J* Silver Crest Poultry FarmV, Roy from 1931 to 1941 inclusive were nil. Ih fact, they were a very mipus quantity, Farmers’ returns op their investment for the years 1941 to 1947 inclusive were plus, with the exception of one year—-1945. The average turp for the six years was per cent. Returns on investment of food companies in Canada for_ the .years from 1931 to 1947 were plus. The calculation of returns on investment were made on sub­ stantially the safe ibasis in both cases. In the case of the farmers’ ret u’r n s, the calculation was made on the basis of the esti­ mated capital investment in the farms. The pet farm income was used, together with 'the number of farm operators according to the dominion ’bureau's' estimate for the year concerned. In the Federation’s calculation, a yearly wage rate was allowed for far­ mers equal to the wage rate pre­ vailing for the particular year in all industry in Canada. On this ‘basis the total wage bill was then deducted from the net farm income, and the return on capi­ tal calculated accordingly. In the case of the forty-six food companies the calculation was made on the basis of the net worth of the business, the net profit before taxes were paid but after wages and salaries were paid, then the net profit after taxes were paid, and from that was calculated the percent­ age of return on net capital. As an example: • In 1937 the total estimated capital investment in farms was $4,712,000,000, and the net farm income for that year was $503,- 000,000. The total1' number of farm operators was 711,000. The allowance for farm wages was $965, which was the average for industrial wages in that year, which made a total estimated farm wage bill of $686,000,000. The next income after that allowance was deducted was then minus $183,000,000, making the net return on capital minus 3.9 per cent. In the same year, the total net worth of forty-six food com­ panies in Canada was $119.3 millions. The net profit • after wages and salaries had been de­ ducted was 8.4 per cent and af­ ter taxes had been deducted was 6.3 per cent. In the years from 1931 1936 inclusive the percentage return on capital for farms Canada was as follows: 1931 ........... minus 1932 ........... minus 1933 ........... minus 1934 ............ minus 1935 ...... minus 1936 ........... minus The comparison maining years between centage return for farms and that for the forty-six food com­ panies was as follows, according to the above calculations: I’erc’tage Return On Farms , minus 3.9 % , minus 5.4% minus 3.2% . minus . minus .... plus .... plus .... plus . minus .... plus by W. History was made in Huron County last week, when milk producers representing all sec­ tions of the county, met in the Agricultural Board Room, Clin­ ton, to discuss the whole milk Situation, Hugh Hill of Coiborne Town­ ship was chosen chairmen of over sixty producers and Barry Walter of Goderich acted as sec­ retary, Mr, Hill, after explaining briefly the purpose of calling the meeting, called on Doug Cousins, fieldman of the Ontario Milk Producers' League, the advantages of county organization. After listening to . _ J____ discussing the proposals and pre­ sent county situation, a motion introduced by George Feagan of Goderich to form a county or­ ganization was passed unani­ mously, with the following board elected to represent the interests of each centre: Goderich, Hugh Hill; Clinton, Andrew Desek; Wingham, George Terbert; Sea­ forth, Pete Simpson; Exeter, Gerald Godbolt; Hensall, Oliver Rowclifl’e; Zurich, William Dec­ ker; Brussels, Ross Cardiff; and Blyth, to be named.

Dominion Marketing Act Introduced by Minister of Ag­ riculture Gardiner, a new domi­ nion marketing act is now before the -House of Commons at Ot­ tawa. It is not the complete fed­ eral marketing legislature which has been asked for by the Cana­ dian Federation of Agriculture for a number of years passed. However, the new act, a short one of four sections, will give the provincial producers market­ ing boards which may now exist or may be brought into opera­ tion in the future under market­ ing acts of the several provinces. This will make it possible for provincial marketing boards operating under provinrial acts, to extend their operations to fol­ low through the marketing of their products into the inter­ provincial and export field. Farmers’ Returns On Investment Which group has the greater return on investment—farmers, who produce the food of the people, or those who are engaged in the business of processing and distributing that food? The answer to that question furnishes a striking comparison. It is found in the records of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, from which a statement has been compiled by Dr. E. C. Hope, economist of the Canadian Fed­ eration of Agriculture.
