Answers Query:
What Is A
Farmer?
(The Stettler (Alberta)
Independent)
! He is many things to many
people - but to no one is he
better known to his wife. Ask
Mrs. Doris- West of Linn Coun-
ty, Mo., who answered this
question.
Farmers are found in fields -
plowing up, seeding down, n-
o, tating from, planting to, fertil-
izing with, spraying for and
harvesting if.
Wives help them, little boys
follow them, the Agricultural
Department confuses them, city
relatives visit them, salesmen
detain them, meals wait for
them, weather can delay them,
•
but it takes Heaven to stop
them.
When your car stalls along
the way, a farmer is considerate,
courteous, inexpensive road ser-
vice.

BANK HEAR OPTIMISTIC
ABOUT BUSINESS PROSPECTS IN'64
Stating that he was optimis-
tic about the business outlook
for 19.64, A. T. Lambert, presi-
dent of The Toronto -Dominion
Bank, told the annual meeting
of shareholders that "the pro-
spects are that we can achieve
a rate of growth in 1964 as
good as in the year which is
drawing to a close."
"If we do, it will mean a
growth at about 6 per cent per
annum for the third year in a
row."
According to Mr, Lambert,
three key factors contributed to
the favourable progress of the
Canadian economy in 1963.
These were the increasing com-
petitiveness and productivity of
Canadian industry, the stabiliza-
tion of the exchange rate, and
the favourable climate of our
trading partners.
When a farmer's wife sug-
gests he buy a new suit, he can
quote from memory every ex-
pense involved in operating the
farm last year, plus the added
expense he is certain will crop
up this year. Or else, he as-
sumes the role of the indignant
shopper, impressing upon ev-
eryone within • earshot the
pounds of pork he must
produce in order to pay for a
suit at today's prices.
A farmer is a paradox = he
is an overalled executive with
his home his office; a scientist
using fertilized attachments; a
purchasing agent in an old,
straw hat; a personnel director
with grease under his finger-
nails; a dietitian with passion
for alfalfa, aminos and anti-
biotics; a production expert
faced with a surplus and a man-
ager battling a price - cost
squeeze.
He manages more capital
than most of the businessmen
in town.
He likes sunshine, good food,
country fairs, dinner .at noon,
auctions, his neighbors, Satur-
day nights in town, his shirt
collar unbuttoned and, above
all, a good soaking rain in July.
He is not much for drouths,
ditches, throughways, experts,
weeds., the eight-hour day, help-
ing with housework or grass-
hoppers.
Nobody else is so far from
the telephone or so close to God.
Nobody else gets so much satis-
faction out of modern plumb-
ing, good weather and home-
made ice cream. Nobody_ else
has in his pockets at one time
a three -bladed knife, check
book, a billfold, a pair of pliers
and a combination memo book
and general farm guide.
Nobody else can remove these
things from his pockets and, on
wash - day, have overlooked:
five "steeples", one cotter key,
a rusty spike, three grains of
wheat, a stub of a lead pencil,
, a square tap, a $4.80 pocket
watch and a cupful of chaff in
each trouser cuff.
A farmer is both Faith and
Fatalist -he must have faith to
continually meet the challenge
of his capacities amid an over -
present possibility that an act
of God (a late spring, an early
frost, tornado, flood, drought)
can bring his business to a
standstill. You can reduce his
acreage but you can't restrain
his ambition.
Might as well put up with
him -he is your friend, your
competitor, your customer, your
source of food, fibre and self-
reliant young citizen to help
replenish your cities. He is your
report satisfactory gains in
earnings, deposits, loans and
total assets," Mr. Paton report.
ecl. "In fact, each of these yard-
sticks of growth established
new records in the fiscal year
ending October 31 last."
Commenting on an increase
in personal loans of a consum-
er credit nature, Mr. Paton said
for every person carrying too
heavy a load of instalment debt
there are many more who have
been assisted in achieving a
higher standard of living.
"The rates charged by the
banks are reasonable and are
among the lowest available,"
Mr. Patson said. "Such instal-
ment credit, soundly adminis-
tered and wisely used, will con•
tinue to contribute to the eco-
nomic progress and well-being
of the Canadian people."
Despite the favourable busi-
ness picture there are three eco-
nomic problems which are caus-
ing real concern, Mr. Lambert
told his audience. These are un-
employment, the balance of pay-
ments deficit and the budget
deficit.
Mr. Lambert said full employ-
ment is a goal towards which
all must continually strive.
Quite apart from the all-impor-
tant personal considerations, un-
employment represents a loss
of productive capacity, a loss,of
national income and a loss to
the average standard of living.
A balance of payments deficit,
Mr. Lambert said, means that a
country is spending more on
new capital projects than it is
generating in new savings and
is importing capital from abroad
to make up the difference.
"When a country is suffering
from unused plant and from an
unacceptable level of unemploy-
ment, it may be legitimately
asked why, it is not able to do
more for itself by putting un-
used resources to work instead
of importing capital from
abroad."
In discussing government ex-
penditures he pointed out that
Canadians "by demanding more
too soon, place in jeopardy
many of the fine things we now
have."
Mr. Lambert said the three
separate problems - unemploy-
ment, the balance of payments
deficit, and the budgetary deficit
-reduced .,to one challenge -
the challehge to be competitive.
