migration Creates Vast New
There is sincere concern on the part
some Canadians as to the number
of, immigrants that are coming to
Canada. It is suggested the pres-
awe of so many newcomers place
present citizens at a. disadvantage.
The reverse, of course, is the truth.
Not only do the New Canadians con-
tribute their skills, their labor and
their energies, they constitute a mar-
ket for all the products which Cana-
dian farmers and manufacturers
produce. The extent to which the
domestic market for farm products
has increased in recent years is di-
rectly attributable to an increased
Canadian population.
Placing the matter in proper pro-
spective, the Peterborough Examin-
-er concludes that immigration on the
present scale should not alarm any
,Canadian who knows something of
the history of his country and has
any vision of its economic future.
The Examiner goes on to say, "Quite
apart .from the good it will do the
conscience of Canadians, this mas-
sive immigration will foster the cul-
ture of the country and promote its
industrial, agricultural, commercial
and technical development.
"Canada would be a pretty poor
and humble nation if everybody liv-
ing here now who was not born in
the country had never emigrated to
it. Suppose they had all suddenly to
go .back to the lands of their origins,
taking their children and grandchil-
dren with them? According to the
1951 census, 2,059,911 of Canada's
population at that time was born
outside the country. That is more
than a seventh of the total popula-
tion. Take them away, with all their
families, their money, their brains
And their skills, and what sort of
Canada would be left? Even in an
old, stable Southern Ontario city like
Peterborough 14 per cent of the pop-
ulation was foreign -born in 1951.
"lif 1913, when Canada had a total
population of less than seven and a
half million people and a gross na-
tional product of perhaps two bil-
lion dollars, it successfully accom-
modated, in that one year alone, 400,-
Market
870 immigrants. Should it be queasy
now, even for the most selfish rear -
sons, about admitting in 1957 mere-
ly 170,000, when the total population
is about sixteen millions and the
gross national product may be $305
billions.
Hens Under *Pressure
In this community where the pro-
duct of the hen plays such a large
part in the general economy, there
will be interest in a development that
is said to have the result of pressur-
ing the hen into laying more eggs.
It has to do with the extension of
air conditioning to poultry farms.
Tests conducted by a public utility
and a company making evaporative
cooling equipment show that cooler
hens lay more and better eggs. Dur-
ing two months, 950 hens in cooled
chicken houses laid 29,000 eggs while
950 in uncooled houses laid 17,000. It
is claimed that cooling reduces lay-
ing of thin -shelled, tracked and wa-
tery -white. eggs by as much as 20
per cent. Also shortens time needed
for bringing broilers to market con-
dition.
You Made a Mistake
(Toronto Daily Star)
There is an old story about the
lady who complained about the
language used by two, linemen out-
side her window. Called on the car-
pet, one explained: ."Alf was up the
pole and dropped some of the hot
solder down my neck. I said: 'Really,
Alf, you must be more careful'."
•Now somebody who wants to take
some of the color out of baseball
comes up with the idea of setting
microphones in the -ground at home
plate and each base so fans can hear
as well as see the game. Now, when
a player turns to expostulate with
the umpire about being called out,
his vehemence and language can be
read from his face. If there are
microphones close by, he will prob-
ably be heard to say: "Really, um-
pire, I do think you made a mistake."

Editor, The Huron ExpOSitQr;
Dear Sir: I. want to send aidng
an expression of one farmer's
hearty aPPrOal of the following
twin points in your news reports
of Federation of Agriculture an-
nual meetings in the current gx-
positor; this from the McKillop
Township group; ."Necpssity of:
farmers §peakiag with, one voice
was stressed by Gordon Greig";
and this: "Secretary-fieldman Carl
Hemingway stressed' the fact that
competition of other produets bad
to be met by 'advertising our pro-
ducts'."
For a long time I have felt that
the proverbial "age-old silence of
the farmers" has been a costly
proposition, which, despite the
flight of 30,000 oikour rural poptda-
don, annually, over the past de-
cade, meshing with the upsurging
of Canada's population, has sent
the NET income of the farmers
trailing badly in the Canadian
gainfully -employed class. Fortun-
ately, there are s'igns of a change
in the approach of these poorly -
paid Canadians to their marketing
problems, and the above reports,
therefore, are all the more encour-
aging.
Only last week, in the course of
a press 'interview with Agricul-
ture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson
(at Washington), I was struck by
this authoritative accent on what
has come to be recognized as a
basic weakness in the technique of
the average farmer in the market-
place: "It is of course proverbial
that the farmer sella wholesale
'and buys retail." I think those
few words are right on the target
of the farm problem.
