Letters
• r� T0 Editor .•
Mr Editor,
As, • we find sour •local . paper, ,
something ' we look forward to
'every.. week:. How about a' little
discussion on: our •different prob-
lems.
One• of mine for exaniple is the
tremendous power we :'farm peo-
_ple :have,: if we :would• only stand
up.• for. each other. and Work to-
• .-gether for our,;common good and
benefit: :.
• When we •meet people • 'who •
Speak • disparagingly of our dif
•ferent •ca -op ; organizations; gen-
erally speaking' they have some;
thing to lose, because we • are
'learning to do 'things, . for • our-
selves.
',But when we hear : a. fellow
who 'calls himself a farmer; who
is ' ';doing little to.' support qui
different organizations, yet` reap.
ing` the benefit or more staple
prices,..either buying or selling
• because 'the ' co-ops are in there•
doing their share of business.
W e still find some ' of those
men .Who . like, to:' grouch,; yet ,
know so little , of the important. �
place agriculture holds in the
economy of Canada. 'Up to
of the wealth of ' our country .` is
tied -up in agriculture according
to statistics, Are we..getting our
.fair .share of this industry?
I hope someone who o reads this
article, and doesn't agree that
we have gone a long way towards
helping ourselves,. 'arid that 'we
should go further, and haveour
own processing plants to handle
a. Share 'of' our live stock, and
market the same•as dressed meats,
will telcos why they cannot sue-
,'
ceed as welt as our fertilizer, in
surance and gas and oil business.
