The late Mr. Snell was one of the best known and energetic cattlemen in Western Ontario, and although it may not be generally known he was. the pioneer of the co-operative movement amongst the farmers and stockmen in thatsection of 'Ontario an s• hipping their cattle direct to tll ,British markets. In the early part of I July when farmers and stocltmen wore at their wits' end as to Trow to get rid of their cattle, Mr. Snell cor- rectly sized up the situation con- ! frontingthem, took a bold step and booked a,lar•ge line of space, which he sublet to tile farmers who'we'.,ze thus able to ship their cattle direct to Liverpool and Glascow markets, 1VIaty of them went across with their stock and talus gained first -Band knowledge of the conditions and methods of conducting the business overseas. That the movement was a 011Ceees cin be testified to by all those who furnished the cattle for shipment, „organized by- Mr, Snell, The shipment direct of so many of the best Battle had an immediate- ' efect on values' of the cattle; still, in the llaiids of farmers, the net re- sults being that those who sold at Ironic at that Cine realized 7)1•ices 'nearly Its good as did those who shipped overseas. The co-operative movement thus begun was closely Watched by others, and, as -results were'ent4.rely satisfactory, the vol- ume of business' soon assumed very large proportions. As I handled the business I know something: of the difficulties that Mr. SneIl had to contend with in originating the movement and the heavy risks that he assumed in the event of the venture shot turning out as he had figured on, and,possessing this knowledge I can possibly, appre- ciate More thoroughly,' Mr. ,Snell's business capabilities- than: can those who only know one side of -.the' transaction. 1 can thus in a word, say-, that it was due to ' Mr. 'Sneli's enterprise that the co-operative exporting tines -p ofcattle 5t o Great t Britain had its beginning, and 2 consider that the farmers of Ontariia general- ly owe his memory a debt of grati- tude which they cannot pay as his sudden and untimely death -prevents reaping the reward which was so well earned.

LSI "The Bill will not let in Canadian wheat, Ind will save to the American fanner the right to raise a bushel of wheat instead .of: transferring that right to Canada.'' Mr. Fordney, in introducing the Fordney Emergency Tariff Bill which has shut. millions of dollars worth of Canadian foodstuffs out of the United States market: "If we are to build up a self-sustaining agriculture here at ' home, the farmer must be protected from unfair com- petition from those countries where agriculture is still being exploited."-- President rplaited."-President Harding.
