CANADA PACKERS' HEAD
VIEWS FARM PROBLEMS
An address by Mr. J. S. McLean, Presideet of Cannella Packers
Limited
At a recent meeting of the
,,ions Club in Clinton, Ontario,
]fir. 3. S. McLean, President of
Canada. Packers, discussed a prob-
lem of vital importance to every
fernier in Canada - farm econ-
orny: the profit and loss of farm-
ing at the present time and the
conditions with which the farmer
may be confronted when the war
i over.
Comparing key farm prices :n
the years 1933 to 1942, Mr. Mcc-
l.eftn said that the gross agricul-
tural production in Canada in-
creased by 164 percent and the
Bash income of agricultural pro-
duction, in the same period, in-
otreag1 by 193 percent.
A I:proximately the same nuni-
be of farms were in operation in
I.933. as in 1942. The number of
peer ns employed was probably
less in 1942. In spite of ibis
fact. the income per farm was
$1,C00.00 more than in 1933.
In these times, Mr. McLean
said, the farmer's mind is easy in
one very important respect. i'Ie
leaows there will be a'aready mar-
ket for everything he can produce
but a time will come when world
food production will get back to
rlei'mal. What will then happen
to Canadian agriculture?
(h) Another artificial method
is that of Governmental subsi-
dies. This expedient has been
widely used in Canada within the
last three years. Subsidies began
on wheat, and are now extended
-so butter, cheese, hogs and sev-
eral other farm products. Total
Agricultural subsidies paid by the
Dominion Government in the year
1942 amounted to 60 million dol-
lars.
Subsidies
The drawback of subsidies is
that they have to he taken from
other groups of the community,
and they are therefore uncertain
and are likely to be cut off at -
'the time when they are needed
MOM.
Farmers do not refuse subsidies
when they are offered. However,.
I think it is true to say they have
an underlying feeling that this
type of assistance can not per-
manently benefit them.
Natural Economic Methods
(2) Other methods of main-
taining prices I have referred to
as "natural economic methods:
These must be the outgrowth of
the underlying conditions of Can-
adian Agriculture. These condi-
tions may be summarized as fol-
lows: -
(a) Because of its wide Agri -
'cultural areas and its relatively
• sparse population, Canada pro-
duce, and must Continue to pro-
duce, a large Agricultural sur-
plus.
(b) A. surplus can exist in a
primary form (e.g. wheat), or it
may be converted from a primary
to a secondary form (e.g. wheat
may be converted to live stock,
dairy products, poultry, etc.) An
enlightened Agricultural polieee .
involves the conversion of the
total surplus to the forms in which
it can most readily be marketed.
(c) When a surplus exists of
any one crop, the price obtainable
abroad for that surplus is the
chief factor in determining the
price which the producer receivers
for the total crop.
(Example: the price of all the
wheat is determined chiefly by
the price received for the surplus
at Liverpool; the price of all the
hogs is determined: chiefly by the
price received for Wiltshire Bacon
at London.)
(d) If a surplus of any crop
exist,% which can not be cleared,
the price of that crop is bound
to be depressed. (e.g., wheat in
the last twelve years.)
' Maintaining Prices
Out of the above factors, there
emerges. what may be called ag
natural economic method of main-
taining Agricultural prices in
Canada. It is: --
(1) To secure markets abroad,
at satisfactory prices, for Can-
ada's total Agricultural surplus.
(2) To convert that surplus
into the .forms in which markets
can most readily be secured.
At the present time, these con-
ditions exist, (with the modified
exception of ..wheat) .. And, as a
result, Agriculture in Canada is
in a prosperous condition.
Post-war Solution
How Can similar conditions be
maintained in the poet -war per-
iod? size of the
"Co begin with, the
problem can be reduced by in -
Post -war Reconstruction
'An enlightened Agricultural
policy must keep in mind the fact
fbat one-third of Canada's popula-
lion lives on her farms. The wel-
fare of this large part is clearly
ran important factor in the wel-
fare of the whole. Phrased in
purely economic Ianguage, the
jipurchasing power of the farm '.
groups is one of the most im-
portant elements in the total
economy of the country.
How can the welfare of Cana-
dian Agriculture be advanced?
dor, otherwise, how can Agricul-
tural depressions be avoided?
Depressed Conditions
Depressed conditions, when
they occur, derive from two main
causes: -
(a) Crop failures. These are
spasmodic, and local. Neverthe-
less, they sometimes assume major
proportions. Fortunately, this is
not true of our own Province. In
Ontario we have never suffered
from crop failures on a disastrous
reale.
(b) The other cause of depres-
alon is Iow prices. All of us here
eon recall at least two prolonged
periods in which the things which
the farmer produced could not be
exchanged for an adequate quan-
i}ity of the things which he had
do buy. In such periods, even
*hose farmers with good crops are
doomed to a low standard of liv-
ing, And the whole economy suf-
fers from. the farmer's lack of
purchasing power.
Price Levels
The obligation of the Govern -
merit towards Agriculture is, if
possible, to set up conditions in
which prices of farm products are
maintained at an adequate levels
Policies' for maintaining farm
prices fall into two classes, which
may be designated: -
(1) 'ad hoc' or artificial meth -
ode.
(2) Natural economic methods.
Artificial 1Vlethocls
(1) Examples of 'ad hoc' or
etrtifieial methods* are as fel-
lows: --
(a) The restriction of produc-
*.ion. The object of such expedi-
ents is to advance prices lay re-
ducing supplies. Recent examples
of this method were the killing of
millions of young pigs and of fe-
Male cattle in the United States
in the years 1932 and 1933. Also
*the cutting down of wheat aere-
eige in the United. States and Can-
. lada. in the, last few years.
life instinctively feel that to
tut down production is the worst
way of correcting low prices.
production is the worst way e►f
tori seting low prices.
•
creasing home eonsuinption and
thereby diminishing the surplus
which must be exported.
To the extent that it can be
applied, this is the simplest.solu
tion, as it lies entirely within the
control of Canadian authorities.
Moreover, on other grounds this
policy is highly desirable in it-
self, for it involves improvement
in our standards of nutrition and
thereby the enhancement of the
chief national asset, -the health
and efficiency of the Canadian
people.
However, even if a perfect and
balanced standard of nutrition
should be established in Canada,
a large surplus of food will still
exist which will have to be ex-
ported beyond our borders.
This problem would be pro-
gressively simplified as standards
of nutrition were improved in all
other countries, - an end 'also
highly desirable in itself. The
peoples of the world could easily
consume all the food which could
be produced. •
This phase of the solution in-
volves international movement of
foods .on a scale much greater
than ever before. Facilities for
such movement would have to be
provided by arrangements be-
tween Governments.

