Hon. Eugene Cullen. Minister of Agriculture recalled the time when there were no farm groups organized in the Province. He noted that the Federation of Agri- culture came into being as a result of the membership of these various groups.

REPRESENTATIVE BODY

"The Federation of Agriculture is a very necessary and import- ant group and I think that we should not lose sight of the fact that it does exist because of these member groups which were formed before the Federation came into existence. 1 would sug- gest therefore that as a means of increasing your membership and attendance at meetings that a greater concentration of effort be made within these commodity groups. stressing the importance of having a representative body for agriculture in general through out the Province," he said.

Mr. Cullen made reference to a farm-labor conference which he recently attended at Ottawa. He said it was revealed that 60,000 male farm workers had left agri- culture for some other industry within the past year.
