The foundation •of the Federa- lion of Agriculture is the indi- vidual farmer in the township who pays his membership fee, either by direct levy ori his as- sesstnent o by a grant by his township council, to the town- ship federation of agriculture, If the township organization has so instructed the township council, this levy or grant may be paid to the county organize - thin and the county Will refund the agreed percentage • to the township federation. The county directorate is made up of an elected director from each township who is respon- sible for expressing the will of the farmers of that township. Affiliated groups alio have rep- resentation on the county board. representative from each coun- ty. This representative, in order to coy with the wording of the Corporations Act, is called a 'member and is responsible for expressing the will of the county at provincial level. Here again affiliated organizations have representation. The Canad- ian Federation is made up on the same basis. In this way the farmer in •the township can readily express his ()Pinion all the way to the dominion level. It is easy for him to attend his township Ah- nual meeting There he can give • • views and, if they are approved by the farmers in that area, they are on their way to influ- ence the actions of the Canadian Federation. • Co -Op ,Sales' Set Record A record sales volume of $62 million for United Co-operatives of Ontario's fiscal year ended September 30, 1957, was reported by Hugh Bailey, General Menai' ger,' • at the co-operatives two- day annual meeting.
