Frame New Policies
To Assist •Family Farm
A minimum average family
farm income as the main ob-
jective for a national agricul-
ture - policy for Canada was re-
cently proposed in the House
of dommone- bY`. Agri -culture,
Minister Harry. Hays. •
Speaking in t h e throne
speech debate on April 13, Mr.
Hays said;
• "I believe the primary ob-
jective of all our agricultural
programs should be to 'encour-
age e•hational average realized
net income for the family farm
.equiValent tii' the national av-
erage industrial wage I think
this should be our definition of
an economic family farm unit."
Mr. Hays pointed out that
the current, national average. in-
dustrial wage is about $4,500
a year. This compares with a
national • average realized net
income for Canadian farmers
in 1964 of about $3,800—a dif-
ference 'of $700.
Mr. Hays said the federal
Overnment "is developing- a
omprehensive national policy
or agriculture" to ensure that
Canada does not become de-
pendent on world markets for
its main food supplies.
While he did not go into
details, the Minister' offered a
hint of the dir,ect int in which
he believes an irieoine`-based na-
tional policy for Canadian agri-
culture will lead.
"I believe the direction we
will be moving „with the 'pro-
posed National Dairy Commis-
sion should provide a guide for
-approaches to income and mar-
keting problems in other areas
of agriculture in the future.
He also suggested that a
federal -provincial program will
soon have'. to be considered for
purchaSe of poorly used lands
and 'their- redevelopment into
economic family farm units.
These could then be sold or
leased back to individual farm-
ers who coultU,then expect to
at least 200 acres of land and
make a decent living On them.
Mr. Hays added:
"The government intends to
develop, in- co-operation with
the provinces, a' national agri-
cultural program based on eco-
nomic principles which, as far
as possible, can be placed. be-
yond the reach rIf political ex-
pediencies.
"This program, , must ensure
a stable suPply •of- food for our
consumers at reasonable prices.
It must recognize the legitimate
interests in our domestic mar-
ket of our trading partners. But
it must also recognize the right
of., every farmer in this coun-
try to an income that is: more
closely equivalent to what the
workers in our towns and cities
enjoy.
"We now have, labor laws
guaranteeing minimum wages
for our workers. We have tar-
iffs •and _lax incentives for our
businessmen. It's time we
started thinking of a minimum
'income. for, our farmers."
Mr. Hays noted that Since be-
coming titc-Mrittilture,'
he has personally•Studied agri-
CUltural programs in ten coun-
tries. .
,"From what. I have learned it
is my considered Opinion that
.danada today is. behind most°
of those countries in establish-
ing policies that will ensure a
strong, economically -sound food
prodiiction industry for the ex-
panded populatiOn we will have
the future.
"Vithere we ate most behind
is in establishing a comprehen-

lems in two words — low in-
come. This is the core of the
problem we have to deal with
in all our agrictilture policies."
Mr. Hays said the first ma-
jor step in developing a na-
tional agriculture policy was an
expansion of farm credit facili-
ties, to enable the famil3f farm
to expand to its rightful level
of profitability. This- had been
achieved in the following ways:
• 1. Maximum loans available
from the federal Farm Cxedit
.Corporation were doubled, to
$40,00Q for unsupervised and
$55,000 for supervised loans:
2. Fine -print changes made it
easier for a father to pass on

your home and your cherished
possessions, gutted by fire.
"Therewill be fewer ehances
of accidents to • toddlers and
elderly persons since. you will
have followed Clean -Up safety
suggestions.
"Your children will learn the
thrill of working together for
a • common goal, and you will
have increased enjoyment from
living in clean, attractive sur-
roundings.
