EVIL PREVAILS WHEN GOOD MEN DO NOTHING

"Western I-log Growers oppose subsidy."
This was the heading over an article reporting a meeting of the.
Western Hog Growers, Assoc. where they voted against ' 'any type of
price subsidy", What do these "Hog Growers want"?
Do they wanta continuation of "subsidies" in the form of grants to
farmers to build hog barns, more farrowing barns"? These grants are
extremely unfair since they give one farmer a big advantage over
another farmer. I has also been responsible for much of ,the over-
prOduction that has plagued hog producers for much of 1971 and will
likely be responsible for lower prices before 1972 ends. If we wish to
look at the egg besiness lam convinced that it was largely this type of
government subsidy that ruined the laying flock on the family farm in
the Maritimes and eventually has almost forced the elimination of
poultry production on the East coast.
This re-action of the Western Hog Growers must be most frustrating
to the Federal Minister of Agricelture who tried so hard to sew up the
Western Farm vote by pegging the price of wheat used by Canadians for
human consumption at $3.00 per bushel, Since farmers are forced to
purchase their supplies from a protected market it seems only fair that
they should get a comparable price for that portion of their production
that is used at home. In this case it sounds like a wonderful increase but
it doesn't add up to so much on the farmer's wheat production. Less
thane tenth of Western Canada's wheat production is used for human
consumption so the increase to the farmer is probably less than $3,00
per acre.
This type of subsidy has the added benefit in that it discourages
unreasonable over-production, It will give the farmer a good income on
a comparatively small productionand he knows that the more he over
produces the lower his average price, If this subsidy is administered in
such a way that each farmer gets an equal share of the domestic market
it will do wonders in retaining the family farm and prevent the take over
of food production by huge corporations.
It is my belief that, if Canadians wish security in their food supply at
a fair price they had better give strong support to the "wheat" type of
subsidy. Farmers should have a fair price for their product but they
shouldn't be penalized for producing a surplus too severely, as in the
past.
I'm still strongly opposed to the subsidization of the "cow-calf herd"
as proposed by the Ontario Government because it gives one producer
an unfair advantage over another and can only lead to over-production
at the expense of all producers. I am not happy that we are net
importers on beef. I don't think I would be unreasonable if I asked the
Government to subsidize the price of cattle used for domestic
consumption to the point that my selling price equalled the cost of
imports from United States. Under these circumstances I feel quite
sure that beef farmers would produce more than we use in Canada.
Further it would have a built-in production control without a
beaurocracy of civil servants to administrate it.
What farmers need is an increase in price of their product in a fair
relationshipto the increase that has taken place at the retail level, to
give them an increase in income comparable to the increase that has
taken place in the income of those in other sectors of our economy. The
Government could then forget about discrimnatory grants that have
been largely responsible for the creation of the farmer's problem in
the first place.

TREES NEED'A DRINK
Exposure to the elements —
and not salt or exhausts — is the
most likely cause of damage to
roadside trees, according to a
plant pathologist who has just
completed a six-year study. Dr.
Walter Banfield of the University
of Massachusetts says the "total
environment of the tree" is the
culprit.
Factors such as high
temperature, compacted earth,
high air flow and minimum
protection from sunlight add up to
high moisture loss, Banfield
says. Roadside trees lose nearly
three times as much water as
those in the forest and literally
thirst to death, he reports.
