O.FOA. President
Says Agriculture
Political IF ootball
'Why must agriculture always
be a political football?" demanded
Gordon Greer, Ottawa, in his pres-
idential address to delegates at-
tending the 23rd annual conven-
tion of the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture in Toronto. "Somehow
a phobia has isolated agricultur-
al policy from our general attitude
that the most vigorous, sustained
and competent intelligence ap-
plied to a problem will eventually
yield results. Nobody is doing any

systematic and comprehensive pro-
bing for a new agricultural policy.
What we need is agricultural
statesmanship in ,government .
and in our own farm organiza-
tions." he stated.
Close to 500 delegates and mem-
bers respresenting the majority of
farm families, through their or-
ganizations, heard Mr. Greer re-
view current agricultural issues,
including the deficiency payment
program instituted already by the
federal government on eggs, and
by mid-January, on hogs. Mr.
Greer cited surplus production as
a real problem, and called on del-
egates to find ways to solve it.
He predicted the trend to larger
and fewer farms would continue,
but that the alert family farm will
survive. He predicted a general
economic boom for Canada, in
which the farmer was not likely
to share, and challenged federa-
tion members to find ways „ and
means to ensure a fair share for
the farmer. In concluding his
speech he called for total co-oper-
ation between farmers and their
farm organizations, • and greater
statesmanship in developing a new
and sound agricultural policy.
Members heard reports from
secretary -manager and treasurer,
H. M. Arbuckle, in which he re-
viewed the year's activities of the
OFA. The financial report show-
ed a small excess of revenue over
expense for 1958-59, and a budget
of $183,395 proposed for the com-
ing year.
The sessions continue until No-
vember 4.

Agriculture Shows Greatest Rise
In Productivity Per Worker
(By J. CARL HEMINGWAY)
Says the Bank of Commerce
"The achievement of a greater
productivity rise in agriculture
than in other industries is unques-
tionable."
Increased productivity per
worker in a number of industries
in the 1946-57 period is compared
in the following table:
Increase Percentage
Agriculture 51V
Mining 28
Manufacturing 32
Construction -10
Transportation 18 .
Public Utilities -15
Trade 1
Finance 37
Service 24
Fishing & Trapping .- 4
Average % of increase
In 1946 27,9 of Canada's em-
ployed labour force was in agri
culture. By 1957 this had dropped
to 14.5%.
It is disturbing, however, to
note that even with the great in-
crease in efficiency in the farm-
ing industry, the value of the out-
put per worker in agriculture lags
behind all other industries. The
Bank reports that dollar value of
products produced per man-hour
worked in agriculture is only, 58c
for 1957. Value man-hour output
of other industries in 1957 is:
mining $2.78; manufacturing
$1.45; construction .81c; transpor-
tation $1.62; public utilities $2.72;
trade $1.26; finance $4.39; ser-
vices $1.89; transportation $1.86;
and fishing and trapping $1,35,
In the light of this Bank report
perhaps we shouldn't be too criti-
cal of the Bank for being hesitant
in loaning money to fanners. If
farmers continue in this manner
for the next ten years what
chance is there that the Bank will
recover the money loaned? Farm-
ers, I think, are scraping the bot-
tom of the barrel as far as getting
labour at cost from their wives
and children and also in living on
the depreciation. of their farms
and buildings.
It is time that farmers are cal-
ling a halt to increased produc-
tion and directing that energy
that they used to advance their
