Assistance For Cattle Industry |" "==

Ed. Note — At last Thursday’s annual sale banquet,
E. D. Fulton, M.P., outlined his reaction to the current beet
situation in the Cariboo, and what steps he has recommended
the Federal Department of Agriculture should take to allevi-
ate it. The following is a resume of his address:

The cattle industry of the Interior
of B.C. has never been faced with a
more serious prospect of shortage of
feed to carry their herds through the
winter, In some areas — especially
those on wild mé fo!

Swank, widow of the and
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Den-
ny, sr. Wives of personnel of the
airport were also present.

The officiant was Chaplain Elijah
H. Hankerson, assisted by Rev. Geo.
J. Fielder of Williams Lake.

The service consisted of music,
Scripture readings and service state-
ment. Sgt. Henry Grant sang two
solos, “Lead Kindly Light” and “Be
Still My Soul,” witch was specially
dedicated to the memory of Airman
Swank, At the close of the service a
standing silent tribute was paid by
the squadron, and after the Chaplain
pronounced the benediction, the
squadron bugler sounded “‘taps.”

their hay — the constant rains of the
summer and early fall, followed by
severe frosts while much of the low
ground is still under water, have had
the result that not one blade of grass
could be cut for hay.

Such a sitation could spell disaster
for- many ranchers. Obviously the
most desirable thing is to find altern-
ative sources of feed by importing
grains, or hay from other areas. It
is most strongly to be urged that
everyone who can possibly do so
should try to bring his cattle through
by some such method, rather than
put his herd on the market because
of lack of feed.

And yet, however desirable it may
be to avoid having to sell, it is ob-
vious that there will be many ranch-
ers who cannot, for either physical
or financial reasons, freight in suf-
ficient feed to provide a winter's live-
lihood for their herd in the total ab-
sence of a hay supply of their own.
We must therefore face the fact that
there may have to be a large number
of cattle brought to market in what
amounts to forced sales. Such sales
would involve heavy losses to those
placed in that unhappy position.
GOVERNMENT SHOULD HELP

It is my opinion that in such cir-
cumstances it is up to governments
to render whatever assistance they
can, first to help avoid a disaster,
and second to minimize the effects of
whatever emergency action must be
taken.

I have accordingly written to the
‘Minister of Agriculture at Ottawa
placing the situation before him and
asking him to consider making avail-
able special assistance and special
‘arrangements for importing feed
grains under the Feed Grains Assist-
tnce Act. I have suggested for in-

‘stance that arrangements might be

made under these special cireum-
stances for direct buying trom prairie
farms, thus passing on to our ranch-
ers a reduction in price by eliminat-
ing intermediate agencies, so that
B.C. ranchers can land the feed at
prices which they may be able to meet.
TAX ASSISTANCE

And secondly, I have asked the
Minister of Finance to make pro-
vision under the tax laws to avoid
aggravating an already grave hard-
ship. Right now forced sales of breed-
ing stock would not only resuit in a
lower price for all animals but the
present tax laws would result in
liability for income tax on a large
part of the proceeds of thé sales even
of breeding animals. Not only there-
fore would you take a loss on your
sales, but you would be deprived of
a portion even of what you had real-
ized, and thus be that much less able
to replace those animals next year.

I have accordingly requested the

| Minister of Finance to make arrange-

ments to allow a rancher who is fore-
ed to sell down for lack of feed under
this emergency, to exempt from tax
that portion of the proceeds which
represents breeding or basic stock
and which it is intended to use to
purchase replacement stock in the
next year. This seems to me to he
only simple justice, and necessary to
avoid driving out of business alto-
gether many hard-working and de-
cent citizens who are already going
to be hard enough hit by the results
