I happen to be the yOUTigeat

to be the youngest in the group.
Now 4.40, it a, little =iota to
realize when I attend MeetingS
or Seidel gatherings that I am no longer in the yetinger roue
but rather that the majority
are often mach yomger than. I.
I have heard that it is a sign
of age when a person remem-
bers incidents of his pre-teenA
period and quite often little,
stones and poems of the first,
aecend or third readers or 001-
den-Ru1e books come back to
me at opporittme times.
In an unguarded moment I
make 'reference to "The Crows
and the "The •Deg
and the Manger", or the "Tor-
toise and the Hare". I am greet-
ed with a blank stare. To my
chagrin I find I am old. The
people around me only remem-
ber Dielt and Jane or Mary,
John and Peter, 'Friends and
Neighbours, etc.
And then I am glad I am
old enough to have read the
old readers that probably didn't
teach reading as efficiently but
taught so much that was even
more important.
I have something Ito remem-
ber of my early school days.

those clays ,are amazed) and

eral countriea, making particu-
lar reference to Britain, All
these countries market a high
pereentage, if not all of their
agricultural products, through
marketing boards. •
These marketing boards are
made up of representatives of
fanners, processons, retailers;
consumers' ,and •government.
TheSe boards arrive at the mar-
ket price for the various coin-
Modities.
Alter 'starting these facts, Mr.
Perkins points -out that the far-
mers in Britain are much more
prosperous than Canadian far-
mers and concludes that Can-
adian farmers would do well to
adopt the same typb of mar-
keting board rather 'than the
farmers "controlled" (,?) Mar-

I'm afraid Mr. Perkins, like

At the 1964 OFA annual ban-
quet in the Royal York I had
the good fortune to sit beside
a young chap from England,
you may have read about him
in the Rural C&Operator; he
was visiting Canada on his way
to' Australia. Be is a farmer and
I questioned
He informed me that the
Market price of choice steers
and hogs were very similar to
that current 'in Canada. He also
told me that on his' father's
200 acre farm there are his
father and three hired men with
families, The farm was worth
about $100,000. They kept beef
cattle 'and hogs with a few hens.
I immediately inquired about
the wages and found they were
about the same as here.
"How 'in the world could a
fanner on 200 acres, worth
$100,000 support the owner and
three hired men? The answer
was quite simple!
The fanner sells at market
price but the government adds
a subsidy. The real result, to my
amazement, meant for practical
purposes that the British far-
mer gets pounds where
Canadian farmer gets
For ti choice $250 steer the
British fanner gets about $700;
for a $50 pig about $150. Mar-
