(Continued from page one) expressed pleasure at being present at a farmers' gathering, particularly one sponsored by the Federation of Agri- culture. "For many years I did what I could to get farmers to organize," he said. "If farmers 'have not had a fair show, the reason is that they have not been organized, Too often in pub- lic affairs, the farmers did not speak at all; they spoke without wisdom or with a babel of tongues. The farmers must speak with one voice, and no government will fail to do what they ask." There are problems other than pro- duction in agriculture, the speaker felt, and one of these is to see that farmers get "more than one-sixth" of the nation's income, "That is not good enough for society or for us to leave to„, future generations," he said. Briefly reviewing his career since passing through this district as a young man, Mr. Bracken said that last fall when the challenge to a larger 'field came; he decided to leave Mani- toba because of the wider opportunity in the federal field. "No provincial goVernment can solve the basic prob- lems of agriculture," lie said. "They can be solved best in the federal field. Had it not been that a great party offered itself to serve agriculture, 1 would not be here today." He stressed that Canadians are fac- ed with "a war to win, a ,peace to make enduring, and a postwar world to build." Not the least of Canada's problems, he said, will be to male sure that farmers, who represent 30 per cent of her population, receive more than one-sixth of the country's income, This is a problem, he felt, which can be solved better in the federal than the provincial field, and cannot be met by the individual farm- er als ot Stressed Increased Production The Hon, Farquhar Oliver expres- sed pleasure in the strides which the Federation of Agriculture has made and its possibilities for the future, "We owe it to ourselves and those who follow us to make it a strong anvenue through 'which we can place our ideas before the federal and pro- iated and Miss Florence Welsh, cousinivincial houses," lie said. of the bride, played the wedding( Mr. Oliver felt that the end of sub- march.
