What I arn imost interested lan is 'agriculture. Beinga fainer, I know somiething cf the condition cf the fainmers and particularly cf ho'w they feel ia the rlding which 1I have the honoun te reproseat. The Minister cf Agriculture (-Mn.

Farmers today hink we have toc rnuch gev- erniont lyy mon eutsidle the govera- m-enit. They may be good mon lu- thoeir owa irie but 1 arn afraid, that they do n ot nndicerstand thec probilems c f the farmn-er and the con- dition cf agriculture. For years, faruiers have not had an even break, w-th industry. They cousider that witb this war on and their produce la se m-ýuch demand tbey shouhd ho gîivon a little btter deal. I believe that the Minister of .Agiculturec should bo more respo-nsible for thei distribhution cf food and for the pri- ces that the foi nions are te, get for thoeir preduce, now that we have startod p'aying subsidies. To miy mmnd thore is i.ne an in Canada who kneows agriculture or the probleins cf the farmer boetter t'han dees the M.in- ister c)f Agriculture, ai I do net believo the-re is -any man in Cainada whe la more syipathetic tel th e fan- mers than he is.

The ffarmers- feel that they are w'orking 'miore or leas in the dark. 1 mean bjy this that theày have no as- surance that 'when they prioduce(, they wlll get the sarne pnice for any oe-t f timo. I do net mean, as seehave said here, that they have net bceon gionirectien by the gev- ernrneut or- by -the Mlinster eof Agri- Icîture and his officiais-, wh'e I ho- lieve have done a wonderfufl job) in that regard. Bt the f-armers con- sider that they have n-o assur-ance that if thoy produce they will ever a period cf time get anything like the sanie price. Agriculture is a long-ranige b'jisi- ness.

YOUR RED CROSS appeals to you for funds to carry on is program of iuercy; to continue vital war work performed by nio other organization. Neyer has the need been se urgent. Helping to keep up the morale of half-a-million fighting mon is a giganitie task, and that is only the beginning. The Red Cross mnakes tife more bearable for thousands of prisoniers of war. Over 2,000,000 parcels were shipped te themn last year - more than this numrber m ust g o in 1943. Our mon in British and Canadian hospitals need Red Cross comforts and heartening visits fromn the staff of Red Cross "lvisitors". Red Cross help te shipwrecked saliors is essential, thoughtful, immediate. Homeless war orphans - our own kmn and those of our allies-sick and starving men and women in many lands- millions in Russia, Greece and China and other peoples of the United Nations-need more food, medicine and comforts fromn the Red Cross. The ned is world-wide; this yearthe costwill be greater th-an ever. The work must g-o on. Obey the dictates of your heat; open wide your purse and be generous.

Th-ey have doe s0 ia goedly neies but that is their pivilege in' a democracy. The reas'on for the -scarcity of labeur is thaqt inidustry bas beon allowed te pay tee high wages, especially when contracta are oni a cost-plua basis. Ev-ony farmler wants te see his soen do bis duty to bis ccountry; the ýboys wanit te, do thoir duty, andi as 1 have said, have doue se i lanay instan- ces. ýBut a farmer eaneot coin-iplet-e ,with iudlustry so fan as wýages are coacernied. We have about a million moen sud wernen lu iudustry te-day, sud that la big drain on agriculture.

There would net have been nearly as mucbh dissatiafactio-i or n-aniy as muchi interference witb agriculture as there bas :beoni.
