THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1917 oN APPEAL MEETS WITH SUCCE Page 1). | | @ { | (Continued from { tunately, the farmers in the Kings- | ton district had not made known | their wants, but the speaker advoca-| ted the enlistment of all men and/| | boys "willing to go to work on the | {farms by the business men's com-| mittee of the Board of Trade, so that help would be ready for farmers when the call came. Mr. Meek also pointed out that the! States had taken a leaf out of Eng-! land's book, in that were having the price of foodstuffs fixed for the con-! sumers. Prices were being arrang-| | ed so that the speculators would not | gel a chance to get in their work In all probability Canada would have! to take similar action. A very important matter brought | to the attention of the meeting by | Mr. Meek was the fact that the On tario Government reported that fall} wheat and clover had _been hurt by| the recent frosts, and that both crops| would likely be a failure. This meant that oats would have to be sown to fill the gap. This was in- | formation that every farmer should! have in order to help eut the situ-| ation, the Ontario Government had | | agreed to provide steam tractors for | every county. Tals entailed "an in- vestment of $40,000. They. would | be loaned to the counties and would | plow up more land than the horses. | 1 Plan Outlined. "The question was as to what the | city should do in the matter. The | speaker referred to the business-like | manner in which the city of Brant- | ford had taken up the proposition. | Brantford had a meeting of citizens and farmers, and arrangements were made for young men to take ja longer | vacation than usual, the time to be spent on the farms. Khe city was | canvassed for men and boys, and | with great success. Mr. Meek's suggestion, "which was {put in a motion, was that of having the business men's committee of the Board of Trade meet at once, and | | organize on the same plan as Brant- { ford. The idea was to make a can- | vass and get the names of all the | men and boys who would be willing [to work on the farms. These names should be registered, and then the | Agricultural Committee of the Board {of Trade would. have a meeting and {deal with the question with the] | farmers. Meetings should * be ar- | ranged for in the county, -at which * faddeases on the demand£ of the day could he delivered by men having {all the Tacts of the case. Mr. Meek also asked that the On- tario Department of Agriculture, {through the member for Frontenac | county, be asked for a grant of $200 {to advertise meetings in the county. Rev. Mr," Boyd seconded tae reso- | lution of Mr. Meek, and it was car- | ried by a unanimous vote, Collegiate Boys Response, Rev. J. D. Boyd made an an- | nouncement that was received with {much enthusjasm. It was to the ef- 'fect that 125 -boys of the Kingston + Collegiate Instityte had given their , mame to Principal E. O. Sliter as volunteers for farm work. He sug- gested that it. would be a good thing if arrangements could be made whereby these boys could be given 20th Century Spring Overcoats " GOOD VALUES.

He thought that per- baps instruction of this kind could be given the lads before they went to the country. Ald. Nickle suggested that an en- deavor be made to secure women who were deriving funds from the patriotic committee to take over the household duties of the wives of the farmers, so that they might give their time to, farm work. .He said that there were 72 women without i children on tae patriotic fund, and hg thought that they would help out if they were asked. The members of the committee re- garded this as a valuable suggestion, and steps will be taken to act upon it. School Committee's Report J: G. Elliott, chairman -of- the échool children's committee of the Greater Production Committee, sub- mitted a report, which was also re- celved with much enthusiasm, Be- fore reading his report, Mr. Elliott said that while in Toronto last week, he attended a meeting of the trustees' section of the Ontario Edgcational Association, and that body had Tre- ceived the plan to get boys to help out on the farm with satisfaction, and also approved of the action of the educational department to allow the boys to leave the schools with their examinations. It was suggest- ed that the teachers urge the schol- ars to help out in increased pro- duction, and the trustees went so far as to favor a longer vacation period for the scholars, say to the middle of September or the first of October, If it was deemed necessary by the educational department. The following report read by Mr. Elliott was adopted: "The school committee had a meet- ing on Tuesday and arranged to meet the teachers on Thursday afternoon in the Board of Trade rooms, when jhey would be 4 to co-operate n work gardening. The committee, after discussing, de- cided that it could do its best work in seeking to have the c Sardening under thy the |, | decided | of dndtations 40 be an arrangement outside of the the elie dtih first 'impressions.

Under the scheme ado-ted, the children and parents could com- centrate, and good work attained. School clubs might be formed under proper officer's, but this would have dommittee, though it gave its moral support to any such plans, It was considered wise to provide seeds, four kinds, onions, carrots, beets and parsnips to all children applying for them, the request being under the signature of the parents and for this purpose the Financial Committee of the Greater Product- tion Board, is asked to provide $100. It was suggested that as a stimulus to active work, prizes be offered for the best plots cultivated by the chil- dren, the superintendents of the Ag- ricultural Committee to be the judges. Further consideration of this suggestion. will be given, The committee feels that with. the active participation of parents and children much can ba accomplished and val- uable guantities of food stuffs rais- A Great Success Ald.

He has oceca- sion to be out of the city on Tuesday, and when he returned, he was flood- ed with applications from citizens who were eager to secure plots of ground. The campaign had been a| great success from the very start. Two teams were on the go all the. time, plowing up land. There was a call for seed potatoes, and they would be received in a few days, Two carloads would be required to meet the demand at present. The potatoes were being sold at cost. The assistance giv vgn in plowing the land, had Been thé means of stirring up much interest. Raising Poultry William Cook, who is the hustling chairman of the Poultry Committes, also submitted a report, and it was a dandy. Every house is being can® vassed r for people to' raise poultry with great results. Already 680 ap- plications had been made for chigk- ens, and only a few of the streets had been tanvassed, On ome section of Earl street alone, applications had been made for 174 chickens." Placing money in the bank had nothing on Mr. Cook's scheme in poultry rais- ing. The committee is working Hard | in every.way possible, and any eit-| izen who desires to get into the bus- iness is assured of all the asistance possible as the Poultry Association is ready to give expert advice, and hag the Live Stock department of the Government at its back jo give all the information desired.' It is the intention to have able speakers come to Kingston to give talks on poultry raising, and this will necessitate / the spending of money. The General Committee will be asked to dohiate money, and it will} be given. The Committee will make! a request: for $200 to carry on its work, and the money will be a good investment. s Babies' Cashmere Coats.
