Federation of Agriculture at the
annual dinher meeting held Wed
nesday night at Winthrop, Rev.
A. H. Dariard of Staffa, said
"The objectives of agriculture
and the different programs• tri-
ed and all put together,= have
not secured a satisfactory in-
come for farm people." He had
attended -the .Vineland _ -confer.
ence and gave a detailed re-
port, stressing the fact that old
farmers won't quit, but young
ons will. He forsees a shortage
of food as there are not enough
farmers and their ' i h ome is
too low. Noting several meth-
ods used with their results, for
better prices, he said he feels
that productive payments on a
percentage basis would have to
be tried.
