U.F,0: MEETING,
The "Club Reporter" submits the
following repoit of the 11.1e0. meet-,
ing'held last week:
The Farmers' Celli held its month-
ly meeting in Carnegie Library Hall
on Wednesday '.evening, Feb, 4, with
a good ceowd •in +atteadance. After
the reading of the minutes and other
opening plelintinaries, Mr. Holland,
the well knowitepoultryman of Ilar-
purhey, cleliveredee very instructive
address on, egg production, He ad-.
vised cleaatieess and proper -.care
and feeding. for the best results,, and
favors: the White Leghorn for egg
production.' He believes in selling
the hen fruit 'on the graded basis, and'
marketing .during the period of heavy
production through the .egg pool
started 'last spring by the United
Farmers Co-operative 'Co. A 'hearty
vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Hol-
land at the conclusion of his address.
Mr, W. R. Archibald gave a
thoughtful address on "The Duties
of 'Citizenship," He deplored the de-
population of renal Ontario and utter-
ed words of caution on our present
immigrhtion policy, maintaining that
no class of 'immigrant can take the
place of our own boys and girls on
the farms of Ontario. He criticized
our educational system, 'pointing out
that it had a tendency 'to educate the
rural youth for a life in the city in-
stead of for a.gricultural pursuits. Mr.
Archibald i a firm. believer in farm-
ers' clubs, where the agricultural peo-
ple can mingle 'together at monthly
meetings for the 'purposes of social,
entertainment' and intellectual im-
provement. They can in this way, he
asserted, solve many of the prob-
lems affecting their own industry, as
well as being a potent influence in
discussing and selling questions Of
national weal. e
Mr. T, E. Levingston, of Hullett,
read a most interesting report of the
December convention. of the United
Farmers in 'Toronto; at which he was
a delegate from out. club. He was
very favorably inlpressed with the
ability and personality Of the leading
men in the U.F.O., commented on the
wonderful spirit of optimism prevail-
ing among the delegates from all
over the province who were in at-
tendance at the convention, and pre-
dicted many years of prosperity foi
the organizatiqn. The U. F. Q. is
not dead as some people would 'have
you belieie, but is a very live in-
stitution, he declared.
