The first_item on the agenda was

the President‘s report, by Mr. J. E. Dewar, New Perth. The report, wllicll was all excellent address and unique in the annals ot' the Association, inns- much as it dealt with the European War, was received with enthusiastic applause. it was as followsz-

“Gentlemen of the Dairy Association:

` Since we nlet ill this hall one year ago, we are confrollted by the grim spectacle of war, und While 0111' filif Province has not been trampled and destroyed by advancing and retiring armies, we are in a position, however, to realize its awful character by living in the Valley of the Shadow.

Dairy men of all others should be

thankful that in the midst of n world catastrophe tllclr condition has been improved. Though trade was panieky and shipments ullcerlain during the opening days of August last, this was soon replaced with confidellce, thanks to the protection given by our Em- pirc's Navy to the commerce of the seas. ` Operations during the past season have been marked by moderate and 'llteady.advancelnent, during the first part ofthe season pastures were ex- qoedingly succulent. becoming dryer 'art outumnapproacllsd, the dry wea- ther. howover, aided in saving a boun- ttnll I harvest.. supplying ample fodder for cattle' durng the fall and winter months. .The price of cheese has been .tho higllest silica the inception of co- ‘o erative .dalryirlg over twenty years ‘sEo.'--sllajlrom tlls view lwlllt °f milf' l`t`et`a'was'liever brighter than at Pre' nent for as far-.as we can read tlw fixture.

l tllillk these ilgllroa should coll-

Tile other ilnportftllt aspect of the

tlucstioll wllicll oi` into has been ell- larlzcd into the expression "Patriotislll and Productioll." Wllut are our pros- pects i`or production ill 1915?

A stinllllus is now being applied to

ollr efforts ily the needs of the Mother Country ill this time of peril.

it is needless to say that our farln-

,crs will respond to the very best of their ability.

I No body oi' lllell can be lacking in

the higher. patriotism whose calling is a consecration to the service of llulllanity.

There is no effective solution ofthe

help problem ill sight. The itllers in the great citics would be ns ullfit for the "farlners firing" lille as all untrain- ed mall would for the “trencllos." Dairy men can only make use of the help they have to increase our output ln the only way it can be increased by feeding our cattle better and it is n very etflzclivc method when taken up in earliest. There should be u greater area sown to fodder such as corll. pens and ‘-egeillbles.

lt. is a measure of disappoillllncllt

that the efforts to introduce alfalfa the king ot' fodders, has been some- what of ll. failure. This valuable plant tllnt has brought ulltold wealth to every country where t has naturally flourished, has proved too tender for our climate, its large tap root break- ing by the heaving of the land.

There is a variety known as "ever-

lasting Grimm" that has a spreading root, which writers clallll has grown and survived the cold as far llortll as the Arctic Circle. If it has never been introduced hore it should be Elven a trial. This is n favorable time to ad- vance co-operation. which was first adopted by dairy men and latterly found expression in the “Egg Circle lnovemcnt and which will ultimately extend to all animal products as well as the raw materials of agriculture.-

Co-operation has reached its highest

development. in Denmark, which s the ideal-agricultural country of the world.

The soil was naturally poor and the

v¢}im_a,t¢__l3ot_tlle _bes_t. Their land was exilausted"by grliin growing, but cdll- cation and co-operation changed it (into a rich and. fruitful coulltrv. Though small in area, it contains 1,150 cooperative slaughter houses. ¢ Through cooperative ntorelv of which there arc over 1,400 selling $20,000,000 worth of goods annually the farmers save on the oost. of what they have to buy; and to crown it all. it is ll farmer state with a farmer parliament. a farm- er ministry with a farmer point of viaw. And what. has been accomplish- ed in Denmark can be accomplished in Prince Edward island if the farmers instead oi' acting as suppliants would assert their supremacy by standing shoulder to shoulder.

in conclusion i wish to express my

sense of satisfaction at the clever manner in which our dairy men have answered the call or aid to stricken Belgium. that brave and devoted peo- ple who offered themselves upon the altar of liberty.

While their cup of bitterness is full,

'while their portion has been sorrow, devastation and death, it will ring flown the ages, thai they threw timm-
