For the sake of clarity we reproduced the re solution. — RESOLUTION Parity of Income (W.A.C., A. F.A., S.F.A.) . Whereas the prices received by farmers from ferm products do not bear a fair relationship to. production costs; - Therefore be it resolved that we recommend the institution of .@ parity of income program for agriculture designed to main- tain the family farm, such pro- gram to provide for: (a) The establishment of do- mestic prices for farm commo- dities in line with costs of pro- duction and Canadian living standards. (b) The sale of agricultural products on the export market at the most favourable price levels possible, supplemented where necessary of deficiency payments. ‘c) The institution of a gov- ernment-sponsored surplus dis- posal program designed to move surplus food stocks into food de- ficiency areas. id) /The imstitution of a pro- gram providing for deficiiency s from the federal trea- be applied on a basic volume each farmer's production. resolution was defeated almost - straight east op- to it.

This deficiency payment will amount to 28 cents per pound and should mean a real addition to sheepmen's in- come. and also serve as worth- while encouragement to Cana- da’s declining sheep industry. The undertaking on the part of the Board was to bring the price of wool up to 6 cent’ per pound and as this is a year when wool prices have been quite low the bonus is of course jall the more valuable. | PEACH GROWERS | trade, obtaining minimum oo cost per unft the surpluses, either | wers’ farms or by ON THE FARM Numerous farm accidents and — the increasing use of potentially dangerous farm implements are 4ncreasing interest im the need for safer practices in the farm operations.

Other aspects of the safety | business lies im the very casual | attitude of many farm people to ithe use of our highways. To- days modern highways is a very different \proposition from | the road which ran in past years from the farm to the near- est town or village. In some leases the highways which pas- 'ses the farmer's door is part of a chain extending from Van- couver to Sydney, many of the: people that use these roads know very little of the fact that far- mers find it necessary to use” |these roads as service ways im their farm operation. { | No one can. with justice, ques- | tion the farmers right to move | | his equipment, trucks and trac- | | ters on the highway but it needs ito be emphasized that such movement must be in conform- | ity with traffic rules so as not |to endanger the farmers own |life or members of his family |and other treveliers. | FARM HOME | Farm_women in this province strongly - approve ‘of ‘legislation | to be introduced in the Alberta | Legislature providing for guar- antees for loans up to $2,000: for improvement of farm homes.
