Merrill) The SS 4, Goderich Township Farm Forum met this week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Lobb, with nine members present. The topic for discussion was, "Ad- justment, through Price Support Policies". Question one was: "Can price support programs be used to con- trol production to fit the market and at the same time maintain adequate income levels?" The members think, if they are going to have a price that will control production, that the price support would be rather low, ,and would not •be of much assistance to the farmer. Question two: "Is there any al- ternative to government control of farm prices under surplus condi- tions?' The members feel that more assistance in marketing by paying freight, etc., and if neces- sary, sending the product free to countries that are in need. Question three: "Should price supports be used to slow down the economic pressure tending to fewer farms?" It was agreed that price supports should be used, these being of assistance to the smaller farm owners. There was a short recreation period, ,,followed by lunch.

A special effort will be made to canvas for new membership this week, Bob Taylor and County directors of the Farmers Union, Mrs. George Clifton, Brucefield; Frank Nesbitt, Auburn, gave their reports on the marketing and co- op conference held in Guelph the latter part of December, which they attended as delegates. In each of. their reports, the trend of feeling was quite evident that co-ops and marketing schemes of today do not give much thought or -consideration for the smell. or family type farmer. There again the Farmer's Union slogan "Uni- ted we stand, divided we fall' should' be brought to each indiv- ideal farmers attention. He should be made to realize how important he would be to the organization as well as his own 'welfare: President John Semple intro- duced the speaker of the evening, Mel Telsbiret, Grey, County, and organizer for _Fanners Union Mr. Tebbutt spoke. on many _ problems of farmers today and' mainly on the way farmers union would to see deficiency payments implee mented. As they now stand they are of little or no Valtle to the farmer and until, all agriculture prncluCts are brought in the plan with a base price set at Parity level, along with, a unit system for controlling production, work- ed out ,things will remain as they- are. The present method of set- ting the base price at 80 percent of a ten year average could only- mean in a very few years that the base price would be little or noth- ing with farm prices falling as they are. A hearty vote of thanks •was given Mr. Tehbutt for explaining and answering so many questions. The meeting closed with the lad- ies serving lunch.
