BY J. -CAR L HEMINGWAY In earlier dayS °rale atomic bomb we heard a good deal about the dangers of a "chain re-action". The scientists moved from the atom bomb to the hydrogen bomb and since there is .a good deal of hydrogen in the atmosphere it seemed that there was a possibility that a large hydrogen bomb explosion could start a chain of explosions of the hydrogen atoms in the atmosphere that would encircle the earth and destroy it. I beard a rumour that the scientists that set off the first hydrogen bomb got a real thrill for a few anxious moments. Seems to me that there are some "thrills" in store for a good many farriers now that Bill C-176 has been passed. In my mind there was no need for the supporters of the bill to worry about exclusions. The poultry producers were in favour of the bill with powers of supply management. Therefore, the supporters of the Bill in other lines of Agriculture should have thrown their fullstrength, along with poultry producers, into making very sure that producers have full control of application of regulations of the Bill, There will be a chain re-action, All that the producers of other products need is patience and fortitude. As soon as supply management is applied to poultry production across Canada a certain percentage of producers who grow their own grain are going' to find that they have feed left over since their poultry production is reduced. How can they get some return on this grain easier than to put it into hogs? In self-defense the hog producers will have to go to supply management. Now we increase corn acreages and hit a good year. Poultry AND hog producers have a surplus of feed grain. Let's feed a few cattle! The cattle aren't available? But they are if you already have a reasonably good income from your quota production. I see a lot of cattle going to the packers at under 1100 pounds. Most of these could stand another 150 lbs. It won't be really profitable but remember the quota producers of poultry and hogs have made a decent income and the extra buck from cattle is gravy. So the Beef Producers go to supply management. Now we have surplus feed grain from a few poultry producers and a large nut'nber of pork and beef producers so it goes on the grain market and grain growers go to quota. Now the non-farm consumers are in a real bind, As a farmer who has made it a practice to grow as much as I can and to feed all I grow I wouldn't have too much difficulty in keeping my livestock production close to constant. I've done it for years as far as hay is concerned. I won't complain if I have to plan on having considerable grain left over at the end of the year most of the time. However, it will be very necessary that a reasonable price for quota production gives the average farmer a comparable income to those engaged in other lines of work. If this Bill C-176 gives the control of marketing and imports to producers to the extent that is implied, a greater share of the non-farmer consumers' income will have to go for the purchase of food. It was quite interesting to hear the Consumer Association protesting Bill C-176 on this point. Why? Rent has gone up from 20 per cent to 30 per cent of the consumer income in the last 10 years or so. People complain about the price of beef which gives the same return to the farrier as it did in the '49 to '52 period while taking home about double the pay cheque. How many urban consumers don't hesitate to put four or five hundred dollars extra into a T.V. just to get colour? Yet theSe same people insist that the farmer shouldn't get anymore than the 3.15 cents for the wheat in the 30 cent loaf of bread that he got 20 years ago from a 15 cent loaf, It remains to be seen whether Bill C-176 will do anything to improve the lot of the farmer. I don't know whether I shotild be glad I'm nearing retirement or to be sorry I'm not just beginning farming. The next few years are going to be interesting.
