,The president gave a review of, the
year's work of the Federation. One
-of the projeetS was the Fajen Forum,
in connection with which prizes were

sistance was givenwhen reqeested.
:P.ropetion pictures were shown in
Many parts of the count, with an at-
tendance of almost 4,000 at the shim -
lugs. The attendance at these show -
Inge was decreasing, and it was con-
sidered advisable to vary the pro-
grams with music and readings. Teas
given by the Junior Red Cross tended
to 'sociability and larger attendance.
Speaking of the hog -producers'
Marketing scheme, 11Ir. Sturdy said the
-response of farmers was not up to
expectations. Control of .the warble
fly Was another project Of the, • year,
and here it waS foaled. that voluntary
support_ was_ not_fortilcoraing, to ;an
extent to give COMPlete result's. kr.
Sturdy , also pointed out the variation
'among the different Municipalities in

-creased effort to ' belie the fifth -mill

The following reselutien was Adopted
enaniramisly : "Whereas the warble
firlias beenthe cause of serious fin-
ancial loss to the cattle industry in
'Ontario, be it resolved that this meet-
ing recommend to the secretary of
the., Ontario Federation of Agriculture
that he forward to the, Minister Of
Agriculture,Hon, Iennedy,
request that Provincial legislation be
Put int e effect to ;Make it cempul-
sory that cattle in the PrOvince of
Ontario' be, :treated to control this
pest." .
The guest steaker of the. afternoon
•was V. S. Milburn, secretary-treepurer
of the Ontario Federation, who Urged
stroeg support of the Federation so
that it might be an effective force in
the post-war era. More attention, he
said, would haVe to be paid to costs
of: production and under the proposed
WOrld conditions would have
to .be studied, and means taken to
•secure long-term • prices. ' In Britain
farmers had organized and had secured
recognition. by the Governraent in the
,fixing Of prices' after. a beard of
economists had agreed on average costs
of production. Canadian farmers, the
speaker urged, should organize hi such
strength as to secure representation
in an international union. •

having expressed his wish to retire
from the presidency, Russell Bolton
of Dublin was elected to that office,
