""we hear complaints of the
rising cost of food," he said,
pointing out though that the
Canadian consumer was now
able to buy a wider range of
quality food at a more reason-
able cost than ever before.

Quoting from another source,

He predicted that if city peo-
pie understood the situation they
wouldn't mind payieg abit more
for their food, adding that the
consumer was confused and
didn't know what the farmer
received for his products.
Ross said farmers were part-
ly to blame in their lack of
public reletions and also for
being egotistical,
He hinted the Federation of
Agriculture may be hurting the
image of the farmer by holding
its annual convention in the
Royal York hotel in Toronto.
Noting it was the biggest and
probably the best in Canada,
he said he wondered what city
people thought when farmers
met there for conventions.
They may think of the sub-

Guest ,speaker for the evening
was Reg Black„ secretary-trea-
surer of Hay Fire inserence
who presented an interesting
talk on the progress of science
in the field of coAnnnieations
from medieval times to the
present atomic age, with a look
into tomorrow.
He stated that the installation,
of dial system in the area was
in keeping with the rapid ad-
vancement of communications..
He said it was poseible to nave
peeped circuit TV in Zurich in
the near future. Mr. Black ex-
plained, the use of DDD in the
area also the electronic means
of recording DDD calls on tape
in Lendon which are shipped to
Toronto for processing, then
returned to London in ticket
form which is sorted finally
by electronic machines.
Mr. Black pointed out the
various changes in the insure
ancp field and predicted insur-
ance companies would probably
consider the moral risks in-
volved. Farmers who were once
insured for $2,000 are now
insured for $10,000, more than
being led down the garden path
when they see 300 to 40Q farin-
erg spending four days at the

ge even went se far as to
pay some city people may wen,
der if the farmers got to Tor-
onto by driving their Cadillacs
or by flying down in their own
private eirplanes.
Ross noted that .subsidies are
degrading and cause embar-
rassment to farmers, but, they
are necessary to upee up
through the change".
He said he was fearful that if
city people got the wrong im-
pression they may bring pres-
sure to bear that could hurt
other farm programs.
He concluded his address by
noting the Canadian taxpayer
has only three cents of his tax
dollar go to agriculture end that
this pays for the subsidies,
research, operation of research
farms food inspection services
and administration costs.
"I fail to see why people
should be concerned and neglect
to think about the other 970,"
he said, quickly adding it may
be because farmers haven't
done a good public relations
job.

littrOrt County farmers
tending the annual meeting of
their Federation of Agriculture,
''/..140.04Y,. 'Were -told once again
about some of their problems
especially in creating a Wore
able image for themselvegl.
But the guest speaker who
outlined. the problems and the
needs :failed to come up with
many concrete ideas as to how
they could overcome their prob.,
tems,
The main theme .of the speech
given by James V. Ross, direc-
tor of information for the One
tarie Federation of Agriculture,
was that farmers have failed to
do a good nubile eeletions job
to overcome some of the felse
impressions their urban cou-
sins have of them.
',Maybe you have suggestions
on how it can be improved," he
stated in concluding his talk.
No suggestions were
and in fact no time was even
given at the Lorideehoro annual
for any suggestions from rnerne
leers present.
But at least members and
guests left the meeting knowing
they still have problems, just
In ease some of there tied fore
gotten since the lest time they
heard similar speeches.
Ross termed farmer-consu-
mer relations one of the ""most
neglected areas" concerning
farmers, and said it was one of
the most important facing them.
After telling his farm audi-
ence that they were called such
defamatory names as ""hypo-
critical beggars", ',greeters"
and ',exploiters of labor", Ross
encouraged the F of A members
by pointing out he felt there was
little difference between far-
mers and city people.
',We're all Canadians and
there's a bit of good in all of
us as well as a bit of bad."
He went on to point out that
farmers have ahuge investment
in comparison to other forms
of industry and commerce in
Canada.
He cited figures showing that
the average dairy producer has
WARRANTY
LESS PERCENTAGE
Rose admitted that the con-
Sumer is spending more money
on food, but it is actually a
smeller percentage of her hus-
band's wages.
To point this out he noted that
$10 would buy enough food for
a family of four in 1936, while
it was now only up to $25 for
a family of four. “But the take
home pay has increased four
fold in that time," he said.
He also used figures to show
that the Canadian consumer
uses less of her dollar to buy
food than the consumer in any
other country, with possibly
the exception of the U.S.A.
""We should have no shame
in our efforts to society and
the economy," the information
director explained.
The government subsidiza-
tion of farm products was re-
ported by the speaker to be one
of the major causes of mis-
understanding on the part of
urban people,
He explained it was direct
subsidy and city dwellers could
possibly be excused for thinking
the farmer has his hand in the
till all the time.
However, he said that ""al-
most everyone" is subsidized
in one way or another, citing
unemployment insurance, tar-
iffs, etc.
