The amendments to the Farm Pro-
ducts Marketing Act that were re-
quested by the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture on behalf of our many
farm commodity group organizations
has apparently ;Aroused .eon.sAderahle
opposition from members of ° the
grain trade, particularly those hand-
lmg wheat.
The section of the act that was
most strongly opposed was the clause
that would permit pooling. They also
opposed the clause that N'ot,1:1 give
marketing boards power to own land
and property, The elevator owners'
seemed to feel that the pooling clause
was directed against them and
Neould eventually lead to their finan-
cial embarrassment.

Marketing wheat, providing the pro-
ducer received his cost of production
plus a fair profit, or an alternative of
storing his grain until such time as
he considers the price to be satisfac-

their wheat have been well paid for
"their efforts, The price at harvest
time was $1.60 as offered by the July-
ers. It is now $3,20 or better. That IS
an increase of around 70c per bushel
that the farmer receives for his ef-

ers need not be unduly worried about
what action might be taken under
the Ontario Farm Products Market-
ing Act.
Producers should be permitted to
pool any product they wish to. The.,e

The stand taken by some of our
Federal members of Parliament re-
presenting Western Ontario ridings,
would indicate a very great need for
a strong Ontario Wheat Producer
organization, We produced wheat for
food during the war and post war
years the same as our Western Can-
adian Farmers did, We are not re,
cueing any of the $65,000,000 bonus

no strong producer organization to
exert pressure to see that our pro-
dueers receive their share of such
bonus payments.

In a News Letter from the Canad-

some interesting information on sub-
sidies. It is a common practice to-day

results in re-
liability that
pays
oft t
to think of subsidies only in terms
of applying to farm produce. Many
city people seem to think that they
are paying heavy taxes to subsidize
the farmers for producing the food
that they must buy, The letter points
out that tariff protection for Canad-
ian Industry has cost the people of
Canada something close to three bil-
lion dollars in the past tweny years.
Canada's gold industry employs only
23,000 people, yet in 1949 that industry
was subsidized to the extent' of over
three million dollars. During that
same period thirty eight of the larg-
est gold mines made a net profit of
sixteen million dollars, This subsidy
was in force for a three-year period
and is likely to be renewed.
The subsidy on coal movement in
1949 amounted to nearly four mil-
ion dollars and on steel and iron
shipments over four and a half mil-
lion dollars. When the subsidy on
feed grains is discussed you would
think to hear the critics talk it Was
the only subsidy of its kind being
paid.
In Great Britain heavy subsidies
are paid to agriculture. A grant is
made to cover 40% of the cost of in-
stalling a water system in . farm
buildings and a farm home. 50% of
the cost of providing a dwelling for
farm owners is made by the British
Government. If such a system were
in effect in Canada we would find
more farms occupied and better liv-
ing accommodation on the farms that
are already occupied.
The farmers in Goderich Town-
ship' who negotiated an improved
settlement with the Ontario Hydro
Electric Power Commilsion on a
single pole line from Holmes to
Hayfield are to be congratulated for
their efforts. The nineteen farmers
from Goderich Township would not
sign the agreement with the H.E.P.C.
because they considered the rates to
be too low,
Robt, Saunders, the Hydro Com-
missioner met this group of farmers
in the school house at Porter's Hill
in Goderich Township on Saturday
afternoon, March 31st., at which time
a satisfactory settlement was made.
The farmers are now receiving $14,00
per pole for a single pole placed on
cultivated land where formerly they
received only $5.00. They are receiving
65c per rod for easement over the
land where formerly they received 45c.
Braces are to be paid for at the
same rate as the poles.
The new rates apply for the entire
Province. They are $14.00 for poles
placed on cultivated land, $7.00 for
poles placed in fence rows and $5.00
for poles placed on waste land. A
good settlement was also provided
where the line must cross bush land.
The foreman responsible for erect-
ing the line must consult with the
owner before entering upon the land.
This will prevent a repetition of some
of the grievances 'reported by the
farmers in Perth County. In instances
Where fences have to be taken down,
they must be repaired to the satis-
faction of the farmer or he can repair
them himself and the Hydro will pay
him for his work.
This policy is binding over the en-
tire province and is retroactive to
