Work too, hard: here says 5cotch 'farmer The role of government is to create the right climate which Would engender individual MM.-- live and not to smother and frnstrate with bureaucratic in- terference, declared Hop. Wil- liam A. Stewart, minister of agricUlture, in addressing the Middlesex-Elgin Hereford Breeders meeting in St. Thom- as. There were, he said, in- stances in the public interest when governments were forced to play a major role in matters very close to the individual, but he emphasized care should be taken to preserve the right NO freedom of action on the part of the individual, Predicting a bright future for Ontario.agriculture Mr. Stewart stated that on the pre- servation of the family farm rested the welfare pf the farm- ing community from both a moral and business standpOint. It was With this factor in mind that the government of Ontario Was giving particular attention to the problems of the farm family unit. Legislation, de- signed to develop ways and means to keep the farm family intact, would be introduced at the forthcoming session of the legislature. "Recognizing that the family farm provided the Very foundation of our agricul- tural industry, the government is planning increased manage- ment aid and financial assis- tance for junior farmers and farm family units", said. Mr. Stewart. Mr. Stewart said that the practical requirements of On- tario farmers was one of the major concerns of the Agricul- tural Research Institute which had been established last year. He emphasized that the institute was composed of practical, eX- perienced people who were in a position• to advise research workers of the needs of agri- ctiltural industry.

"Farming generally is on a. lower plane in Canada than in Scotland, and this is especially true of the region I visited." There is not the same security in agriculture in Canada as there is in Great Britain, he said. Ontario farms just give the owner a living and no more, he reported to local farmers. "Many were so near the eco- nomic danger line .that they had to eool their milk by immersing the cans in the trough from which the cattle drink, as they could afford no more elaborate system," he said. "One thing I'll say about the Ontario f ar mers -- they are more devout churchgoers than their Scottish counterparts!" Mr. Caldwell said the most efficient and successful far- mers he found in Ontario were the Mennonites--a religious sect he saw around Elmira. "They drove around in horse and buggy, dressed in sombre black. When they took over a • TWO amendments have been announced in regulations of the Farm Credit Act. Qne provides for reductions in the appraisel fee charged to applicants by the Crown lend- ing agency. The other permits postponement of loan repay, ment instalments under special circumstances. Appraisal fees of $50 and $100 --depending on the type of loan --had been charged previously. The announcement Monday by Agriculture Minister Hamilton said the change will mean lower appraisal fees for sm elle r loans. Henceforth, farmers applying under one section of the act will pay $10 down on the apprai- sal cost and 40 cents for each $100 worth of loan will be de- ducted when the loan is made. Under a second part of the act, the arm applicant will pay $10 down plus a deduction of 50 cents for each $100 worth of loan on approval—or $100 if that Works out as a smaller amount than the total deductions. The corporation will continue to refund fees if no appraisal is made. Loan instalment post- ponements can be arranged for borrowers developing anew en- terprise from which little re- turn is expected for the first year or so. Mr. Hamilton said one such example would be a switch to beef production from dairying-- part of a current campaign to increase Canadian meat sup- plies and trim dairy surpluses.

The minister told his au- dience that from a realistic standpoint, farmers must re- gard agricultural snbsidies and similar helps as, expediencesto meet emergency situations. He, suggested that prolonged use of such economic crutch would weaken rather than strengthen the agricultural industry. Mr. Stewart pointed .out that research was time consuming, particularly with livestock. He emphasized that it was the in- tention of his department to give new impetus to a co-or- dinated livestock researchpro- gram. The Minister made passing reference to the progress and success in the feeding efficiency in poultry, and suggested that, through research, marked im- provement would be found in the feed conversion efficiency of beef cattle. Mr. Stewart pointed out that the commercial beef business was a big business in Ontario today and that the purebred beef breeders have a basic re- sponsibility to provide "proper animals to meet the demand of the commercial market. The minister felt that another Milestone had been reached in the beef industry in 0 nt ar i o when 164 representatives from 2'7 counties decided to form the Ontario Beef Improvement Association. This association, he said, would be similar in constitution and aims to the very s u cces s f u I Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association. The Ontario Department of Ag- riculture would provide a full- time secretary and financesfor beef improvement work. Mr. Stewart expressed the hope that every beef producer in the province would become a member and that, since the aim of this association was for the over-all improvement of the beef industry, many purebred breeders would participate. The minister stressed that, in order to ensure broad and adequate coverage in the new beef im- provement association, there would be a director from'each county and that the program would be carried out with the participation and co-operation of the Agricultural Representa- tives.

Urges help for dropouts Six Out of ten students finish high school in the United States but in Canada seven out of ten students do not finish high school and only two out of three ever even get there. In the current Maclean's, Ja- nice Tyrwhitt describes some new ways to stop bright young- sters from quitting school (most dropouts have the intelligence to pass). The most important way is to spot potential drop- outs when they're ten or even younger, not when they're 15. Miss Tyrwhitt says a Toronto welfare agency, Central Neigh- borhood House is now offering afternoon and evening home- work sessions to 31 children who might otherwise quit school. "HoW this trial run works out," she says, "may affect the future of thousands of young- sters across the country -- in- deed all our futures, since a mass of undereducated workers slows down the whole econony."
