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 appropriately named the Baptize baby at Centralia By MRS.

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before he could accept it, The government has in mind an organization which is government controlled, federated and outdated by thirty years.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.
