Father, Son Agreement Necessary IfJoint FarmTa ReSuceess--Forums SS. No. 2, McKillop, Forum S.S. No. 2, McKillop, Farm For- am met Monday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Secord Mc- Brien- After listening to the radio broadcast, there was a good dis- cussion on the subjecl, "Father and Son Partnership.! d detailed agreement is basic to successful farm partnerships. Al- so father and son on the farm must be able to get along well to- gether and co-operate to make any agreement workable. Father and son partnership should give con- sideration to farm operations, and faun transfer at an early date, and an agreement drawn up so that each will have a satisfactory income if farm conditions warrant It. Euchrewas played for a time and lunch was served by the hos- tess and helpers. The next meeting will be held ,at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. McMillan on Monday evening. Mullett Farm Forum The Mullett Farm Forum held their weekly meeting, on Monday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Watson with sixteen crent. After listening to the dcast, a news letter was read by Ml's. F. Walters, entitled, "Father. and Son Partnership in Saskatchewan." Two groups were formed for dis- cussion on the topic, "Father and Son Partnerships." Question 1: What do you consider are the most important points to be taken into consideration in drawing up a father -son partnership? Answer: Books and records should be kept very carefully; /ability to.get along with each eth- er; enough assets to provide ade- quate living 'for two families and labor contributed to be consider- ed. What arrangementsshould be >nnde in the partnership to provide for thetransfer of the farm busi- ness tO the son? Answer: Regard• less of arrangements for the trans - fee of protle ;;'tire son and family partner r•� 'ninust be protected to the'"cx of Its share in the property, How many nye nbers in • your 1F'orunt have 'father -son business .arrangeMend 't.. Answer: On e pari t A seei'al�hour wag`Speet playing euchre, after' 'which" lunch was served. The meeting closed with "The Queen." Fireside'' 'Para Forum The Fireside Farina Forum Met the home of r: Men Erie . ,..at. M adiltt Anderson With 10 'ad lts r ..,.t, � a p esetr The"WOO oic the broadcast was, "Father and Son Partnership." Co-operation is the first essen- tial. Both father and son should be willing and able to give and take. Both should be fully inform- ed of each others assets and lia- bilities for income tax purposes. The arrangement should take a legal slant, but as long as both are willing to co-operate, verbal agreement should suffice. -Mow- ever, in some cases it is advisable to have a lawyer draw up a mutual agreement. ,The family farms will probably lok better after it is considered as a unit. Euchre winners were: high, Mrs. Harvey Taylor and Bert Hoggart; Ione hands, Mrs. James Howitt and M. Riley; • low, Mrs. Joseph .Bab- cock and Eldon Riley. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Hoggart have invitee the forum to meet at their home next week. Parr Line Forum Parr Line Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Adkins Monday evening with 29 adults and four children present. Topic for discussion was Father and Son Partnership" Question 1: "What do yi con- sider are the most impo . ant points to be taken into consi.": 'a - tion in drawing up a father- `� • . partnership?" Answer: First, there should be co-operation between father and son. There should be a witnessed agreement signed by both father and son- They should have separ- I ate bank accounts. We consider a 50-50 basis as being good. A father should start his son with some small project,''such as raising a calf or pigs, thins teaching him re- sponsibility, besides giving him a quantity of spending money. We think 4-H Clubs are helpful, in teaching young people these things. We feel, perhaps, that a 100 -acre farm would not be large enough tet. support two families, thus melting it necessary to buy more land. Question 2: "What arrange- ments should be made in the part- nership • to provide for the transfer of the farm business to the son?" Answer: Written agreements are necessary. As to how these agreements should be made would depend on the individuals concern- ed. The father should have a will. Question 3: "How many mem- bers in your forum have father - son business arrangements?" An- swer: None in this forum. The forum played progressive euchre, the winners being: •lad- ies, Mrs. Henry Adkins and Miss Margaret Mousseau; gents, Ivan Reichert and John Soldan. The ht; ess served lunch. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dav- id Bailey. The topic for discus- sion will be, "Government or Pro- ducer Marketing." • MEMBERS of tire Dublin McKillop and.
