Despite the fact .that large-, Eaa'.a farmers have recently Leen blamed for many of the l:riti surplus troubles. of Can- ...ian agriculture, they were paced in a ,favorable light at t e annual meeting of United go -operatives of Ontario. Delegates and speakers gene ra.ly reit that farm co-operatives ,en not easily .survive without s-rvi.ng the larger tanner as Yell as the small patrons. One point brought 'out by a paiei 11,r the su.,,ecL was Ghat iaany of tae sina.i farm co- ‘.-etatiVes might De able to beL- t..r serve tne farmer members Liman amalgamation of lacili-1 1.cs and services within cerfiain a.'eas, Other points stressed by tee panel were service, quality' el goods hanaled by co; ops, plus, utile feed and. lertillzer pro-, b;'ams for large scale farming. • ,r .1N,. Probably the strongest plea; for the large scale farmer was' g,ven by Italph Campbell pro-! lessor and head of tne econo-I mics department, OAC, Guelph, Professor Campbell quoted facts! which showed that a positive trend to larger farms has been, in evidence for many years. 'late trend is accelerating at present, with larger farmers putting out an ever-increasing percentage of the total 'output of food. Since 1921 census figures show that farms 480 acres or more in size had actually, increased in number. Up to 1956 farms from 200 to 480 acres had increased, but were showing signs of fall- ing off. "Size of farm can't be mea- sured in terms of acres," Pro- fessor Campbell said, "output is now more indicative of size." Safety ideas can win $ Cash prizes for highway safety suggestions will be the newest aid to solving Ontario's traffic problems. The awards, to be known as the Jack Hammell Highway Safety Suggestions Awards, were announced by Mrs. Hammell in commemoration of the late min- ing figure's great interest in traf- fic safety. All members of the public are invited to submit ideas on traffic safety improvements id Ontario. Seventeen prizes of $50.00 each will be awarded for the best ideas from each of the Ontario Provincial Police districts. For the best idea from the province, .an additional award of $150.00 will be presented. Suggestions should be con- structive and designed for sav- ing of life and the prevention of accidents on the streets and highways of Ontario. Suggestions should be proper- ly identified with the name and address of the sender, should not exceed 150 'words in length and must be postmarked° not later than noon December 9, 1959. They should be mailed to The District Inspector, Ontario Pro- vincial Police, Mount Forest, On- tario. Judging the contest in each Ontario Provincial Police district will be a panel of well-known citizens. The contest is being supervised by the attorney gen- eral's department. The trend is a matter'off ef- ficiency, be saki, with ;higher costs of cettipmen.t and labour requiring greater s4e of farm '. operation, 1 -ie predicted that size of live - steels and poultry feeding enter- prises will increase even more in the ,future. A big break- through is coming in livestock feeding right now, he told dere-, gates, just as a big break- through in the production and use of modern farm eaui.pmentl came at the end of the last war.' He referred to studies made by two rural sociologists who' had leen brought in from USA to lecture to educationalists ;a few years ago, to clinch his. argument about the value of the large-scale farmer, According to the sociologists, the large scale farmer was the person who tend -i ed to become the leader in farm organizations and in the com- munity, The first farmer to get ideas, use them and do his own re- search is usually the large-scale farmer; this type is called an innovator, The mass of farm people do not readily follow his lead. But the group of farmers who fit into an 'early adopter' class, the ones who use others' ideas and research on their own farms, are usually younger men and tend to be large-scale farm- ers. These are the ones who often become leaders, Professor Campbell pointed out that if the people who take a leading role in the future are likely to be large-scale farmers, farm co-operatives must have their support.

So: says Ontario Department of Agriculture safety .expert Harold Wright. He uses this farmer's letter, describing a case history of an accident, as an example: le: "1 have an apple tree which must be the highest apple tree in the world. So, to harvest it I rigged up a pulley and connect- ed .a large barrel to one end. I pulled the barrel up to the top of the tree and secured the rope to the trunk on the ground, I then went up the tree and picked the first barrel of apples from the uppermost twig, then I climbed down the tree and un- hooked the line from tlta truck. Unfortunately, the barrel of ap- ples was heavier than I was, and before I knew what was happening the barrel started jerking me off the ground, "I decided to hang on and halfway up I met the barrel of apples coming down and re- ceived a severe blow on the. Mt the limbs and getting my Angers jammed in the pulley. When the barrel of apples bit the ground, it burst its bottom and all the apples spilled out, I was now heavier than the barrel and so started down again at high speed. lfalf way down I inet the empty barrel .coining up and re. •eeiv.ed ts.evere injuries to Tut Tho imes AdyQ•cat,, December IQ, 195 ► Pogo.
