Family Farms In Alberta Said Headed For Oblivion
Alberta's family farms, a core of the province's 750 million dollar yearly agriculture, are said to be headed for oblivion says Provincial Treasurer E. W. Hinman. He argues mechanization and new business methods are needed with government help in conservation and research. He criticizes subsidies as bribes and rejects price controls, urging farmers to adapt and avoid imposed lower prices. He also urges shifts in schooling to improve value for money and cautions teachers should stay in classrooms. Premier Manning notes a nine million dollar Attorney General budget and faces municipal police cost tensions in the province.
