FARM |
NOTES

D. REIMER

It has -been stated many
times over that it is difficult
to organize farmers and more
so to keep them organized. It
is true that farm organizations
have come and gone in the
past. Sometimes they were
broken up because they were
not primarily concerned with
basic needs of the producer.
At other times they were des-
troyed for political reasons.

The first official farm or-

ganization, known aas_ the
“Agricultural Society” was
formed in Nova Scotia in 1789.
It was just what the name
“society” implies. It was not
designed to fight for a better
deal for farmers but concern-

- ed itself with promoting a

higher standard of live-stock
and grain. It spread into the
provinces of Quebec and On-
tario. :

Farmers clubs came _ into
being about 1870 and were the
first farmers’ organizations
that concerned themselves
with farmers problems and
welfare. They did not, how-
ever, develop beyond the stage
of local groups.

It may be said, however,
that these various organiza-
tions left their imprint on the
minds of farmers and that the
present farm organizations
have sprouted from it.

Someone said some years
ago that “Farmers and labor
could run this country. Why
don’t they? It is certain that a
solid united front of workers
oh land and industry could
give the parties of big busi-
néss a Shattering jolt. Every-
thing possible must be done to

provide this alternative to the}

Canadian people.

Delegation Sees Westwood

The need for an iron ore
smelter and steel mill to sup-
ply B.C.~and the Pacific North
West was agreed to by the
Honorable Earl Westwood,
Minister of Recreation, Con-
servation and Comm ercial
Transport in a meeting with
the Nanaimo Unemployed
Committee of the B.C. Feder-
ation of Unemployed.

According to a release is-
sued by the unemployed or-
ganization Westwood stated
that this would be of tremen-
dous value in the way of jobs
over the shipping out of iron
ore as is being done at present.

He also said that his gov-
ernment was not in agree-

thought the Federal Govern-
ment had acted too hastily
in signing the draft.

The unemployed committee
presented Westwood with a
brief which in addition to pro-
posals for the establishment
of a steel industry in B.C. and
Canadian development of the
Columbia asked immediate
action by the Provincial gov-

ernment on the following
proposals:
Moratorium on debts of

unemployed; medical cover-
age for all unemployed; un-
employment insurance to be
paid until a job is found; so-
cial assistance to be increas-

dard of living.
