In an effort to improve communications bet- ween members and the Board of Directors, the Federation has decided to meet within the County's villages and towns, "This first attempt was felt to be most successful," reported John DePutter, The meeting lasted throughout the day. Speaking on the land speculation tax which was designed • to discourage speculation, Mr. DePutter reported a number of concerned farmers. Hoping to cut back on speculation, the provincial government now taxes farmers renting out their farms and are subjected to a tax before they can sell it. Many farmers who are renting their land out due to poor health or retirement are feeling they are being victimized. The Federation has appealed to Honourable Arthur Meahan, Minister of Revenue, asking the provincial act be changed to allow certain situations. The Minister replied that he would look into the matter, and a letter was received by the Federation from the Honourable N. Newman, Minister of Agriculture, expressing sym- pathy on the Federation's stand on the matter. A motion was passed that a reply from the minister of Revenue be awaited. and if the production from plant breeding has increased 1 per cent per year over the past twenty-five years.
