South Huron farmers meeting
in Zurich Friday night were told
all Canadian farmers need to
unite together in order to obtain
proper prices for their products.
Roy Atkinson of Landis, Sask.,
president of the National Farm-
ers' Union, told more than 200
farmers and their wives attend-
ing the session sponsored by the
local district of the Farmers'
Union, "We need a national farm
structure without pro v inc 1 al
blocks and without political and
industrial ties. One big kingdom
will do a better job than 10 little
ones."
The national president accused
Co rpor ate manufacturing and
business interests of trying to
keep farm producers divided and
weak, saying, "Large corpora-
tions have the ability to work with
their competitors and this is what
we have to do. Whether we spe-
cialize in corn, beans, beef, hogs,
milk, etc., we need r at i o na 1
supply control providing a proper
return for each commodity.
Mr. Atkinson said f ar mers
must realize how the industrial
sector of the economy operates.
He said farmers must organize
and operate the same way and
bargain collectively for the high-
er prices they should be getting
for their products.
"Most farmers are very civil-
ized and don't believe they live in
a wicked world and don't think
there are deliberate attempts by
big business to keep farmers
split in little groups while the
big empire is shifted on them.
Your pockets are being picked at
both ends by large business who
sell you feed at high prices and
buy back your products at low
figures."
Mr. Atkinson suggested the
road to success as a collective
bargaining force is with the
Farmers' Union. He warned, how-
ever, that those who felt the Union
could do them no good should
not join.
"We don't need all of you for a
strong collective force, but it is
my hunch that Canadian farmers
are ready for bargaining powers.
When 65% of the farmers in a
region are in favour that is the
time to move."
He told the farmers attending
the meeting, "your strongest bar-
gaining point is when your prod-
uct is still on the farm. The tool
that will be the clincher would be
your determination to hold your
product and put a price tag on it.
Let's negotiate with our com-
bined strength."
The national president also ad-
vocated forward pricing, say-
ing, "we should know six months
in advance what we are going to
receive for our product. Auto
manufacturers know well in ad-
vance what they are going to
charge for their merchandise."
Commenting on the proposed
merger of the Union and the Fed-
eration of Agriculture, he said
he didn't think the two would be
amalgamated because of their
different structures.
He said the Federation struc-
ture would have to change dras-
tically so there would be direct
dues-paying members similar to
the Union. •
He suggested a new organiza-
tion should be directed at the na-
tional level — not built on pro-
vincial entities.
"Don't worry about getting
married (OFU and OFA); worry
about getting an organization that
will take the necessary action to
get the job (of raising farm
prices) done."
The NFU president spent most
of last week in Ontario attending
meetings that were designed to
kickoff membership campaigns.
The Zurich local 206 of the
Farmers' Union, sponsors of last
week's meeting, covers the farm
territory from the southern edge
of Stephen Township in the south
to the Bayfield road in the north
and from Lake Huron to east of
No. 4 Highway.
Philip Durand, RR 2 Zurich,
is president of local 206 and
John Laporte is the secretary.
Laporte told the T-A early
this week that the membership
drive is starting this week and
should be in full swing by the
