FEDERATION PICNIC Continued From Page One Hon, Farquhar Oliver. Agriculture in, this war has been called on to shoul- der responsibilities to a much great- er extent than ever before, and under difficult conditions, he said. Stress- ing the grave labo•.probiem, he de- clared that "we cannot go on drain- ing men off the fauns and expect to increase production on those farms. We should make every effort to al- locate manpower to the relatively important positions as we see them and as they are." Mr. Oliver felt that the end of sub- sidies had not been reached, and stressed that, if agriculture has to compete with industry for labor, far - mere must have increased subsidies on their products to enable them to pay higher wages, Spacial exhibits which proved of great interest to the farmers were arranged by the Federation in the grounds of the park. An exhibit of labor-saving devices drew a large crowd, while many saw a display in the veterinary tent and those ar- ranged by the Ontario Agriculture College and the Department of Agri- culture, W. L. Whyte, of Hullett, president of the Fluron County Federation of Agriculture, was chairman for the program. In addition to Mr. Bracken and Mr. Oliver, special speakers for the day included W. A. Brown, chief of the nlai'koting branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, who stressed the need for increased egg production to 91'071110 dried eggs for Britain; C. 0. Lyster, of the De- partment of Agriculture, Toronto, who. urged' production of more bacon; A. I2, Campbell. Fiensali, who on be- half of the veterinary clinic, discuss- - ed the importance of healthy animals to increase production; and Miss Edith Elliott, of consumer branch week. Otherwise, some of the popula- tion will go short, Mr. Lyster stress- ed the importance of shipping the best quality products to Britain, "If we continue our efforts to produce, and ship the right kind of product, we have a right to expect that we will be granted a favorable place in the postwar market," he said. The Federation of Agriculture was congratulated on its organization by Dr. Campbell, who spoke on behalf of the veterinary surgeons. "Now as never before organization is neces- sary among farmers," he said. "If you do not organize you won't be able to get your rights," Stressing that healthy animals are necessary to increased production, Dr. Camp- bell said that the veterinaries are willing to help in every way possible. Due to the vigilance of the veterin- ary profession, under the guidance of the veterinaries' branch at Ottawa, this country now has less animal die. ease than any other in the world. Great progress has been made in treating and preventing various kinds of diseases, he said. Commending the Federation on its, efforts to assist the county in produc- ing foodstuffs, W. H, Golding, memb- er of Parliament for Huron -Perth, said that he was more than pleased with Huron county's contribution to all war efforts and war services. - Despite the labor shortage and dif- ficulty in getting machinery, Canad- ian agricultural production at the end of 1942 stood at the highest point in history, he said. The agricultural program for this year has been, clearly outlined by the government, and calls for increases in all food crops except wheat and rye, Higher production is required in oats, barley, hay, clover, alfalfa, potatoes, and otter grains; white beans, soy beans, sunflower seeds, clover and grass seeds. Animal products in which in - increased production is required and beef, hogs, sheep, eggs, butter, and condensed, powdered and evaporated milk. The farm: policy is- threefold, Mr. Golding said. Needs of the armed forces have first call, Britain is to receive to the limit the available sup- ply, and Canadians must receive . a full share of the goods they produce. Realizing, lie said, that rulings by elle Wartime Prices and Trade Board have been annoying to many, the speaker assured the crowd that the board has tremendous problems and is always eager to discuss and rectify an error. Stating that the program. has been praised in all other allied nations, he said that there are "tre- mendous forces" at work to break this 00nt1101. Appealing for support foe the 1bo1110. he declared that "eve will alI he better off now and after the war if we maintain the control." bIr, Golding briefly discussed the white or navy bean situation, In the last war he understood there had been a good market for Henna, the price perhaps being quite high. For a considerable time after this war started, beans had been bought and soler of the epee mat•lret, but after repeated attempts, the Special products Board last fall succeerted in obtaining an agreement with Britain whereby that country would buy ell of this pr0riuct ' she required from Canada at 62.50 a 'bushel, He ex- pressed confidence that the centraet would prove beneficial. The Flon. Farquhar Oliver, intro- duced by James ivalleiityne, IILL.A., exlrreesed pleasure in the strides winch the Federation of Agrictilture has made and its possibilities for the and has sought to foster agricultural Production. "Maybe this is not enough," he said. "If agriculture has to compete with factories for labor, farmers must have increased sub- sidies for farm products." Mr. Oliver stated that he was definitely in favor of bonuses '``to allow farmers to pea - duce with a profit, and to keep their families in decency." In conclusion, Mr, Oliver urged the farmers to support the Federa- tion of Agriculture, not for them- selves alone but, for their country. "We cannot have a prosperous coun- try unless prosperity flows through the veins of the "farmers, -who are, after all, the backbone of the coun- try," Victory gardens - .and their import- ance were discussed briefly by L. E. Cardiff, M,P., who introduced Mr. Bracken. Mr. Cardiff also referred to the rationing system, emphasizing the need for co-operation with the authorities in complying with its rules. Reviewing Mr. Bracken's political career, Mr. Cardiff pointed out that he was born in Ontario and educated at Brockville, the Ontario Agricul- tural College, Guelph, and the Uni- versity of Illinois. He was professor of field husbandry in the University of Saskatchewan from 1910 to 1920, president of the Manitoba Agricul- tural College from 1920 to 1922, and premier of- Manitoba from 1922 until last year when he was elected head of the new Progressive Conservative party. Two of Mr. Bracken's sons are in the armed forces, Lieutenant J. B. in the Royal Canadian Navy, and Lieutenant George in the army, Stating that he "always feels at hone among farmers," Mr. Bracken expressed pleasure at being present al a farmers' gathering, particularly one sponsored by the Federation of Agriculture. 