Type of Agreements
And one of the most useful
studies for the post-war period is
the type of agreements between
Governments which will best as-
sist such movement in the period
just following the war, and, stage
by stage, later.g',s+4
From the millions oi people,
particularly in Europe, who will
have been suffering for years,
from varying degrees of food
shortage, there will be an eager
demand for all the foods, especi-
ally protective foods, which are
en hand and which can be pro-
duced within the first year, per-
haps within the first two years.
But Governments will have to
arrange the financing of such
movement. At the beginning,
probably the movement will be
effected by individual long -terns
credits granted by the exporting
county to the importing country.
One idea emerges upon which
the optimist likes to dwell; -viz..
that the policy which best pro-
vides for human needs seems also
the most practical as a solution
of our economic perplexities.
If somehow we can manage to
establish a universal minimum
standard of nutrition, perhaps the
problem of fares prices may find
its own solution.
In the salve way, if we can
succeed in keeping everyone em-
ployed, we need not spent. much
time thinking out systems of re-
lief and unemployment insurance..
They will not be needed.

The Sunday School lesson was
from 2 Kluge, xxii, and read:
"J'oalali was eight years old when
he began to reign, and he: reigned
thirty and one years in Jerusa-
lem."
Ol?, deaacribing the lesson to his
mother, John; aged five, said:
4`The lesson was about a good

named Josiah, and it began" to

he was thirty-one it was still

"I get wonderful. recipes,"
gushed the bride, who was en-
tertaining her family for the

"Which is this?" asked little
Willie, tasting the stew with which
he had just been served.
"it's the little things in Life
that tell;" said the sister as
she yanked her small brother
from -under the chesterfield.
