Farm © Forum: met March 12 at the home of Mr. an Roy Cox ‘to listen to’ the broadcast and discuss “Workmen's Compensation.” .. There were 28 ember: The Canadian Federation of Ag- riculture has for several years been most farms ene” accidents around the farm ox agree that agriculture “is. a hazardous industry. No attempt. has been made ‘in any. province in Canada to extend om Yet in'26 other countries including New Zealand and the United Kingdom, earners are included with scope of Workmen's Compensation ws.

However, in all except three provinces, individual farmers may: apt lor coverage under he Act. The exceptions are Nova Scotia, Quebec, and. Saskatche- wan. In New Brunswick: an am- endment was sed in 1955 bringing farm workmen under the Act, but it has-not yet come into force. : In Alberta, farm workers ‘may be admitted. if ‘the farm employer farmer, if he wishes, can_include himself and paid faimly workers under the provisions of the Work- men’s, Compensation. Act. ‘ost’ provinces require. the e yearly earnings within a certain range. In Alberta he can state. his earnings .any- where between $1800 and $3000. He is then assessed at the regular rate on the basis of the salary which he ‘has given for himself. Anyone covered by, workmen's compensation’ is entitled to cer- tain benefits if he suffers an ac- cident during the ‘course of his The benefits are attractive and ‘include fixed monthly. pay- ments to dependents in case of the worker's death, periodic payments to the worker for the length of time he is disabled, and medical costs. If the worker is perman- ently disabled, he receivesta pen- sion for life in accordance with the degree of disability. The annual rates for Workmen's Compensation are set high enough to-provide sufficient funds to cover the accident claims in each in- try. Farm rates are based directly on, the Board’s ex- perience with the accident costs of the farm group. At the present time the rates for each $100 pay- roll are, in Prince Edward Island and Ontario $2; in British Colum- bia. $2.50; and in’ Manitoba and Alberta $3. e The Workmen's’ Compensation Boards in all provinces encourage theasures to cut down the number { accidents in industries covered by the Act, but it is more. diffi- cult to organize accident preven- tion on farms’ than it is in fac- ories. The individual “farmer must be responsible for whatever ness pays direct dividends to the farmer. ‘It will also be. an im- portant factor in keeping down. the costs of workmen's. compensa- tion: for agriculture.

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the: wisest. of mankind achieves Prairieville Farm Forum Talks Compensation Prairieville Farm Radio Forum met at the home of Mr. Hugh K.° Thompson Monday evening. What is the general opinion of farmers with regard to Work- mens Compensation, in these days of high powered. farm machinery dare he take the risk of not in- suring himself and his hired help against: accidents? We think it is to the farmer's time, as there_are few in propor- tion that have taken advantage of this. cover: The employment of hired, help by farmers is mainly seasonal and it is difficult for most farmers to: estimate the: amount they will pay and the’ number of men they will hire during the: year. We believe that in the not too accidents, especially dence of workers being hurt in using farm machinery is increas- ingly higher. This was the last discussion meeting of the 1955-56 season. The next. meeting will be aC.B:C, broadcast reviewing programs taken: throughout the year, and will be held at the home of.
