By and large, Ontario farmers find themselves in a rather fortunate position regarding major preventable ‘disasters. Huron County, farmers are en gage! in mixed farming and dis aster affecting one specific line does not necessarily mean econ omic ruin. At one time ox* another certain sections have been visited by wind, hail or flood, the first usually being covered by insurance. Damage by flood,hail or frost and drou ghts usually met by the farmer to the best of his individual ability. In attending the Ontario Fed eration Annual meeting, one could not help but be impressed by, the evident value of organ ization and the important part the Federation plays in co ordinating the efforts of organ ized agriculture. The County Federation has moved its office to: Clinton, Rattenbury St., West, P.O. Box 310, Phone 324J. Some County farmers are taking advantage of the service provided by this office in secur ing farm help. The Federation is working in close co-operation with the Colonization andAgri- cultural Branch of Canadian Railways. Those wishing to secure help in the spring, should apply without delay. The Annual Meeting of Huron County Hog Producers is being held in Clinton, on Wednesday January 19th, at 2 p.m. In a statement issued January 7, the Canadian Federation clarified its-% position respecting the sale of oleomargarine, which commenced in Canada that week I The statement declared that since the federal government announced mr »>G$?cision respect ing an appeal"’ to the privy council against the judgement of the supreme.’court of Canada the Federation itself had not made a decision whether to app eal. “We made it clear’ when the supreme court decision was announced,’’ said Mr. Hannam, federation president, “that if the federal government did not ’ appeal, we would consider doing ’ so. “We felt that since the legis- ' lation had been' federal legislat ion and had been in effect a long time, and since the judg ment of the supreme court of Canada was far from unan imous, it was the duty of the federal government to appeal it. This has been done in the past in cases where the opinions of the learned judges were so seriously divided. “Since the federation annual meeting is to be held, the latter part of this month at Saskatoon, and since it has not been poss ible in the meantime for the federation’s directors to meet whatever action is to taken Will be decided at Saskatoon. “We will then decide between two courses: either to appeal the .supreme court decision, or if not, then to advocate a pro gram of adequate safeguards for the dairy industry In the light of the public sale of margarine. “Resolutions, letters and tele grams coming to us from- all parts of Canada, together with the’ action taken at the annual meeting of the Ontario federa tion, indicate that features of such would undoubtedly “A satisfactory Duke St., Toronto, information contact Secretary. forums reported non- Most __ - - - Kj S.

Hannam, Pres ident of the Canadian Federat ion of Agriculture ress before ion of the in Toronto, That was port which mission brought back Food and Agriculture organiz ation of the United Nations, When It was appointed to study the problem, said Mr,. Hannam. 'Some 57 nations endorsed the form ag- the in an add- the annual convent- Ontario Federation January 5. the unanimous re ap. 18-natIon- com to the on Lay Delegates to Synod, R. Camoron Organist, W. Otter- Bion Janitor, A. L. Case, IL Middleton Auditor^. report, and the institution of commodity agreements between nations is now a main feature of FAO’s program. The Canadian Federation of Agriculture has been on record in favor of such a program, said Mr. Hannain, ever since the Federation was organized 1.3 years ago, and the International Federation of Agriculture has also endorsed the .program unanimously at each of its conferences. The Federationt’s support came through its advocacy of an international wheat agreement > which is the first step in inter national commodity . agreement and for nearly 20 years the Can adian government has participat ed in efforts to achieve such an agreement. Aftei’ discouraging set-backs, there now seems some hope of achieving the wheat agreement. A third conference is to be held in Washington, January, 25 ‘declared Mr. Hannam. Repre sentatives of the Canadian Fed eration. have been included md the Canadian delegations at pre vious Conferences, and will be at the forthcoming one. Objectives o f international commodity agreements declared Mr. Hannam, in his address at Toronto, were orderly sharing of the international market. Facilitating equitable distribut ion of food throughout the world and stabilizing prices in the interests of both producer and consumer, and in so doing eliminating unnecessary price fluctations, and often harmful manipulation of the market. Mr. Hannam dealt with some of the objections that are raised to such an international food program. He declared that there is scarcely such a thing ats an open market; most international trade is state trading or controlled trading. Opposition by those who to retain price fluctations speculation, said Mr. Hannamt was the best argument for the need of if ter national commodity agreement. Orderly sharing of a market could assure expanding product ion when the operations of a so-called free market could cause stagnation and compel producers to restrict production. Direct acreage control should not be necessary said Mt\; Hannam. Marketing quotas, a technique which worked in Wes tern Canada, provides a measure of indirect production control which is desirable, and bene ficial to all concerned. Stabilizing the wheat market would tend to stabilize coarse grains and in turn tend to stab ilize livestock prices, said Mr. Hannam, “Now is the time to try out this program, before a crisis arises.” declared Mr. Hannam, “We look to the forthcoming wheat conference to translate five years of theorizing about a new kind of world program, based oh international under standing, goodwill and co-opera tion, Into effective action in respect to one commodity, as the first logical step towards Implementing a program funda mental to the whole conception of the United Nations.” H state want and t ffl ENERGY — SHUR-GAIN Chick Starter is packed full of energy.
