After completing a two-year

Agriculture College in Guelph in
1958, Pullen worked one year

Farm convention
changes planned
The annual convention of the
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture being held in
Toronto beginning November 4
is being shaken up this year to
make way for plans for a single
farm organization.
Federation President Charles
Munro of Embro says the
closely-timed agenda of past
conventions will be abandoned.
Instead, delegates will be given
printed copies of all reports and
resolutions submitted, and any
of these can be discussed if the
delegates wish.
The resulting flexibility will
allow wide-ranging discussion of
the report of the six-man
committee on a single farm
organization — which will be
presented early in the
convention.
It will be a bigger meeting
than in the past. Invitations are
going out to the executive of all
marketing boards that are
members of the Federation, to
the boards of United
Co-operatives of Ontario and
United Dairy Producers'
Co-operative, and to the Ontario
government's Farm Income
Committee.
All these visitors will be free
to speak, but will not have a
vote.
The OFA hopes to have
Lionel Sorel, president of the
Union Catholique des
Cultivateurs as opening speaker
for the convention, with
Agriculture Minister H. A. Olson
at the banquet. Neither man has
accepted the invitation.
Mr. Munro is expected to give
his presidential speech on the
second morning, November 5th.

supervision, Huron County farm
people will have ample
oppOrtunity this fall and winter