'Tor many years I did what I could to get farmers to org- anize," he said, "If farmers have not bad a fair show, the reason is that they have not been organized. Too often in public affairs, the farmers rlitl not speak at all; they, spoke: without wisdom or with a babel of tongues. The farmers must _ speak with one, voice, and no government will fail to rho what they ask," There are problems other than nvoduction in agriculture, the speaker felt, and one of these is to see that farmers get "move than one-sixth" of the nation's income, "That is not good enough for society or for us to leave to future generation," he said. Briefly reviewing his career since passing through this district 37 years ago as a young man, Mr, Bracken said that last fall when the challenge came, he decided to leave Manitoba because of the wider op- portunity in the federal field, "No provincial government can solve' the' basic problems of auriculture," he said. "They can be solved best in the federal field. Had it not been that a great party offered itself to serve agriculture, 1 would not be here today." Mr, Bracken spoke of the trip which he is making through the variousprovinces of Canada, stating that the experience. has been "inter- esting, informing and heartening," "Everywhere the spirit 01 the pee- ile is good, and the heart of the ration is sound," he said. "I haven't been going to melte speeches, but to listen; not; to answer questions, but to tisk them, T want to speak to you as a representative citizen of Canada in one of the most critical periods the ,nation has lived through," Speaking brleflx (0 the yarn!; peo- p la to the audience, Mt; 131'aoken urged 1110111 to "guard the greatest asset of all, your 110al(01; to achieve the most valuable investment that ann b0 made, eduoatiou; to develop strength of character and habits of industry, . '"We are: living in great . days, in inter'estmg, critical and challenging days," Mr. Bracken declared, Canad- ians are faced with "a war to win, a Peace to snake enduring and a post' war world to build," he stressed, 10 the First Great War, one out of 81101:7 10 S0ldier did not conte back, two out of every 10 were crippled and seeds of hatred and economic war Were sown which brought ou this, war.How many men are being sent this time, iter what the cost in lives will he, are not known, he pointed out. As to the cost in money, five thousand millions are being spent in prosecuting the war this year, '3 tinres the sum spent in the entire First Great Wan; "There are (we kinds of soldiers, those in- uniform and those in civil- ian garb," the speaker pointed out. "Our boys are accepting the Mak of greater sacrifice, but they cannot. win.without our help." Between the present time and the time when peace is negotiated, we have a tremendous responsibility, Mr, Bracken stressed. "Many men who were in the last war have sous over there today, We must ask our- selves whether, in 25 years, their sons will be sent to another war," The last peace organization was not given the strength it required to enforce the peace terns, he said. Next time there must . be an inter- national police force to see that no country is able to rearm, The "doct- rine of the inevitability of war" must be removed from the minds of the 80,000,000 Germans who believe in it. "We can win the war and lose the peace," the speaker reminded his audience. "The responsibility rests on you and me. What are we going to do to lay the basis for a new world?" Speaking to the workers, he said that they must make sure that every young man will have an opportunity to make a living after the war, at a fair rate of pay. Enterprise must be assured of fair treatment to avoid a totalitarian state, farmers must be given their share of the nation's in- come and social security must be as- sured to all. Speaking of social security, Mr. Bracken said that it could be put into effect if the enlarged war econ- omy, were maintained and developed. "We're doing it now in war," he 'de- clared. "Can we do it in peace? To- day all resources are being used, the necessary capital is being found, all are at work at fair rates of pay and the' national income is more than $8,000,000,000. If we can keep this high national income, we can raise the level of social security. "The responsibility rests on you' and me to bring a society of abund- ance where me* had a society of scarcity," he said. Science and mech- anization, he felt, would be of great assistance in doing this. "If we have intelligence and co- operation among the peoples of the world, if we prove that the philoso- phy of war is wropg and peace is right, we can have world abundance where now we have scarcity." Special demonstrations given dur- ing the day included a home canning demonstration of fruits and vege- tables without the use of sugar by Miss Edith Elliott, of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, Miss Elliott - also stressed the use of light syrups for canning as a means of stretching the special sugar allowed for canning this\season. They have experimented with these syrups and tlnd that they are quite satisfactory and that fruit canned in them is quite palatable. The syrups they rec- ommend .are similar to the war- time syrups which will be used in commercial canneries this year, Ac- cording to the consumer branch of the Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa, all fruits may be successfully canned without sugar. , Dr. A. R. Campbell, Hensall, was chairman in charge of the veterinary clinic arrangements, and discussed, poultry diseases. Dr.' F. Harburn, Seaforth, discussed warbles and ex- ternal parasites and .diseases of swine; Dr, Elliott, Clinton, conduct- ed post-mortems on swine, and Dr. S. Murray, Dublin, discussed shipping fever. The demonstration of labor-saving devises was under the chairmanship of Gordon McGavin, Walton. This included a display of tractor with drag saw and circular saw attaehed; stock -loader; mower with attachment for windrowing, a corn binder and a buck rake. The program began in the morn- ing when sports were held for the girls and boys.
