Hill, Varna, as the most ser- ious and most successful conven- tion he had ever witnessed, the eighth annual OFU convention, with 300 registered, concluded on Wednesday, Oct. 21.. 4d, Morden, Riverview, was elected vice-presi- dent, and; Frank Gamble, Chats- worth, second vice-presdent, Mrs. Merle Hopkins, Fenelon Falls, was re-elected women's president and Mrs. Elmo. Parker, Rose- neath, women's vice-president. Kenneth Marisett, Piston, was el- ected junior president. Results of some of the resolu- tions dealt with brought about some changes in Farm Union pol- icy. Foremost, was the stand tak- en in regard to the Ontario Hog Producers Marketing Board. While the convention upheld the princi- ple of producer controlled mark- eting boards and were satisfied with the work of some, a resolu- tion was passed expressing com- plete opposition to the present method of hog marketing and an early vote is to be requested. Op- position to the Ontario Hog Pro- ducers Marketing Board appears to be directed at the Board of directors who they feel are not concerned with the wishes of the producers. With the present set- up, when a vote is taken, farm- ers must vote either for the entire plan, or against it, and a resolu- tion was passed asking for legis- lation, that would give producers the power to vote out any undesir- able feature of a marketing plan. The principle of deficiency pay- ments was strongly upheld throughout the meeting although there was great dissatisfaction ex- pressed over the government's implementation, have present. The Farm Unions have never accepted the use of the ten-year average, in arriving at the support price, which completely ignores the cost of production. Also, the Union does not favour the limit put on each separate commodity but are working for a unit, system where- by a farmer, with specialized pro- duction, can obtain the maximum benefits allowed under the plan, even though he produces only one or two commodities, It was felt if all farm organiza- tions could work together to over- come these obstacles, a great ser- vice would be rendered farmers of Canada. A. first-hand description of the plight of western farmers, due to early snow. vas brought to the meeting by President Rudy Usick, Manitoba, who had spent most of the previous day getting through the snow banks into Winnipeg (a distance of some 100 miles) to get a 'plane to Toronto. He explained 50 inches of snow had alreadY fallen on parts of the province. Mr. Usick, although active in the Farm Union for ten years, is the youngest 'president of a pro- vincial farm organization. He told how prices have dropped during the past ten years and costs have spiralled. This cost-price squeeze has taken its toll of prairie far- mers. "Had we been receiving ade- quate grain' prices, this recent snow may not have bothered us too much, but the situation has sounded the death knell to many farmeds in Manitoba," Mr. Usick said. ."We find in Manitoba, too," he continued, "If a crop does not make enough in one year the far- mer tries to increase his efficiency and produce more the following year, thus creating surpluses and lowering prices even more." Mr, Usick said that it was es- sential that some new program be introduced to. keep the family farm alive. He suggested' that sup- port prices should be based on cost of production, and that there was a need for deficiency pay- ments. He continued by saying, "Farmers must have a strong bargaining power and this can be achieved through a strengthened Farm Union. You have the means by which you can correct this grim situation in agriculture. We'- ve got to get to the farmer before there is no farmer," Mrs. Beatrice Trew, president, Saskatchewan Women's Farm Un- ion, addressed the convention Wednesday afternoon. She said that it didn't matter much wheth- er men or women took office pro- viding they had the qualifications, respect and dignity to maintain the position. "Farm women are too well a- ware that there is not enough money left to support the family farm after expenses are paid," Mrs. Trew said. 'This• is why women in Saskatchewan took an active interest in the formation of farm policy. We realize, too, that it takes more than money to make the farm a good place where young people want to live, so we Farm Union women in Saskatche- wan concern ourselves with the arts, good literature, health, home economics, which all lead to grac- ious farm living," she said. She told of the cancer equipment they bought in 1957, the wing of a mental hospital they furnished in 1953, and the research program to •assist retarded children they are working on this year. Mrs. Trew told of attending the tri-ennial conference of the As- sociated County Women of the Word at Edinburgh, Scotland, as a representative of the Farm Union. Here she said, she met with 1,000 women from 30 different countries and how they endeavoured to work for the things that united them and forget about the things that separated them. She said at this meeting they concerned themselves with the two-thirds of mankind who are hungry, the poor, sick, illiterate and stateless. At present 300,000,- 000 people have malaria and 40,- 000,000, through no fault of their own, are stateless. Mrs. Trew concluded by telling of her visits to farms in the Brit- ish Isles and Germany. She told of one farm in England where three families were deriving an the PiONEER RA chain saw is good,„, BUT the all-new NEER GOV ETTER • Brilliant Pioneer engineering has produced a better saw for • the professional woodsman.

These people credit this to their Farm Union, whose membership is about 100 per cent, their mar- keting boards., co-ops, and defic- iency payments. She said that she returned to Canada convinced that if agriculture is going to get its rightful place here, we will have to work for it. Counter Check Books on Sale at the News-Record
