FORUM Oui meeting of March 13' was heid at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Rundie with an attend- ance of 29. 'The subject for dis- cussiorn was "Can We Farm Co- operatively?" In discussing the first question "«Why la it that only a very smali percentage« of Canadian farmers operate land or machinery on an ergffnized co-aperative plan?" it was- considered more from the machinery than land angle as ini a settled community farmers are unlikely to adopt complete co- operative farming methods. The ca-operative use of mach- inery bas been restricted owing to .(a) human nature; (b) the re- luctance ta surrender one's in- dependence; (c) the fact that al would need the machinery at ap- proximately the same time; (d) difficulties ini setting up of a sat- isfactory basis for co-operative buying and use; (e) farmer's sons often carry on much the same as their fathers did. In newer districts it wouid be ta the advantage of a young man wanting to start farming with limited capital ta jain in a co- operative farming scheme under favourable circumstances. A few of our members wouid be willing to buy certainý mach- inery co-operatively as the necess- ary machinery is too dbstly for the Individual farmer who is just beginnlng farming. The majority are thankful for good neighbours who -have generously loaned nladhinery.

Because we have not been educated ta this way of farming, each fariner likes ta farin in bis own way. This naturally would cause fric- tion. This Forumi thInks it would be ta the advantage cf the yaung farmer staiting up ta farni co- aperatively. They would pool their resources ta buy machinery; tbey could buy a better clasa cf stock, etc. Yes, their are somne farming activities which could he done co-operatively in aur neigh- bourhood, for example, haying, harvesting and silo filling. Recreation time followed with games of cards and lunch. Next meeting March .20 at the school. HAMPTON FORUM Hampton Forum gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Cruickshank to discuss the sub- ject "Can We Farm Co-aperative- Most farmers are thought to be individualista and prefer that, farming is a business of thei own. It was thought praetical for a co-operative farm ta operate in a newly developed country when they tould build together and have their own sewage disposai and electricity would ho cheaper. It was thought a matter of agree- ing on a definite principle and making it out te that effect. Haylng would be done fastor and mate efficicntly. Weed sprayers, manure loaders, tomato and potato planters were- mach- inery mentioned that would be better owned co-operatively. Mr. McGarity, manager of Dur- ham County Co-op, Orono, apoke ta us on the aim cf the co-op and told us ncarly ail machinery, hardware and electrical equip- ment could be purchased by or- dering. Ncxt meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Ayre. KENDAL FORUM 'PT Kendal Forum- met at the home of Mi. and Mrs. Reg. Elliott with the subi cct for discussion being "Can We Faim Co-operatively?" Only a veiy amall percentage cf Canadien farmera operate land or machinery on an oîganized, ca-aperative plan. Why la this sa? We found that it was nat practical ta aperate land in this manner on settled faims. Meny faîmers around bore piofer ta have their macbinery at band when tbey are ueady te use ItL Ta the second question: "Would it be ta the advantageocf a young man wanting ta stant faîming with a limited capital, ta join in a co-operativo fanming scheme?" The answeî was "From a financiai point cf view deflnitely yes, as ho would not have ta invost half the capital for the. use cf the machinery." The third question "Are there any farmîng oponatians in youn community that would ho botter done ca-operatîvely?" We found that custom work would ho cheaper than co-operative woîk. A quiz game was veîy much enjoyed when memonies of gaines played at achool wcre revived. Oui hosteas, Mis. Reg. Elliott, seîved lunch and a social time was enjoyed. NEWCASTLE FORUM Newcastle Forum met at Bill Allin's. Afteî listening ta the progîam on the radia the folaw- ing decisions were reached: As we aie tîaditionally indiv- idualiats we would want ta study this question furthen before go- ing into a co-oporative achome. The faîmer feels gregter Incen- tive and inteîest, hawever, wben ho is woîking with bis own land and stock. Ca-aperative farin- ing wauld end individual initia- tive and wauld make farinons mnerely a wage-eanner. Many farinons feel that farming is a way f life ln addition te an accupltion. It is for this reason that tbey are faiming, making thein a common wage eaîner would take this away. Cerlaîn types of machinery that are costly and used very little which can ho used co-open- atively te good advantage, but one man shculd aperate and cane for the machine. Opinion was very evenly div- idod on No. 2. Those who thought it was a gaad methad cf getting started- seemed ta faveur indlv- idual operation when ho could afford this. After a social heur lunch was served. Next meeting at the home of Mr. and Mis. Gea. WaI- ton. BLACKSTOcK FORUM Blackstock Forum was weil at- tended at the homeocf Mn. and Mis. A. W. Wright. In the ab- seene cf Gerslld Stinson, Ralph Lainier acted as cliairman. A good discussion centred au- ound the co-operative use of land and machlneny. It was admitted by semne that porbaps lbas capital might be needed and more mat- erial gains mlgbt be galned by co-aperatian. It was goneîally agreed that some types of farming and tmre areis lends Itseif te such sebemes, but in aid Ontario where individual farms and farin- ers prevailed, It was possible but very Improbable. Many voices were raised ýp suport cf indivIdual possession, where ach excelled in nome Uine and apportunity ta follow it ta théa top. Pride in your awn abillty and successfuiness make the fie men and wamen we have in Oùr land today. When will Mr. Co-op drive hia show hres or exhibit hi. priae stock to thrlll the crowds that visit our Fairs and Exhibitions?

ELIZABETHVILLE FORUM The meeting for March 13 was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Morley McAllister with 21 mem- bers present. "'Why la it that only a smalI percentage of Canadian farmers operate land or machlnery on an organized ca-aperative plan?" We believed that several reasons ieél to the small amount of land and machinery operated on a co-op- erative basis- in Canada. In this section of more settled and estab- lished farms the faims are indiv- idually owned and have acquired machinery of their own; these- fore tbey do not feel a need for co-operative farm plans. Some felt, taa, that it wouldn't be prac- tical in this part of the country as the majority of farms are too small. Question 2 concerning whether or not a young man with limited capital should enter into a Co- operative farming scheme brought about two, points of view. One group feit that it would be better for the young man ta be bis own boss and faim as he, saw fit. It wvould give him a sense of ach-, ievement ta work bis land and in return awn bis holdings. The op- position said "1yes"' as it would be impossible today ta purchase land, buildings and machinery at the present high prices. We could lead ta a better community spirit. We thought that the only farm- ing activities that could be carried on co-operatively are threshing, silo filling, wood cutting and quilting. .Next meeting at the home of Mr. Ernie Powell.

But it is not the end.
