Ontario Farmers' Union Pro vincial President 1e1 Tebbutt , attending the meeting, sai that implement manufacturer are continually changing mo dels and design, thus Makin it impossible for local dealer I to keep an up-to-date stock. And increasing the cost of ;lel machinery, A recommendation was for ' warded to the National Farm ers' Union asking that they, in their brief to the Farm Imple Ment Investigation Committee ask for some provision to be ' made so that implement parts and service be available to •farmers at all times.

"Fifteen per cent of our farmers are so efficient that that produce 80 per cent of our food. What will happen if an- other 5 per cent can be in- ' 1 ttn. ry< 't •,..`"ttr`t,V,PktM, • This •week in diked to produce on the Sante , scale?" n The average age •of the Can- t adian farmer is M years. and ✓ since industry is reluctant to hire older men, Mr. Tebbutt d, felt that any increase in the flow of farmers from the land s could only mean more unein- d ployment. n The speaker continued: "De- - cline in farm prices, rise in y tests, and lack of purchasing power experienced by farmers - have contributed largelY to un , emPlaYment. When the coun. d try's basic industry is not $ prosperous, it reflects on the economy - as a whole." g Mr, Tebbutt criticized Agri.] s culture Minister Hamilton's , Rural Development and Red v habilitation Act, saying it1 brings no relief to present-day 1 , farmers. Legislation is avail.; . able for parity prices, but governments don't want to use , it, he said. •Mr, Tebbutt felt that the Government is being more suc- cessfully pressured by other groups than farmers. He urged farmers to keep their local Members of Parliament abreast of their problems. Mr. Tebbutt! expressed concern that the Government is considering in- creasing the amount of the, commodity available for defic- iency Payments, rather than the base price. When questioned about color- I ed margarine, Mr. Tebbutt • said emphatically he was against it and said that he re - rets many children are grow- ing up today without having • tasted butter, Winchelsea By MRS.

In another farm of about 470 acres, the Canadian visi- tors inspected. a field of wheat which had been so \ ed by plane because of the wet spring. The owner here was expert- mentin,,,d with the use of Cana- dian plywoods in construction of farm buildings. During one weekend, Mr. Down visited the area around ,• Exeter, in Devon, and found it "wonderfully pretty country." That's livestock...! Livestock are animals that are bred and raised in Huron county to keep the producer broke and the buyer crazy. Livestock are born in the spring, mortgaged in the summer, pastured in the fall and given away in the winter. They vary in size, color and weight and the man who can guess the nearest to the weight and market grade is called a livestock buyer by the public, a robber by the farmer and a poor businessman by his banker. . The price of livestock is determined in To- ronto and goes up after you have sold and. down after you have bought. A buyer from small city packer was sent to Toronto to watch the livestock markee'and after a few days' deliberation, he wired the company to this effect: "Some say the market will go up and some say it will go down. I say the same. Whatever you do will be wrong. Act at once!" When you have light cattle the buyers want heavy ones, when you have heifers you find they want steers and vice versa; when they're thin, they should be fat and when your steers are fat the buyer tells you: "The market on tallow is all shot to h- - You got 'em too doggone fat."
