Xng i�rx�4te4' of .1! inanee s lending atithe city to the board.. r As of December .;31,, 1956,. aut=, atending borrowuigs fr�ii•Ii' he Man- dian farmers..For instance, 'each' in 1952 the maxiniurn amount which could be loaned to one individual, was $5,000 on a first ,mortgage, and $1,000 on a second mortgage! .These loans were based on' 50 per cent of the appraised value of a prop- erty. From 1952 until last year, the vaximum •amount -which cold be loaned to any one person was $10,- 000 on a first mortgage and $2,000 on a second mortgage, making the total loan to any one person $12,- 000; 12!000; but in any case the loan could not- exceed 50 per cent 'or tbe .ap- praised value. As a result of amendents made last year second mortgages were abandoned, and the maximum loan' to any one per- son is now $15,000, but in any case not to exceed 65 pee dent of the appraised value ,of the farmer's property. Teroposed amendment to the act by this. bill is very simple. Its purpose is to increase the capital of the board from $3 million to $4 million. By the amendment to the Canadian Farm Loan Act, assent- ed to last year, the capital of the board was fixed at $3 million, and authority was vested in the Minis- ter of Finance to loan to the board from time to time up to 20 times the par value of the outstanding capital stock of the board; this would amount to $60 million. ' One of the purposes of the bill introduced last year was that the board should, through the Minister of Finance, come to Parliament periodically to increase its borrow- ing power if necessary. Previously the capital of the board was in- creased automatically with an ie - crease in. its lending at the rate of 5 per cent of the total principal amount of loans outstanding, and it was mandatory for the minister to subscribe to and pay for any increase in capital thus issued.. The minister, in turn, was author- ized to lend to the board an amount not to exceed 20 times • such out- standing capital stock of the board. At the time of the last amend- ments to the Canadian Farm Loan Act it was anticipated that it would not be necessary to ask Parliament; for a further amendment until W.I. !Appoints Officers The March meeting of the Au- burn Women' § 'Institute was held Tuesday, March 19, in the Orange Hall, with the president, Mrs. Wel- lington Good, in charge,. and Mrs. Robert J. Phillips presiding at the piano. The meeting was opened with the Ode, Mary Stewart Col- lect, the Lord's ,Prayer and "0 Canada." Mrs. Fred Plaetzer led in the singing of the Irish songs. "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," "Peggy O'Neil," "My Wild Irish Rose" and "It's a Long Way To Tipperary." The motto, "Begin well and end better, those who miss a meeting, miss a lot," was taken by Mrs. Wes. Bradnock. She reviewed the highlights of each meeting during the past year. The roll call was answered by paying the fees for the coming year. The society was very pleased that six new mem- bers had joined. Mrs. Gordon R. Taylor, who was dressed in an Irish costume, com- plete with tophat, sang, "Has Any- one Here Seen Kelly?" The min- utes of the February meeting were read by the' secretary, Mrs. Bert Craig, and approved as read. Mrs. George Minion took charge of the new business, It was voted that the Sunshine Sister banquet be held this year in 'Dungannon on April 16. A Ietter concerning the prizes offered at Western Fair, was read. An attractive display of pyjamas, which the girls of the Sleeping Garment 4-H Club had made, were viewed by everyone. Mrs. Keith Machan, convener of Agriculture and Canadian Indus- tries, introduced the guest speak- er, Mrs, Tait Clark, of the Tiger Dunlop .Institute. of Carlow, who. is the district president of West Huron. She said, in her address, that all women in Canada have a great responsibility and chance to help with agriculture, and there- fore they are helping "The Maker" in this wonderful country. She said that the executive meeting of the District of West Huronwill' be held in Carlow on April. 15. The conveners of the standing commit- tee will all give their reports at the S.S: banquet. Mrs. Clark presided for the elec- tion of officers, and Mrs. Gordon R.

