Hunter, Troop Leader, David who is a cub is Ontario County Federation of Agriculture The Ontario County Federation of Agriculture executive met on the 20th of September at the home of John Hamer the secretary. A motion was carried to forward the balance of one hundred dollars due the provincial organization since the budget had been adjusted. A motion also carried to give a donation to the 500 bushel potato club in the county. The Ont, Federation annual- meet- ing is being held the first week in 'November in Toronto and delegates were chosen to attend. Resolutions were discussed of pertinent concern to Ontario County farmers to be for- warded to the provincial office. One resolution stated that the Ontario county farmers felt that the Canadian farm produce markets are being used and have-been-used for some time for the sale of foreign farm products and they ask that necessary tariffs be applied to at least raise the cost of the imports to equal the cost of pro- duction in Canada. Another resolu- tion .is in connection with the school tax on farm land. It is felt that some more equitable means could be used to collect this money. Due to the fact that the greatest value of the schools is absorbed in our industries and not on our farms, it is not right that farmers should absorb so much of this cost. One reasonable suggestion was that every adult should be re- quired to pay educational tax. This is not a new problem for rural people but one which is growing more pro- minent each year as the cost of schools rise and the Federation would like to see a study of the problem carried out. The group decided that with the ex- ception of December the Federation month throughout the winter. County Fairs ONTARIO AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES' FAIRS 1955 BARRIE .......

As in police con- trol of highway hazards, the majority of drivers require no attention, but aitention, but the speed-fiend regu- ishment. "The same situation applies to our public-owned forest properties where fire prevention ean only be brought about by making a stern ex- aniple of any jierson found guilty of misconduct in his land-clearing, or his failve to extinguish his campfire or lighted tobacco. .
