It mai,". well develop rote one of those "brotheru against 'brother, son against son" kind of affairs with a group of farmers (pro- ducers) lined up..against another group, corporation against cor.- poration (procgr5, feed nnanu- facturers, distributors of farm• produce) and even government - against government.

Mr and Mrs Horace Del - Last week the president of the Canadian Federation of .Ag- riculture, H. H. Hannam, said in his address to the annual Meeting in Banff that he was solidly opposed to vertical in- tegration. Even though some people claim it is inevitable, Dr. Hannam feels it would not work. out in practice and he, warned farmers that accepting a position within an integrated program would force them into a minority position. In an in- tegrated business including ag- riculture -that is the primary producer or farmer -the farm- er would find that other inter- ests would dominate the busi- ness. Farmers would give up by default their right to speak effectively and their right to a voice in deciding the policies that shape our economic struc- ture, he said. At just about the same time, -Ontario's new Agriculture Min- 's•Cr Stewart told a television audience in reply to questions asked by your columnist that he believed whole heartedly in the farhily farm as the best econom- ic unit in agriculture and pledg- ed the Support of his govern- ment to farmers who wanted to fight vertical integration. Mr. Stewart said all producers of a commodity• being marketed un- der a marketing plan must .be bound by the ,re'gulations„.••QL that plan whether they were:' processors or farmers. "We are convinced," he said, "that if any processor or canner wishes to produce his own product for which there is a marketing plan in existence, then he should be. treated as any other producer or grower» ":_ _. We %interpret , that , statement almost as'an invitation tofarin-- ers to use the Farm Products Marketing Act as a weapon to -fight vertical integration. Qn the other hand, a senor official of -one,,,of Canada's largest dairy corporations has warned, milk producers in Ontario that his organization might- get into the actual production of milk in a big way if they form an over- all marketing plan in this prov- ince. However, this statement by the minister of agri may change the thin big dairy group. Of T � WOME IN CI INSTITUTE COOPERATES ISOAM C . D (OLLECTIONA.
