THAN LAST YEAR CLINTON FEED MILL Two questions Were put to the Hon, Douglas Harkness, Peclerel Nfitester of Agriculture, b the 'discussion period after his address to the meeting of the Canadian .Pederation of Agriculture; First: How could the "Valls$eof the Canadian dollar be reduced so that agriculture would ee in a more favourable export position? Kr. Harkness didn't say whether or not• anything could be done About the value of the dollar but be did state that United States investors were investing large .amounts into developing industries ,and businesses in Canada and that this was good for industrial grow- th of our country. The fact that it is a detriment to agriculture was of no concern to the government, Second: Why should imports of pork be allowed into this country 'to further depress our prices • Mr. Harkness went to some length to explain that in recent .years American hogs were banned •due to a disease problem. This problem has now been. overcome ` sand there Is now no logical reason /or Canada to restrict imports; Mr. Harkness didn't point out Everyone,Reads The Classifieds that the United :States would have placed( restrictions on the imports of Canadian pork because of the deficiency paymente plan had the Caeadian government not .restricts ed our exports to the United States. • Also he didn't tell us that the pork that may come in will have been produced gn .government- subsidised feed. Apparently our government would have been much smarter if it had paid the farmer for each ton of feed used rather than on the finished hog. Then there would have been no need for the export licerse.. Canadian farmers., think, are willing to compete with United Ste-tea farmers but net the United States treasury. United States farmers received in direct subsidy $4.5 billion dollars. This means that for every dollar received by the Canadian farmer in the form 9f price supports his American . counterpart received $225. We can hardly stand this kind of competition. Since apparently we can expect little assistance from government We will have to hap 'ourselves. This we can do if we are willing to work together in the marketing of our products. We have- done it successfully in wheat and white beans. Let us extend our market- ing efforts to cover the rest of ' our products. If we work together it can be• done.
