In his remarks Mr. Webber told the group that the 4-H organ- ization was working toward productive citizenship for its members, and that a debt of gratitude is due the Ontario Department of Agriculture for its guidance. He continued by saying that no vocation offers the challenge of agriculture for it provides a sense of doing something important. In regard to Hydro, the speaker suggested that in sell- ing power to farmers, it is a case of selling a more pleas- ant way of life, safer working conditions and lower unit costs for production. Referring to the work done on farms, he pointed out that over six mil- lion tons of hay moved by mus- cle power in Ontario this year, a tonage nearly equal to the production of the steel mills in total weight. He stressed the need for farmers to be good businessmen if they are to sur- vive, and said that the 4-H movement is assisting young farmers to be just that.

TO INTRODUCE LEGISLATION Unemployment Insurance Could Improve Farm Labor Shortage The minister of agriculture for Ontario, the Hon. William A. Stewart, stated last week that he was pleased to hear a press report that the Hon. Har- ry Hays, federal minister of agriculture, had announced that legislation would soon be introduced in the Commons providing for unemployment insurance for farmers, and that Ottawa had acted so quickly on Ontario's recommendation. The Hon. Mr. Stewart, at the recent Federal -Provincial Conference, had made a strong plea to the federal minister and other delegates with refer- ence to the general farm labor situation and had pointed up at that time not only the shortage of qualified farm labor on a great many Ontario farms, but as•well emphasized the poor bargaining position in which farmers were placed in the la- bor market because unemploy- ment insurance was not avail- able for farm labor and Work- men's Compensation was only used by a few farmers. He also requested that a federal -provincial conference be called at the earliest pos- sible moment to deal specif - ically with the farm labor sit- uation. Mr. Stewart announc- ed that he was pleased to learn from the Honourable Allan Mc- Eachen, minister of labor, that his recommendation had been followed and a federal -provin- cial meeting of ministers and deputy ministers on agricultur- Changes in Farm Credit Legislation Important changes in farm credit legislation were made in 1964, the Commercial Letter of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce notes. "The most significant change (in the federal Farm Credit Act) involved the d o u - bling of the maximum loan 1i- mit.The maximum 'Standard' loan is now $40, 000 .while the maximum 'Package -deal' loan is $55,000. In addition, an amendment to the Farm Improvement Loans Act increased the maximum loan limit under this legislation from $7,500 to $15,000 with no increase in the interest rate of five per cent. At the end of August, total chartered bank loans to farmers amounted to $695 million. About 39 per cent of this total was under the Farm Improve- ment Loans Act." al manpower would be conven- ed in Ottawa on December 18. Mr. Stewart emphasized that the farm labor situation was not purely a provincial one but was a concern of several prov- inces and a responsibility of more than one department of government at both federal and provincial level, He said that he was sure that a meeting of this kind of top government of- ficials could only result in an improved farm labor policy. At provincial level, Mr. Stewart advised that he had re- quested that a farm labor meet- ing be held in Ontario and this took place on November 24th. This meeting was attended by federal and provincial admin- istrators concerned with farm labor, the Canada Department of Citizenship and Immigration, representatives of growers' and processors' associations, and the Kent County Farm Labor Committee.
