Speaking during the vff s debate in the legislature which ranged from education to rail railways � ways and hospitals Uie min minister � ister said farming differs sharp sharply � ly from other basic industries NO STOPPING TREE It was a relatively simple matter to shut down a mine and lay off a work crew when Uie market for a metal fell A manufacturer who found de mand forhis product falling off could shut down and lay off employees But the farmer could not shut down an apple tree or lay off a dairy cow That is why we feel that the man on the land is entitled to a degree of consideration that at times may extend rather be beyond � yond the normal confines of social responsibility NEW SERVICE That was why a trained staff was maintained to help the farmer The staff was also a benefit to the public For in instance � stance a completely reorgan reorganized � ized meat inspection service would carry out inspections of all qualifying abattoirs in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island after
