Ii, Christian, FEDERATION NEWS By J. Carl Hemingway At the end of the year, as I write this, I am forced to review the events of the past. It has been said that success in the future depends on ability to avoid repetition of mistakes in the past. That we as farmers have made mistakes in the past there is lit- tle doubt. When we were given a support price of $25 for hogs we were too enthusiastic and paid dearly for our enthusiasm. Fortunately most hog producers weathered the storm without too much injury, but few of us would like to repeat the experience. With a floor price of 17c for milk powder we managed to put that industry into a situation that is still quite painful. We would do well to recognize our weaknesses. I think we need to admit that we are the descen- dants of that part of the popula- tion of the old lands that was just a little more daring, more energetic, more confident, more ambitious and more impatient than those who stayed in the home lands. We perhaps should also admit that we are a little more short-sighted. I wonder how many of our problems could be linked to these characteristics. In the broiler in- dustry it was these qualities that made us jump from one hundred to a thousand, to ten thousand, to fifty thousand,; It is said that we take three steps forward and then two back. To me the broiler industry is taking the two steps, back, as is the dairy industry at the moment. Hog producers per- haps have accomplished this and are again ready to step ahead. Beef men are apparently going from the second to the third step. I wonder if it was the cautious people who stayed at home that has enabled Sweden to now have the second highest standard of living, surpassing Canada, who is now in third place. The passing of the horse in fa- vor of the tractor was inevitable, but would we not have been bet- ter off if it had taken a little longer? An article in the Family Her- ald which stated "Under its new minister, Bill Stewart, Ontario's Dept. of Agriculture is set to launch a massive campaign aim- ed at inducing Ontario farmers to increase feed grain production by 20 per cent. The biggest rea- son is fear that Western Canada will have another short crop." Doesn't this "massive cam- paign" fit in exactly with the characteristic listed that has pro-' ven our downfall in the past? Is fear a good foundation on which to base constructive thinking. I have long advocated that On- tario farmers should base their farm operation more closely to the production of their land but it should be a balanced produc- tion. If the west gets rain in June and July to up their yields will Ontario farmers have oats at $30 a ton again? If feed grain is short and "Buttercup" has to eat hay it might well solve our but- ter surplus problem. Produce good crops, yes, but let's remem- ber our weaknesses.
