WindSOft The Federation of Agriculture in Usborne Township* which ’ was or ganized during the past spring, was given a fine boost to the fore on Wednesday evening of lust week when a large crowd of farm people gathered in the church shed at Elimville to hear addresses by Miss Agnes McPhail, for inany years member of the Federal House for Grey and V. $. Mellbura, secretary of the Ontario Federation of Agri culture, • » Miss McPhail's address, as is usu- ally the case* was full of humor and common sedse and especially ap propriate for a farm gathering. The main theme of her remarks was the necessity of organizing the far* mors of Canada for co-operative efforts in farming activity and farm- born business. In opening her re marks the speaker said that she was completely aware of the suffer ing of Canadian farmers during the past ten years. It is Miss McPhail’s belief that recovery from the de pression of recent years in the far ming industry is not yet complete and that it will' only be completed when, all the farmers of the Domin ion are united into one trong body. The first definite signs of the deep angei- that has seized Canadian far mers were seen shortly after the- outbreak of the .present war and were caused by the Government’s treatment of Labor. The speakei’ then related that in 1939, when all sensible people could, feel the im minent threat of war, the Federal Government had passed legislation to the effect that, in the event of hostilities, manufacturers engaged in war industries would be limited to an increase in profit of five per cent, only to find, when war orders actually had to be placed, that not one manufacturer in the Dominion would accept them under those con ditions. The resulting action on the part of the Government was to res cind that section of the act and give industry the assurance of pro fit which it desired, and at the same time, laborers were promised that wages would be equal, to those?. jf the 1926-29'"'level, or' higher.’ At this point, Miss McPhail believed, #the farmers really began to wake up and seek the organization and un ity necessary for action, and from that time forward the Federation has become important to the far mer. I 1.50, 242.39 1.90 8.76 1.50 ImisR Patricia russell a graduate of Exeter High School, who has been attending Westervelt School, London, during the past year, has accepted a position in the London office of the Household Fin ance Corporation. Miss Russell as* sumed her new duties on August 18. Her many friends will be pleas ed to know of her appointment. Tells of Co-operatives The speaker then told of an in tensely interesting trip through many states of the American Union, where she had spent the most of her time touring and studying the farmers’ co-operatives. Here she saw the power of the farmer demon strated in the great wholesale hous es, creameries and industries which. American Agriculture now controls. In some instances the farmers’' co operatives have even organized their own insurance companies with cov erages-of every variety. They have extended adult education so well that'- formers are well acquainted with their own and other people’s problems and deal with them in telligently. Miss McPhail recalled seeing' the°same things in Denmark and Sweden before the war? “This vast power,” she said, “has been built by the farmers of the con cessions and sideroads.” Speaking of the place of women in the Federation, she asked the men if they could for a moment im agine how the churches would car ry on Without the women. “Wo men,” she Said amid general laugh ter, “are so good at organizing, that they can keep organizations about nothing running.” She went on to stress the importance of the woman’s ability to get to the point/ of a discussion and arrive swiftly' at a decision, j the talk was continued __„ „ .. .__ ing that nothing can be donq^ith-. > . out the young people, for with theijif<^t^^ lies the future and the final solu tion of the problems that are MM* * j ours. “We never own the said Miss MePhaih “We are but the trustees of it, to be passed on in the best possible condition,” Turning to the financing of the Federation, the listeners were told that farmers have always lacked pride in their organizations. La borers are proud to pay a high fee to their labor union. Farmers should have no hesitation In paying the small fee required to support their Federation and the man who will not do so is indeed selfish, for all x will benefit from the advantages which a few have sacrificed to gain. Problem of Distribution At this point Miss McPhail inter* jected into her remarks a few litt- morous stories of her experiences on Parliament HUI before continu ing with a discussion of the broader phases of the agricultural problems.
