fairness it should be said that when the authorities at income tax head quarters realized the situation they gave excellent cooperation to the Federation officers in work log out the new deal for farmers In income tax This new deal pro vided for instance for the basic herd system which was long over due and which applied to livestock farmers the same principle as had always been applied to commer cial businesses in recognizing cer tain basic assets as capital assets Then there came the system of averaging income now in effect for some years which was worked out between the Federation the Income Tax officers and the Fed eral Department of Agriculture This system was an official recog nition that weather is one of the great factors in influencing thI economic position of farmers from year to year The matter of depreciation has been another field of accomplish ment in income tax and certain adjustments have been brought about which corrected some un fairness The farm income tax guide now issued every year for use of farm ers is entirely the product of eff orts by the Federationsnalional office So is the policy developed by the Income Tax Branch of in corporating in their personnel men who have some knowledge of farm business and who can be as signed to the task of dealing par ticularly with farm returns and assessments The same is true of the program of meetings for

Farm Progress Report Simcoe Federation of Agriculture case for the farmers This has proved on innumerable occasions to be of immense advantage and we can truthfully say that the work of our Economist

Cream Producers Organization are proud of the accomplishments of our 02 ganization since its origin in Oc tober 1946 We all agreed that there was need for County Cream Pyo ducers organization Last year 1953 there were 4140 cream pro ducers in Simcoe County deriving cream income of one million five hundred thousand dollars annually It was very necessary that county organization provide membership leadership and guid ance to our Provincial Marketing Board and also to assist individual cream producers with their prob lems First of all the dairy herd is of vital importance in maintaining the production of our Ontario farmlands In the year 1953 the number of cows in Canada in creased by six per cent over 1952 That means there is now little more than one cow for every five Canadians and that is as it should be In the second place sudden drop in the price of cream used in the manufacture of butter would have sufficient effect on our econ omy through loss of income by our cream producers to be felt in all business circles In 1953 however the consumption of creamery but ter was the highest it had been since substitute for butter was first placed on rthe market About million more pounds of butter were sold each month last year 1953 than in 1952 There is some thing significant about this mark ed and increasing preference for butter We found it most convenient and necessary to approach both our provincial and dominion govern ments for their consideration and assistance in the rinterests of the dairy industry particularly the cream producers In February 1953 it was necessary for all organiza tions of the dairy industry to pool their influence in their protest against the importation of cheap vegetable oils to be used in the manufacture and the coloring of synthetic dairy products We as cream producers would like to say how much we appreciated the stand taken byyour Ontario govern ment and the Opposition in realiz ing the value of our dairy indus try and affording it just protection We would like to refer to the co operation and understanding that has been built up between the other dairy groups such as the Whole Milk Producers the Cheese Producers etc as well as the cream producers and creamery operators Your committee would like to report that probablyI the most dir ect benefit to the producer was the setting up of floor price by our federal government of 58¢ per pound butter fat for cream It stabilized the market and provid ed security for the producer for twoyear period of which one year has just been completed It also benefits the consuming public in that it protects them against fluc tuating prices caused by small sur plusesgfrom time to time which depress the market belowcost of production and then in turn cre ate
