V Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Speaks to Huron Farmers Ontario's fuel shortage could be relieved if farmers would keep their sons and hired men on the farms to cut firewood ,luring the winter, Agri- culture Minister Kennedy said here last Thursday in an address prepared for delivery before the Huron County Federation of Agriculture.. Describing the fuel problem as "very serious," Mr. Kennedy said .the plan would help to keep young men. on the farms, "where they are needed as never before," and by so doing would be of ultimate benefit to the whole future of Ontario agriculture. "Young men are being urged to go to the bush to cut lumber and pulp- wood." Mr. Kennedy 'said. "They are also being asked to go into war fac- tories and some of them are doing that. The trouble with that is that many of them who leave the farms for the winter may never come back. By keeping your hired men and sons on the farms to cut all the firewood possible you will help make up the fuel shortage and help keep young men on the farms." County agricultural committees, approved by county wardens at a Toronto conference Monday, can or- ganize a planned economy for the agricultural life of each county ac- cording to its production possibilit- es and its needs, Mr. Kennedy said. "In nearly every case the majority of the members of the committee will be the representatives of the organ- ized farm groups within the county," int said. "The farmers themselves will have the controlling voice in the com- mittee and the members will be selec- ted in a democratic way by the farm- ers themselves. Now that the principle has been approved by the county war- dens we hope that in the very near future the committees will be set up and will be able to go to work on the improvement of agricultural condi- tions in each county." The time has passed when fanners should look to the government for ad- vice on how to run their farms and market their crops, Mr. Kennedy said, adding that the men who have been successful farmers are best qualified toe help their neighbors in these mat- ters. "We believe that the farmers know how to rut their own business better than we do," he said, "and we will be behind them to give them help when they need it. That is why the Agricultural Inquiry Commission is a body chosen, except for the chairman, by the farmers -themselves, and I think that before it has finished its work the commission will have done a great deal to improve the position of agriculture in Ontario." Banquet in Evening With H011. 1% L. Kennedy, Ontario Minister of Agriculture, as guest of honour, the Huron County Federa ton of Agriculture held a banquet In St. Paul's Parish' hall on Thursday ev- ening at which 150 members and guests were served by the St. Paul's Ladies' Guild.
