War regulations were beginning' ta bear heavily upon esome pr6ducers and it was agreed athat unless some united front were shown, serjous hardships would ensue.

Thus a county arganiza- tian was decided upan and with Forbes Heyland as President and *Walter Reynolds, Sec'y-Treas., the Durham Coun ty Federation of Agriculture came inta being. For the next few years nothing spectacular happened. Somne me- thod for finiancing the new mave- mient bad ta ýbe arrived at and members secured. Requests were sent ta each local farm organiz- ation in the county ta appoint ai representative who would became a d irector and in turli a mission- ary ta get others 'ta understand and ta support the Federation. Under the able leadership of Forbes Heylartd, Wilfred Boxvles and Garnet Rickard who served as President in turn. supported bv,, IWalter Reynolds as Sec'y -Treas'. and the late Dr. J. B.
