THE ALPS DISTRICT The discussions at the Farm Forum meeting at Ross McCrae's on Monday evening were the most lively for some time. and there were great differences of opinion ex:pressed rgarding co-oper- ative marketing. Some farmers sell cream and eggs and fowl co-operative- ly and of them some are satisfied while others are not. Some members think that co-operative marketing should be extended .to include other products to be really successful. One of the main requisites is a good man to handle a co-operative, one who is capable and who also has the farmer's interest at heart, It seems there are many highly paid officers handling co-operative affairs thus having top great a margin between these salaries and the prices the farmers receive. To he efficient and to do what co-operatives Were originally meant to do fdr farmers it Must work for the farmer, Of course a responsibility rests on the shoulders of the farmers too, that of sticking together at all times. Mr. Donald Ireland, a member of the executive of the Bruce County Federation of Agri. culture and Mrs. Arnold were visitors at the meeting, Mr. Ireland spoke to. us regarding the Federation of Agri- culture. lie explained that one-fifth of a mill levy and gave figures to show the amount of money paid by the red- oral Government throughout the Do-, minion in subsidies.
