Speaks at Farm Union Loyal
Lively and spirited debate tot-
longed a most interesting speech of
Douglas H, Miles, Huron agricul-
tural representative, when he ad-
dressed the regular monthly meet-
ing of the Holrneaville Local. Farm
Union. Over 20 members were in
attendance.
M. Miles talked an general pro-
blems facing Canadian farmers,
showing how the trend in farming
in 'the 1940's was to production; to
mechanization in the 1950's while
the trend lay to marketing in" the
1,960's.
Mr. Miles also gave some of the
hi-lites of a recent trip to Indiana
where share cropping and contract
farming were the modern agricul-
ture methods.
"The two main problems exis-
ting toclay,",the speaker went on
to say, "are vertiealintegration or
contract farming, and marketing
agriculture products." Mr. Miles
franklY discuss his views in con-
tract farming, warning farmers he
wouldn't go so 'far as to say that
the present system of marketing
agriculture products was perfect
but some type of marketing is cer-
tainly necessary and farmers will
have to give and take a little until
the right solution is found.
Mr, Miles commended the Farm
ers Union in its education of the
farmers and said, "that too many
people itch for what they want but
don't scratch for it."
Bob Stirling read excerpts from
Hansard concerning agriculture
bringing the members up to date
on the agricultural discussions in
parliament.
Robert Taylor, County Director
of the Farm Union announced the.
new date for the Ontario wheat
vote, January 17. Mr. Taylor
stressed an importnat point that
any producer plans such as a
Wheat Board should be set up by
a specially appointed group of the
producers themselves instead of a
farm organization, so, that there
would be keener interest taken by
the producers of that product.
