Tenant Smallholder Plays Big Role in United
Britain remains a land of small farms with 330000 holdings over a acre, 255000 under 100 acres. Smallholders often own or lease land, live on modern three bedroom houses near roads, and rely on full tenancy. Entry loans cover up to 75 percent, with rents around £5-£7 per acre. Typical farms emphasize milk on grassy land or arable crops, yielding up to £7000 per 100 acres. Workers earn about £15 weekly, and most smallholders prosper through intensive production, despite long hours and seven day milking cycles.

Ag Societies Get Grants For Racing
The Manitoba Legislature gave first reading to legislation providing $1,000 grants to agricultural societies that hold harness racing meets under specific conditions. The grant refunds the first 10 percent provincial pari mutuel tax on harness races if used for agricultural purposes and if the meet lasts five days or less. A second bill would validate orders allowing Manitoba to enter CPP agreements with the federal government and include provincial employees in the plan, with existing benefits to be integrated with the CPP per Premier Roblin.

Government renames ARDA to Agriculture and Rural Develop ment Act
The Commons approve renaming the Agricultural Rehabilitation Act to the Agriculture and Rural Development Act with ARDA initials kept. Forestry Minister Sauve explains the change expands aid to combine regions where farming is not possible and to avoid taking credit from Conservatives who created ARDA in 1961. H A Olson proposes GERDA a nod to a German figure in a prior Commons incident.
