page six the acton free press acton ontario thursday january 12th ibm reports and articles from haltonf armlsnds and farm organizations tremendous crowd at annual york soil and crop assoc met for many years we hnve heard blowing reports of the york county soil and crop improvement asso ciation annual meeting this year we received an invitation to parti cipate in their program it seemed like an excellent opportunity to go and see for ourselves so on wed- nesday last accompanied by m c beaty first vicepresident of the hnlton association we hended the car for newmarket as in halton the york county people commence tholr meeting sharp at 10 30 a m the main differ ence between the halton and york meetings lay in the attendance some 400 farm operators packed the town hall in newmarket and the great majority were there at uktisniro m iiw ritu u i i tui i u uumji the program in our opinion while good was no better than our own no les of short reports by local farm opera tors they had a panel discussion in which we were piivileged to partici pate personally we like to listen to the short snappy reports from prnc ticnl farmers however it is per haps a matter of opinion barberry buckthorn campalim the highlight of the morlnrg ses sion in our opinion was the brief il lustrated report by the york county agrlc rep moff cockbuin on their barberry and buckthorn cam paign in york they hnve a few areas where oats are a fnilurt due to rust hence the reason for their campaign against barberry and buckthorn the hi to tiy out either of these vnriotics this year they had bettei move fast because supplies of both nre limited perchance there are areas in halton too where the oats went down badly with rust if there were we would be glad to hear from some of the farm operators who are having trouble legume varieties recommended at the nfternoon session prof c g e downing head of the dept of field husbandly were the chief speakers both were excellent un- fortunntely we can not reproduce their adresses dr tossell recom mended that in 1050 farm operators purchase lnsnlle red clover ver nal alfalfa and climax timothy 11 three varieties are reported uy tnnvuuatstnz j while the

oats had been almost a complete loss certainly the york county farmers are enthusiastic about the new varieties garry and rodney these two varieties withstood the rust ra vages while other varieties like larain beaver and ajux were al most a total loss in those areas several york county farmers stated it is cither garry or rodney for me this year so if halton county farmers want foi the old

mnngvment can affect farmers incomes in two ways 1 changing the price which fai met s pay for the things they have to buy 2 changing the pi ice which farmers lecelve fqi the things they hove to sell labour unions argue that higher wages mean more spendable income in their hands as this income is spent it will increase the demand tor all goods and services on the mmket and thus piosperity wilt be maintained be that as it may the farmer is interested in how much of this cxtia income is used to purchase fnrm pioducts many would contend thiit labour is already reasonably well fed befoie the wage

agriculture topic of panel discussion at the oac this was the title of an excellent address by s h lane of the dept of agricultural economics at the short course in marketing and co operating held at the ontario agri cultural college last week the panel discussion which followed on whom shall farm organizations serve hinged around the same subject as chairman of this panel we found it a difficult one on which to draw definite conclusions con flicts in agriculture fall into three main categories 1 conflicts be tween agriculture and the national economy 2 conflicts between agriculture and other individual groups in our economy 3 conflicts between various groups within agri culture itself the statement is often made that what is good for the rest of the econoim or conversely what is good foi the nation as n whole is bound to begood for farmers while il cannot be denied that prosperity is mutually beneficiil to agriculture and rest of the economy and con versely that depressions are mutual ly disastrous it does not follow that the benefits of prosperity or the hardshrpof depression will bo shar- ed equitably bv all g this is n big subject and we shall not attempt to develop it here suf flee to say canndian economics historians who have studied the national and agricultural policies of canada have concluded that nation al policies have been designed pri marily to foster the development of the industrial and commerce sectors of our economy in short what has been done for agriculture was done for the benefit of industry and com merce and not specifically foi the benefit of farmers agriculture and labour theoreticall agriculture laboui wage thev may food to a likilv increase feet the resulting inciense in costs agriculture und industry most fnrmeis aie very familiar with this conflict foi many viais thev have been nwme that as fouveis the must buy from a relatvh small number of large pioducers as sellers of farm produce thev must sell to a i datively small niimbu of dealers who in trim sell to an ivcn smaller number of processors in shoit fnrm lenders maintain that farm operators buy and sell in n monopolistic mm ket i yhifh the uui gaining a rs always against them hence the reiison foi the growth of farmercontrolled marketing boards and agencies in brief they are an attempt to give farmers more equal bni gaining power with their piospcctwe cus tomers conflict within agriculture i these may be classified as follows 1 regional conflicts 2 conflicts between the desire for more securi ty and the desire for more economic freedom 3 conflict between ef ficicnt businesslike farmers and farmers who considei farming rnmn- ly as a way of life regional conflict is a veiy com mon type of conflict in cimadian agriculture there is the conflict between the apple producers of nova scotia ontario and british columbia there is the conflict be tween western and eastern live stock producers there is the con flict between the soybean producers and the duiry producers and so we might go on to give other illustra tions how vei we have already far ex ceeded our limitations for space suffice to say it was in oui opinion a most illuminating address and
