The N.F.U., in a brief submitted in February for the Food Strategy Conference, listed a series of solutions if Canada is to have a stable farm economy and a sufficient food supply. The list includes farm price stabilization, an energy and transportation policy geared to regional development and a Land -Use and Tenure policy which protects farm land from urban and industrial sprawl and keeps land out of the hands of corporate and non-resident land owners. "Consumers are afraid of farmers demands," says the N.F.U., "because the blame farmers for the risi` •qts of food. We sympathize ith their fear of rising food prices and we know the price that the consumer pays is disproportionate to what the farmer gets for producing it. But the blame must be levelled at theprocessors, distributors and large retail chains. They are the ones who cause the increase.

Food production is among the last of Canadian controlled resource industries. The production potential of Canadian farm families should be regarded as a positive factor in our economy.
