NEWS FROM ONTARIO
FED. OF AGRICULTURE
"The farmers of Canada have
an,amazing ability to produce,
in fact to overproduce," Ontario
Federation of Agriculture Presi-
dent Gordon Hill told 400 dele-
gates to the Federation annual
convention in Hamilton on Mon-
day, "I picture our agricultnre as
as a high-powered automobile,
running .at half speed. it's temp-
ting to step on the gas just' a
tench, but when we do that, the
' vehicle accelerates too qickli,
throwing u$ out of control,"
Hill, re-elected to a second term
of office as President at the 1970
Federation convention, gave the
welcoming address on the first
(lay of the three-day policy making
convention.
"It was our efforts to regulate
'this ability to over-produce that
resulted in one of the most
divisive issues that ever hit Can-
adibh Partners," Hill said. Nat-
ional marketing legislation be-

ating the farmers of this land
into hostile factions. Political
opportunists used the legislation
to misinform and mislead farm-
ers to fan farmers' discontent
fold to embarass the federal
government.
Perhaps meremailly the govern-
ment slid the bill under the carpet
allowing farniers to patch up
their differences,"
But Hill told the federation
delegates that the problem 9t
over-capacity Was still preSent.
"The farmers of Canada still need
some kind of C(k:irdinating strap,
thre for provincial marketing
boards.
Speaking of the low incomes of
Canadian farmers, Hill said, "Our
young people are leaving thS
farms in droves. They see the
kind of incomes that farmers earn
and they want no part of it.
They want to enjoy the good
things of life that other people
their age enjoy and that means
they have to seek new careers.
An industry that can't keep its
young people is an unnealthy in_
dustry."
Hilt talked of the federation's
successes during his past year of
presidency. "Our best success was
in the field of truck licenses.
For years the Federation has
urged the Ontario government to
introduce as special rate license
for farmers. This year we got it.-
But Hill questioned the timing
of the announcement. "Perhaps
the election had something to do
with it." he said. "Maybe I'm just
a dreamer, but I'd like to see the
day when governments react to
the problems of agriculture when,
farmers need neip, not -when the
government needs help.
Looking at the future: Hill die- ..

ance program for cow-calf oper.

"Why not these advantages for

Q reeruis was on guard duty
for the first time. He was told
that no car was to pass without
a window sticker. The first car
contained a high-ranking officer
and his chauffer. No sticker on
the window.
"Halt!" shouted the recruit,
"Continue, driver," ordered the
officer.
"Wieggalg your partio'u, sir," said
the young C.f., "but new at
