The consensus of the Elimville Farm Forum, meeting at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Lorne El- ford, was that farm price support should be designed to protect the farmer against disastrous drops in prices but not high -enough to encouarge increased production. They did not think the support prices in Canada should be higher than prices in available expert markets and they felt they need- ed the same protection thatathe manufacturers receive. The aro; rum will meet next week at the home of Mr. and 1V,trs, Howard Johns. Delbert Geiger was the speaker at the Unique Farm Forum, meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Bert. Klopp. The members were in favor of Price supports because they felt they do not‘guarantee profitable trrices but insure a minimum of security for the -farmers. They thought that, in Canada, prim should be set 'higher than the available export prices. Some felt that an effective Price support program could be used without increasing barriers to international trade — others thought that was impossible.

Mr .and Mrs, Itilton../'reumner will' be at home to the -next forum meeting. • The discussion •at the Parr Line Farm Forum at the tome of Mr. Wilfred Mousseau was led by Mr. John Soldan. While the merits of price sup- ports were realized as to the good they had done in the past no one disputed that there should not be a system whereby the farmer will be able -to operate) at a profit. This forum -thinks that if price supports 'Were set at a cost plus basis, our .Canadian Prices would still be too high for the available export markets. Some members thought that Price supports may lead to the same situation which exists in Copy 7 .
