THE SEAFORTH NEWS
THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1934
yOU HAVE READ OF RUSSIA.
You know what farming in the land.of the. Soviet
has become.
State collectivization with industrialization the
supreme goal, has made the farmer little better than the beasts
of the field, the hewer of wood and the drawer of water to
the more favored classes, those to whom communism looks
for the ultimate success of its state industrialization experi-
ment.
FARMERS MUST BE FREE
Ontario wants no "swing to the left". Its farmers must.be
left free. The men who, in 102, produced $22u,446,000 of
this province's wealth, cannot be made the stepping atone for
some radical experiment in state industrialization.
Farmer though he is, Ontario's Liberal leader is prepared to
sacrifice his own friends, to betray his fellow workers in the
fields in a- frantic bid for control of Ontario's vast natural
wealth.
By iris own confession he "swings well to the left", towards
the land where the communists, the socialists and the radicals
dwell.
HIS OWN WORDS
Accept his own words to the electors of West York on May
14, 1932.
'1 swing well to the left where some Grits do not tread."
Or take his speech to St. Thomas voters on February 11,
1933, Then the C.C.F., its ideals not yet analyzed, its
impossible -to -be -achieved dreams still unexploded, ?tad seized
briefly on a part of the public imagination, Mr. Hepburn
saw in it another opportunity for a bid for power at the
expense of the solid, producing classes of the province. So
seizing his opportunity, reckin, nothing of what such a pro-
gramme would mean, he said, in all the enthusiasm of his
inexperience:
"The C.C.F. is an example of this realignment of
political thought. It is the latest move in Radicalism. I
sympathize with the people who make up the ranks of the
C.C.F. They are trying, at least, to find a way out,"
Signed:
THE
STAGNATION AND MORTIFICATION
Ontario's Liberal leader would cut the cost of government
fifty per cent, - -
A tall order, but quite possible if Mr, Hepburn and his
party are prepared -to sacrifice progress and give the people of
Ontario stagnation and mortification.
'J o cid his expenditures Ontario's Liberal leader, among
other "economies' woad wipe out the Ontario Department
of Agriculture.
Be has placed himself on record to effect this.
The Toronto Globe, in reporting his speech at a banquet
in Toronto on December 13, 1932, says:
"'lire departments of Game and Fisheries, AGRICUL-
TURE, Labour, and Mines, the Motion Picture Bureau,
Research }Pork and Colonization were a few which Mr.
Hepburn cited as instances where curtailment or ABANDON -
NEXT of one service could be effected without Alerting
administration."
WHAT OF THE FARMER?
Possibly administration would not suffer.
But what would happen to the farmer?
Where would he be with his overseas selling agent gone
merely to set up a record for low spending?
Would it be true economy to wipe out, at one enthusiastic
gesture, the agricultural research which makes available to
every farmer, without money and without price, all the
resources of science, skill, knowledge and experience for the
enlarging of output and the improvement of quality at lower
operating costs?
WOULD THESE HELP?
Would it help the farmer to wipe out the department which
held, for farmers and farm women, in 1933, a total of 93
courses in agriculture and home economics at as many centres
throughout the province?
Would the monetary saving justify the elimination in every
county of the trained agricultural representative, the man to
whom the farmers look for advice in cases of plant or stock
disease?
Through abandonment of the Ontario Department of
Agriculture, Ontario's Liberalleader would abandon the.
Ontario Marketing Board.
Can the Ontario farmer afford to be without this board, or
would its abandonment be another of the Costly Economies
which Mr, Hepburn proposes.
The Ontario Marketing Board knew that fruit produced in
Ontario was good fruit, but it knew also that it was not
reaching outside markets in a way which made 'potential
buyers aware of its goodness. Through co-operation with
fruit growers, cooling places and a grading system were estab-
lished.
In 1939, the year this policy was decided on, Ontario sold
65 carloads of apples beyond its own boundaries.
In 1933, after ten cooling places had been established,
sales in Great Britain alone totalled 450,000 barrels, val-
ued at $1,0S0,000,
In addition to this, there were correspondingly large sales
on the continent of Europe and in the Canadian West,
In the same five years the export of pears and plums grew
from practically nothing to more than 100,000 packages,
This is one service rendered by the Henry Government
which the Ontario Liberal Party would wipe out in its effort
to make good on the rash "economy" promise of its leader:
LIBERAL -CONSERVATIVE
ASSOCIATION OF ONTARIO
But this is only a small part of what the Ontario Marketing
Board, product of the 'progressive Conservative administra-
tion, has done for the farmer.
PRICES WENT UP
F
In 1932 it saw another opportunity and this year saw
Ontario Brewers who had abandoned Ontario barley
using 1,000,000 bushels of the Ontario product at a price
$150;000 above the current market quotation.
The board turned to the problems of the turnip grower.
As a result of its first season's work the board obtained one
contract for 1932 for 40,000 bushels and the price obtained
now by the farmers is between 50 and 100 per cent. better
than before the board became interested in the situation.
Export sales of cattle in 1933 for the whole of Canada
totalled 50,317 head, valued at $3,189,194. Aggressive sales
methods of the Ontario Marketing Board were responsible for
TWO-THIRDS , OF THIS TOTAL -31,733 - HEAD,
VALUED AT $2,014,471—GOING FROM ONTARIO,
What the Ontario Department of Agriculture and its sub-
sidiary, the Ontario Marketing Board -the Department which
Liberal Leader Hepburn would wipe out—has' done for the
bacon industry needs no comment. The figures speak for
themselves. -
BACON SALES JUMPED
In 1932 Ontario sold thirty million pounds of Bacon in the
British. Market. In 1933 the figure has grown to .10,0 00000
pounds, AND THE FIRST FIVE MONTHS O 1934
HAVE BROUGHT INCREASED BACON RETURNS OF
MORE THAN $15,000000 TO TI -115 FARMERS 01? THIS
PROVINCE,
Export of dressed poultry has grown from a -negligible figure
to a total, in 1933, of 11,226,098.
To improve live stock herds of the province it agreed to
pay twenty per cent, of the cost of pure bred sires. In 1932
alone there were 430 applications and $37,000 was paid. In
the five years 442 approved herd sires were sent into Northern
Ontario. On these the Ontario Government paid 30 per r cent.
of the cost, plus the freight,
Efforts of thedepartment and co-operation of dairymen
have improved the quality of the 86,000,000 pound annual
production of Cheddar cheese from 89 per cent, first quality
in 1424 to 96 per cent, first quality in 1932 and Ontario
Cheddar Cheese now brings a premium of from two to three
cents over cheese from other countries.
Ontario is the only province which loans money to farmers
on the security of their lands and chattels, In 1933 it loaned
in round figures, $6,700,000 to 3,415 applicants.
PLEDGED TO ELIMINATION
This is the department which Mitchell Hepburn, leader
of Ontario's Liberal Party, has pledged himself to elimi-
nate.
In one fell swoop he would wipe out a department
which has done more than anything else in the Dominion
of Canada to see the farmers of this Province through the
period of agricultural depression.
Ontario cannot afford the loss of its Department of
Agriculture.
Ontario must have construction under the progressive
Henry Administration.
Destruction under Liberal leader Hepburn would mean
ruin,
