Mr. Milburn stressed the value of the Farm Radio Forums very strongly as they provide a very effective method in obtaining farm - era,' opinions on any important question on short notice. Every type of .business Is working toward consolidation into a very few hands. Agriculture consists of both labour and capital and is never radical in its methods and is therefore the best foundation for a better day. The government has been surprised to find during the pant. several years that a cross-esetion of farm opinion is much Meme reliable than their own statistics, Any group in the township who would like to organ- ize a Farm Radio Forum may call on the President, W. J. Turnbull for assistance. The following officers ET .1' i EL were elected:- President, W, J, Turnbull; Vice 'President, .Stanley Machan; Directors, 'S.S, No, 1, Douglas Hemingway, Bert Johnston, Win.
