Osborne's with an at- tendance of 25. Question for dis- cussion was, "How can farmers reach full production without suf- fering from glutted markets?" If the present price levels of pro- ducts bought and soid by the far- mer are maintained over a period of years, suffîcient production of farmn products would be assured. Floor prices would help to assure full production as long as the floor isn't in the celiar. Steady moderate prices are preferred to fiuctuating prices. Subsidies areE airight as a relief measure but a better way is to have the pro- cessor pay the producer a high enough price so that subsidies are unnecessary. It is beiieved that at present the processors' profits are too high. Subsidies are a way of regulating prices to keep down cost of living to the consum- er when the prices cannot be re- gulated in any other way. We favour government con- tracts for the sale of agricultural produce as they tend to keep up a steadier supply of farm products as the farmer is certain of a mar- ket and a fair price, and can reg- ulate bis production accordingly. Someone said that knowing what produce is needed and what we are going to receive for it makes farming more 'comfortable." Go- vernment contracts shouid be publicized well in advance. Government boards are need- ed for ail major uines of produc- tion, particularly for products available for export. If we had open markets we'd be back where we were before, one man under- selling the next. There shouid not be open markets for agricul- tural products and protected mar- kets for other products. We pre- fer that control be through mar- keting boards of the various comn- modities. F.A.O. should be backed by all. AIl natural resources should be fully deveioped. Only practical control of production is through price control. Two groups wili meet for this season. On Nov. 12 the East group wili meet at Allan Down's. Leaders were chosen, Wm. Bickle for West group and Gien Pickel for East group.

STOCKYARD TRADING As a protection to the buyer and seller of live stock, certain requirements are made with re- spect to trading in stockyards and public markets in Canada. Sales agencies and dealers must be bonded and must place funds re- ceived from the sale of live stock in a Shippers' Trust Account. AU records must be bona fide and open for inspection. Schedules of commissions and charges are sub- ject to officiai approval, as are also scales and weighmasters. Stockyard proprietors are re- quired to provide adequate ac- commodation and services, as well as good feed at f air prices. An officiai representative of the Do- minion Department of Agriculture is located at each of the eleven stockyards in Canada to adminis- ter the regulations and prepare regular market reports. Certain controls are also exercised over packers' yards in the case of live stock purchased by the packer direct from the country. Now Vour Tax Money 19 Spent at Ottawa Since most of our readers are interested in just how their mon- ey is spent b3 the Liberai gov- ernment at Ottawa, and most of it without the knowledge of mem- bers of parliamént, the only way to iearn the facts is for M.P.'s to ask questions of the Cabinet Min- isters. These appear in Hansard and The Statesman scans this official publication so that the information may be passed on to the tax payers. Here are some items found in recent weeks: To date, 1945, some 16,447 Can- adians have been granted permits to go to the USA to work in lum- ber camps. . 87 Canadian corvettes, each costing from $690,000 to $958,160, have been handed over to War Assets foýr disposai.

BOWMANVILLE. ONTARIO PAGE FUUk FARM LABOUR CONTROLS Two controls on farm labour are to be abolished after the 1945 crop is harvested, probably on Nov. 15, states the Labour Ga- zette in its September issue. These controls are the provision that men in agriculture are flot allow- ed to leave their employment, and the power to direct men to agri- culture. This action eliminates every control except (a) Requirement that a permit be obtained before accepting employment; (b) Re- quirement to give 7 days' notice on terminating empioymelt; (c) Requirement that employers must list vacancies and that those seek- ing work shall register; and (d) Requirement of a labour exit per- mit.
