city resident turns whitecollar farmer the number of farms be coming weekend retreats and homes for city resi dents is causing some con cern among farmers in some areas of ontario where agricultural land is growing scarce and prices are soaring in york and ontario counties there has been enough concern for the soil and crop improvement as sociation to take the matter up in their meetings herbert crown ontario director of the agricultural rehabilitation and devel op m e n t administration suggested the day will come when productive ag ricultural land will have to be made available for farming although the problem is not acute in northern on tario county and peterbor ough some farmers are renting additional acres of land for production they rent land on a fiveyear agreement and farm it as they do their own whether it is more pro fitable to rent or own land depends on the use to which it is put speculation is forcing the prices be yond the 200 per acre mark even in these outly- ine

interesting to look back at it from the farm angle we usually say we never have an average year but from the standpoint of crops i think 1966 came close to it yields were not sensa tional in any crop good first crop hay was offset by lower yields for the second crop generally grain was normal but we had some low yields caus ed by a long dry period in the growing season our best corn didnt match previous records but with good maturing weather this fall the crop came off well with satis factory yields price changes were en couraging they may not be where they ought to be yet but at least they are in the right direction threats from surpluses diminished further in 1966 the beef pork egg and poultry in dustries are more stable now than on many prev ious occasions government support of the dairy industry has been a key feature of 1966 in other years dairying was gradually losing ground in compar ison to other farm sectors increases in subsidies this year as well as a moder ate increase in the price of fluid milk has firmed the foundation of the dairy business these improvements in prices of course have been accomplished by similar changes in farm operating costs very careful man agement plus larger and larger units is needed to make the books come out right in york county this year changes in ze have been most evident on hog farms many hog barns have been modernized and many new uptodate build ings have been put up our hog industry will strength en as this pattern is fol lowed in the next few years in my opinion there are two crucially import ant issues in york to be dealt with in 1967 one is milk marketing the situation in york is i think more complex than in most other counties lots of hard thinking as well as tolerance will be needed by the time pool ing comes into effect on june 1st the other is farm assessment events of the past few weeks have properly focussed at tention on the problem it is to be hoped that a solution can be found in 1967 one of the first big events of 1967 will be the annual meeting of the crop improvement asso ciation the date is jan 11 and it is to be at new market plaza auditorium should the minister of agriculture force unifica tion of farm organizations by special legislation i this question was posed at the ontario farmers union annual convention robt carbert cbc farm commentator suggested integration of the federa tion of agriculture and farmers union cult be along the same lines as the current legislation of canadas armed forces mr carbert who was keynote speaker at the banquet said he would despair of the farm move ment until the two groups unite their organizations forced integration would evoke protests from rural admirals generals and wing commanders but it might just happen to be in the best interests of the grass roots farmer mr carbert declared he told the convention that farm organizations have the responsibility to act in the best interests of all farmers farm groups must give their single- minded attention to repre senting farmers instead of fighting over them courtship like a foot ball team is most success ful when it is founded on a good line from aluschalmers the tractor
