meeting was held this week at

The topic given on the radio for
discussion was "This Little Pig
Went to Market." This was a
very interesting topic, and as one
of our neighbors, W. L. Whyte,
took part in the discussion, this
made the discussion more inter-
esting.
It was decided we are in fav-
our of organized marketing of
most of our main agricuituraI
products in order that there will
be fairness to all producers, for
example --keeping the producers'
prices comparative with the price
of labour, feeds, machinery, and
textiles, also to keep stable mar-
e s. We have been warned that
surpluses of farm products may
develop in the near future. Our
National Advisory Council should
help to remedy this situation,
andthepeople should be educat-
ed to attend to the advice given
by this N. A. Council.

School which she attended at the
