The ones most popular were: "Marketing" and the first two series on "Farm Life." Then, too, of the later meetings we could reafl very hot criticism on the margarine ijuestion and its effect on the mixed farming of Grey, most of the For- ums petitioning the government on the matter. We are sinc^erely sorry for the few young: people who did not ha\c courage to start farming these later years. One couple, reporting that in two weeks the drop in the price of cream meant $12.00 less per week for them, is the young wife said: "It just means the difference between living and existing." What would the people who holler for .?horto hours, more pay and cheaper food all in one breath, think if their pay check was cut $12-00 per week and their expenses remain the same or were clinubing up. Their turn may come, too, soon, for the di'op in the price of cream has taken many thou- sands of d«llars out of circulation in the last two weeks in Grey County uloiie. -â- Vre we going to see cheap food and no money to buy it? The last series, according to the reports, was the least popular sub- ject of ail, not because farmers are againsc paying Income Tax as a whole any more than other group- of people. The main reason is â€" Farmers are not bookkeepers and, as a whole, work too hai-d through the day to bother keeping books ana their business does not pay well enough to keep the necessary hel{> that their fann demands, much less engaging someone to keqp books. \et, again, perhaps it would be bel- ter for all concerned if a true record of all farm business was kept, ii might paint a different picture to the people .who feel farmers are just trying to evade paying income tax. .Vlaybe if the true cost of production of food was available, it would help iiie farmers' case more than it would hinder.
