W. A. GOODFELLOW (Continued from March 28th) I want to say a few words in connection with the institutions which presently come under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture. I shall refer first to perhaps the greatest agricultural institution to be found anywhere, and that is the Ontario Agricultural College, which has done a great job in assisting agriculture not only in Ontario and Canada, but through the graduates from that institution, has assisted the industry in other countries as well. I might say that the Ontario Agricultural College has devloped greatly, and we as a government, the people of Ontario, have a very great investment in the Ontario Agricultural College and in the other two institutions, Macdonald Institute and the Ontario Veterinary College. This government from 1950-1951 to the present time has increased its allotment for the operation and maintenance of the Ontario Agriclutural College alone, from the 1951 estimates of $2,096,000 to today's expenditure of $3,971,000, which we are asking this Legislature to approve. I want to pay tribute to the personnel of these various institutions, and also our two schools at Kemp-ville and Ridgetown, which are giving practical courses to future farmers in the province of Ontario. I feel they are fulfilling a very useful purpose in respect to agriculture in tht days that lie ahead. I would also like to pay tribute to Vineland, which I have had the privilege of visiting on several occasions during the past year, and which has made a great contribution to horticulture in the province of Ontario during these 50 odd years since it came into being. Sometimes there Is a misunderstanding in connection with what the Provincial Department of Agriculture of Ontario, or the Federal Department of Agriculture might be responsible for, insofar as agriculture is concerned. I feel there should be no overlapping and no misunderstanding. I believe a close study should be made of the duties and responsibilities of these two departments, provincial and federal, so that those jurisdictions will be clear-cut as to what lies within the responsibility of our own department provincially, and what rightfully might be called the responsibil- ity of the federal government. ! CRAMAHE COUNCIL As I see it, some of those things j - which rightfully come within the Cramahe Council met in the Coun-scope of our own provincial depart- : cil Chamber, Castleton, April 5th at ment are research extension, market- 1.30 p.m. ing, promotional work, production, selling the consumer, farm management, and what have you. I believe these are things which we are doing, and which we should promote and develop, to assist the farmers of this province to do a better job for themselves and the selling of the products of the soil. Some mention has been made in this House of the inquiry by a select committee or by some commission into the price spreads which exist between the producer and consumer. We are fully aware, as are the hon. members of the House that there is a widesprad priee spread between what" the farmer receives and what the consumer pays. But I am sure that hon. members would realize that any price spread inquiry could be conducted at the federal level, because of the widespread application of farm commodities across the various provinces of Canada. It was suggested by the Gordon commission that the farmers of Canada are entitled to the same degree of protection that industry has been afforded in this country of ours. I believe there has been a tendency towards a cheap food policy at the expense of agriculture in this province for a great many years, and it is something which deserves attention before the agricultural industry reaches the point where it cannot be resurrected, so to speak. The faTn people of this county received, last year, 7 per cent of the national income, compared with 12 per cent which they received 5 years ago. That is a serious drop, and I am sure hon. members, whether they represent rural constituencies or urban ridings, will appreciate that the farmer is not enjoying his share of the national economy in comparison with the investment, effort and long hours which he puts into his operation. I am sometimes concerned about the tendency toward what might be called "dumping" taking place on our Canadian markets, which, during certain seasons of the year, affects the prices received by our producers of primary products. In certain countries, including a neighbour of ours, there is apparently a two-price system.
