the tobacco, wheat, hog and
peach programs. The OFA took
an active part in supporting
various commodity groups in
their efforts to secure amend-
ments to existing legislation,
and made recommendations with
the Canadian Federation of Ag-
riculture to the federal govern-
ment concerning the operation
of the new stabilization act.
The treasurer's report was also

Future Unlimited
For Soybean
A plant with an Oriental back-
ground anti a seemingly unlinlit•

bean.
Its popularity skyrocketed ae

up. Canada last year produced
6.000.000 bushels of soybeans and
imported a n n t h e r 8.500:000

Agriculture.
Yet tsanada's production is
dwarfed alongside that of the
United States and China. Be-

on a special program celebrating
Union Farm � �nlon 11'eek.
Prime function of National
Farm Union Week is to• acquaint I
urban, as well as rural people
with the fact, that there IS a
Farm union, and impress upon
them the aims of Ontario Farm-
ers' Union.
The income of urban and rural
people is related: they are inter-
dependent. Farmers depend on
urban people to buy their farm
produce: urban people depend
on farmers to buy. their merch-
andise. If agriculture is not pros•
perous farmers cannot buy cars, •
trucks, tractors, balers, forage•
harvesters. contbines and other
machines so necessary to oper-
ate a farm today.

she has a pressure system or
carries water from the pump in
the yard, whether she gets a
new heating system or coaxes
another year's service from the
old kitchen stove. These things
have a bearing on the pay cheque
of the man in town.
The Ontario Farmers' Union is
organized on three levels, local,
county and provincial. Locals,
which are usually set up one to
a township, hold regular monthly
meetings and discuss various
agriculture problems. Recom-
mendations go from here to the
county organizations in the form
of resolutions, then 'before the
s provincial•annual convention and
if passed become union policy,
which cannot be changed by di-
rectors.
