answer to this important but difficult
ploblelll Forums were asked this ques-

replies to this. question was itself a
question: "Just how Much in terms of

be, so far as it is safe to generalize
from Ontario Forum findings., that
farmers are fairly well satisfied with
the prices they, are now receiving for
their produce, but (and again tfiere is
unanimity) farmers will - resist any
