. Menib.ers of the Farmers' Un-

among those who, took, part in
a recent march to Ottawa when

Seaforth Local were • George
Stone, John Henderson, Orville
Storey, John Glanville, Gerald
Van den Hengel, Carl Dalton.
and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Goven-
lock.
Mr. Stone, who is president
of Seaforth Local 284, made
notes and reports the event in
these words:
At last, •farmers after being
depressed for many - years by
the cost price -squeeze, decided
that action should be taken to
arouse the government and pub;
lie. of the exploited position
which the farmers of Canada
have been working under for
the past dozen years. It was,
therefore, decided that they
would make a mass march to

Ottawa.,
After much preparation, such
as obtaining over 30,000. signa-
tures on ' petitions, the word
game at last that we were to
meet in -the ballroom of the
Chateau Laurier, Hotel, Ot-
tawa, on. April "'28, at 9 .a.m:
•
In order to -do this, the Sea-
forth group 'had to drive .to
Guelph to catch a special train
to Ottawa. There, over 500
others met them, and ' the
crowded station and .platform
reminded me of troop move-
ments in the war year. This
special train left Guelph about
11 p,ni., April 21, and picked
up pasrsengers from there to
Ottawa, where others arrived
by train from the three West-
ern Provinces, and from other"
parts of Ontario, by bus, mak-
ing a total of 1 about 1800.
Our train arrived in Ottawa
just in time for the farmers to
get their breakfast 'before as-
sembling.in the ballroom of the
Chateau Laurier. Many farm-
ers were amazed when order-
ing breakfast to see that the
eggs they sold laat winter for
less than two cents each, were
worth $1.00.. friend and -put on
a •plate in the restaurant of
the Chateau Laurier.
After' breakfast we went to
our seats in the ballroom to
await' the arrival of our pro-
vincial presidents and repres-
entatives from the government.
But...there was not enough room
in the ballroom and hundreds
had to stand four deep along,
the Walls, and the. corridors and
lobby were also filled. Some
even invaded the privacy of
the photographers' and report-
ers Who were stationed in the
box seats in the balcony above.
At the head of the room were
the Farm Union presidents
from Ontarig, Manitoba, . Sas-
katchewan and Alberta; presi-
dent of the National Farmers'
Union, lady president of ' the
Ontario Farmers' Union, presi-
dent of the Federation of May-
ors, a minister of the .Protest-
ant faith, and a priest from the

present the G9vernment• of
Canada.
Present Brief . f'
Our , Ontario president, Zahn.
Dolmer, .read olir subiinission 0.,
the government rePresetltatives,
This was a 1.7. -page brie# t ni
consisted mostly. of iii P7EPkeet'
tion of the situation.,a Cera,
were being faced with in the
most price squeeze. The brief
contended that agrienitural
prices 'keep going lower lind
lower,
j althetterot;ghand the betdteualityr,wl} lehas
. l
the things we buy keep" ging,
higher and higher in -prig, and
the quality poorer and poorer,
The Canadian farmer has been
subsidizing the people. with.,
cheaper and better food.
The brief went on to suggest
that farm income has not been
keeping pace with the rise in
income among non -agriculture
sections of the economy. In
.1963, farmers' income was 54%
above 1949, while incomeof
salary workers was increased
by 94%. Measured in Constant,
1949 dollars, incomes in agri-
culture had increased by 13%,
while incomes in' non-agricui.
tore . oecupations had increased
by 46%. If an allowance on
capital return was deducted
from-, farmers' income, the in-
crease in current dollars was
21% and in constant dollars
there was a decline of 10%.
The average farmers' wage af-
ter allowing 5% on capital in-
vestment was $2,015 in 1951,
and $1261 in 1964 (source:
D.B.S. " Farm, Income . Statistics
Census of Canada).
After this lengthy brief was
submitted, it was asked that
the federal government take
immediate action to help bring
a parity 'of income to the fam-
ily farm 4n the form of a de-
ficiency payment on a limited
amount: of produce per farmer.
When Mr. Dolmer had finish-
ed, others in the official party
spoke on behalf of and sympa-
thizing with the farmer.
Minister Will Help
Honourable Harry Hays, the
Minister, of Agriculture, was
then given the chair, .and • dar-
ing a lengthy speech he told
the farmers that he was on
their side; that he knew all
about farming and their prob-
lems; that he was a farmer in
-the-West, and also owned farins
in . the east; that he had been
hand-picked by Mr. Pearson as,
a man qualified to hold the
position as Minister of Agricul-
ture to go ahead and handle
agriculture affairs •to his best
judgment. He said he would
db his utmost to better condi-
tions for the farmer.
After the meeting adjourned
in the Chateau Laurier, a mass
march was made . up ' Parlia-
ment Hill to the Parliament
Buildings, where a few of us
were able to obtain seats to
witness a session of parliament.
It was here that we first saw
Mr. Pearson. As he had not
beenpresent at the morning
assembly of the farmers' in the
Chateau Laurier, one member
of the opposition, during -a
question period in the • session,
asked • him what he, intended,
to -do about the requests that
farmers had made that morn-
ing. Mt. Pearsbn assured the
session that the situation was
in good heads, . and Mr. 'Hays
would proceed immediately to
carry on', an extensive program
ifj aid of the farmers. a
