Federation Meets
Government Often
The Canadian Federation of Agri
culture will present its annual brief
to cabinet on March 3, reports Jim,
Powers, Bruce Federation secretary
fieldman, Qne of the recommendations
contained Will be a request for form
ula pricing of farm products. It is
felt that support prices should have
some standard relationship with the
cost of production index. The Feder
ation economist has taken the period
of 1925 and 1929 as the period at Which
farm prices Were in line with farm
costs. Using this period plus the past
ten year average, the economist has
worked put a formula what farm pro
duct prices should be in 1955.
During the past few weeks people
have, been asking me, has the Feder
ation at Ottawa ever made a presenta
tion at Ottawa and if sq what com
mittees, they work through. It is quite
obvious some enemy to Federation of
Agriculture is spreading propaganda.
After writing to Dr. H. H. Hannam,
president .of C. F. A. I received
following reply:
“We make recommendations
many government committees at
tawa. The agriculture advisory com
mittee, which does even a better job
than the agriculture committee of the
House,- has as its members the Mini
ster of Agriculture, the deputy mini
ster the chairman of the agriculture
price supports board and all the senior
members of the Department of Ag
riculture, participating in the discus
sions. Thus gives us the best oppor
tunity there possibly could be to for
ward the farmers’ views on agricul
ture policy and particularly on com
modity policies’’.
Mr. Hannan continues, “I have been
chairman of the committee for the
past ten years; we have seven other
producers on the committee, mostly
Federation men from across Canada.
In addition the deputy minister of
agriculture from each of the provin
ces is also a member. We have in the
Canadian Federation of Agriculture
made presentations to royal commis
sions, to special committees of the
House of Commons, special commit-
tes of the Senate, to the Prime Mini
ster and the Cabinet, to committees
of the Cabinet and to individual Cab
inet members".
This answer from C. F. A. president
should explain the recent charges that
the Federation never meets the gov
ernment. Jim Powers, Sec.
