James Donaldson Appointed to
Dominion Dairy Produce
Commission
The district has been signally honor-
ed by the appointment of J. Donald-
son, of Elina. President of the West.
eru Ontario Dairymen's A.ssociation,
to the Dominion Dairy Produce com-
mission, which will handle the export-
able surplus of Canadian dairy pro-
duce, including condensed milk for the
cuerent season.
Last weekMr. D011aiag011 SIMS in re-
ceipt of the following comtuunice,tion
from Hon, T. A. Overate minister or
agriculture, advising of his appoint-
ment to this very important commis-
sion,
"The government has been advised
by the Imperial authorities, that they
propose to appoint a Dairy Produce
Commission to handle the exportable
surplus of Canadian dairy produce, in-
cluding condensed milk, for the season
of 1018, this commisslue to replace the
cheese commission, which ceased
to exist on the 31st ult.
Ib has been agreed that the new
commission will consist or the follow-
ing persons :--The chairman of the
Alifed Provision Export commission,
New York, or his deputy ; A. J. Mills,
of the Allied Provision Export Qom -
MN. Jalere Alexander,
Alottereal ; J. A Ruddick, Ottawa, to
represent the Minister of Agriculture ;
Dr. J. W. Rohm -tette, to represent the
Canada, Food Board ; Jas. Donaldson,
of Atwood and Alfred Riendeau from
Quebec, to represent the producers.
The selection of two dairymen on
the board to represent the producers,
is the outcome of the appeal made to
the government at Ottawa, on Febru-
ary 21st, by the Baster') Dairymen's
Association of Cameo, attended by
Mr. Donaldson, as Western Ontario
representative."
No doubt dairymen generally, will
approve or this move, end have confl-
dome in Mr. Donaldson and his
fellow appointee, as representative
from Quebec., that they will protect
the dairy Inteieets and particularly
the cheese inditstry, which has been
haudicepped in competition with the
condensed milk factories by a price of
21ec having been need by blie Imperial
authorities last seasno.
Me. Donahlgon is ',removed to give
asettranne that thisseaeoethere would
be an advance in the price of cheese,
such as would permit fair erunpetition
with the condenseties. Just what,
this might be he was not in a position
to say.
