Financial Position Not Geiod
Rev. A. H. Daynard, Staffa,
Perth County Federation fieklman,
dealing with the farmers' situation
and some attempts to do some-
thing about it, pointed out that
the farm financial situation is not
good. During. the 1951-54 period,
the national income was up nine
and one half per cent, while the
farmers' income was' down 48 per
cent. Ontario, he said, fared. bet-
ter. Fifteen per cent of the work-
ing force, the farmers, received
only 6.8 per cent of the national
income.
Ontario Hog Produeers' Co-operas'
tive in Toronto on March 1 and
with vice-president, Winston Shep-
ton es: alternate,
The Women's Cestenittee dee*
ec.1 to ask the Township Federat-
ions for heip in raising their share
of the Agnes McPhail
fund for a scholarship in sociology.
The secretary-fieldman, Gordon.
Grieg, 131nevale and Clinton, Was
asked to contact R. Hr Stewart,
Almonte, to see if he would be
able to .attend meetings, in the
county td discuss farm income tax
problems.
The directors' endorsed a reaoln,
Um, forwarded by the Stanley
Township Federation, asking that
farmers consigning Livestock xo
community sales be compelled to
give their names at the time of
sale and that this be instituted
on a province-wide basis, A sec-
ond resolution from Howick Town-
ship regarding the shortage of
feed oats 'in this part. of the
country was also considered, The
resolution stated the belief - that
since the grain quotas of the
Western Canadian farmers were
based upon bushel basis, rather
than on pounds, the farmers were
delivering wheat, rather than, oats,
because of 'the difference in
weight, (Wheat: 60 pounds per
bushel; oats: 34 pound's per bush.-
'el). Both of these resolutions
were endorsed and will be for-
warded to the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture.
Farmers are an efficient lot, he
said, showing an average increase
a year of 2.5 'percent from 1900 to
1950, while all manufacturing in-
creased only 1.6 per, cent.
There are entirely new condit-
ions todaye"lie continued. "You
have to buy today as well as sell.
You must trade. We live on a
two-way street."
It is a waste, he said, to pro-
duce what we can't use or don't
need.
Suggests' Solutions
The speaker went on of suggest
several solutions that the Federa-
tion might well consider — parity
price, 'production control, govern-
ment-guaranteed floor prices at a
low non-incentive level, a produc-
er marketing board (provincial
and Dominion), getting the best
deal under supply and demand,
pool prices' through a bargaining
agency, set its own floor price
with a marketing boat' prepared
to buy up its own surplus, put a
levy on all producers, or tariff pro-
tection.
He suggested finding new uses
for farm products, and the' explor-
ation of new products as a way to
use up surpluses. He also said
that we need more people.
Introduced by Alex McGregor
the speaker was thanked by Glen
Safe Driving
Gordon Grieg, Huron county
fieldman, stated that the Federa-
tion. will support the government
in its safe-driving campaign this
month, and told of the essay con-
test in this regard open to Junior

bers. A county night is being ar-

At 99, Mrs. Grace Straughan,
still adheres to her theory that one
should always! keep busy, Recen-
tly she celebrated her birthday at
the home of her son-in-law and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Howard
Sturdy, Goderich• Township,
Because she has led such an
active life, Mrs. Straughan feels
she has never let her mind grow
old. The daughter of pioneers in
Colborne Township, she recalls
the busy life led by her parents,
the late Mr. and Mrs. William
Watt, who came to Canada from
Scotland in the last century. Mr.
Watt had been a shepherd in
Scotland.
Mrs. Straughan told of the long
hours of work she experienced
helping her family "work the
farm," which, her father had
cleared near Saitford. As a child
she attended what she terms, "a
common school," as compared to
"the fixed-up schools of today,"
At the age of '22, she married
William Struaghan, also of Col-
borne Towreship, at the Knox
Presbyterian manse in Goderich.
