AGRICULTURE  Here are the facts:  Four times in the last five years cash farm income per farm has reached a new high in Canada. There is much to do in the farm field but the undeniable fact is still that the net earnings of farmers have been much higher in the five years of Diefenbaker Government than they were in the previous years of Liberal rule.  Income has risen on Eastern farms, but not enough. Farm credit expansion, crop insurance, ARDA, aggressive marketing programs, agricultural price supports and the now Eastern Feed Grain and Assistance Act designed to stabilize the price of feed grains for Eastern farmers and to improve returns to Eastern -farmers and feeders, forms a new fair deal for Eastern Farmers-a new deal that is urgent and critically needed and is an extension of the developing program for Eastern farmers that is a part of the National Agricultural Policy.  1. The Eastern Feed Grain and Assistance Bill: A quarter of the costs of Eastern farmers consists of the cost of feed for livestock. And this Bill was designed to stabilize that cost, to equalize prices across the provinces, to assur feed grain supplies and to protect, at the sam time, the interests of Eastern Canadian feed  producers. It was designed to increase the net income of Eastern farmers and to enable them to participate equally in the prosperity of Canada. The power-hungry Liberals destroyed it when they engineer the defeat of the Diefenbaker Government. But the now Diefenbaker Government will re-introduce it and establish it as part  The Fair Deal for Eastern Farmers.  It will mean that for the first time in the history of Canada the producer of livestock--beef, dairy, poultry, hogs-will know (a) that adequate supplies of feed will be available at all times and (b) what the price will be for many months in advance and (c) that the principle of Feed Freight Assistance has become permanent and (d) that they can plan their operations with confidence that their profit will not be crushed b fluctuating prices---they can buy, they can sell and they can borrow with confidence that the will not lose their labour and their investment.  2. Credit for Increased Farm Income as part of the Fair Deal for Eastern Farmers: Under the Diefenbaker Government the old, restrictionist Farm Loan Board gave way to the Farm Credit Corporation-to loans for development and adjustment. It became a farmer's loan fund instead of an exercise in banking. The amount that could 1 be borrowed was increased, terms were improved, basis for loans was extended. Loans are available for related operations-woodlot improvement, recreational development, tourist facilities. It is designed to increase farm earnings and broaden the base of Eastern farming. And above all, with ARDA, it is designed to strengthen the rural communities in Eastern Canada and to result, not in fewer farmers, but in more prosperous farmers.  3. ARDA: The Agricultural Rehabilitation and Development Act is a vast, comprehensive program to develop, in co-operation with government and the people, rural areas and resources.  The Diefenbaker Government's trust in the local people is personified in ARDA: it puts its trust in the conviction that the local people know ' best what is best for the local community.  It is pledged to protect the local community and the family farm. Where local people decide what projects and programs can best help their community to grow and develop, ARDA is there with the people and the money to help. It results in richer communities, improved social life, in new vigor and happiness in the rural communities.  4. Crop Insurance: ARDA will fail without generous farm credit and both will be hurt in the absence of crop insurance. The Agricultural Price Supports Act protects the farmer from a decline in prices. Crop insurance, made available and subsidized by the Diefenbaker Government, can similarly protect the farmer against a crop failure. It is becoming more generous, is spreading through the provinces and is a vital part of the Diefenbaker Government's Fair Deal for Eastern Agriculture.  5. Agricultural Stabilization Act: The level and tability of prices are vital to farm welfare. Crop insurance can be used to insure production. But the Diefenbaker Government passed the Agricultural Stabilization Act and set up a fund of a quarter of a billion dollars to under-pin farm prices.  The Government meets with the Advisory Board, representing farm organizations, to agree on ricer. And the stabilized prices permit the farmer  plan his production and know that whey ho markets his cattle or crops he will receive a fair price.  6. The Drive for Export Markets: The Diefenbaker Government, through its crop insurance, price stabilization, ARDA, farm credit and other programs of growth and development enables farmers to produce and make a good living, and then they have made a massive assault on the other essential end product-the sales of farm production.  Potato and cheddar cheese exports have been subsidized, flour mills have been built abroad, through FAVEX the Government has instituted a combined effort by fruit and vegetable companies to export to world markets. Through the Food Technology Institute research on new techniques and on marketing has resulted in development of new farm products that can be stored and shipped, and through the experimental drying station in Newfoundland it has created new products from fish and potatoes that are in demand in the markets of the world.  7. Special Measures: The integrated farm program of the Diefenbaker Government is designed to secure farming and farm income. But, when problems arise that are not met by the National Agricultural Policy special measures art undertaken-measures such as the special assistance to the wheat farmers on the Prairies, the potato farmers of Prince Edward bland and mixed farmers of Nova Scotia when their crops were damaged.  It is a part of the New Deal for Eastern Farmers that cannot be narrowly defined-it's the concern for the demonstrable needs of the farm community by the Diefenbaker Government when unusual needs are not met by the National Program.  It makes common sense to vote for the party that understands the needs of the Eastern Farmer.
