CELEBRATION PLANNED FOR SCHOOL IN ELMA Plans to celebrate the 50th anniver­ sary of SS 11, Elma School are being (discussed by a Farm Forum group of the school, The' celebration will be held in the summer, No date has yet been set. Much work must be done on this as the back history of the school and community must be traced from old records, as to the first settlers, build­ ers of the school, materials for the building, first pupils and first teach­ ers and teachers up and to the present time. Prices Support Costs Since the release of Mr. Harris’ lat­ est financial estimates for 1955, there are plenty of people, usually consum­ ers and Townsfolk, who will favour you with the comment that it is a crime that our federal government has set aside a total of better than $78,000,000 to finance the Agriculture Department in the coming year. It seems to be the opinion of many of these people that this annual budget is written off, lost as it were, and that the citizens of Canada are fin­ ancing Agriculture. May I take a few moments to explain this. One of the great costs of the Ag­ riculture department, is the mainten­ ance of agriculture Experimental farms, research work, salaries of persons in the department of agricul­ ture and the maintenance of' such branches as the health of animals branch and the veterinary generals department. These are all federal re­ sponsibilities and the average citizen has just as much right to help pay the bill as they have to kick in to the financing of the atomic research de­ velopment,. the huge industrial re­ search developments and the opera­ tion of the many unprofitable crown corporations. You will frequently hear people say, “Well, look at all the money that we spend in price supports, to keep-the farmers’ prices up”, That is yet an­ other topic I would like to explain. In communities such as Wingham, where the shopkeepers and the mer­ chants do business with farmers daily, they realize all too well, the import­ ance of the farmers’ income. But in cities where the farmer means little more than a country cousin who has plenty of room, to accept the rela­ tions offspring for a summer vacation, it’s a different story. Far too many of the city consumers blame the farm­ ers for the high costs of food, and visualize him as a rich, miserly soul, who spends his money only on Buicks, and private airplanes. To date public­ ity releases from our farm organiza­ tions haven’t been able to provide the information necessary to dispell these disbeliefs. Here are the facts, port board, organized prevent catastrophic ricultural prices, has farm prices, and provided the means of handling bulky surpluses that have been brought about by seasonal pro­ duction. Do you realize that the prices support board has lost, or written off, only a mere fraction of the money it invested, in agricultural products? The seasonal surpluses were carried over, fed out onto the market in off season periods, and in very few cases have they lost anything. The year 1952 was a black one for the prices support board, for they were forced to dig into their pockets, to the tune of $69,000,000 to stabilize agricultural prices, wrecked as a result of the ■foot and mouth disease, ’which was brought into this country unwittingly, we believe by a European immigrant. As such, foot and mouth disease was federal responsibility, not a farm re­ sponsibility, and it was only fair that the prices support board should assist in stabilizing markets and storing surpluses. Exclusive of this $69,000,000 spent in 1952, as a result of this blunder, the prices support board from the period 1946 to the end of 1954 wrote off only $11,000,000. During that time they supported and handled many farm" products, cheese, eggs, dry skim milk, apples, potatoes, butter and hogs. Cal-- culated on a per capita, per year basis, we find that the entire program, including the foot and mouth disease program, cost each Canadian about 68 cents per person, per year. Exclusive of the foot and mouth disease pro­ gram, it cost each Canadian only 9c per year, to maintain the purchasing power of the farmer, to keep him buy­ ing, to keep the farm machinery plants and the other businesses that depend upon him humming. I submit that it was a good investment. What do you think?
