The dance was the first to be held on the new polished-concrete floor of the Benefits And The rapid the Ontario economy is bringing both benefits and problems to Ontario farmers, said Mr, Car­ roll, who was the principal speaker of the afternoon. Farm­ ers now account for only 14 per cent of Ontario’s population, he said, and the time appears not far distant when farm people will be only 10 per cent of Ontario's population. “This industrialization is bring­ ing markets—and we need them, —but it is also intensifying the competition for farm labor,” said Mr. Carroll. An 'organization like the Fede­ ration of Agriculture, which can speak for farmers, is going to be all the more necessary as farmers get to be a smaller segment of the population, Mr. Carroll said. “If only one in 10 is on the farm, then agriculture is going to need friends among the other nine," he said. "And, you don’t make friends by making faces." A strong Federation of Agricul­ ture is going to be needed in Ontario, he continued, .to provide a good public relations service for agriculture in its dealings the urban people. British Conditions The problem of .farm shortage, which is becoming evident in Ontario, is also to be found in Great Britain, where the circumstances are quite dif­ ferent, Mr. Carroll said.

In England, he said, it would be normal, in a group of 10 men engaged in agriculture, to find that two or three were working their own small farms, one was a farm manager, and the remain­ ing six or seven were hired men. “They have a farm labor class: we don’t," said Mr. Carroll. "Their farm laborers have short hours, they have pay that they consider good, they have cot­ tages, they have friends in the same class as themselves." The other conspicuous differ­ ence between farm problems in Ontario and in Britain, he is that the British farmer he has a home market for thing he can produce, Canada normally has agricultur­ al surpluses, which, to be sold, must find markets abroad. Dr. E. A. McMaster, mayor of Seaforth, extended a civic wel­ come to the Federation officers and to those attending the field day. R. S. McKercher, president of the Huron Federation of Agri­ culture, said that the Federation workers particularly appreciated the support of those farmers who had let their haying problems stand unsolved for a day, to at­ tend the field day. "We know that many people who are here have hay at home, and like to be at it,” he said. "It seems too bad," said Montgomery, agricultural sentative for Huron, “that we have to hold a picnic to get good weather for haying." Mr. Montgomery drew the at­ tention of those field day to the plots set out and nearby Seaforth property. added, knows every- while would G.
