This may be partly due to the fact that, from the beginning of time, the public seems always to have hated a landlord and loved a farmer. For this reason there is fairly widespread support for the assistance which the govern- ment may give to farmers, even though the voting strength of the farm bloc has shrunk considerably. It is interesting to note, in this respect, just how the gov- ernment became involved in the farm industry. Since grain is one of the largest single sources of income in the country, it is not unexpected that government aid has been and continues to be forthcoming in this area. It was in the 1920's that the first steps were taken by the farmers themselves to protect the industry against the ups and downs of the grain market. It was imperative that some act- ion be taken for, in case you are not connected with the farm industry, agriculture is especially prone to fluctuations in the market. When things are good, they are good. When things are bad, they are really bad. EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY MEN OR WOMEN FULL OR PART TIME Turn your spare time into cash.

At any rate, in order to imp- rove upon the way grain was being marketed, some ente r - prising Western farmers set up the Grain Growers' Grain Comp- any to market their product on the Winnipeg Wheat Exch- ange. During the lean 30's the government stepped in and set up the wheat board, which offered to buy grain (at "emerg- ency" prices. This was just another way of setting a min- imum price and any farmer likes to think that he is going to get at least so much for his efforts. Because the world wheat prices dropped so much during this period, the govern- ment found that its "emerg- ency" price was higher than the market price, and the Board ended up by buying most of the wheat produced by the farm- ers. During World War II, the government took over the whole operation. It bought all the wheat from the farmers at a fixed price and made deals with various foreign buyers to sell at a fixed price. Sometimes, due to the uncertainties of the market, the Board has been un- able to get as much for the wheat as it paid the farmers and it made up the difference by a sort of subsidy. Until 1967 the prices were set by an Internat- ional Wheat Agreement but since that time there has been a bit of trouble in getting a fixed price. However, since Canadian wheat is generally of high quality, our country has had fewer troubles in selling wheat than have our chief com- petitors: France, U, S., Argent- ina and Australia. At the present time the gov- ernment sets the price received by the farmer and also has a hand in setting world prices. It exercises, in addition, firm control over railway and storage facilities. It has, of late, attempted to control acerage, somewhat like the tobacco industry, so that farmers would not grow too much wheat and add to the not inconsiderable amount we already have on hand. Given the world situation, it is hard to see how any amount of wheat could be grown and successfully marketed at all, Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER Cars are often stolen simply to get at the valuables inside. Better lock them in the trunk, out of sight. If your engine suddenly develops a clicking noise, chances are a valve lifter is sticking. Minor matter if repaired right away. Just as much a menace as the drunk driver is the "two -beer, feelin'-good" driver, who loses just enough inhibition to proceed with reckless abandon. * Last year, seat belts were available to 4 out of every 5 car passengers.