Our hearts are sad. as we sit alone At the close of a Sabbath day, Because of the loss of one so dear, Our Uncle across the way. We made our journey o'er hill and dale To Canada's fair domain, To comfort the heartse in, sorrow there, In their hour of grief and pain, His death was such a tragic one, A dreadful shock to all. But on his wife and family Did the darkest shadmes fall. Aunt Lizzie has been a kind mother. Wife and helpmate and friend; We know that her children will love her, And lighten her load to the end. They told us how he left his home To visit with a friend; But God decreed that on that day His earthly life should end. He was an honest, kindly man, A man with a generous heart; His loss is felt more keenly now, Since from him we've had to part. He wasn't perfect (none of us are), Nor .did he pretend to be; But he did the thing that seemed right to him, And he did it manfully. I sat in my uncle's old armchair, And the thoughts that filled any mind Were fragrant with memories of days gone by, And rich with a love entwined. I lingered a bit in that old armchair That seemed like a part of him, And in retrospect I could see him there. As he played that old violin, I could hear the music wafted there In notes so sweet and grand; I could see bow as it swept the strings, Like the touch of a master's hand. That old violin is silent now, No more its tones we'll hear; But oft from memory's page we'll feast On scenes forever dear. He's hearing Heavenly music now By that Angelic choir; Could we but catch its faintest strain, It would our heart inspire. He told his wife a short while back (And wanted her to know), , That be had made his peace with God, Was ready now to go. 0 let us lime from day to day, That when our time shall come; We'll be prepared to meet hien there, /)eyoiikt x f1&s getfiheson. „ M million. These, items total $24,- 500,000. In other words, there is, a prob- able excess of • commitments over present lending authority, if we look forward to March 31, 1958, of $1,850,000, Therefore, in the inter- est of the board's prospective bor- rowers, it is desirable that the Canadian Farm -Loan Act be amended at this time to increase automatically the lending author- ity of the Minister of Finance. The increase in dollarsto the capital stock is relatively not a large one; it, is an,increase of from $3 millin to $4 million. It is true of course that that by it- self does increase substantially the opportunity of the board to expand its operation because of ,that large ratio of 20 to one. This increase of $1 million to the authorized capi- tal of the board will allow the Minister of Finance to lend the board up to $80 million, instead of $60 million as at present. As I have pointed out, the maxi- mum single loan is now $15,000. and apparently the number of loans Is increasing. In Canada as a whole for the first 10 months of the present fiscal year the num- ber of loans was 2,751 as compar- ed with 1949 for the previous full fiscal year, The amounts of loans approved total $13,109,000 for the first 10 months of this fiscal year, com- pared with $7,791,000 for last year. I am sure, honourable senators, we all realize that agriculture, .gs one of the very important branch- es of our economy, has not shared in the general prosperity of our country aset should have done.

Loan Acct, passed by Parliament some 28 years. ago. The ipterest rate on loans at the preseet 'time is 5 per cent. At one time the a rtgage _terra..was._.251 years; now it is 30 years. How- ever, payments are of an amortiz- ed scheme, so the borrower pays so gxuch on interest and capital each .year. If the borrower wishes to pay on a 10, 15.or 20 -year scheme that can be arranged, and if he wishes to pay semi-annually he can do so. During the years the act has been in operation there have been times when a loss bas been shown in the board's operation, Recently there bee -been a'small prdfit. The profit for, the fiscal year ending March 31, 1956, was $173,175 after taxes. No dividend has been paid on the capital stock. This amending bill has only one dense, and its purpose is to in- crease the capital of \the board from $3 million to $4 million. Honourable senators, I commend this bill to your favourable consid- eration. Ontario Hog Producers' Associa- tion held their annual meeting March 6 and 7 in the King Ed- ward, Hotel, Toronto. This was the largest meeting of hog pro- ducers to date, with some 500 dele- gates and visitors attending, with quite an increase the second day. Charles McGinnis was returned as president. as were the other of- ficers to their respective- positions. This was fortunate, as these men have been in close contact with the problems of the past year's organization, and are undoubtedly better equipped to deal with the problems of 1957. Dr. H. H. Hanam, president of the Canadian Federation of Agri- culture, addressed the luncheon meeting on Thursday, giving an outlook in world trade. The resolutions brought forward caused considerable discussion. It was resolved that we request the Provincial Government to provide truckers with free cleaning facili- ties at the yards under the Health of Animals Branch. It was resolved that the prem- ium on Grade A hogs be increas- ed to $5.00, and that the premium on Grade B continue at $1.00; also that Grade A be 130 pounds to 160 pounds dressed weight. The Marketing Agency, under the capable management of J. R. Kohler, was heartily approved. Producers were urged to supply a greater volume of ,hogs to the open market in order to give the salesmen greater bargaining pow- er. 4ti tk, F. of A. Discusses Producers Groups The Ontario Federation ,of Agri- culture held a members' meeting which is composed of representa- tives from the County Federation. It is very encouraging to see these meetings well attended, as the or- ganization is only as strong as the interest shown by the members. The main purpose of the meeting was to inform the representatives of the action being taken on be- half of the tobacco growers. The procedure followed is the same regarding all producer group or- ganizations, and it might be well to clarify the part played by the Federation. To form a producer group it is necessary that a sizeable petition be signed by producers and pres- ented to the O.F.A. The Federa- tion will then do all in its power to present the facts to all produc- ers at local meetings, and even organize canvassers if necessary. If it then seems that there is a definite decision to be made, the O•F.A. contacts the Department of Agriculture with the request that a vote be taken. It is then the responsibility of the Department of Agriculture to appoint deputy returning officers and set up polling booths in such a way as to give every producer the opportunity to vote. It is also the responsibility of the Depart- ment to say what constitutes a majority. In case of the tobacco growers, there must be 51 per cent of all growers vote in favor of the plan, and at least 60 per cent of those voting must be in favor of the plan. If the plan is approved. the Federation will aid in the details of organizing the producer group, but does not take, any part in deciding on the action that the group will take. At any future date the Federation. as an organization, will act only on the request of that group. The other main topic of discus- sion was that of land easements and expropriations regarding high- ways, pipe lines. hydro and tele- phone lines. This is not a great problem in Huron at the moment. but could be in the future. It might be of interest to farmers to know that the Federation of Agriculture retains a lawyer who is experi- enced in these matters, and whose advice is available at any time, without charge, to Federation members.
