FARMING
ON
ISLANDS
Editor,
Daily
News:
Why
Isn't
there
an
experimental
farm
on
the
Northern
British
Columbia
coast?
It
seems
to
me
that
these
farms
are
not
established
until
a
section
is
developed
and
beyond
their
need
at
least
their
need
is
not
so
great
as
are
the
needs
of
those
sections
as
yet
only
pioneered.
This
north
coast
is
not
a
wooded
mountain
range
exclusively
nor
yet
a
barren
rocky
range.
There
are
areas
on
all
the
islands
that
may
be
developed
into
agricultural
production.

We've
missed
out
twice,
and
may
miss
out
again,
but
at
least
the
third
"time
we
oughtn't
to
be
caught
flat-footed.
One
of
the
troubles
with
us
is
that
we
don't
want
to
waste
a
Jot
of
money
in
preparing
for
an
eventuality
that
may
never
arise.
The
trouble
is
that
in
trying
to
wait
it
dut
we
are
at
a
sharp
disadvantage.
Joe
Stalin
doesn't
have
to
ask
the
County
Council,
or
the
people
or
the
parliament
what
'he
shall
do.
He
tells
them.
That
way
is
a
lot
quicker
than
ours.
As
Secretary
Marshall
of
the
United
States
said
recently,
"Experience
has
proved
that
the
democracies,
once
aroused
to
concerted
action,
possess
the
material
and
spiritual
strength
to
overcame
this
advantage.
But,"
he
warned,
"
a
late
awakening
to
danger,
and
failure
to
act
promptly
adds
immeasurably
to
the
cost
of
ultimate
success."
We
guessed
wrong
that
the
Kaiser's
Germany
didn't
really
want
war.
We
guessed
that
Hitler
wouldn't
push
matters
too
far,
and
were
wrong
.again.
Guessing
about
Stalin
