Fieldman comments
Variety of viewpoints
greet FAME canvass
ay .1. CARL HEMINGWAY
HFA Fieldman
New experiences are always
interesting. Having a part in
the organiza.tion of the
"FAME" share sales campaign
last week was no exception.
When something needs to be
done we can always look to
people who are busy to get the
job done. The canvassers who
turned out to the information
meetings were certainly no ex-
ception. Their enthusiasm was
almost matched by their fear
of their ability to go out and
be salesmen.
It was hard to understand
this fear of selling something
in which they had at least re-
ceived some Information which
would certainly give them
some advantage•over the pros-
pective purchaser yet these
same men seemed to have little
fear of their ability to sell
cattle once a year to men who
are in the cattle buying busi-
ness every day of the week
year after year. Farmers are
no more match of the cattle
buyer than the cattle buyer is
a match of the farmer in load-
ing bales all day.
Various viewpoints
Then there was the meeting
of people in the canvass. I had
the opportunity of doing a little
canvassing in an area where I
didn't know the people. In a
situation of this •kind I can't
refrain from analyzing the peo-
ple I called on.
All were unanimous hi the
need for farmers to have im-
proved income.
Those who purchased, and
this was very nearly half of
those called on, seemed to con-
sist of two groups, There was
the younger farmer who was
really finding the going rough.
He pinched a little harder and
bought .a share in order thdt
his bargaining power in, selling
would be stronger in the hope
that the years to come would
be at little better.
Then there was the farmer
who was nearing the endof
the road. He could expect little
financial benefit in the few
years left but was only inter-
ested that the road. be a little
smoother for the younger feet
to travel.
Wouldn't happen to them
Then 'lam were t:,ose who
didn't purcht.C-e and seemed to
have no intention of doing so
in the future. This seemed to
be a very small group who
were quite confident that they
could take care for themselves.
They were quite ready to agree
that conditions were bad and
there was real danger of many
farmers being forced off their
farms but it also seemed that
they were quite sure it wouldn't
be them. I wonder?
From the promises received
for future purchases the lack
of ready cash was all too ap-

The county of Huron Is en-
couraging its landowners to re-
forest those lands which are
marginal or sub -marginal for
agriculture. By entering into
an agreement with their local
township, owners may have
their land reforested for the
very nominal .fee of one dol-
lar per thousand trees planted.
This is only slightly over one
dollar per acre.
In order to obtain this bene-
fit. the owner must agree 4o

These prices are ten cents

Some rust and lodging have
affected winter wheat in On-
tario, and higher feed prices
have resulted, mainly from
drought conditions in Western
Canada.
It is pointed out that rye
can, be used satisfactorily as
sixty to seventy per cent of
grain rations, provided it is
combined with feed reasonably
high in protein, such as good
hay.
It is also very useful for sil-

he lines up prospects, explains
the agreement, inspects the
land, draws up a planting plan

Free Enterprise men
launch organization
The Free Enterprise Agricul-
tural Producers of Ontario, set-
ting up machinery for official
organization, including newly -
issued membership cards, last
.'Week elected a provisional
board of directors which will
hold office until the inaugural
meeting, probably in January.
The board will comprise 12
members. Only 11 were elected
last week, the 12th is to come
from Eastern Canada.
The elected members are
Peter McDonald, Oxford Coun-
ty; Robert Wilhelm, P'erth
County; Don McKenzie, Huron
County; Vern Lusted, York
County; Arnold Darroch, Wel-
lington County; Blake Snobel-
en, Kent County; William Har-
ris, .Bruce County; Joseph
Todd, Peel County'; Thomas
Broughton, Halton County;
Joseph Cochrane, Simeoe Coun-
ty; Edward Lorenz, Waterloo
County.
At the inaugural meeting
four directors will be elected
for a three-year term, four for
two and four for one-year, and
at subsequent annual meetings
four directors will be elected.
A considerable amount of
time was spent discussing re-
ports of sessions with farm
marketing board officials, and
reports from representatives
on the hog marketing board.
Members of the free enter-
prise group which %as been
active in an unofficial capacity
for about three years, claim
that, among other things, hog
producers are losing money
through the newly -instituted
teletype selling methods. Too
many hogs are held too long
in assembly yards before sale,
they., said.
The free enterprise organiza-
tion will not be confined to hog
producers, although it was dis-
agreement over hog marketing
plans which gave birth to the
group.
