On the spacious grounds of exico's National Agricultural College, at Chapingo, they saw a new generation of MF farm tractors and a tough new line of tractor -powered imple- ments as well as new, rugged industr Tal and construction equipment. Massey -Ferguson chose Mex- ico as the launch site of the new equipment because it is believed that the first corn cul- tivated in the world was grown in Mexico by primitive sun worshippers. Included on the itinerary was a visit to Teoti- huacan, ancient city of the gods, where the famed Teatro Classico de Mexico presented a dramatic pageant of ancient Indian culture. Deputy Minister Points Out Long Term Policy Essential Delegates to the annual meeting of the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association were told Thursday that serious consideration should be given the current farm situation by farm organization in co-opera- tion with all levels of govern- ment which would ensure an adequate return to agriculture and the farmer. Speaking on the topic "Focus. on Agriculture", Everett Biggs , Deputy Minister of Agriculture, said that while the farmer and government must give serious consideration to the current sit- uation, the development of long-term policy was essential to the continued welfare of the industry. "First of all we must make sure an assured and adequate income, not only based upon fair interest for their large cap- ital investment, but an income that would be more on a level with other segments of our eco- nomy," co- nomy," said Mr. Biggs. The Deputy Minister said that it was recognized thatsuch planning went beyond one pro- vince, and that action taken by provincial marketing organiza- tions and the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture could be nullified or made ineffective by Dominion -wide situations or other considerations. "I am convinced that we can get a better public under- standing of our industry, and I am convinced that, through this, we will get better finan- cial returns for our Ontario farmers, and help overcome the entirely unrealistic and un- fair situation which has devel- oped , " said the Deputy Mini- ster, "A situation where the farmer's costs have progressed in pace with the generalbuoy- ant economy, which has re- sulted in markedly increased costs which have tended to not only wipe out all of his profits in some cases, but which in all cases has more than trebled Farm Loans Hit A Record High OTTAWA -Increased demand •y Canadian farmers for long- term credit to expand their OBSERVE ^ WHITE ANE U WEEK February 7th to 14th Wm. TIFFIN Imperial Esso Dealer DIAL 357-1032 farm businesses is reflected in the latest announcement from Farm Credit Corporation. Figures released by FCC Chairman George Owen show that 9, 64? loans amounting to $145 million were approved in the first nine months of the current fiscal year. This compares with 8,284 loans totalling $102 million in the same period for 1963, an increase of over 16 per cent in the number of loans and a record increase of 43 per cent in the amount lent. Three main reasons are given for the upsurge in lending: 1. Increased awareness by farmers of the credit and ser- vices provided by the Corpora- tion. 2. Recognition by farmers of the value of credit in develop- ing sound farm businesses. 3. Increase in loan ceilings effective in June 1964. Since midsummer, over 1, 000 loans have been made in excess of previous loan limits. The fact that the Corpora- tion may now make loans under the Farm Machinery Syndicates Credit Act adds an intermediate- term type of credit to the al- ready established long-term credit service it can bring to the farmers. over his increased income." Mr. Biggs pointed out that following World War II and up until about 1952, the farmer experienced an expanding eco- nomy. " Then it changed, and he has been in a cost -price squeeze which has been getting tighter ever since," he told the meet- ing. Recalling that Hon. Wm. A. Stewart, Minister of Agriculture, had said that there was no place in our present thinking and eco- nomy for a philosophy of cheap food which has been placing the farmer in an untenable po- sition, Mr. Biggs said that he too would like to reiterate the feeling of the Minister. "There is no place for a cheap food philosophy in our present economy," said the Deputy Minister, "Too many people, for too long now, have embraced a food philosophy which is not in the best inter- ests of agriculture or our eco- nomy. That is one of the thoughts that we should keep in mind in our future planning:' Mr. Biggs suggested that it would be money well spent to retain a team of the hest brains in the country to develop a long -reran plan which would give full recognition to the needs of agriculture, • • • 51M PAID ON GUARANTEED TRUST CERTIFICATES • issued in amounts from $100 upwards for 3, 4 or 5 years. • earn 51/4% interest, payable half - yearly by cheque. • authorized investment for all Canadian Insurance Companies and trust funds.
