President Rus­ sell Bolton, Dublin, acted as chair­ man, with W, V. Roy, Londesboro,; as secretary. Increase *‘Pemanded'’ After a full discussion In which a number of speakers participated, the meeting acted on a number of resolutions. Ap submitted originally the first resolution requested a 20 per -cent increase in the ceiling price of all farm products without reference .to subsidy. The following resolution was moved by iR, S, McKercher, Dublin and seconded by C. It. Coultes Bel­ grave; “We, the Huron County Federa­ tion of Agriculture at a public meeting, held in Clinton on April 24, view with alarm the existing conditions as regards the agricul­ tural industry of the Province, and in view of the fact that an increase lias been granted in the majority of commodities affecting the pro­ ruction of farm products; / “Therefore, be is resolved that we demand an increase of 30 per cent on all farm products'-over the ceiling prices prevailing as of the above date; and that present sub-, sidies and premiums be continued.’ This resolution to be sent to the’ head office of the Ontario Federa­ tion and the local members of the House of Commons. Favor Service Men The following resolution was mov ed by Roland Williams and sec­ onded by Earl Whiting: “That this meeting go on record as favoring that the Dominion Gov­ ernment pay the 12.J per cent raise in farm machinery prices for ser­ vice men starting farming up to December 31, 1947." To Withhold Cattle The following resolution was moved by John W. Armstrong, Londesboro, and seconded by Rus­ sel Knight, Brussels; “That this meeting recommend to cattle producers of Huron Coun­ ty that they withhold all cattle from market until the present beef situation is clarified." Daylight Saving A resolution-was passed unani­ mously on motion of Hugh Hill, Carlow, and W. R. Lobb,' Clinton, that -the Federation go on record as being opposed to daylight sav­ ing time. To open the .meeting, John Armstrong, Londesboro, gave a port of the annual meeting of Ontario Beef Cattle Producers’ sociation. W. V. Roy read the minutes of the last directors’ meeting. The original McKercher Coultes resolution was read to the meeting and thrown open for discussion. The mover, R. S. McKercher, de­ clared: “I think the thing strongest in our minds is the 12£ per cent in­ crease in the price of farm mach­ inery, Perhaps the manufacturers are right in asking it. But what we do want is a rise in our own prices to -help pay the extra costs of machinery and labor.” He referred to the increases ask­ ed by labor and impending increas­ es in price of electrical services; and other things at a time when a great many farmers are installing electricity on their own farms. We feel we should have something to offset the expected increases," he said. The seconder, Charles Coultes, said very that held coming. Fencing also had gone up 1121 per cent April 1. Mr. Coultes said it was almost impossible to get any electrical supplies today because it is expect­ ed a 30 per cent increase will be granted any time. The paint manu­ facturers also were holding back. “I dont think the farmers would be amiss in holding back cattle now you’ve got a place to put them on the grass," the speaker declar­ ed, “It would not be a great hard­ ship to hold cattle off the market.
