more critical not only fox* the West
itself, but for farmers
in the Dominion.
“There is land in
Provinces where wheat

areas where every good farmer
should include hog production in
his farming operations. From the
standpoint of Canadian farmers as
a whole, or even of Western farm
ers as a whole, the choice is not
one of wheat or hogs. We must pro
duce as much as we can sell of
both.

For at least two of those years,
Britain is prepared to take all the

“Another food which Canada
produces for export is in equally
strong demand—dairy products. An
outlet for these, too, is assured. As
long as Canada can export 1'00 mil
lion pounds of cheese a year—and
we are now exporting more than
that—there should be no concern
over glutting a market which has
never enjoyed the dairy products it
should.
“Coarse grain production is the
corner-stone of animal and dairy
products production. By increasing
the acreage in hoarse grains, we
can hope to breed more sows to
produce more pigs; to feed and
milk cows in the numbers we shall
have' them, to finish cattle and
lambs now on the way, and; to
maintain our poultry industry.

ere Is the Outlook
for Sugar Beet Labor
Hon. Humphrey Mitchell, Dominion Minister of Labor* says
‘‘Instructions were sent to all Selective Service Offices
across Canada that farm workers on temporary permits
in other essential industries during the winter months
MUST return to agriculture....
House of Commons Debates, Page 353, March 29,1945
Hon. Humphrey Mitchell, Dominion Minister of Labor, also says
“Local Selective Service Officers have been given auth
ority to direct any male worker from 16 to 65 years of
age into specified agricultural employment. Steps will
be taken to move farm workers front less to more pro
ductive farms.”
House of Commons Debates, Page 353, March 29, 1945
Hon, Humphrey Mitchell, Dominion Minister of Labor, further says: >
“I would make this prediction: before this year ends the
FOOD situation in the world will be more desperate
than munitions ever were.”
House of Commons Debates, Page 334, March 28, 1945
There are SEVERAL HUNDRED EXPERIENCED BEET-WORKERS en
gaged in industry who will be affected by the statements of policy made in
the House of Commons last month.
Prior to this year, war factories had the preference for workers. This year, with victory in
sight and a hungry world to be fed, the preference is to agricultural production. The full text
of Mr. Mitchell’s statements indicate that the Government at Ottawa, as well as the Provin
cial Governments, are fully alive to the necessity for providing farm labor. It is what Mr.
Mitchell calls the “mobilization of manpower for agriculture ” (Page 334)
Preliminary Surveys among War-workers Show that
Many Experienced Beet-Workers are Eager to Return &
to the Land When Released from Industry*
FOR EMERGENCY NEEDS
There is assurance from Dominion and Provincial authorities that the prisoners of war wifi be
available for work in the beet fields when the crop is ready. They will be placed in three or
four handy camps.
