“It fell because no provision was made for agriculture,” charged David Crone of the Re- search Division of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, To- ronto. "And in essence the same thing is going on in Canada to- day.” He was addressing some 40} York County farmers who parâ€"i ticipated in yesterday's (Wed- nesday) mammoth safari to Otâ€" tawa to obtain a “coherent, comâ€" prehensive, long range program for all of agriculture. We want to get from the government something better than the hap- hazard mishmash of plans and programs that we have right now." Mr. Crone stated it was time the farmers stopped “subsidizâ€" ing the rest of Canada and re- ceived some subsidizing them- selves. Right now Canada has the cheapest food cost of any country in the world outside of the United States.” 3y FRED SIMPSON (he fall of the Roman Empire was linked last week to the failure of that day‘s government to recognize the plight of the farmers. He also pointed out that 68 percent of the net farm income in Britain was subsidized; 36.9 per cent in the United States. “In Canada." he said, “it has never been higher than 2.5 per- cent. And if you look at it this way we do have the cheapest food in the world.” Citing the 1961 census, Mr. Crone noted that 78 percent of the farmers in Ontario had a labor income of $2,000 or less. only $4.95 KIN GSDALE ANIMAL HOSPITAL DR.

But it has to come.” Mr. Crone also accused Fed- eral Agriculture Minister Joe Greene of not knowing what he was getting into when he an- nounced the revised dairy pol- ticy. “If he had known," he said. “he would have given us $5 milk right from the start. He did not, however, have the bene- fit of hindsight and so he went ahead at the end of March and announced the 1967-68 dairy policy.” Mr. Crone said one of the? criticisms of the policy was that it was too late for anyone to do any planning to meet it. “The rest of the criticisms”, he said, “are of the policy itself. It does not provide the $5 a hundredweight the farmers need to produce industrial milk. The level is instead $4.75. less! 11 cents for an export subsidy.”i Mr. Crone said producers! shipping any part of their milk‘ to the bottle trade were “sud-l denly and without any warning cut off from a subsidy on their industrial shipments.
