John Robarts and his Cabinet today when the OFA made its annual presenta- tion regarding farm policy and! programs. The delegation was he by OFA President, A. H. K. Musgrave of Clarksburg, and consisted of the OFA Executive Committee and members of the Board of Governors. RETURNS DOWN The Federation Brief made it clear that while the Ontario farm economy seemed to be coming into fairer weather, overall returns to farmers were mot gaining ground in the face of rising production costs. Despite a three to four per cent increase in the 1962 cash AeA their owners resorted to either parttime or fulltime off-arm employment to keep solvent. ments and for farm organia- tions," said the OFA, raise to a higher level of pro- farm income, these rising costs of operation and depreciation will result in a net farm income situation comparable with 1961, aggressive and potentially able but who are yet weak financial- ly or are yet deficient in mana- gerial skill. Another is to iso- prise in a period of foreign domination in business. | Other matters drawn to the jattention of the Cabinet includ- and some $90 millions less tham|late and solve regional income] gq: the net farm income in 1951 and| 1952, | The OFA presentation sug- gasted that while the efficient, fulltime commercial farm oper-! ator in Ontario is faring reason-| ably well, there are many thousands of under - financed, marginal or under - developed farms which could not carry on if it were not for the fact that "One major task for govern- 'is to ficiency those farmers who are Land Sale Sparks| | Greenwood Battle By DONALD G. CROSSLEY which could cast some doubt on}; problems. Still another task is to ease the social and economic distress of the casualties of the quiet, but nonetheless demoral-| iizang agricultural revolution." DAIRY INDUSTRY WEAK "The major area of weakness is in the dairy industry," said the Federation in indicating' a willingness to assist in any sound course of acton directed at solving the dilemma. The vertical integration prob- lem ranked second to the dairy situation in OFA presentation. The Federation pointed out that while the whole situation is under study by a government committee, it is the considered opinion of farmers and their jorganization that decisive legis-| necessary to} lative action is curb the injurious effects of} such programs, particularly in the canning crop industry. The OFA observed that a well - planned and vehement attack on co-operatives was now in evidence and pointed out to he Premier and his. Cabinet PICKERING -- A controver-|the purchase.

HONEY OTTAWA -- Parliament con- vened recently after the Christ- mas-New Year recess. Since that date the debate has been on Bill C-87, An Act to Provide for the Establishment of a Na- tional Economic Development Board. This is, of course, important legislation and it is being thor- oughly debated in the House. Anything I might say about it in this report would probably be superfluous as the debate is being well reported in the press. I would like to wander a bit and talk about ladies' hats. | This is not a great earth- shaking subject (except to we husbands who must not only ap. prove of these objects of adorn- ment but who must, on occa. sion, foot the bill for the millin. ery acquisition of our wives), In early days, the Commons of England met in a chapel. The Speaker's throne was placed just in front of where the altar had stood. Eventually the Commons had {a chamber of its own. But old customs linger on, and it is only with the passage of years that these customs change. It is only in recent years that a woman could sit in the public galleries of the House of Com- |mons without a hat. Nobody | quite knew why, but it was an old custom. And then, a few_ year ago, one of the lady members of the House of Commons, who was herself hatless, raised the ques- tion why ladies "'who go every- where now without hats should be obliged by the regulation this House"'. Mr. Speakr Fauteux, who ob- viously didn't know either, me- \the continuance of a healthy |Ontario sugar beet industry. The Department of Municipal Affairs was asked that in the preparation of a new - assess- ment manual, consideration be given to several OFA sugges- tions which would have the 'effect of equalizing rural and urban assessment for taxation I for education and social serv- ices. gret that despite a series of public hearings, and a _ very evident need for farm machin- ery legislation, no mention of such legislation was made in the Throne Speech. The Cabi- net was urged to speedily enact such legislation. This comprehensive presenta- tion to Premier Robarts and his Cabinet by the OFA follows the policy discussions and debates during the OFA's 26th annual meeting. The policy spelled out in this brief originates with Federation affiliates.

Mr. Goodwin termed the} reference to the land purchase| in the unsigned column "irre- | sponsible", CUT COMMISSION for $2,750 from Ronald H. Col. | nett of Toronto through the real | estate firm of Mrs. Newell in Pickering. The agreement of purchase and sale states that Mrs. Newell received $200 in commissions, which is less than the accepted land negotiation fees of 10 per cent. The lots measure 160 by 204 feet and are located on the south side of Greenwood road Mrs. Newell said the lots were advertised in 1958 at $3,500 in classified columns, and despite the fact land values have in. creased since then, her client decided to lower the price for the benefit of the school. "I also cut my commission for the same reason,"' she ex- plained. Mr. Goodwin said the school's appraiser evaluated the lots for more money than they eventual- ly brought. The Pickering News column claimed there was no appraisal. Mrs. Newell pointed out that she had the land listed with her firm for about eight years. "The $200 fee for the sale would hardly cover the paper work, telephone charges, visits to the lot and advertising costs," she pointed out, "But last March our client de- cided he wanted to sell the lots, and we were pleased to arrange this at a fair price to the school." "HAD FAIR OFFER" Expropriation would have cost more than the amount agreed upon, said Mr. Goodwin. } "We had a fair offer for the land, and we paid a fair price.
