6~THE PORT PERRY STAR--THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1962 Ridge 'Ramblings By Jamesine Willis Ontario County has an organization called Federation of Agricul- ture, part of 'that larger group the Ontario (Province) Federation of =. Agriculture, in Ontario, it is the only way farmers or agriculturists can adequately deal with their problems and bring them to the attention of the proper authorities within the government itself. Every farmer should show an interest in Federation of Agr jeulture and so it naturally amazes 'an enthusiast to see only a meére handful. al un annual meeting. One thing alone compensated, the largest 'representation was from the Ridges and north, smart people on the - Ridges; like I always say, EH Other groups and together in unions and' organizations to deal _- realistically with the probleras relating to 'their society and so -the farmers too, have this federation to b ing together all agriculturists in a sense of unity to work out the problems of the country folk. The-annual meeting. is for the purpose of, reviewing the year with 4 the Federation and to plan for the next. "The directors are elected at. this 'meeting and from then on the directors attend to the business of the Federation. The Federation is the parent organization of all community groups "and directors are appointed from these groups as well ag from the Women's Institutes and Junior Farmer groups.

The Federation can approach the Government on any resolution they wish drawn to the attention of parliament and they have done much to improve and influence legislation to the benefit of - those: interested in agriculture. At the present time you are reading and hearing much<about synthetic inilk products, the Federation is be- ~~ gmning to act in this regard, watch the progress and judge for your- self whether or not the Federation of Agriculture has Anything to offer the average farmer, - While I have taken some time to point out that each farmer has Hei to gain by showing interest and giving support to the Fed- eration an the country there is still another aspect even more im- portant, that which we gain individually; that is the working out of = overall problems of the industry. It is important that we work with other groups in our society, we must understand and be prepared to do something for other groups in such a way we come to know each others problems and to give support with sympathetic understanding. Iederation of Agriculture also is able to help in our education of groups on the other side of the fence, the consumer groups, We are anxious that consumer groups anderstand our problems, so also we need to khow what difficulties they face in order that we should be able to weigh the problems which confront us and them and so arrive at a reasonable solution.
