The census enumerator is duty-
bound to obtain' a report about
every farm 'in Canada, and each
farmer is asked to co-operate by
being prepared to give him as ac-
curate a statement as possible.
Enumerators are pledged to keep
all information given them confi-
dential, as are also all employees
of the Bureau, of Statistics. The
law provides penalties, for any
violation of this', pledge.
Further, the Bureau of Statis-
tics may not divulge the business
of an individual to any govern-
ment department nor to anyone
outside the government.
Every farmer may thus feel, as-
sured that the information he gives
about this farm will not become
known to any person except those
who handle the census schedules
in the course of their official dut-
ies, and that it will only be used
in statistical compilation where
its identity entirely disappears.

the USA, he said, $0 percent par-

cents each a year.
Another argument against parity
prices, said Mr. Miller, is surpluses,
He said that in the USA during the
Korean war, a campaign with high,
er Prices encouraged` high prices.
As long as prices were up, then
there was little surplus, but when
Prices went down, then there were
surpluses. "Farmers have to pro-
duce twice as much now to make
as much money as' they got then.
That creates surpluses," said Mr,
Miller.
"I believe," he went one "that

Miller 'mentioned the OFU pol-
icy of doubling the bonus on top
grade hogs, He said that the prin-
ciple of the Hog Producers Mark-
eting Board was sound, but he felt'
it should be run democratically,
and that he felt a change of per-
sonnel at, the •top might be advan-
tageous, He said that a petition
for members had been circulated,
that he had signed it and hoped all
his listeners had signed it, too.
"'But, I would suggest that you
come( to meetings of the Hog pro-
ducers' Association and see who
your representatives are and see
that those who act as your rep-
resentatives are the right men' for
the job," said Mr. Miller.
"Our program in the OFU is
sound. No one can argue it down.
Now 'it needs implementing. It
demands a sacrifice on your part,
to continue to canvass for active
participation. The OFU is estab-
lis led province-wide. Our objec •
tive is 51 percent of farmers of
Canada as members.
"Everyone else has organization
for the purpose of setting a price
on their product, They're net
smarter than farmers: The farm-
er is the victim of a propaganda
machine, but many who talk
against unions are really in favour
of them."
Mentioning one instance of
strange behaviour in the pattern
of trade, Miller said that last year
148,000 pounds of poultry products
had- been exported from Canada,
but 15,1.88,000 pounds had been im-
ported.
Though this had the effect of
lowering the farmer's income, he
predicted that such would contin-
ue, since in order to find export
market for manufactured produces,
industry had to arrange for import
of agricultural products (even
though it curtailed the local mar-
ket for Canadian farmers) in or-
der to maintain balance of trade
and ,get rid of their products over-
seas. The farmer, being unorgan-
ized, had not the power to get the
protection necessary to his own
product.

A resolution recently introduced,
in the Ontario Legislature by R.
Gibsen, COF member for Went-
worth East, calling for the affix-
ing of a union label on an print-
Mg ordered by • the Provincial
.Government, received no support in
the House and an. Amended resolu-
tion, introduced by Premier Leslie
Frost, wa.s• agreed to in its place,
Premier Frost, speaking on the
original motion, pointed out that
there are• other printing shops be-
sides those located in the big citiee
and. that there are many and par ,
led conditions In Outside areas.
"May I point out to the hole
member that one of the very valu-
able assents we have in Ontario is
one which sometimes' does not re-
ceive due recognition and apprec-
iation, that is, the weekly press, or
the provincial,shop," Mr. Frost de ,
_Oared, "All those communities,
large and small, in Ontario, have
their weekly newpapers, with 30
printing establishments and places
where work is done, and 1 may
frankly -say that it has been our
effort, and I think that of other
governments which have gone be-
fore us, to give a fair share of
business to the provincial shops,
and the provincial papers.
"I am sure the hon. member will
realize that his resolution, at the
stroke of a pen, rules out all these
shops in the province, and would
deal a very heavy blow, indeed, to
the weekly press of Ontario, which
gives good service to our people,"
Liberals Agree
Other members concurred with
Premier Frost in his defence of
the provincial printing shop.
Speaking on the resolution; Harry
C, Nixon, Liberal member for
Brant, said, Whey could not even
print voter's, lists for the election,"
Ross. Wither, Liberal member for
Bruce said, "I wish to -say that in
my riding, there are eight weekly
papers, none of theme are union
and none of them want aunion
either, they are very, very happy
in . the way in which they are

Beginning on June 1, a census en-
umerator will visit each of the
628,000 farms in Canada to obtain
answers to a series of questions
about the farm. 'The last census
of agriculture for all Canada was
taken in 1951 and for the Prairie
Provinces alone in 1946. Many
farmers will therefore have had
previous experience in answering
questions on t h e agricultural
schedule, but for some it will be
the first experience.
The schedule for 1956 has. been
shortened to abyut one-third the
nelmber of quotations in 1951. Most
of the -questions. are straighfor-
ward, such as' acres devoted to
crops, number of livestock on
farms, and inventories of equip-
ment. Some will require estimates
by the farmer if no records• are
kept. Such questions are: produc-
tion and sale of milk and eggs dur-
ing the month of May, expenditur-,
were decreasing and their chance
of influence was slim, "Though
we are told the farmers make up
only 1'5 percent of the total popu-
lation of Canada," he said, "over
60 percent of the seats in the
House are controlled by the farm
vote. bon't forget that."
He suggested that part of every
meeting be set aside' to discuss
and to formulate suggestions. "Get
your member to appear at your
meetingse' he said. "He's your
the local member in parliament;
to discuss the reports in Hansard;
member. You elected him. He is
responsible to you."
"We have asked for two years
in the Ontario House that farm-
ers paying half mill in taxes to a
farm organization, be permitted
to direct that money to whichever
organization they wished." said Mr.
Miller.
He said that "I don't think you'll
get anywhere with the Federation
of Agriculture under the present
set-up. It can't work. The F of
A is being run from the top down,
The top creates the policy. Their
speakers come out here and edu-
cate you to accept the govern-
ment's policy.
"My personal policy is not to
support the Stine Set-Aside. It
merely means that I would be sup-
porting the sale of New Zealand
cheese or something_.else from
another country. If we had a sur ,
pins and protection, then it would
make sense,"
