he said; the ;)roblem in the farming Industry had been that of chamkbig Itifrom what


■had b ^’n primirllyia wartime economy of c ose control by the Ministries of Agriculture and Food to a'peacetime economy which gave the cus­ tomer freedom to buy what he or she liked. ■ ■


Yet this freedom had to be


combined with giving the far­ mer the securhy needed if he was to make i living, which meant planning his work ahead.


Combining ss'curlty for the


farmer with f'eedom for Ws customer had made the an­ nual price reviews more and


; more dlfflcult'diirlng the past few years. Consequently, the Ministry of Agriculture and the N'F.U. had i I'ad to work out neyv arrangements w h ic h ,


would be taker Into account for the 1957 review, even though Parllment had not passed the ne iessary legisla­ tion.


' : THE WHITE PAPER The new arrangements set


out In the Government’s White Paper of last November pro­ posed that the guaranteed minlmums for p e farm com-.' modifies covered by the 1947 Act could not be: decreased by more than 4 pteii cent, of the previous year’s guarantee, ex­ cept for livestock: and livestock products for which the de- crea'se could no|t exceed a total of 9 per cent, for three years.

more than 2i per cent. In any one year to TOlch would be wadded or subtracted cost In


guarantees now: running at £l,i50m. including production grants could not be reduced by


creases or deer commodities during that year.


The Ministry and L'ie N.F.U.


had defined th Which' special take place and


the .airarigemejit6. for paying croii price guarantees.


Under a'proi osed farm Im­ provement scheme, details of which were beij ig discussed by representatives of landowners and farmers, ti e 'Government would grant 33i per cent, to­ wards improvlhg permanent fixed equipment, such as farm buildings, roadi bridges, elec­ tricity for ag'ijicultural pur­ poses and land reclamation.


10-YEAR PERIOD Over a lO-ydair period the


new grant would amount to £50m. which, together with the existing grants of £45m., gave a total of £95m.


With the new, grants and the


landlords’ and tenants’ contri­ butions the totai investment In permanent -fixed equipment might amount 1 o! £ 320m. or 30


per cent, mor; I than under existing grantd.' It was ex­ pected that'the new grants would especlalU benefit small farmers.


' I , i Mr. |Fort wis critical of


some remarks about, farm amalgamation made in the Whlte Paper as (well as by agri­ cultural, economists. He said these ,ought t\> come , about gradually, as they caused great personal proble ns.


D u r in g th e discussions


which' followed Mr. Fort’s speech, ' chief J amongst the immediate problems he dealt with was the d 'Op in the Milk Marketing Boaid pool priced' 5d. per gallon cn current pro­ duction at a 'lime when the seasonal costs of producWon were at their p idle.


ABLE ANALYSIS Mr. William ’ennington ex­


pressed the vl( ws of his col­ leagues in' a r imarkably able analysis of th£ pauses of the fall In price v filch he attri­ buted largely the Import of Argentine beef, :

beef market th ; dairy farmers had kept oldBi cows In milk production, anc so In addition to: a favourabe autumn for milk production a larger sur­ plus of milk fame Into the market with' tne result that the pool price had been de­ pressed.


The result of loss of . Income

: iRl J- Spensley, of CUthe|:oe, It was ;truei that the eg
