(By Keith Roulston) Members of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture were :thici Thursday night that the priorities of Canadian society are wrong. The meeting of 70 farmers froth throughout the county heard Harvey Davis of Dobbinton, reeve of Eldersley Township, quoted from an • article in the Toronto Daily Star which showed that the tin apple juice is sold in • costs two cents more than the apple juice itself. Mr. Davis, who is a former warden of Bruce County, member of the Ontario Press Council and president of the Bruce. County,Beef Improve- ment Association told the.group that out .of every $10 spent on food, less than $4 went to the farmer, the primary producer. He said farming was the only business he knew of that bought at retail prices and sold at whole- sale. Mr. Davis said that cries about high food costs were un- justified to a certain extent be- cause if prices for farm produce had risen at the same rate of other products such as cars, the prices would be far higher. Farmers warned An advisory -notice was issued to members of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture meet- ing in Clinton Thursday night about a consulting firm now doing business in Western Ontario, The advisory said the firm 'in question signing contracts with farmers for $300 per year for up to three years on a con- sultation basis. The consultation included, Bill Crawford, Huron County fieldman said, many sex*, vices which are provided free by the Ontario Ministry of Agri- culture and Food. He said investigation suggested farmers should be made aware of the fact that many of the services offered could be obtainedfreeosew4ere. Harvey Davis, guest speaker , at the meeting commented that it just proved that many firms had' found out over the years that-there is more profit' in farming the farmer than in farming, He pointed out that the cost of food has not risen at the same rate because of the tremen- dous increase in the productivity of the farmer. In the last 15 years, he said, the efficiency of • the farmer had increased 100 per cent while the efficiency of indus- try in general had risen only 60 : per cent. He gave an illustration from the beef industry where he , said 20 years ago a farmer could raise 40 head of cattle on 100 acres of land. Now by using the land to grow corn to feed his cattle the farmer could raise the same number of animals pro- ' ducing the same amount of meat on only seven acres. He said the government's attempts to maintain a cheap food. policy can be easily seen through the number of expert consultants the government pays to help farmers improve their effic- iency. Mr. Davis said most farmers would like to be able to earn enough to pay good wages for farm labour. He quoted statistics • which showed the average wage for farm labour is $1.64 per hour compared to $4.70 for construc- tion and $3.28 for industry. • He also said he was disillus- ioned with regional government. He said it would cost more and ' take away the basic democratic • need of communication between the people and the legislators. Under the present system, he said, a person can pick up the, telephone an d call his councillor any time he wants. Under reg- ional government, however., the alderman (or whatever he is called) would be harder to reach. "We realize we do need changes"- he said. "It is being shoved down our throats because of the apathy you and I have displayed" he said. He called for people to stand up and fight against the imposition of regional govern- ment. He said it might sound ***. corny, but men gave their lives on battlefields to preserve free- doms that are now in danger.
