AMONG THE FARMERS
Federation of Agriculture Newsletter
The recent hearing on the ap- plication of Canadian Pacific Air Lines to operate services duplicating those already pro- vided by TC-A have produced the usual statements to the effect ' that competition will provide bet- ter and cheaper transportation for the Canadian public.
Before accepting this as gospel we would do well to take a care ful look at the railway situation in this country where two large railway systems, one publicly and one privately owned. are os- tensibly competing. We pay for the duplication on overhead but certainly there is little or no real competition so far as the rate structure is concerned.
When freight rates-are to go up application is made on behalf ‘of both railways through llie Railway Association and usually the wealthy CPR used as the yardstick for determining rates. Canadians would do well to take a creful look at the myth of com- petition in transportation bring- ing them any real benefits. BRITAIN IMPORTS POTATOES
It was stated that it is now be- yond doubt that the home crop .of potatoes, will not be suffici- ent to meet all requirements throughout the season. Despite the improvement of harvesting conditions. which has resulted in supplies being a little easier, prices have fallen only slightly and it was stated that they have remained unduly high for the season.
Imports will continue to be permitted as long as they are necessry. subject to balance of payments needs and to plant health regulations. The latter prohibit imports from North America. . BARTER DEALS
Probably the worst news farm wise to come out of Washington
. this year is to the effect that United States is planning to in- crease its barter deals for Aim- ericanfarm surpluses with other countries. Certainly Canadian farmers, especially the grain farmers, will find some actual and prospective customer swit- ching over to the American bar- fer. deals. Under these deals the United States will take, for ex- ample so many tons of mangan- ese, nickel or nine in exchange for wheat, corn. or what have you giro materials going

are individualists. or try to be —— mangement of agriculture is in the hands of hundreds of thousands compared to 0th hun- dreds in industrial concerns. It is impractical to use the discip- lined, aggressive methods of lab- or to keep industrial employes in units: up to the present it has been impossible to rigidly control total production to suit our mar- kets, or to place management in the hands of a few. such as oc- curs in many industrial fields where mere dozens may control a high percentage of the total output.
Alibis will not solve our prob- lem, however, and we should not content ourselves with alibis as a way out of our difficulties. We should stop right now, view the situation and ask ourselves what we can do about the state of agriculture. This is where 1 con- ceive that the Farmers’ New Role in Marketing enters the pic- ture. .
ORGANIZATION PROGRAM Every organization should have a program, but the same program may not be suitable year after year without change. For this reason organizations should be constantly asking them- selves the questions, “What is bur purpose?”; “Is this what we should be doing?"; "Have we changed our program in keeping with the changing times?"
At least one farm organiza— tion ~ the Women's Institute of Ontario—is doing something con- structive along these lines and is having a survey done by com» potent persons to determine the value of their program and how it might be changed in the light of present conditions. For some
time there has been the feeling
among the Ontario farm Women that parts of their program which were valuable and neces- sary in the beginning are now being provided by other agen- cies either public or private and that the time has come for the development of new avenues of work.

FARMERS
Recent statements to the ef-. feet that the tourist industry either is or may be of greater value than agriculture. in this province will be received with mixed reactions. Certainly it IS a commendable ambition to boost tourism to the point where it compares with agriculture. Everyone stands to benefit and agriculture about as much as other groups provided the tour- ists continue to consume our farm products and contribute in taxes to the building of roads. etc. The ideal situation is ‘of course to loeep on expanding agriculture and to keep the tour- ist people chasing it along at top
speed. MARKETING DIFFICULTY For some of the numerous mar- keting boards in Ontario a new problem has arisen where they are handling price supported products. Marketing Boards are set up to bargain on behalf of the producer and to obtain the best possible price. However. when prices go down to floor there is very little latitude for bargaining and Boards may find some d'ilificulty in explaining the value of their functions to pro- duccrs
