ANNUAL U.F.O. CONVENTION.
The following acectmt of the an-
nual convention of the U.F.O. was
handed 10 by. one of the delegates,
4 well attended and probably the
most enthusiastic farmers' convention
ever held, took place in Toronto last
week. There' were close to a thous-
and delegates present. Considerable
discussion on the political aspect of
the organization took place, and the
following resolution was passed un-
animously.
"Whereas the social, educational
and economic features of our move-
ment have suffered by our political
activities;
'And whereas an immediate partial
solution of our agriculturalproblems
can be brought about through co-
operative marketing of our ,products
on a cotmilodity basis and co opera-
tive buying of necessaries; activities
which can be mannerly sanded out by
nor organisation;
"And whereas as an occupational
organization we should be is a posi-
tion at all times to appeal to or criti-
cize any Government which may be in
power on matters affecting'- our in-
dustry or the common good.
"Therefore be it Resolved 'Chat
the United Fanners Organization of
Ontario take 110 political action as a
party, but confine itself to the aims
r objectslaid (Iowa - in its con-
stitution. a d lot t
stitution,
"Ansi Pie It Further Resolved that
since political action is necessary to
the full attainment of our aspirations
and ideals, we do not oppose the
formation of a political party which.
shall embody these principles."
The farmers seem to be getting
more impressed with the idea of co-
operation than ever before. Dr. Mack-
lin of the Agricultural College of
\Visconsindelivered a splendid ad-
dress on the benefits derived by the
farmers through co-operation. He

A little over a third of all the stock
going to the Toronto yards is handl-
ed by this company. The total of the
business handled.olf.cars this years:
Carloads 6,257; cattle 76,156. cafes
24,158, hogs 158,395, sheep 46,932.
Weekly average business $167,003;
total money value for the year $8,-
164,170. The fanners of 'Ontario are
reailiziug that it pays their[ to market
their stock through their own sales
department.
It will be seen from the above
'statement that the farmers organiza-
tion is still going strong, notwith-
standing the fact that reports are
circulated to the contrary by interest-
ed parties,

The farmers are quite busy getting
their fowl away.
