g er reasonable and Just 1',:m:h:ili- deniends," said Mr. Ro- und MacDonald. p. sident of the p, E. I. Federation of Agriculture at the annual meeting of the die- ectors of the Federation held in Charlottetown yesterday. i "The first mslor Proiect on 0111' ,,,-0;;-arr: inil9il4" Mr. MacDonald "ad, ”was the potato plebiscite which was held in May. Your president conducted meetings at Charlottetown, Sumrnerside. 0'- Leary, Morell. Montague, Souris end knowing that .I was repre- nnting you As chairman at these meetings, I can truthfully say without fear of contradiction that everybody. regardless of who. they were or where; they come from. wee given a fair hearing and fair play handling by the chairman and .150 by any of the other officials of the Federation who may have been there. This was the policy

followed it. As you know the re- suit of that plebiscite is common knowledge and therefore .equires no further remarks.

"Just previous to the plebiscite campaign our secretary Mr. J. Lincoln Dewar was requested by the head of the Canadian Feder- mon of Agricuture to go to Ger- many as an immigration expert to sift and look over prospective im- migrants to this country who expect. ed to work in the field of agricul- ture on arrival. Now we fully rea- lize the great honour that was of- fered to Mr. Dewar in giving him this post when you coruider that there was only three from all Can- ada. Much to my regret I had to veto Mr. Dewar's acceptance of this offer as I lcnow we would have been short handed and terribly handicapped without his services. As it he passed Divine Providence knew w at was going to happen and Mr. Dewar's father-in-law, the late J. Walter Jones, died. Had Mr. Dewar gone to Europe he would have been absent at that time and we would have had to bring him back. Now that I have mentioned the late senator Jones, let me say he did not always agree with the Federation of Agriculture but on the whole he was really a good friend of the farmers, when you take s look at his Govern- mental policy. Jones never forgot he was a farmer.

NUFFIELD SCHOLARSHIP

This year Mr. Archie John- stone has won the scholarship and I hope that it will be the privilege of whoever is the Presi- dent to perform a similar intro- uction r Mr. Johnatone and

want e ybody to hate the fact hat we are winislnl in every sec- uid year. I sincerely hope that a number of young men from this Province will enter the same com- petition and maybe we can dig up a winner for 1958. Let's hope so anyway. I congratulate Mr. John- :;)ne and wish him a wonderful

WITHOUT PEEJUDICE

Mr. MacDonald said the Federa- tion endeavored to place a representa- tive in as many polls as possible in the time at their disposal. The appointees were chosen, not be- cause they were especially in fav- our of the Selling Agency, or against it. "but we made absolutely sure that these men were recommended by their neighbours and friends to not entirely with out prejudice."

"The result of that plebiscite you already know," he added,. "Just a few more votes and we would have had Central Belling. but I for one am quite willing to abide by and uphold the decision of my fellow farmers. Running a farm at the present time is no job for people who are either physically or ment- ally handicapped. Our national in- come is officially estimated to be down 2896, that is to say that for every 8100 a. farmer made in 1953 he now nets only 3'12.

"The best information that I can procure concerning our own Prov- ince as an individual unit, is about 3896 below i953. linrperts have told us that and personally I need no further proof than to put my hand in my pocket. I think I have made more money. I know I have tried hard, but overhead seems to be mounting all the time and unfort- unately sgricultural experts have not as yet devised a way of stopping this rise in overhead costs of fanning. but some time in the near future. somebody must do-

Our present Government has gone a long way in making that dream come true and I believe if our present Premier is given the chance he will carry that program of rural electrification which was asked for and written into the brief on more occasions than one which your directors annually present to the local house.

I may say we met in our board room under the joint chairmanship of your president and Mr. Stewart Wright, who is now the Deputy Minister of Agriculture. It was our first meeting, it will not be our last, and although we may not have accomplished much at the preliminary meeting we did break ground and we got acquainted with one another.

Everybody parted on good terms and the president of the Dealers Association, Mr. Lou Burge, has personally requested the pleasure of another meeting to be held in the future, that of course will be at the pleasure of the new Board of directors and the new presi-. dent. i

"We had seven directors meet- ings during the year. We held meetings in every county. We en- deavoured to the best of our hum- ble ability to familiarize ourselves with the problems in all three coun- tries. The only regret I have is that I have not been able to give more of my time, but in order for a president and a secretary to do a really good job then the man who holds this office should be paid and if every farmer on Prince Edward Island would con- tribute 33 to the Federation for a membership card so that we would; have a revenue large enough to pay a President and a Managing Director say 31,000 per year, or at least give him hired man's wages, they would get the greatest sur- prise and the most value for their 33 that they ever got in their lives. I am convinced that farmers can't exist in an organized society such as we have now unless they are organized under wise ledaership and are reasonable and just in their demands."
