I believe that TV should be allowed to go free in Canada, to the extent of setting up free enterprise TV stations in free competition with the CBC, wherever the CBC now has a former Prime Minister.

"Many other problems outside the scope of the work of the substation limit agricultural production and development," il points out. "Few farms are found with a sufficient area in crop to produce the revenue necessary to sustain the farm and farmer under' present-day conditions. Thus the operator is obliged to seek, revenue from other sources, to the detriment of his farm in most instances. "The lack of adequate water supplies for livestock and domestic use is a handicap on many farms. ' Distance to market and market instability are both prime difficulties. In the latter case, the lack of any organised marketing effort is the source of the trouble. Finally, it is recognized that many of the original settlers came to the district to engage in activities other than farming. They became farmers of necessity. Without an agricultural background they were at a disadvantage and it is probably a tribute to their tenacity that they did so well." Some of the points made here are already receiving attention. . In particular, the lack of any organized effort has come in for a lot of study lately by the Smithers Chamber of Commerce. It seems unfortunate, however, that farmers in the area must suffer because their property is insufficient to produce a profitable crop. Such a condition says little for the encouragement if any being given to those who are pioneering that country. ' It is disturbing also to learn that farming there is a last resort. It is understandable from this why better marketing methods are so slow in gaining acceptance. Lacking agricultural experience, many of the farmers are probably too burdened with their immediate problems to think about expanding their markets." This appears to be another, case where more official interest in the Bulkley Valley development would help. ' Lack of adequate wrater supplies might also be corrected if the farmers were given more assistance. It is time that both the B.C. and federal governments were made aware that the Bulkley Valley-soon will be galled on to feed a major industrial area. "-'A certain amount of encouragement and scientific instruction for those now -opening up the land would eliminate many of the trials and errors now being encountered.

Still another program is tun modification to Canadian design of Britain's Bristol Britannia, to be produced at Canadair Ltd., Montreal, as a reconnaissance plane for the RCAF.
