Roberts Speaks at Grey Federation Annual. W. P. Roberts, RR 2-, Seaforth, was guest speaker when the Grey Township Federation met for its annual meeting in Ethel Commun- ity Centre, on Wednesday, Jan. 11. President Jack Knight was chair- man for the meeting. "We are living in disquieting times," said Mr. Roberts. In all political meetings they talk about national health insurance, unem- ployment, atomic bombs, defence, but nobody mentions the farmer or agricultural problems. We are facing real dangers. Our Govern- ments are talking in terms of the family farm disappearing and governments are going so far as to be considering the closing of local schools. "Everyone is staging a cam- paign to degrade the farmer. We are told we ,must cut costs; told we must produce more at lesser cost; told we must be big to be an economic unit. Town people are being led to believe that they are being taxed to• pay subsidy to help keep small farmers on the farms. This," the speaker said, "was all bunk." During the Last depression, when all attempts at trying to discover the reason for the depression had failed, economic professors decid- ed the cause was low prices for farm products. "Because we do not have university education does not mean we are not educated. Many people here 'tonight, with only Grade 8 education, are better educated than some men with uni- versity training," stated Mr. Rob- erts. `Thomas Edison, who has given the world so much, and Rob- bie Burns, who wrote the immor- tal poems of humanity, each had only attended school three years. Economics may work in a fac- tory, but on a farm you are work- ing with living things. It is not the eye of the hired man, nor the manager that -fatteneth the • cattle, but the eye of the Master. Mass production, the speaker felt, could not be put successfully into agri- culture. The greatest strength of any na- tion is the spiritual strength of its people—people who see the strength and the Hand of God in 11111i1111111f1111111111111111111111111111111111 EUCHRE in Legion Hall, Seaforth Sponsored by Ladies' Auxiliary to the Canadian Legion WEDNESDAY, JAN. 25 8:30 p.m,, sharp ADMISSION 50c — Lunch provided ALL LADIES WELCOME !

The president, in his remarks, stated that six directors' meetings had been held during the year. The Federation had sponsored the Brussels 4-H Grain Club and had also assisted with the TB survey in July. An attempt had been made to organize a feeder ,steer club; however, due to lack of in- terest it had been dropped. He hoped, however, that possibly it might be held another year, as he felt it a quite worthwhile project.

To Develop Conservation Area Word has just been received that a 28 -acre site, three-quarters of a mile east of Ethel, will be develop- ed as a conservation area and park. The "Grove" as it is better known, was a formpr picnic site in the horse -and -buggy days and was the scene of many wiener and corn roasts. However, due'to lack of facilities it has not been used much in relent years. Present plans call for improvement to the existing woodlot, reforest some of the area, install a parking lot, and provide swimming facilities.

The meet- ing closed by repeating the Miz- HURON COUNTY FEDERATION NEWS By CARL In my article of last week where I was speaking of the fear of con flict between marketing boards and co-ops, one of the papers left ou a very small word—"not". My statement was "that the great fear of conflict seemed to be in the minds of those NOT closely connected with either the co-ops or marketing boards. What a dif ference in meaning one little word can make! Again, at a recent meeting the statement was made that the Hog Producers had claimed that they would stabilize the price over a. three-month period. If we think of a stabilized price as one that re- mains the same, we immediately see that a bidding method as is now in operation,could not do this. However, I feel quite sure that word was "equalize", not "stab- ilize", and this could be done by the H'og- Producers Marketing Board if the producers approved it. This could be done by the board simply paying you $25.00 per hundred for your hogs as an in- terim payment when you sell your hogs and then at the end of the three months dividing up whatever the hogs brought over that amount by the pounds of dressed weight and making a final payment to each producer on this basis. Another misuse of words seems to be "patronage dividends". There are those who take excep- tion to the fact that co-ops are not required to pay tax on this money. The reason given is that these are gifts, Since this money is return- ed to the patron, it is not a pro- HEMINGWAY fit to the Co-op, but is really a - price adjustment refund. In other words, it simply means that if the patrons do enough busi- ness with their co-op, the handling cost per unit is less and the co- • op has acquired- more Money over the year than it needed to oper- - ate and their over -charge is being returned. This is a common prac- tice in many corporations and this money, returned to dealers or cus- tomers is not taxable. The prin- ciple is right, but the interpreta- tion of the words is wrong. In these•times of stress and con- flict over marketing issues it is important that we use our words carefully. Perhaps on occasion it is wiser to just keep silent. It seems to me that a great deal of time is spent on the discussion of minor details while the main issues are overlooked. At a recent meeting the guest speaker made the statement that according to re- sults of a long study by an in- ternational group of economists, it was the depressed condition of farming that caused depression of the thirties, Why then is govern- ment following a policy of increas- ed tariffs which can only increase our agricultural surpluses and fur- ther depress the farming indus- try? White bean and wheat producers have been relatively' successful in disposing of their surpluses, Poul- try producers are endeavouring to do the same and it , is hoped FAME will also be successful to this end. If Government can't as- sist, at least they could stop throw- ing rocks. FIRST CHURCH CG1T First Church CGIT met with President Nora Gorwill presiding.

Directors of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture have ap- pointed an executive committee of county poultry producers to distri- bute data on a proposed vote on a marketing plan for eggs. The vote is expected to be held within the next few months, The committee will include fed- eration president Warren Zurbrigg, of Clifford; Carl Hemingway, Brus- sels, secretary-fieldman; Robert McKinley, of .Zurich; James Dun- bar, Wroxeter; Robert Broadfoot, Brucefield; George Underwood, Bluevale, and Charles Thomas, of Brussels. The federation took action to set up the committee after the poul- try producers' association reported it had no funds for the purpose. Mr. Zurbrigg was named the fed- eration delegate for the county to the first leadership training foruln to be held in this area at Gode- rich, January 19, 20 and 21. Robert McGregor, rof Kippen, reporting on .an executive meeting in Toronto of the beef producers, said the chairman of the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board indicated there was a "small chance for introducing a beef mar- keting plan until the hog situation was settled." Mr. 'McGregor also quoted the chairman as having stated that the Canada department of agriculture showed little interest in providing government grade' and weight con- trols for cattle sold on a dressed weight basis. The lady director of the federa• tion, Mrs. Alex McGregor, of Kip= pen, suggested. that, due to the dif- ficult economic position of farm- ers, farm women will be required to take a heavier load in active farm operation. Usborne Town- ship director, Horace Delbridge, said more women could attend the, county federation meetings and take more interest in farm prob- lems.
