No. 12, Hay. In answer to the first question, "What are the most important problems that you face in making these changes?” the forum mem- bers reported:"We do not agree. with the Gordon report ato larger farms, but if the report is correct then our chief problem will be, the high cost of purchas- ing larger machinery and equip- ment, also the cast of labor." In answer to the second ques- tion: "How should this problem be met?" the . members agreed that these problems cannot be. met by the average farmer in the Province of Ontario, but the farmer would be wise- to educate himselff and be prepared to face any changes. Business manage- ment would also ,help. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Meaner will be hosts next week, with Aaron Oestricher leading the discussion.
