KESWICK editor are always welcome i f writers Mat fee to tie editor The editor In some of your editorials you ask the question Does the farmer wish to sacrifice independence for the advan tage of organization Today in the commercial world the farmer has no inde pendence To get in the best price range hogs and calves must be sold at to 220 lbs milk must be sold in hours eggs less than one week cream one week only thing the farmer can hold for a price is beef and grain The trucking for farm produce is at a set price and in many pro ducts the farmer cannot truck his own There are so few buy ers of farm produce now that the price is set without any bargain ing In the past before we had organized massed production con trols the farmer could and did use his individual purchasing power to hold a fair relation be tween farm buying and farm selling prices Those- days our manufacturers were in small units and there was no price fixing The farm er could and would only buy ac cording to the price paid for his farm produce The farmer did hold control and the idea of the independence of the farmer was built around this system In our farm organizations we are trying by what is known as farm parity prices to get a fair relation between what the farm er sells and what they must buy We have never met any farmers that will not agree to parity farm prices There arc some farmers that do object to our approach It would be interesting to know what was on the editors mind when he made the suggestion that we could change things by the ballot with less than 50 per cent of our people voting in our municipal provincial and dom inion elections and with the majority voting party and only a few voting policy There are suggestions coming to have what is called a recall vote that the riding has the right to recall the member and replace him This system would make the member responsible to the people and not the party A system of this kind would stop all special interest or pressure groups from working on our governments It would become very difficult for any special group to contact each riding committee with any thing that was not in the good interests of all the people Ross Armitage
