TRACTION
TORQUE
3-T PERMACORD NYLON
MORE PULL-POWER
Exclusive Multi-Angled Lug built
deeper, longer, wider — bites deep in
sod and hard soil — pulls with
authority through soft going.
Angle bracing strengthens each lug
like corrugations strengthen steel.
Lugs hold firm against the bending
and twisting forces that can rob
ordinary straight lugs of their-pull-
power.
MORE WEAR
Traction Torque Lugs get wider as
they wear. Wear is distributed over a
wider area and the rate of wear
decreases. Result: Your tire casts are
s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d over a longer period of
time!
MORE PROTECTION
New Heavy Duty Rim Shield protects
against damage to vital bead and rim
areas by deflecting rocks, roots and
stubble.
TRACTION TORQUE — the first popular-priced tire
conceived, designed and constructed for to perform-
ance on today's equipment — on today's farms.

Desire better returns
for farmers' produce.
Walter Miller, President of the
Ontario Farmers Union, told
Parkhill area farmers that the
problem facing fanners and also
the whole economy of the
country, is the lack of money
received for agricultural
products at the farm level.
Past experience shows that,
when the farmers have an
income comparable to the urban
average worker, the whole
economy of the country is
stable. Therefore the problem of
income is of prime importance.
The farmer's fight is against the
corporations that sell him his
inputs and at the same time buy
his outputs.
These are national and
international corporations. Their
main interest is profit for
shareholders. They use any
means possible to keep
increasing these profits, even if it
includes lobbying in Toronto or
Ottawa, passing a bit of money
under the table, to make sure
their interests are protected. The
Ontario Farmer's Union is
challenging these interest&
For example, every farmer in
Ontario could purchase his
supply of fertilizer much
cheaper this spring. Also they
can now buy baler twine for
under six dollars a bale and the
Union is working on a deal for
fuel.
Two of the manoeuvres used
to stop this movement of
farmers were the task force from
Ottawa and the Special
Committee on Farm Income
from Toronto. Mr. Miller
suggested that these reports
could have been more

Farmers Obituary Reports, Out
of the SCOVI came the idea of
setting tip a G.F.O. Speaking on
the pending legislation for the
establishment of a G.F.O., Mr.
Miller mid that, as it reads at the
present, it will allow farmers to
be herded into an organization
which has no power and which
can be manipulated by
government, He stated that there
are eight sections which will have
to be drastically changed before
he could accept it,
The government has in mind
an organization which is
government controlled,
federated and outdated by thirty
years. The farmers therefore, can
decide to, either, go back thirty
years and lose control of their
production or move ahead and
join the Union as it sets up a
National Union the last of July.
The farmers of Ontario owe a
great deal to the Union leaders
and must defend them at every
level.
George Smith from Ashfield
stated that he is still a Union
member and supports Plan A but
feels that the G.F.O. is the last
chance for farmers to get a
grassroots organization. Mr.
Miller, in reply, stated that
government can not legislate a
voluntary membership
organization out of existence
and when the Union first• began
the organizers were told that it
was impossible to organize a
union of farmers across Ontario.
But it has been done.
Gordon Hill explained that
all the G.F.O. committee
members present support Plan A
and are paid up Union members
because they feel it is the
ultimate goal for a farm
organization but they felt that
they could achieve it through
G.F.O.
Mr. Miller replied that under
present legislation which is now
before the house Plan A can not
be achieved.
Treasurer Andy Kuysten
explained that fertilizer can still
be purchased through the Union
along with baler twine and slow
moving vehicle signs. He would
like farmers purchasing twine to
place their orders as early as
possible.
