He has no valid reason to spend this great amount, it is ,lust money in the bank -all of it, What a laughl Little do these city cousins realize that If the farmer has a net incon?e of bet- ween 5 to 1O% of gross sales he is a evenmore n vefficient eat bu '.

We hear a lot of ballyhoo about 'agriculturg being the ,backbone of our eco. ee. etc. t' ngmy t t Let's take a look at some of the oddities .of trade permitted by the Government, In the March 2, 1957 issue of the Free Press wh.ieh carries Mr,, Harris' statement on page 1, we find on page 2, the following: 3,500,000 dozen Egos Imported. into Canada in 11 months' 2,896,- 514 imported o d ethe a �t 11 of in se which 2,540,976 came from the J.S.A.

Exports of shell eggs have lagged consider- ably behind last year,, As of February 9 reports amounted to 10,302' .cases compared with i 75,595 cases in the same period last year. Now there is an answer for Mr. Harris.

This I know is a pessimistic attitude but I think there is a cure. 'The most neglected ma- chine on the farm today is the marketing to machine, g aline, this is the farmers' greatest need. Consid- erable has been .done in this department as there. are '18 dif- ferent marketing schemes at work in Ontario. They are ,doing good work in their different fields but there is a great deal to be done yet. The cooperatives are develop- ing steadily. It might surprise you to know that United Co-ope- ratives is the second largest dealer in Canada. Local Co-op are doing' a much larger business in feed, fertilizer and eggs than we realize. The Clinton Credit Union has had the most rapid growth of any rural credit union an Ontario and now has assets totalling seine $285,000. All these successes have been accomplished by •people ,co-ope- rating to, gain the things they desired. Farmers can . co-ope- rate with each other to produce better crops and better livestock and also co-operate to market these products. These things gd hand-in-hand and can be accom- plished if we so desire -it is up to us.
