of their hog price returns to create a fund for the handling of surplus pork and they alo indicated that they would be agreeable to subscribing one and a half percent of dairy production sales to finance their market ing problems these decisions came about as the ontario county executive of the feder ation of agriculture met in the township hall brooklin to en- jov a turkey dinner and infor mally talk with mr v s mil- burn secretarymanager of the ontario federation of agricul ture this dinner was the fitting close of a very busy and suc cessful year for the south on- ario federation and the begin ning of an equally busy and important year in 1955 all pro jects of the farm organization have shown extensive growth in the past year such as in creased membership in co operative medical services and cooperators insurance asso ciation the former prepaid hos pitalization the latter automo bile insurance both especially patterned to give farm people the protection which they need the formation of several new credit unions to bring further advantages to country people have marked the progress of the year as well as brucellosis control the calfhood vaccina tion scheme to further the health of our dairy cattle and that of the citizens of our county promotion work has been the foremost task of the federa tion in 1954 attempting by the radio program over cklb ev ery saturday with press re ports and the use of a supple ment page in the rural co- operator the ontario federa tion of agriculture publication to let every farmer in ontario county know what farreaching and important steps are being taken every day to insure far mers a better share of the na tions income and advantages equal to those enjoyed in any other industry the first question at the fed eration dinner to be put to mr milburn was one regarding fin ancing the farmer who asked the question did not feel that any farmer paid enough to his organization and that many paid nothing and he wanted to know what could be done ab out the problem mr milburn admitted that the federation was not as wellfinanced as befitted an organization with such influence and responsibil ity he said that he had stud ied farm organization financ ing in united states and he felt that something would soon be done to bring out a new plan mr belyea economist employed by the provincial federation is doing some re search on the problem and the fact that a group of farmers such as the thirtyodd at that meeting realized that there was need for a change was en couraging mr hamer fieldman for the ontario county federation mentioned the progress made in the southern part of the in cheese producers but each one taking an overall look a the complete picture and real izlng that each group is direct ly related to the other a few years ago it cost much more to keep an individual employ ed in industry than in farming but a complete reversal has taken place and now the invest ment per farm worker is much higher than for a labourer in other industry we have a right to more financial returns and we should go after them in a constructive diplomatic way by backing up the organization which is working in our inter ests the federation of agricul ture in ontario county looks forward to 1955 with an opti mism justly earned by the new interest and enthusiasm shown by the farmers in the year just past officers of ontario

few county in the last two years with pickering whitby ux bridge and scugog paying the half mill rate on assessment and the other two townships contemplating taking a more equal share of their responsi bilities in this respect one young farmer said that he would shortly meet the council of his township regard ing funds for the federation and he would be asked what the money would be used for he wanted the answer mr mil- burn told of the 13 construc tive briefs presented to the government in the last six years some of which had been made legislation with the most minor changes he told of the law services now being used to interpret the needs of the far mers into legislation and the need for competent advice to protect our interests there are all the expenses which must be met in the daytoday working of an organization which has the respect of government and must keep is attention on ev ery detail which affects farm ing and agriculture in this pro vince another question regarding the problems of young people starting in business on their farms was put mr milburn said that there is a need for new legislation to rover this problem and the federation i working towards having farm ing in the same class as indus try which is not obligated to repay some principle and inter est in the first year of opera tion as is the case of a person beginning business on a farm this meeting emphasized tha fact that all farmers needed to participate as farmers no as hor producers not interested in j walton and m ilk producers nor as whole auditors milk producers not interested the
