Castlegar and district Fes a great variety of
fruits and vegetables, particularly the “areas north of.
‘of the Columbia. The largest part .of this produce is’
always some kind of surplus, or some crop not suf-
ficiently large to be marketed wholesale, or else the
opportunity is lacking-.at the right moment. These

“bits dnd pieces’ are marketed in an. improvised, hap-

hazard way by word of mouth or door-to-door sales,

among the non-farming. population. |

And yet there is a, ready-made, modern method -

of marketing such produce: the roadside stand, Never
before has the small, gaily painted counter “by the
highway enjoyed such spectacular. popularity. as this

summer. One has only to drive through the Okanagan .

to see the truth of this borne out.. And a refreshment
stand which opened not long ago.on Highway No. 3
is doing a very brisk business indeed.

But not a single stand offering fruits and vege-

tables has been seen in the district ‘this summer, and -

we can only puzzle and shake. our heads at these
lost opportunities.

FARMS NEED LABOR ‘

In recent years the farm labor situation in Can-

/ ada has become progressively more acute annually.

The agricultural labor force in Canada in 1956 shows

a reduction of some 100,000 since 1953, and is ap-

proximately: the same as it’ was in 1900, This re-
sults in part from mechanization of agriculture:

The industrial development. in British Columbia
is, however, very. definitely adversely affecting. the
farm labor supply. Higher wages and improved work-
ing conditions in industries other than~ agriculture
attract the best workers. The position of: agriculture
in the labor market is likely to become even rhore
acute as. construction and other industrial projects
increase their man power requirements.

A report from the: National Employment Service
shows only 995 farm placements to June 30th of
this year compared, to 4,955 for the same period in
1955—a tremendous reduction of 4,000. While dif-
fieulty in obtaining help and further “mechanization
contributed to this decline,.it was the result largely
of a.drastically reduced demand for workers on straw-

berry and ‘raspberry farms in the Frazer: Valley.. The
figure reflects the very heavy loss in pr luction

caused by the abnormally heavy frosts last winter,

and graphically portrays the very serious blow to. the.
farm economy of the Province.

A survey of farm labor conditions in the Province
just completed: by the British Columbia Department

of Agriculture reveals a shortage of permanent farm

help on dairy farms, nurseries,’ greenhouses, ‘poultry
farms, and: other agricultural enterprises.

In order to harvest the. -crops this year {particu-

larly the apple crop) -it appt it- Will be necessary

- forall local ‘communities in the- Okanagan to organize

the help locally. 17 is imperative the : local organiza- -

tions such as Boards of: Trade, etc. co-operate’ fully
with officials. of. the National Employment Service
and of the’ Federal: Provincial Farm Labor ‘Service:
