Fartereas' CLUB' -The warmest and
most interesting debate of the season
as held in Broadfoot's school house, on
1, arch 27, When the subject," Baying
from Agent," was discussed, James
'Broadfoot in the chair. The essay pre-
pared by JaMes Landsborough for the
occasion, wf*h appeared in last week
issue of the EX.rOSITOR, was a clever pro- •
duction, in the way of exposing agents,
and in disclosing the dark doings of fruit
tree • agents especially. The essayist
seemed to understand the tricks and
schemes of fruit tree agents pretty well.
One point which weakened the effect of
the essay, to some extent, WaS its being
shown, by another speaker, that he, Mr.
Lanclsborough, had, of late years, beeu
doing a good. business as a fruit tree
agent hiniself. Nathaniel ()owns thought
people should unite together in order to
pet agencies down, and was of the opi-
nion that it would be more satisfactory
to purchase from the manufacturer than
from agents. He spoke very hard. of
fruit tree agents, tor buying up nursery
refuse and giving them out to farmers for
the best of fruit trees. Appleton Elcoat
believed nursery men cheated the public
in sending out useless trees, and not the
agent at all. But, if bad trees did hap-
pen to cense, the agent always got the
blame for it. He said that agents, in
trying to Make a sale, would very often
throw off a part of their percentage,
when the maisufacturer would not, con-
' sequently, the agent was the best man
• to bay from. Calvin Campbell said it
was the farmer's fault in buying from
agents. : Granges should be formed.; he
thought, combinations were as necessary
among fiumers as in anything else, and
that they should combine together and
buy from the manufacturer, on condi-
tion that they receive the percentage
themselves. The speech of the evening
was made by Edward Turner, in favor
of agencies. kb e thought people were
very foolish in baying from agents what
they had. no use foie while, on the other
hand, if an agent came round selling
what we were actaally in need of, he
thought we could bay to better advan-
tage from the agent than from the mann-
feature; and that agents have been of
great service to t le country, by having
ageigultaral • and other machinery on
head. from far-off e tablishments, so that
people can see and judge for themselves.
He spoke of the fe rful rascality in con-
neetion with the.fr iit tree business, and
said. that nursery men were to blame
very often for sending out inferior
• trees, rather than their agents. Some
of the speakers w14 wanted to do away
with agencies thought "granges"should
be organized them h the country. Mr.
Turner refuted tbaf argument by saying
that " granges " w re being organized in
Canada to -day, b grange " agents,
and . that they s mild be cautious in
adopting the " gra ge " system. Robert
Lan dsborough said that.= farmers were
the only class of Men, in the world, as
yet, without combinations, and that they
were. in many reSpects very ill used.
He believed it would require the united
voiceof the, people throughout the coun-
try, in order to effeCtually do away with
agencies. Samuel Carnochan spoke to
the effect that reliable agents were of
great service.to the people, in giving all
the information they could in then re-
spective lines of business, and also in
-supplying friim the factory, that people
niaY see and examine for themselves be-
fore buying. Sainuel Landeborough
made a few remarks against agencies.
He said that pedlars and agents were an
uncalled-for uselesi elasss of men, and
that" the most satisfactory_way would be
to purchase directfrom the manufac-
turer. 'Cyrus Turner spoke in favor of
agerieies to the effect thet they could not
be well done withont, and that, as far as
dishonesty was coueerned, the producer
, was often as far off. the mark as his
agent. Mr. Vercoe; Mr. Noble Whiteley
and Mr. Hamilton, Visitors., also aeldrese-
ed. the club. Mr. James Broadfoot,
chairman, gave the closing speech, and,
in behalf of.agenciee, said they had. been.
in the past of great service to the coun-
try, but he thought the time was coming
when they would be done away -with to
. a great extent.e--coe.
