Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Macdonald College Journal, Vol. 2: February 1942 The Canadian Federation Of Agriculture, meeting in Ottawa on January 28, 29 and 30, urged the Canadian Government to make plain just what would be promised to agriculture in the way of price support to offset the drain of manpower from agriculture to industry. President Hannam pointed out that the challenge of increased pro duction Of farm products could only be met if (a) farmers are assured the fullest possible quota of skilled manpower, (b) if farm income is adequate to pay skilled help, and maintain and increase farm equipment and stock, (c) if farmers are given guidance on production goals, looking ahead for more than one year. Mr. Hannam promised that Canadian farmers could be counted on to put forth their utmost efforts in 1942, but emphasized that agriculture must be considered a war-time industry and must have proper allocation Of priorities in respect to metals, chemicals, gasoline, rubber, electric power, machinery and manpower if the desired levels of production are to be attained; Hon. Gordon Taggart, Foods Administrator for the Wartime Prices and Trade Board told the meeting that prices of farm products generally, with the exception of wheat, are at least fair in relation to any standard that can be set up. He said that the Board would keep careful watch on the possible influence which the labour situation might have on the supply Of food products.
