bank suggested by e w bentty shaws store phone 9512 stouffville ontario the idea behind dominion agri cultural credits corporation was first suggested by e w beatty president of tho canadian pacific railway in an address given at london ontario in december 1930 at that time mr beatty suggested the propriety of the creation of an agricultural credit corporation to assist in extending mixed farming throughout the west where physi cal conditions permitted subsequently at winnipeg in an address before the board of trade of that city mr beatty elaborated on the scheme and pointed out that the formation of such a company should in no way be an attempt to meet or correct the unusual con ditions of the present day but that its policy would be one that could only become effective over a per iod of years and that rather than being a temporary expedient for the purpose of relief it should rather he a permanent piece of machinery introduced to tho industry of agri culture with a view to developing ind maintaining additional sources of revenue and sustenance fiom our farms although details of operations will be in the hands of the newlyappoint ed board of directors it is believed from various references made by mr ileatty in public addresses and be fore the standing committee on banking and commerce at ottawa that the rate of interest for such loans will not exceed c per cent and that an additional charge for in surance and for handling livestock will be made loans of from 200 to 1000 will probably lie made re payable probably in three years the security to be in the form of a chattel mortgage on the llvesock purchased a suggested basis of diversity in livestock might include under different conditions from two to five cows one or two sows 25 to 100 hens and wherever possible 20 to 50 ewes per individual farm if such a plan is followed it would ho along the lines of the agricul tural credit corp of the united states which has been operating a similar plan in minnesota north dakota south dakota and montana since 1921 although a substantial part of the proposed capital stock of the co namely 5000000 wassubscrlbed shortly after the plan was projected by mr beatty legal difficulties cropped up in that many trust loan and insurance companies which had been asked to subscribe a sub stantial amount to the company were unable to do so without special enabling legislation from parliament legalizing this as an investment of their fundstlilswas done at ottawa and by tho ontario legislature and as a result a certain amount of monoy has since been subscribed by these institutions aisle up the centre the desks taken out had an open space for books and slates while the new ones each accommodating six scholars had three capacious drawers apiece the new equipment was thus quite an advance on the old all the desks were of beautiful pine and made by local carpenters they presented a very attractive mark the boys knives and as inkbottles often were upset there was no lack on the boys side at any rate of decorative coloring and carving cutting the- desks by the boys was one of the teachers worries as it often happened the offender could not be discovered 1 do not remember that i ever cut a desk but i still carry a scar on one of my knuckles the result of a wound received while trying to fence off a corner in my drawer for the safety of my inkbottle the teacher was lenient with me as he did not punish me hut sent me home to have the wound dressed there was no caretaker to light the lire unless it was the teachers duty and the scholars did tho sweeping under mr mcmurchy the boys did all the sweeping we drew cuts every day and i remember my turn seemed to come very often sometimes the girls bless their kind hearts voluntarily offered to relieve us and you may be sure it was sel dom we objected it was in the old school i made my first acqaintanco with politics a boy from ileadford a little older than myself robert monkman was sitting next to me one evening while kneeling at prayers roberts mind unfortunately began wander- an eagerness for the citizens of on tario to grapple with their most seri ous economic situation that there could bo no question of the necessity for a provincial gathering in the august conference discussion was the limit of possible activity for the october meeting organization is imperative our unique contact with condi tions reveals an increasingly articu late and determined public opinion which makes us marvel that so uttle appreciation of ontarios distress is voiced by leaders in politics indus try and finance they are anxious about unemployment in the cities but seem unaware that the farm is the vital place in which the return to prosperity must begin restore agriculture to its rightful place through an alliance of farm and town and the nation will be saved let agriculture continue its down ward course and canada will be the abode of a helpless peasantry buy ing few canadian manufactures the pioneers will have wrought nobly but in vain and canadians will have ceased to be freest people in the new world the facts of the farmers straits and of the grave discontent fast spreading among them throws into vivid relief the desperate need for an alliance between farm and town if fhese appalling times are not even more acutely to be repeated it is folly to proceed as if financial obli gations can be met by the farmers generally out of present prices only the wilfully blind would deny that our whole social and economic structure is in dire peril the situa- ing into secular channels he leaned ition compels a new unity among all over and interrupted my serious devotions by asking how my father voted in the recent election whether tor wright or gamble he said his father voted for gamble so i follow ed his lead and said i thought father did too it was a venture but i guess i was right for gamble was the con servative candidate gamble was a farmer and lumber man in the humher district in vaughan amos wright was a resi dent of richmond hill i knew him by sight and he appeared to bo a quiet unassuming man as far as i know he was a representative of our people for which the parent industry conference of six weeks ago was the first assemblage of our people of varied interests which has sought a permanent way of our troubles signs multiply that with in limits the initiative thus taken has met a public need and has fur nished the direct stimulus of such a movement as that which called four largelyattended meetings in cue simcoe township which in turn are producing a meeting in barris called by the mayor to be attended by the local and federal members of parliament of both parties and in itself a proof of the possibility of a real alliance of farm aud towu the united farmers of ontario their president having joined our committee which demands such strong measures as the conscription of wealth and the compulsory reduc tion of interest rates and protests against the payment of unemploy ment relief wages far above what the farmer can obtain for his labor and his investment despite a presumed antagonism be tween farm and town the newmar ket approach to labor from the point of view of the joint interest of all wealthproducers has assured the cooperation of organized labor with the coming conference every where indeed the demand is rising for strong farseeing bold leader ship open conference is the only way to develop the leadership aim cooperation so sorely needed we are asked why havent yon formed an organization the ans wer is that the need is too great the malady too deep for a few men to presume to decide what organization shall be joined only from the sense of necessity can be produced an or ganization reasonably equipped to serve the country to that end the first dominant condition is that peo ple shall get together express their views fearlessly and themselves de cide what they will do in a few days we expect to have ready a suggested range of practical discussion for the provincial confer ence meantime all who are inter ested in finding a way out of the morass are invited to make their attitude known so that it may be not a they affair but a we affair all the time and all ho way hitherto inarticulation has lain like a blight upon tho land people with so much to lie proud of have ever been so silent as the people of ontario the difficulty to be over come is primarily a temperamental one due to a strange modesty com plex and a rooted unjustified fear of nothing more than the mirror if our people were really aware of themselves there would be neither timidity nor delay in asserting the mastery or their own affairs first in meeting the immediate emergency of a winter the like of which has never before approached our pro vince and then in a permanent rais ing of our social and aconomic life abovo the dread of such maladjust ment as now gives us starving mil lions in
