URGE BOYCOTT The Presidentreminded the members to fill out the opinion poll that is found in the OFU paper regarding a buyer's strike. It would involve organized and non. unionized farmers across the North American continent to stop purchasing new tractors, corn. bines, cars, and trucks for three months, after which the strike, would be reassessed. This is con. skived' necessary as machine companies have said without apol. ogies, that henceforth, farmers can expect to pay 5 per cent mare each year for machines -and equip. ment. I t should 'be 'made per. fectly clear that this is nota fight against the local dealer or smallll business man. In order that farm. err maintain production they will have to continue to buy essentials 'such as used ersquipment, repai and services. The action program is directed only at the new equip- ment and appliances until such time as agriculture gets a square deal. " TAX TOPIC Mrs. Mike Penich, and Mrs. Jim_ Boak. Hqrtdcrafts.
