(Mr. Rill, of Varna, is presi-
eent 0 Ontario FarmersUnion.
Tills -Article is- reprinted from
the "Ontario 'Union Farmer,"
Sentereher issue.)
Many people ,connected with
Canadian agriculture policy in
past years have insisted. that
farmers should not expect sub
-
Sidles; from the Federal ,Govern -
meet.
Stich individuals go on that
this procedure is 'degrading"
and is actually a system of
'"handotits."
A beautiful case :had been
built up in this regard and until
recent years farmers in general
had accepted this fallaeY —
cepted it to the point where Ur-
eters and -farm organizations,had
failed. miserably to achieve a
fair measure of gov.ernment sup-
port or our basic inclestry.
The result has been, of course,
that Canada suffered an agricid-
tural depressions into which the
other industries were drawn to
a lesser .extent, during the win-
ter of 1957-58 — a depression
from which we have not fully
recovered and which threatens
to return sith increased severity in the winter months ahead.
The disturbing feature is that

;Seine still look on Agricultural

rah But is this true? Is it against
the principle of Canadians to ac-
cent Government assistance?.
i NO:
I When we examine the record
we find that almost every Cana-
dian industry accepts and even
demands government help of
some sort ,or another.
Several different rtOmes are ap-
plied to this help depending upon
the most practical method of ap-
plication. Some are called em-
bargoes, some are called tariffs,
some are called grants and some
are called subsidies. Whatever
the name, the principle is the
same, that is protection or an
industry by the people of Can.
ada.
I Other industries have accepted
I this and continue to prosper.
There is no basic difference be-
tiveen a tariff and a subsidy.
The tariff allows a rnanufac-
, turer to increase the price of his
product by the amount of the
tariff, the tariff is then a sub-
sidy paid to the manufacturer
by an individual purchaser. In
the other form the subsidy is
paid jointly by the populatien.
The gold mining industry in
addition to others has partici-
pated in tile direct subsidy me-
thod of support for a number of
years and is apparently quite
anxious to continue. The gov-
ernment recently passed legisla-
tion to provide for not only the
continuance of government sub-
sidy of the gold industry but also
to increase the amount of sub-
sidy by 25%,
The method for computing the
gold mine subsidy is roughly
this, A mine can receive sub-
sidy on two thirds of its entire
production provided the cost of
production exceeds $26.50 per
ounce. In addition, the Canadian
government purchases the mine's
entire production at. world prices,
The subsidy paid by the Cana-
dian people to the gold mines in
the len year period entled March
1958 amounts to 108 million. dol-
lars. This subsidy has assisted
.some of the gold mines to expand
in other direction and develop
vast iron ore and steel indus-
tries.
When we compare the figures
for gold mines and agriculture
we begin to realize how badly
farmers have fared. For the
twelve year period ended March
1958, 100,7 million dollars is
charged. to Agriculture Price
Supports. Of this amount over
70 million was spent because of
the hoof and mouth disease out-
break which has been termed a

of 30 million dollars for a twelve
year period divided among 500

The gold mining industry em•

We, in agriculture should not.
hesitate to insist on an effective
price support system. Self help
programs alone cannot hope to
rescue us filen .our present posi-
tih. P'roclucer controlled market -
ng hoards can plan an impor-
tant role. Farmers will continue
their very enviable record of in-
creased, effieiency. Crop insur-
ance and an improved credit
system will also be a benefit.
But over and above these meas-
ures we must have an effective
program to support agricultural
commodity Prices at a realistic
level,
Such .a program may have` a
limit to the amount of support
for any producer. We can not
depend. on increasing efficiency
alone, The chief advantage for
the most efficierit farmer is over
his neighbours.
We must somehow insure that
a portion of the benefits from
the increased effieiency of the
agricultural industry remain with
the farmer. This can only he
achieved if farmers and farm
organizations face up to their
responsibilities and demand the
measures promised by the pre-
sent government which are so
necessary for a prosperous agri-
culture and thereby a prosperous

Although many feeders are net:
vitally interested as wool pro-

payments on wool, a very season-
able agricultural product, as
brought out by the federal gov.
ernrnent, was meant as a pre-
tection to the producer.
Wool is supported in the TJ,S,A.
and other major producing coun-
tries. This is done in various
ways — tariffs, supports, etc.,

edge it is the first attempt of
aiding the agricultural producer
in this manner (correct us if we
are wrong),
World prices of wool dropped
sharply during the past 12
months, A Canada Department of
Agriculture report shows that
both in this country and abroad
prices in July were from 35 to 41

One county felt that marketing

of the Ca -op, Mr. Aiken and the
secretary, Mr. Boynton, re-
ported on the activities of the
Ontario hog producers for the
year.
The vertical integration that
seems to be growing in the hog
industry was given serious con-
sideration, It seemed to be the
feeling of the meeting that Co -
Ops should be entering contract
farming and in this way the fam-
ily farmer could derive at least
some profit from the feed busi-
ness through the patronage di-
vidend. it was also suggested
that, since packing plants are
entering the field .af production
in direct competition with far-
mers, perhaps it is time for the
farmers to seriously consider
Co -Op packing plants. The Co -Op
at Barrie seems to be profitable
in spite of their complaints
against the agency,
Several resolutions were ap-
proved. One of these was the
recommendation that the com-
modity groups join with the Fed-
eration in employing an infor-
mation -director fieldman to dis-
tribute information to the far-
mers. '
A resolution that was passed
back for further study was the
question of the advisability of
having the government continue
the freight subsidy on feed grain.
It was also felt that farmers
should be able to purchase grain
from the elevators on the same
basis as feed mills, It was felt
that these 'two things provided
unfair assistance to the large cor-
porations.
It was pointed out that the sub-
sidy on the grain used by one
large f e e di ng establishment
amounted to $50,000 per year.
It was also pointed out that
while processors were claiming
surplus supplies of pork some
stores were unable to buy suf-
ficient pork. Perhaps there is
room for improvement in the
