Kennedy whom he had known for years as a man of ac- tion and strong convictions and recalled the great work he had done at the time of the organ.iza- tion of the Milk Producers Associ- ations. Again back in office he was still zealous in farmers' in- terests and no party lines would deter him froma carrying out what f armers desire. Col. Kennedy, forthright and direct o! speech, said he had farm- ed for 42 years and had kapt gov- ' ernment men off, preferring to make his mistakes in his own way and pay for them bimsehf. Ha had just completed an extensive speaking tour of Ontario and had met the same kind o! people he was hooking at now. Ha paid fine trihute to Dr. Reynolds for bis work among milk producers and stressed the fact, hefore organiza- tion mihk was selling from .85e to $1.00 per cwt. After organizing, milk went up to $2.10 and has neyer since fallen below that 1 6 price, even during the depression.
