"If the lrovincinl Government would wake up. we would have lit- tle trouble from the Dominion Gov. crnment," was the opinion ex- prgisred, by‘ cBrenton.

The meeting was addressed by Hon. W. H. Dennis. Minister of Agriculture. Mr. J. R. Suther- land. Fredericton, Daiay Superin- tendent of New Brunswick. Mr. W. E. Davies, Moncton, Dairy Produce Grader and Mr. W R. Show, Deputy Minister of A511- culture. A short address was aL=o delivered by the President, Mr. J. J. MacDonald and the report of the Daily Superintendent. Mr. W. L. Brenton, was submitted. The field Promoter for the Province, Mr. B. O. Wright. also delivered a report o: his work.

on. W. H. Dennis, Minister of Agriculture. welcomed iihc daily- men on behalf of the Department and Provincial Government.

He expressed the hope that the deliberations of the meeting would be beneficial to the members at- tending.

Admonishing the farmers to prac- tice economy in all their farming operations this year he pointed out the great need for agricultur- al products during the war. Each one had s duty to perform for his country, he reminded the farmers gathered in convention.

Financial Statement

The financial statement of the Association showed a. satisfactory balance on hand and at yesterday afternoon's session the amount of $1.000 for assessment was voted.

The report of the Dairy Super- intendent-, Mr. W. L Brenton, ap- pears below and also the address of the President, Mr, J. J. ne- Doneld, Glenfinnim, who presided at the meeting.

Mr. J. G. lllacLeod. Hampshire, on being informed thnt the Cen- tral Creameries refused under pro- test to pny their Provincial tax this year, claimed that. the Com- pany was right in refusing to pay the tax as tihey were a joint stock company.

He claimed that the factory st North Wiltshire had shifted from cheese to butter and were under the Parent Act although they had never shifted their Incorporation Act. He maintained there was no such company in Canada. as the North Wiltshire Dairy Company as u. result. It, is a cheese factory, he added.

The Central Creameries is a joint stock company the some as the others and for this reason should not have to pay the Provincial tax, he concluded.

Mr. W. L. Brenton agreed with the remarks of Mr. MncLcoci in regard to the joint stock com- panies and said that it was time the situation was straightened out. He added that an appointment

The Directors appointed for the coming year are: Prince; County, Mr. Inc Praught. Grand River (rv- electcd): Queen's County, Mr. Wal- tcr Buntain. ustico, (re-elected): Mr. J. A. Ma Ileod, Primrose, (re- elected).

Mr. l. C. Helm, Dc-Sllble, in a few mmnrks. said there was a tendency among Island farmers lo buy too much imported feed which was not a healthy thing to do. The basic feed should be supplied on their own farms. he maintained.

Mr. I. J. MacDonald, President. in his opening remarks welcomed Mr, But erlurd Dairy Superin- ‘enrlem of N. B.

He traced the production of but- ter fat in the Province over a per- iod of years which showed a grad- ual increase ‘vith the exception of last year when many obsfncles af- fected tivo pi duction.

There was a. bonus bv the Conservative was a good bonus and given in the right wav on the finished article. “I am not bringing in politics, gs 1 am a, Liberal, but. the method used m paving bonuses under the Ben- nett; Government was a good one and lad no tails attached to it." he said. "At present we are at the mercy of the Inspector in the mut- ter of receiving bonuses" he added. A cold stor e would be alright in some central n ace but there was no need of such a plant up until the present time. he continued, If we are not going to sell the cheese our- selves there would be no need of a cold storage as the business men would handle the product. he said. "The Provincial Government has enough to do facin a debt of $10,- 000,000. without as h1g1 them for furtler expenditure, e said re- ferring to the cost of a cold stor-

age.

The score of cheese required for s bonus is too and Wits set by the Department of Agriculture. he said. It. will mean the creation of a lot of offices and the farmers are being fleeced, he concluded.

Mr. Brenton. in answer said that there was note proper piece to cure %ileese ‘fin the" lat ‘present.

Mr. J. H. Myers. Hampton, said that the dairy industry was the leading one in the Province.

He spoke o the gloom which was apparent nt e day's meeting.

to Mr. Dennis made very gloomy remarks. "Perhaps there is a reason." he d.

He claimed that the farmers of P.

. I. and Canada were getting it pretty tough today.

"Departments of Agriculture and fieldmen have always fold us that we sizould make two blades of grass grow where formerly only one gi-elv," he said, Th talk should be stopped and the flel of the Depart- ment should be in getting better markets.

The Department should also lee to it that the farmers got a profit- able price for their roducf-s and ihev would do the res the speak-

er maintained.

" e cost of production mutt be brought down the Minister o - culture said. but how can s be done when machinery is I811 priced?" Mr. Myers said.

He advocated the farmers to keep on dDTOCIIEIIKd and look for bright- er ays ea .

The present cheese bonus ls not n fair deal. he maintained.

O-

Cream and butter grading was made compusorv in 1936-37 in New Brunswick. Cream mading is - wavs diflcult because it is ha-rd to Ilet graders to maintain uniform- ity. Competition among the cream- eries. is one of the reasons for this: competition among the truck driv- ers is a contributing factor also.

Province, the speaker claimed. A large ousnfitv ls also stripped to Nova scotip.

It was necessary for the chese factories to get assistance from the Government to pievent them from going out of business. He stressed the need of supplying the home market with dairy products.

New Brunswick last year man- ufactured the same amount of cheese as this Province. he claim- ed. They produced 556,000 pounds.

He spoke of the success of cheese auctions held in New Brunswick. This system of marketing the pro- duct. has fallen off during the last few years,

Some of the salesmen would not stick together and sold below mar- ket prices and this was the len- son for the decline, he continued.

Cooperative Plan

The factories are trying to work out a cooperative plan for the mar- keting of cheese. Legislation to form a Natural Products Con- trolling Act was passed by the Government. It is a compulsory plan but depends on the voluntary vote of the factories. The majority of patrons of the cheese factories had to vole in favor of going into

the scheme. The majority of the factories voted in favor of the Cheese Marketing plan. he said.

This legislation provides that all the cheese marketed in the Pro- ‘vlnoe must be done through the Board he said.

The Province has been supply- ing fhe local markets with cheese under this plan but none has been exported.

A marked improvement has re- sulted in New Brunswick because it. was graded under proper condi- tions, he calmed.

The cold storage for cheese in the Province where the product is cured has proven e great benefit, Mr. Sutherland declared.
