The minister brought in a resolution asking parliament to 'raise the capital amount from three millThn dollars to four million. As the minister explained, this was necessary 'because of the ac- celerated rate of lending in the past year or so. There was no ob- jection to this increase (from any source, but much complaint was made (frons nearly all quarters of the House with respect to the very limited noisy' in which the act was being administrated. It was pointed out to the min- ister and the government. that farmers were not getting. the con- sideration they deserved •with re- spect to loans. The act reads that a farmer is entitled to receive up to 65`7 of value, but as I myself pointed out, farmers were not able to get anywhere near the amount. Some wanted the ceiling raised to 801, but my contention is that it doesn't matter so much the raising, of the percentage, if the farmer was able to realize up to 65' The trouble is the applicant is up against the judgment of the appraiser. IIe doesn't always agree with the applicant, but places his own valuation on the farm. I suggested to the minister to set up a tribunal to work in some cases. This would give the ap- plicant at least a fair estimate of I he value of his farm. Farmers find themselves in rather a tough spot with respect to Dungannon school where she is money in the .last three. or four receiving her first English tuition years,, and 'it is getting worse. As under Mrs. Marvin .Durnin. We the resolution proves, they need hope this family will enjoy our more money. Because the government is in the lending field, farmers are no longer able to borrow money from private lenders. When a farmer goes to a private lender he is told "why don't you go to the Canadian Farm Loan Board"? You're Stuck The result is that if you are way of life and will become useful citizens of our Country.

This was a Com- mittee set up by the Government to make a study of Canada's future progress. Up till now this Com- mittee has spent over one million dollars, and all we have received is a preliminary report. Xlie final report is to come later. I am going to relate some of its findings dealing currently with agriculture, and referring to the great changes that have taken place in Canadian agriculture since the • end of the last war, which has meant a steady Increase In the physical volume zor, output per farm, and per mean hour. The re- port refers to the considerable im- provement in real earnings and the Increase in farm income, ex- perienced during the postwar years. But no mention is made of the fact that a portion of this increase is, in effect, a return on capital invested in modern agricultural machinery, and may I add, in the greater use of fertilizers, herbi- cides, for weed control so neces- sary in this day and age. These greater outlays have not been men- tioned in the Gordon report, nor has it referred to the fact that the dollar earned by the farmer in recent years 'has declined in value and purchasing power. Proper Perspective My ,contention is that if em- phasis' is to be placed on the over- all increase in• farm income, then it should be viewed- in its proper perspective, and take into account all related factors. Strange to qay, the report goes on to say that the growth of Canada's popu- lation, coupled with rising costs and incomes, will have decided impact on the 'pattern of agricul- tural production.
