Foote. President tDoug Mackie was in the chair. t Reports on discount buying were meagre, due ta the busy seeding period. A thorough dis- cussion on the preceding spe- cial meeting was entered inta and a vote ai appreciatian ironi Mrs. Tom Smith was read. Major Foate was introduced band presented a very informai and homey talk. A M.L.A. vias of little use if he talked al the time, said Major Foote. He should also listen well ta do a good job. An explanation of tax spending was given and if was stressed that taxes, re- gardless ai source, must ai a necessity caver the whole prov- ince, when spent. Although he thought well af the Federation ai Agriculture, Major Foote said that Premier Frost thought the Farmers' Un- ion was a fine organization witb great force and that there was lots ai room for it ta ex- pand. since it had already won great respect in the Provincial Legisiature.' Citing as an example, the region in which be once taught school, Major Foote deemed home markets, readiiy access- ible, were the answer ta better farm living in Canada. Strange- iy enough the speaker agreed with the Federal Governrnent in that more immigration was the answer to our home mar- ket problem. The unempioyment problern in Ontario was greatly exagger- ated, and certain monetary aid given cities, was used to reduce mili-rates, rather than relieve unemployment. Major Foote was emphatic in stating that, as long as we stood together there was flot much ta worry about, and again more immigration was suggest- ed. It was advised that organ- izations seek out their M.L.A.'s for help in their problems. Tri- bute was paid to Tom Kennedy for his life-long fight ta give farmers. some measure of au- thority in marketing their ovin products, and it would seern that novi, a start had been made. In conclaiding bis talk Major Foote strongly advised farmers ta organiize properiy and pro- tect their right ta live decently and show a reasonable profit. During the discussion period, the Union policy on parity pri- ces was expiained ta Major Foote, who had requested thisî information. After further dis- cussion Major Foote displayed another of bis many talents by accomnpanying on the piano the singing of "The Queen".
