COLONIAL HOMES Huron Candidates Debate Farm Policies Of Parties, Over 300 j eupie crowded int Legion 'Memorial Hall, at C'linlo to hear the two Huron riding can didates debate farm policy of thei respective parties. Gordon Hill, of Varna, count o change governments. Mr. McLean, n on the other hand, contended the ✓ government and Ias making can teaemest effort to overcome them. There was sufficient humor in - Y j'^•c ted by both candidates and ques- ' tioners to keep debate orderly and , prevent tempers from fraying. Recalls Bennett Regime As an example, one questioner said that as a cattle farmer, he had worked harder under a Conserv- ative administration than he had under succeeding Libral govern- ments and wanted to keep it that way. He said former Conservative Prime Minister liennett had told him to "go home" when he went to Ottawa to get .hog -support prices back in the early '30's. Replied Mr. Cardiff: "Well, we're about in the same sit'u'ation now as you were then. And don't for- get the° Tory problem's in the early 30‘'s were inherited from a Liberal Government that was turned out." Mr. McLean had his humor too. A questioner quoted him as saying in his 20 -minute address, that he believed there was a ,bright future for the Ontario farmer, and he wanted, -to know "how are we `going to carry on until these good times pop up?" • Replied CMr. McLean: "Those weren't my words. I was quoting the"Hon. W. A. Goodfellow, min- ister of agriculture in the Ontario Conservative Government. Elston Cardiff, Progressive Con- servative member in the federal representative for the Farmers Union, presided over the meeting which was held on May 22. The program included 20 -minute addresses by Elston Cardiff, Pro- gressive Conservative candidate, and A. Y. (Andy) McLean, Liberal standard-bearer, followed by a spirited question period. Basing their remarks almost en- tirely on farming problems, the sPeakers received 'close attention from their audience. Mr. Hill stat- ed that the reason for calling the meeting was because, though agri- culture is the basic industry in Canada, and all around booming economy is being enjoyed, agricul- ture is not participating in this. "Though," as Mr. Hill said, "the OFU does not support any one particular party, they did wish to bring. out the platform of both parties; and then let the voters decide for themselves." Fourteen questions were direct- ed to the platform and, since most wi're�co'mplaints; Mr. McLean, as government ,representative, was called on to answer nine of them. Mr. 'Cardiff felt that the only an- t swer to farm problems lay in the opportunity of the electorate to GAMY TA6frS r HE CANT MAKE UP HIS MIND WHICH MILK FROM Af'DREW DAIRY HE LIKES BETTER.

He presented the platform of the Progressive Con- servatives as it affects agriculture, including the following pledges: to maintain flexible price supizort program; to include a definite formula for arriving at a cost-pric ratio and to arrive at that in con- ference 'with farm bot'rds; to favor marketing boards, and assist in having them orrganized on a nation- al level; to make sure, if it were necessary to sell produce on the world market at lower than domes- ] tic cost, that the producer alone would not bear the cost; to safe- guard against unsafe importations; to ease and assist with farm credit; establish a sound conservation policy and carry out an investiga- tion into the spread between the consumer and producer prices by means of a royal commission. Speaking from his position as successful farmer in the Brussels area, Mr. Cardiff said, "we feel the, present government has not given the farmer a fair deal, and a lot of them have been forced off the land 'entirely. Our .boys are dis- couraged at working on the farm when they compare their earnings with that of the,r friends in town. You can't get help. Wages paid by industry are too high for the farmer to compete against." Mr. Cardiff said -he personally had a hand in preparing the Con- servative platform on agriculture. "I'm proud of this platform and if John 1)iefernbaker wins the elec- tion, it will be the Government policy. If ,farmers want to stay in business, we should be put in the driver's seat on June 10." Realistic Approach Mr. Mclean conceded all€ the out- set of his 'zsiildress that, unlike Mr. Cardiff, he was not a farmer. But as 'editor of a weekly paper in Seaforth for 20 years, he felt he had an opportunity to approach agricultural( .problems perhaps more realistically than someone directly concerned with the farm. He admitted the .presence of pro- blems but contended the farmers themselves canpt agree on solutions to them, since some farmers have joined the Farmers' Union, others have been active in the Federation of Agriculture and still others have strayed away from either organiz- ation. Mr. McLean felt the farm prob- lem today was not one of prices being received for produce but rather one of the "cost squeeze" met in financingproduction. "The Canadian farmer is getting the highest ,prices paid in the world for farm produce. You can't .rust snap your ,fingers to create a system which will eliminate the prclblenl he faces in the cost of production. ft's my 'be-elief that this must be worked out by every- one getting together, determining the precise problem and then de- vising a method to overcome it.a" The Liberal candidate felt that increased .buying power resulting I from a growth in population and unprecedented expansion of indus- I try roast to coast 'would help re - dote the cost squeeze. "I consider farming an honorable profession, one which with propelr guidance and assistance can be held high. I do not believe in putting the farmer under the oblig- ations of too much assistance which would result in him being told what to do with? his 'fields and the erops they yield," Need `Prosperity Today Reg McGee. of Gndlerich, 0 gar. ., C, ageman and extensive ibeef farmer, noted that ,promises were for "pros- perity ahead"; why not in the past four years? the said the farmers did not want war years ' for pros- perity, but only something steady and sure. Mr. McGee said that the beef packers have a stranglehold on the farmers. "Why are the young people leaving these good farms?" •Mr. Cardiff said it was hard to answer, but it was true. "I don't believe there's another class of people more stable than farmers. Yet year by year, there are fewer fanners. With fewer workers, fanners buy machinery, and get in debt. All we ask is a fair share of the national. income," Mr. Mean said that an evolution was in progress. There always had been people leaving the farms. Jack Armstrong; of Auburn, said that the farmers didn't Want to be the only ones getting handouts. "We represent 15 percent of the nation's population," she said, "How much of the nation's gross income are we getting?" The reply was about nine percent. C.

Mr. McLean replied that it had been done on the suggestion of those most deep- ly involved in the hog situation. However, he added the hog floor price had not been in effect for some time. • SEED BEA NS Many of the beans grown last year are NOT SUITABLE 'for seed due to disease in them.
