A brief history of Farm Forum was given by Mrs, Storr, secretary-manager. In 1941-42 season there were 430 forums, in 1950-51, 875 forurns and this year we, will start with 276 Farm Forums, Much effort is being put . into the program to increase the numbers but so far has been unsuccessful. Many rea- sons could be advanced but I am wondering if the real reason is the fact that many forums have fulfilled their need locally and therefore have lost interest. Many forums have successfully organized their Coop, or built a community centre or some other local project Hemingway) and have• felt that there was no- thing more to be accomplished. They have felt too small to matter in larger fields. This is unfortunate since they have from the smallest of beginnings achiev- ed great results, Co-Operators. In- surance Association is one out- standing benefit to the people of Ontario. This was the result of Farm Forum. At the moment farmers are hay- ing a difficult time, The govern- ment gave some assistance through support prices but according to government statement this was costing too much money. This in spite of the fact that they have set aside 250 million dollars to help the farmer. Only a very small percentage of this was ever Used but because even this was too much they have turned to defic- iency payments to reduce the amount given to agriculture. Had the government sincerely wanted to help the average farmer they would have paid deficiency pay- ments on the limited quality of eggs, for example, on a support price basis of possibly 50 cents per dozen A large eggs, Certainly deficiency PaYments on a support price basis .of 31 cents isn't going to provide any significant income to the small producer. Similarly, if we are to have deficiency pay- ments on hogs let it be on 100 hogs with a support price basis of $30. Again with a base price of $22,64 no important income will be given to smaller farmers. This might well be a topic for discussion but I am.convinced that any worthwhile help for farmers from the government is in the dim and distant future. I am also sure that there is an opportunity for a very real improvement in farmers' net income through the marketing and handling of their own product. Farm Forum provides us with the means of gathering ideas on this problem and by combining these the project will be a success, Farm forums that have accomplished their aims locally need only raise their sights to accomplish even greater things on a much larger scale, 0 Have You Renewed?
