FIRESIDE FORUM
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Taylor
were hosts to Fireside Farm For-
tin') on Monday, January 24 with
21 persons present. Following the
radio broadcast the topic for dis.
cussion "Producers Marketing" oc-
cupied two groups for some- time.
In the opinion of this .Forum,
farmers can expect more7stabiliz-
ed prices, as well as more bargain-
ing power from an orderly mar-
keting programme for livestock
under producer controlled market-
ing! board. Controlled marketing
for cattle however, should be left
until the hog producing board is
more .settled.
On the question of farmers
agreeing to regulate themselves as
to the manner place' of mar=.
Meting their livestock, half" the
members agreed that most farmer"s
would co-operate, while' the other
half felt that farmers would want
to ship their-- livestock to the place
paying the highest price.'s
The discussion period was fol-'
-lowed by a, few' games of euchre,
after which lunch was `served by
Mrs. Oliver Anderson, Mrs. Wil-
liam Dohnage, Miss Frances Cook

livestock under producer controlled
marketing boards. Some 70 per
cent of the 465 Farm Forums in
Ontarrio‘ gave this opinion' when
they reported on their -January 24
discussions on "Producer Market-
ing"
About 20'percent of the Forums
felt they would expect higher
prices for their stock, Other bene-
fits which were mentioned, often
as a second benefit, were increased
bargaining power; more and bet-
ter markets, and increased • work
on publicity and, public relations
which would better inform both
the producer and consumer. Out
of :this increasedinformation and
of the stabilized market some of
the Forums went a step further
and about 15 percent of them felt
these would make it possible to
have better planning of both pro-

Replies :to Union Promoters:
"Federation' `Is Lifesaver"
In the Bowmanvilie area; east
of Toronto on Lake Ontario, the
Farm Union seems quite active.
We read with interest the re-
marks made try the -editor of the --
Canadian Statesman (weekly
paper of that town) in answer
to a letter from the local Union
secretary, in which. the Federa-
tion of Agriculture Was taken to
task quite 'sternly.
The Union letter stated that
in the 18 • years'' in which the
Federation existed, it had done -
nothing to justify its existence.
We quote the answer given by
the Canadian Statesman:
"IS I7.' NOTHING ' that the
Ontario • Federation has success-
fully negotiated many of the
policies now in effect at Queen's
Park for the betterment of aural:
life in Ontario? ' -
"IS IS NOTHING • that the
Federation in Ontario.has spear-
headed the movement for mar-'
keting legislation which has now
'been in effect for some years,
and has had a hand in the set
ting up of all the various :pro-
dueer marketing schemes now
oprating? : ,
"IS IT' NOTHING ' that the
provincial Federation has helped
IB organizing the various com-
modity. groups which :now fune.,
tion so. successfully; that it. has
set-up a successful co-operative•
insurance. organization for, far-
mers; that it has dealt success-
fully with a thousand and one
problems affecting the farmers
of the .provinee which have re-
quired both provincial and'fed-
eral action; that it is an organ-
ization on the job every day of
the year as watchdog' for the
farmers' interests in all fields;
that itscounty organizations
have successfully inaugurated
various enterprises, including
commodity co-operatives, co-
operative health services •-and
such like?
"I8 rr NOTHING that feder-
ally, the Federation was able
through the war years to guide
the negotiations with .govern-
rnent authority in the. matter of
the prices of farm products and
farm subsidies in relation to the
wartime food contracts which
put
scross
e into
farmers'
of dol-
lars of aid necessary to maintain
food ,production for wartime
needs? Was it nothing that the
Federation during those years
was granted representation on
18 wartime advisory boards hav-
ing to do with food and agri-
culture?
"IS Ifi NOTHING that the
Federation was able to negotiate
the passing of the Agricultural
Prices Support Act and the set-
ting• up of the Agricultural
Prices Support Board?
IS IT NOTHING that after
some years of urging, the Fed-
eration was able to induce the
federal government to pass the
Federal Marketing Act, which
was unanimously upheld as con-
stitutional by the highest law
court in . Canada?
"IS IT NOTHING that through
over ten years of constant ne-
gotiation, With innumerable con-
sultations and conferences, the
Federation has been able to ob-
tain a complete revamping of
the policy respecting the appli-
cation of income tax regulations
to the farming business which'
wiped out old inequalities and
injustices and provided for such
institutions as the averaging of
farm ' income, the. basic herd
system, the re -adjustment of
depreciation allowances, the
farm income tax guide, and in-
numerable other concessions and
improvements? •
IS IT NOTHING that. the
Federation in the early years
During the past year over $152
worth of books Were purchased
besides getting an exchange of 150
books every three months from the
county library. '
..The board intends purchasing
more books in the near future.
New venetian ,blinds were bought

ing done. '

that the + farmers of Canada,':
through their own; organizations,
and for the first time in history
as a united national -group, have
been able to be ably represented
before royal"' commissions, par
liamentary conunittees and goy
ernment boards such .as the
Transport ,Board, in the presen-;.
Cation of • the farmers' case in
Menially matters affecting rural
life which came before :these• -
bodies? • •
"HAS. IT BEEN'NOTHING"
that in all these presentations'
through the years; -and in the
manner of their appearance the
Federation leaders , have ' been
able to build up a prestige for
their . organizations that ,has
never before • been equalled.;in
farm orgai ization history,. a fact -
attested -to by many authorities
outside the farm movement?..
• "IS IT NOTHING that the
Federation was• honoured by
having its representatives par-•
tcipate,in the first International
Food and Agricultural Confer-
ence, called by President Roose-
velt in 1943 and later in the
organization of the United Na-
tions
ations Food and Agricultural Or-
ganization, and to be 'represent-
ed in all the general conferences
of that organization since? ..
"IS IT NOTHING that the
Federation was able to play a
prominent part in the organizing
of the International Federation
of Agricultural Producers, and
that the Canadian organization
has since then had a leading
part in shaping the policies of
the International Federation,.
thus placing Canadian farmers
and their organization on a par
with the oldest and best farm
organizations in the world?"
And the Statesman editor also
stated, "It ill behooves those
who do not always see . eye to
eye with Federation leaders to
go to the rather childish extreme
or organizing rival groups, or to
villify in public those farm lead-
ers
eaders who have through the years
devoted their energies and abil-
ities to the service of all the
farm .people and their welfare,"
