The stage was in Christmas de- corations with a Christmas tree shining splendidly. Santa Claus arrived in a most relaxed and jolly mood after the rush of the previous week. The children all received a present from the 'Sun- day School and candy and oranges from Trinity Church Guild: Mem- bers of the Guild served chocolate milk to the children, tea to the adults with a bountiful lunch. There was a good attendance, in- cluding a former rector, the Rev. H. J. E, Webb and family, Port Dover. Of course You must work hard-, er, for longer hours and less mon- ey than anyone else or they (the feed company) will Set up their own farms and hire the necessary labour to operate them. Rather a grim outlook you say, well you haven't heard the worst yet. A large feed company in To- ronto has completely integrated "broilers". They control the hat- chery,, at present, production• is contracted among farmers. (This can be changed if it • becomes cheaper to set up their own build- ings and hire labour) and they manufacture feed, Two proceSsing plants in Toronto are under their thumb, their restaurants in both Toronto and Montreal, serve only. chicken, This writer visited one of the restaurants in Toronto. In addition to a dining room there is home delivery of cooked chicken, seven• cars are in• continuous de- livery operation. Peak production of 2,Q0C1 hirds per day is reached, only on Friday, Saturday,,and Bun-. day, with• a weekly average for this one establishment of. 9,000 birds, Continuing development of this sort of thing leaves the farm- er with absolutely no °bargaining power, a serf, dependent entirely on his master's whim and 'fancy. U.C.O. has recently announced the ..purchase of a processing plant at Petersburg and intends toeset up their own chicken houses if difficulty is experienced in seeer- ing 'sufficient quantities of birds to keep the new plant operating efficiently. Is this then to be the agricul- ture of to-morrow? Will the farm- er be happy as a cog in this wheel? Or does it really matter whether he is happy? Perhaps he should be content to fly into or- bit when the master switch is thrown, toproduce food to make a profit for someone else. For there will 'be a profit, you know, at least for those who process the produce of our land. Can you agree that this type. of agriculture would be good for Canada? Should the people be controlled to suit financial inter- ests? Or should financial interests be controlled to suit the people? ,The questions posed in these paragraphs are ones you will be called upon to decide in 1960. Your answer will be considered not by what you think or say, hut rather what you do. If you are not disturbed by a re- turn to the feudal system, you may continue to sit by the fire and "let George do it". On the other hand should you believe that people, rather than money should control Canada, if you be- lieve the family type farm is worth saving, if you agree that our agricultural problem is one of poor prices, rather than lack of efficiency, the time has come for you to join the fight. Speak your thoughts, get active in your Farm Union, support your local officials, work in your commodity groups toward a sound program. But most of all it's actions that count, remember "the road to Hades is paved with good intentions." Anyone who attended the mar- keting and Co-Operation confer- ence at 0,A.c„ Guelph, Decentber 28-31, could not help .bur come a- way convinced that the average farmer of today is doomed. Pap- ors presented by economists, as well as views and opinions expres- sed by delegatee. from 0.,F.A, and U,C.0„ expounded the theory that farm people In search of better incomes should look only to great- er efficiency, Learn to produce more, cheaper, buy your neigh- bours farm, adif it to your own, operate with your present equip- merit and labour force, cut costs, grow heavier yields, -breed better livestock, - use improved manage, merit practices, these are the solu- tions offered to the cost price squeeze, These are the things you, must ecceimpliSh if you hope to continue to own your own farm. In addition, you can e4pect to de- pend..on . one of the field .comp- anies, U.-C.Q, included, for a con- tract which. will allow you to stay in business.
