McCague, Alliston, Ontario, was elected President of the Holstein -Friesian Association of Canada after having been a Director of the Association for 15 years. He is also currently first vice- president of the- Dairy Farmers, of Canada. In addition he -is a member of the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario and a director of the Canadian Federation Of Agriculture. Elected, as first vice-president of the Holstein'Association was Ross Marshall, Kirkton, On- tario; second vice-president Howard R. Laidlaw, Bramp ton, Ont.; third vice-president •Jean C. St. Pierre, Grenville, Que.; and fourth vice-president Gov't using polides laid down by Union For many years farmers have been "asking" governments for help. It wasn't until the N.F.U. arrived on the scene that far - tilers received many of the things they needed. The National Farmers Union .is the one and only national farmer controlled, direct mem- ber organization for farmers in Canada. In comparison the Canadian Federation of Agriculture is made up of Provincial Federations each Province in- terested mainly in if3 own selfish needs. A national farm policy would be impossible to. achieve in this organization. Recently, the Quebec farm -orkatiTzatio, delegates disagreed with the (ianadian Federation at their convention and walked out. Now, Manitoba and Alberta hog systems are competing for Japanese markets. This can only benefit Japan's marketing power. ROUNDUP ROBERTSON R. Bruce Reid, Mount Hope, Ontario.

Because of the national structure of the Farmers Union, governments are now using policies laid down by the Far- :. finers Union. Some of these policies are A two price system for wheat, guaranteeing a domestic price to Ontario producers of $3.00 per bushel. Deficiency payment on hogs ($5.00 each). A 25% rebate on farm taxes, as a result of petition and money N.F.U. members withholding property taxes. Special consideration by labour unions to keep grain moving during strikes at wgstelit,,,,ports, _, , Inputs, such as fertilizer and twine in 'bulk shipments at greatly reduced prices. An N.F.U. grains policy will probably be adopted. The Federation recommen- ded value on egg quota with no ceiling as to amount of quota held by any one producer, which would encourage vertical integration. The N.F.U. recom- mended no value on quota with a limit on amount held by any one producer. Policy was made for egg producers on N.F.U. recommendations. $2000.°° presented to Branch 109 by Auxiliary The monthly meeting of the Ladies Legion Auxiliary No. 109 was held Tuesday, February 13, in the Green Room.
