Not long ago I happened to be discussing the economic position of the farmer with a bank manager-friend and he made the statement: "Government grants seldom bring the results the government forecasts". If we look at the results of the grants and tax reduction incentives given to big business to reduce unemployment and reduce prices and thereby control inflation, my friend seems to be correct. The result of the above grants, according to recent statistics, have brought no reduction in unemployment, but have brought higher profits and in- creasedprices. What about grants and other "favours" to farmers? In the past 15 years the farmer has been blessed (or otherwise) with a maze of grants and incentives that were supposed to make the lot of the farmer better and keep the farmer's son "down on the farm". The result, according to the candidates in our riding, has been so successful in keeping the "son down on the farm" that he has left to the point that the average age of the farmer in our area has reached an all time high of 57. The NDP candidate, though not too familiar with the farm problem, suggested that since food is just as important to the poor as to the rich, it is necessary that food should be a reasonable price. If this doesn't provide a comparable income to farmers and sufficient incentive to keep enough of our young people on the farm, then direct subsidy should be paid to the farmers. While farmers don't favour government subsidies it at least is fair to all farmers. The other candidates, though farmers, could only offer more of what we have been getting which has been unsuccessful in obtaining the results that were supposedly desired. Surely there must be something better than what we have had in the past! Why don't our boys stay on the farm? The large amount of money needed to get started isn't available? Nonsense! There is plenty of money as is proven by the ease with which government and industry can obtain loans. There is too much risk? What risk? The young farmer won't be able to repay the loan. But Why - simply because the price of the farm product has failed to increase at the same pace as the price of the farm production im- puts, machinery, fuels, fertilizer, repairs, etc. The answer is simple. Just as soon as government is willing to allow farm prices to rise to a comparable level with the other sectors of our economy, we will have plenty of farmers and plenty of food. It might even lead to an eight-hour day "down on the farm". otigafftagalifteWn" CLINTON ill 4-H The Clinton HI 4-H Homemaking Club has held three meetings so far in their new project the Third Meal, The meetings were all held at the home of Mrs. Divok.
