V..Corinack, honorary ifresident of Ontario Farmers' Union, at an organiza•' tional meeting of Ontario Farm- ers' Union at Elimville Monday night. Mr. Cormack, speaking on "Farm Organizations," reviewed the history of former farm Or- ganizations seep as "The Grange," ""The Patrons of Indus try", The Farmers Association of Ontario," and "The United Farm- ers of Ontario and of Canada." The "Grange" was a• secret organization, which originated in the U.S.A. and came to Canada in 1874 and was the first farm or- ganization ever to bring farmers together. Its first interest .was that of the producing farmers -but later it established a farmers' fire insurance company and a• fainters co-op wholesale house in Toronto. It even started its own salt Company. "Later the interests of its lead- ers became intensified in the business end, and its original function,. the organizing of farm- ers and their interests' as pro- ducers, became secondary," said Mr. Cormack, "This eventually HENSALL SALE PRICES Prices at Hensel!

Joke's on you friend. 1 wasn't home last night!" led to disinterest and non- confi-dence of the fariners, and so this organization failed." The Patrons of Industry went into business but also formed a political party, not only which made very insignificant progress and it also failed to :uphold the farmer producer needs. The Fanners' Association, which lasted only five years, fin- ally amalgamated' with the rem- nants of the two former organs• zations and in 1914 that organize. tion became the "United Farm- ers of Ontario." The old U.F.O. also formed themselves into a political party, of swept into Queen's Park in g n Q 1919 and swept out again in 1923. When they lost the election they lost their farm organization and then the Ontario Govern- ment, in order to have a farm or- ganization through which they could reach the farmers, built the "Ontario Federation of Agri- culture," continued the speaker. Mr. Cormaek compared the p present day farm organizations. Ontario Federation of Agriculture is an organization of organiza- tions. When presenting a brief to Ontario members of the federal government recently, its officers stated, "Eighty-three affiliated organizations, 18 marketing boards representing 33 farm crops, constitute the membership of the Ontario Federation of Ag- riculture. "On the other hand the Ontario Farmers' Union is the only farm organization com- posed entirely of actual produc- ing farmers," said the speaker. He explained the utter impos- sibility of any farm organization speaking for producers on one side of a negotiating table and also for the processing interests 011 the other side. He used as a specific example, the case of the president of the Ontario cheese producers, Mr. Gilbert Arnold, and -zone director Alvin Rintoul, criticizing Mr, Cor- mack for attentiiting to procure a Eger price• for the producing farmer, on milk for processing.
