FURROW AND
FALLOW
(By FAIRBAIRN)
This may be the busy festive
season but for many farm or-
ganizations leaders it is just
plain busy—and very few holi-
days for them! Frankly, we of-
ten wonder how some of these
people manage to carry on the
farm business when they are
away so much on the business
of the many organizations in
which they are active. In many
cases that's where the wives
enter the picture and our hats
are off to both sides of the fam-
ily who make terrific sacrifices
in order that farm people may
be represented and heard in the
places where it counts.
For example, the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture met
the Agricultural Committee of
the provincial legislature (a
week ago yesterday), the next
it held a Members' meeting
(the first open one incidentally)
and on the following Monday
the OFA Governors met the On-
tario Cabinet. These are big
meetings, not just the execu-
tive, and they keep a lot of
people away from home for
quite a long time. Of course,
the executives usually manage
to sandwich a few meetings in
around these sessions.
The OFA got fast action on
its request that the Ontario
government do all in its power
to further development of an
international food distribution
program—such a scheme was
approved by the United Nations
two days later. That is a
facetious statement because this
latest presentation could have
had very little, if anything, to
do with the vote in the UN but
it does point up the effect of
constant repetition. Without go-
ing back over every brief to
cabinet in the last ten years to
make, sure, we think a similar
request had been made in each
of them.
This is something farm peo-
ple have been urging for years
for selfish as well as humani-
tarian reasons. The plan most
recently presented by Agricul-
ture Minister Hamilton to the
OFA in Rome is the basis for
what has finally been approved
and the fact that Canada offer-
ed to provide cash that could
be used to purchase foods pro-
duced in other countries, as
well as surplus food had a
great deal to do with its adop-
tion. Many nations were fear-
ful of a plan that would simply
be used by nations with sur-
plus food production to dump
their surpluses and upset the
economic balance of world
trade.
Getting back to the local
scene, the OFA brief to cabinet
reiterated the request for a
farm machinery act and at the
members' meeting references
were made to the special ses-
sion earlier with the commit-
tee of the legislature. We ga-
ther that OFA members who
attended that one, were not too
happy with the results and we
can't blame them. It was bad-
ly handled and too many mem-
bers of the legislature were too
concerned with making politi-
cal hay—or trying to. The meet-
ing never got down to any ob-
jective discussion of what a
farm machinery act should ac-
complish.
