FACTS ON THE ONTARIO • FARM Did You Rnow? There were 121,338 farms' in Ontario in 1961,, 14 percent less than in 1956. The average Ontario farm is 153 acres, 12 more than in 1956. More 'than 90 percent of our Ontario' farms' are owner-oper- ated. Nearly one-third of the dollar value of Canadian farm produce is marketed from Ontario farms. Today's Ontario farmer pro- vides food and fibre for 28 per- sons. In 1960 only 11.3 percent of Canada's labour force were farmers. In the 20 years from 1940 to 1960 the gross value of output per farmer has increa.secl from $736 to $4,695. The farmer is the No, 1 mar- ket for manufactured items from many of our factories. As consumer`; in 1961, flamers in Ontario spent more than $47 million on tractors, over $27 million on trucks, in excess of $22 million on automobiles, well over $7 million on electric pow- er, They provide a market for a large portion of the produc- tion of rubber tires, steel; ahem- leak, petroleum products, ap- pliances, etc. Farm 'business keeps many factories, running, thousands of people ,empIoyed. lIevvs Notes: Harvesting of the winter wheat crop in On- tario is now 'general.
