Farmer Union Starts Local at | Manchester An organizational meeting of the Ontario Farmers' Union 'was 'held in Manchester Hall, Reach Township, on Thursday night, January 27, With A. V. Cormack, President of the Union, as speaker, Parity 'Prices for Farmers, A Na- tional Produce Controlled Livestock Marketing Board and a United Na- tional: Farm Voice were three of the main planks on which our Union is built, started the speaker, Mr .Cormack reviewed the history of farm life in stating that as a boy he remembered the social and eco- nomic standard of farm folk being beneath that of city and town folks, and it took a war, when farm pro- ducts were so badly needed, to feed our nation, our army, and our allies, to put farmers in a position nearest to parity, and caused the prestige of farmers to rise to the standard of others, both socially and economically. The farmers, in having this increased earning power bought new tractors, combines, cars, lit the countryside with hydro, built towns, supported '| cities and generally made things good for everybody. Then came 1952 and farm products, began to slip backward. Eggs in Jan, of this year, selling fourteen cents or % below the price of Jan. 1949, Hog prices in Jan, this year $4.00 per cwt. less than the average price of 1949; the average price of beef in 1953, being on a par with 1048-1949 prices, while other people have moved ahead 30% or more since 1949. The speaker claimed the Farmers| have every right to receive a price, 'as worded in the Agriculture Support Act --A price in fair relationship between the returns from Agriculture and those from other occupations. We would apply this only to the portion of our products consumed here in Canada, by those with our national high earning power, said Mr, Cormack. In the U. S. A. the Government there has given a high percentage of parity to the total production of certain farm commodities, This has had a tend- ency to produce surpluses, We have advocated, to our Government, three years ago, this system of Parity on Price of farm products, consumed in'. [3 Canada, in order that we can dispose of our surplus to other countries, at a price thét they can pay. Farmers, today, are expected to ex- port to countries at foreign prices, while our cost of production -is many times that of these countries. This is impossible, said Mr. Cormack. _ A National Producer controlled, live- stock marketing board, is a dire neces- sity. Manitoba and Saskatchewan, now have a producer controlled plan, entailing cattle, sheep and swine and now is ready for a plebiscite vote of producers. Ontario is lagging away behind. We only direct hogs from our stable door to the front door of the packers, and even under our scheme, we are directing just as many hogs to the packers as we did before, said the speaker. This scheme cannot possibly work Provincially, as chain stores and packers have brought in dressed pork from the Western Pro- weeks. It must be National.. « Mr .Cormack outlined how, labour, profession, industry and all others are organized for their own protection. Let a packer cut our price 26c. per cwt. and: every packer in Canada knows it in just a few minutes, he said. The farmers feed the whole caboodle of them, "and what have 'we got?" he asked. 'We have no national farm voice and never had. The farm voice [of the Western Provinces is the voice of the Farm Unions and the western voice of the Federation of Agriculture is that of commercial groups such as Pool Elevators, and the the several Co-Op. inchiding the voice of the city folk through their Consumer Co-Op. "How can we have a national farm voice under these conditions?" he asked. He then called: on the Ont. Fed: of Agri. to join hands with the Union: to form that National Voice. We are in the Federation will you come in the Union? A number of prominent farmers took membership in the new organiza- tion, starting a local lodge in Man- chester. 0.M.H.A.
