Alberta farm unions move toward single APA entity
The Alberta Federation of Agriculture approved a provisional constitution to merge United Farmers of Alberta and Alberta Farmers' Union, after summer talks. Merger now hinges on the annual conventions of the AFA and AFA early next year. A second measure urged the federal government to protect the U.S. market for Canadian beef by diverting cattle to the United States and pursuing a favorable trade agreement, due to the British beef contract limiting exports.

Seek Basis Veto Use May Break Irrigation Extension
Alberta plans to offer co operation to Ottawa on an irrigation expansion with Agriculture Minister Gar diner in Edmonton around January 15. Provincial Agriculture Minister MacMillan said the offer follows a lengthy East Central Irrigation District meeting amid heavy snow disruption. A Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration report on the Red Deer River diversion proposes a 186 foot high earthen dam just above Content bridge west of Stettler to irrigate about 500 000 acres, with construction to begin after a March 31 federal submission and costing estimates to come. The Berry Creek plan near Sunnybrook would add about 17 000 acres and could operate independently, while power considerations focus on pumping irrigation water rather than full hydro stations.
