Hillcrest Farm Forum The members met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hod­ gins on Monday evening, March 10, with “Customers Abroad". One group answered the ques­ tion with Canada needs both the United Kingdom and United States markets and by buying­ goods from U.K. we help them and in so doing help ourselves for the trade comes hack to us for more wheat, flour, cheese and eggs. Trade is a two-lane highway and Canada must import as well as export, to many United States Kingdom. The Book” lists 36 wealth countries, besides the U.S.A, and the U.K., which buy goods. One way to keep things mov­ ing, one group suggested, was if the U.S. Congress would have the act modified so that it would only place embargoes on the province that was affected, as in the case of the foot-and- mouth epidemic, and maintain our trade relations with other provinces. When buying goods that are imported, compare value with our own Canadian product. Our flour goes to some 70 countries and wheat to some 30. Canada has agricultural com- m er cia 1 secretaries associated with the trade commissioners in five countries—Argentina, Aus­ tralia, France, United Kingdom and United States. Their job is to watch the marketing pros­ pects and try to develop trade in farm products. c Farmers can help to promote the export markets for farm products by trying to keep them from disease. Also promote trade agreements with the countries that buy our products.
