The Oshavon Times Published by Canadign Newspapers Limited, 86 King 5t, E., Oshawa, Ont Page 6 Yuesdoy, December 27, 1960 Continued Decline Seen In Farm Employment - Enough food for himself and nine other persons was the average output of & Canadian sgricultural worker twenty yesrs ago; today he produces enough food for himself and 22 other persons. And this revolution in agriculture, result- ing of course from farm mechanization, hes reduced farm employment as much as it has multiplied farm output, Twenty years ago agriculture employed 1,200,000 Canadians; today the number is just over 700,000, Twenty year from now, esti mates a bull®in just published by the federal Department of Labor, total agri- cultural employment will be just under 500,000 The bulletin, Trends in the Agricul- tural Labor Force in Canada from 1921 to 1059, states that 33 per cent of the labor force were at work on the farms in 1921, and only 11 per cent in 1959. The rate of decline in the farm labor force has slowed down in the past two years, but this group will continue to up a smaller proportion of the be make total civilian labor force. "It must remembered," says the bulletin, "that the after 1940 heen from the farms because people had dammed up' in agriculture during the depression in the 1930's, If one considers movement was larger the trend of employment in agriculture for the past 28 years ie, from 1931 to of average compound rate 1.78 1989, the decline has been about per cent Projecting this slower vile of decline into the future would lead to the conclusion thet the number employed in esgricul ture may be slightly less than 500,000 by 1979 or 1980" Hired help is becoming more of a problem for the farmer, partly because there are fewer year-round jobs offered and partly because of the attraction of other industries. "In 1958" says the bulletin, "farm workers put in an average of 54 hours per week, compared with 40 hours for workers in non-agricultural industries. Wages for hired farm works ers have been rising since the early 1940's. In August, 1941, the average in Canada for male farm wages, with board, was $35 a month. In August, 1958, the comparable average was $120, Despite the lower this increase over years, however, farm wages remain even than those for unskilled labor in other indus tries , , Also noted is the point that in 1948 agriculture was second only to manu facturing as a source of employment for Canadians, while in 1958 it ranked fourth to manufacturing, service and trade, Can- adian farming has indeed undergone a revolution end although the physical volume of farm production can be ex. pected to go on rising, both in terms of total output and output"per worker, agriculture will drop farther back as ol provider jobs New Bank President of Earle The w Mc Laughlin as president and chief execu- tive officer of the Royal Bank of Can. ada was of particular interest to Oshawa He went to school in Osh appointment and district awa ~- and he succeeded Madison W Walter saddened numerous friends in this area as well as banking colleagues As the Montreal Star banking used to be thought of as & leisurely occupation, This is no longer true.
