PARR LINE
Regular meeting of the Parr
Line Farm Forum was held at
the home of Wilfred Mousseau'
with 24 members in attendance.
Discussion led by Mr. John Sol -
den proved to be a very interest-
ing one. While the merits of
price supports were realized as
to what goad they had done in
the past no one disputed that
there should not be a system
whereby the farmer will not be
able to operate at a profit. This
forum thinks if price supports
were set at a cost plus basis
our Canadian prices would still
be too high for the available ex-
port markets. Some members
thought that the price supports
may lead to the same situation
which exists in the U. States
where the government has had
to regulate acreage, or to be
more specific, more government
control.
We think that the only way
farmers ran attain a fair and
stabilized price system, which
will bo in accordance with world
markets, would be through the
establishment of more marketing
boards, and through Co -Opera-
tives, The farrier has the means
Within his grasp to reach these
objectives if he utilizes these
two means for selling and buy-
ing, In view of the fact that ba-
con from our Grade "A" hogs is
selling at a premium of 4 to 5
cents a Ib, above the top bacon
on the U. States market. This
forum has forwarded a resolu-
tion to the Hay Twp, Federation
of Agriculture, recommending
there should be a spread of at
least five dollars between "A"
and "B" hogs,
It was agreed that this would
wive more encouragement to pro-
ducers to improve their grade of
hogs. At present there is too lit-
tle difference in price between
these two grades.
Winners of euchre were Mrs.
Ida Dick, for the ladies, and Gor-
don Coleman for the gents.
Lunch was served by the ladies.
Next meeting will be held at the
home of Mr, and _Mrs. Stewart
Blackwell.
high enough to encourage in-
creased production. They should
be high enough to compere with
products. We must buy also high
enough to protect f a r m e r s
against droll in price. Price sup-
ports a trifle too low to meet
prices of industrial eonmodities
tend to cause greatly increased
production.
(2)•Unless we can have sup-
port prices higher than export
market prices they are of little
use. We can trade at export
prices.
.(3) Suppert prices without
barriers is being tried in cheese
and results are disastrous for
Dairy Industry. The government
'choose not to protect them. In-
ternational trade barriers will be
strengthened as a necessary
protection.

HULLETT
On Monday evening 21 -mem-
bers of the Fireside Farm Forum
met at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Don Buchanan to discuss
farm marketing. The question
was; Should farm price supports
be high enough to protect the
producer but not encourage
overproduction, and should cov-
er the cost of production? Se-
condly, our cost of production is
much higher than many other
countries, and the farmers' in-
come is at the mercy of the
climate, so our support price is
often much higher than in other
countries. As the U.S.A, often
takes our surplus produce, it
should not be higher than their
prices. Thirdly, a 'high-priced
support program would increase
values to international trade. The
winners were; most games, Mrs,
Jim Howitt, George Parker. Lone
hands, Mrs. Oliver Anderson,
George Carter. Consolation, Mr's.
Robert Jamieson, Oliver Ander-
son. The group were invited to
meet next week at the home of
Mr, and Mrs. Oliver Anderson.

DIAMOND WEDDING OF
LONDON COUPLE
Mr. and Mrs, W. A. Langford,
Tref akgar St., East, long-
time residents of London, on
Saturday celebrated their 60th
wedding anniversary.
Mr. Langford, aged 86, is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. George
Langford, Granton, Mrs. Lang-
ford, a granddaughter of one of
the original Tolpuddle Martyrs,
is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Julian Standfield, London. She
is 33 and has one brother living,
Wilfred Standfield, of Easton,
Pennsylvania.
The couple were married in
London on Feb. 6, 1895. They
have farmed most of their lives,
with the exception of a few
years when MIr. Langford oper-
ated a hardware store in the
city.
To mark the occasion a family
gathering was held for Mr. Lang-
ford at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
James Langford, Vancouver St.,
and a family visit was paid to
Mrs. Langford who is a patient
in Egerton Street 'Private hos-
pital.
Present at the gathering were
Mr. and Mrs. Alec Langford, Mr.
and Mrs. George Langford, sons
and daughters-in-law; Mr. and
Mrs. W. R. Shaw, son-in-law and
daughter, all of London; Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Langford, son and
daughter-in-law, Detroit. Grand-
children present were Gordon
Langford, Stoney Creek; Donald

an farmers who had been estab-
lished under the Veteran's Land
Act,
Mr, Miller explained that while
the Fanners' Union is relatively
new in some parts of Ontario, it
is not new in Canada and he
Went on to explain the strength
of the farm unions in Western
Canada. The Interpro vin c i a l
Farm Union Council has a mem-
bership of 20,000.
Mr. Miller spoke about grain
handling practices in Ontario,
explaining how the farmers in
Ontario often purchase grain
without knowing what quality it
is, as there is no grain inspection
this side of the lakehead and he
told of how the Union had been
successful in making it possible
for farmers to purchase grain
direct from the lakehead in car-
load lots at a substantial saving.
Mr. Miller went on to say that
livestock prices dropped back-
wards in the last two and a half
years by over 50 per cent, while
cost of production rose by eight
per. cent. The speaker advocated
National Livestock Marketing
Boards controlled exclusively by
the producers, and parity prices
for farmers.
He advocated closer co-opera-
tion with organized labor, ex-
plaining that farmers and work-
ers were the consumers of each
other's products and should have
a better understanding of each
other's problems.
Mr. Miller,, in concluding his
talk said that any organization
only has three main assets and
first of all was membership, se-
cond was leadership and third
was policy. The Farmers' Union
he said, has good leadership and
good policy, as it was made by
farm themselves but needs
farmers ,
more membership.
He called on farmers to "rise
up against the injustices that
are being handed out to farm-
ers" by joining, building, and
strengthening the Ontario Farm-
ers' Union,—The Clinton News
Record.
Selecting Corn Hybrids
The Ontario Corn Committee
has just released information on
selecting corn hybrids for adap-
tability and maturity.
The information includes re-
commendations for early, medi-
um and late varieties in all five
Ontario zones as applied to both
grain corn and corn silage. A
total of 53 recommended hybrids
are listed.
The Committee urges growers
to observe the following points:
,(1) Plant corn on time.
(2) Use fertilizer according to
soil test, keeping in mind that
corn requires a lot of fertilizer.
1(3) Obtain a good stand, This
requires careful machine setting
Farmers' Union Meets at Auburn
A group of local farmers gath-
ered in the Forester's Hall, Au-
burn, last Tuesday night for a
special meeting sponsored by the
Ontario Farmers' Union. The
speaker, W. L. Miller, 'Tara, first
vice-president of the union, out-
lined the set-up of the union and
policies that have been adopted
as well as explaining some of the
reasons why the farmers should
organize as part of the Union.
Mr, Miller said, "this is a fam-
ily union", and urged all farm-
ers to try to get their wives and
the young people interested by
bringing them out to the meet-
ings.
The speaker pointed out that
it was started approximately
three years ago in a small com-
munity in Grey County by farm-
ers who were not satisfied to sit
back and see their prices contin-
uously dropping while everyone
else's outside agriculture was
still going forward. The key
figures in starting the move-
ment in Ontario were war veter-
