a policy, every effort be made to bring to Canada the greatest pos- sible number of agricultural set- tlers from Great Britain, the Unit- ed States and the Northern coun- tries 01' Europe. A FARMER-LABOR PARTY Then will be general agreement that this resolution is a valuable contribution towards heading the government of Canada in the dir- ection of a real, national develop- ment policy having for its object the colonization of our largest body of unoccupied lands and, incident- ally, solving the acute labor prob- lem of the Canadian farmer in the only manner in Which it ever can (b) That a systematic plan be worked out, in co-operation with the railways and the land owners with assisted East-European peas- antry, accustomed to a standard of living which will enable them to es- tablish homes on small farms with- in such sub-marginaal districts, with the expectation of working for other farmers during part of‘ each year; such colonists to be set- tled only in small groups forming convenient labor centres. be satisfactorily solved. And we might as well clearly understand that until this labaor problem is solved we cannot make any worth while progress in diversifying our farming operations. In Great Brit- ain and Europe, farm labaor is resident on the land or in villages, occupying cottages and bits of gar- dens owned by the landlords. This system cannot be introduced in Western Canada at least and would be difficult in the East. Recogniz- ing that agricultural labor is dis- tinctly in a class by itself and (2)- The difficulty of obtaining a sufficient volume of seasonal ag- ricultural labor for harvest, hay- ing, root culture, fruit picking, etc., which has necessitated rushing to Western Canada a vast volume of unskilled and inferior labor each autumn, leading to a heavy unem- ployment relief burden upon the towns and cities of the West each winter. _ la) To cause an immediate ex- amination to be made of sub-main ginal districts throughout Canada with a view to segregating those that are manifestly and pennan- ently unfit for any sort of settle- ment, as well as those that are at presen unavailable owing to lack of transportation facilities. Canada, east and west, much of which is located within easy dis- tance of transportation, but has been discarded by land seekers in the past or frequently abandoned by settlers unable to adopt a stan- dard of living in keeping with the economic results such lands are capable of yielding. Those who are familiar with Canada’s resources and development will unhesitatingly agree with these eminently sane conclusions, which contain in a nutshell the real prob lems facing us all. Equally sound are the remedies proposed. The Federal government is urged: (l) The settlement of our sub- marginal lands (including bush country, the drier lands, round and inferior areas), which apparently constitute well over 50 per cent of all present unoccupied lands in A Western Board of Trade re- cently passed a resolution pointing out that Canada faces two major agricultural and colonization prob- lems, which are particularly acute in Nova Scotia, New Bruswiok, Northern Ontario, British Colum- bia and the Prairie Provinces, PAGE 6. w. namno Concouohs Only â€"No Sideline Nothing too old. small, large or hard for us to tackle 34 years’ experience NO COLLECTIONâ€"NO CHARGE COLONIZATION AND FARM LABOR COLLECTIONS COLLECTORS )ran villa and Owen Sound won and ofn'ce3169 9th St. E.

There is absolutely no mom No one deplores the farmers’ in- ability to pay union wages and adopt union hours more thorough- ,ly than the farmer does himself. But to apply such an ideal pro- gram would involve butter at a dollar a pound retail and other farm produce in proportion, and no class of consumer has hitherto exhibited any alarming desire to voluntarily I place his household budget on any such costly basis. The farmer, be- ing manager, capitalist and labor- er all rolled into one, is directly and instantly confronted with fun- damental, economic facts. One of them is that there must be a pro- v â€"v â€"-v . vv... for compromise. If he cannot hire labor at a feasible rate of pay, he must either hand over to his hired man all, or part, of what be per- sonally produces in “the sweat of should be, as it were, attached to the land, and also that the demand for such labor is highly seasonal, the obvious course is to settle it 'on small farms where the laborer and his family can be profitably employed when not working out. THE FABMER'S WIFE The question of occasional dom- estic labor also enters into the matter. The overworked housewife faces periods of extra strain dur- ing the agricultural year. It is useless to look to urban centres as a source of occasional help. Dom. estic servants will not go into coun- try districts away from the con- veniences and amusements of the towns. And they do not have to. Competition for their services is too keen in urban communities. To obtain such labor upon our farms for short periods during the year is, therefore, practically impossi- ble. The plan under discussion would also solve this very serious problem. The wives and daughters of this class of settlers would wel- come the opportunity to earn a sub- stantial sum during haying, har- vesting, threshing and fruit-pick- ing season. THE FARMER AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES Those who think in terms of un- ionized labaor will shy at any at- tempt to make available casual farm labor at a somewhat more con- sistent rate of pay than now pre- vails during the busy seasons. The truth is that the farmer is now “held up” owing to the fact that he is obliged to obtain his help largely through government em- ployment agencies, where certain rates are demanded through cohe- sive action on the part of unem- ployed, who gather there. daily and have ample time and opportunity to agree amongst themselves to uniform minimum demands. The fact is clearly recognized that the Canadian farmer is not safe in placing himself in the hands of these public employment agencies, however anxious the managers of them may be. to observe strict neu- trality.
