PRES. STERLING MacRAE

Addressing the annual meeting if the P. E. 1. Junior Farmers at Eharlottetown recently at which he was succeeded by Mr. Sterling Mac- Rae, Bloomfield, retiring President George C. MacDonald, St, Georges, ielivered the following President's 1-port:

"On December 1lOth, 1954 the F. ii. I. Junior Farmers directors eIected,me as their president for 1955. '

"To begin with we had only two groups and a membership of be- zivean 40 and 50. We had to get more groups organized and try and -ztiniulate interest. in the or- ganization or else we would not have a Junior Farmers Federation very long. The Short Course which was held in conjunction with our annual meeting was successful and some interest in Junior Farmers was evident among its members. Our annual meeting was well at- tended and the resolutions com- mittee brought in some very good rcsolutions which were as previous-

This was only P8111! true and the Department was soon informed that last year in 1954 our president held more directors meet- ings than in any previous year and had really worked to make the Federation go. It would seem that the Department forgot that the duties of a secretary are to send out notices of meetings and act as a connecting link between mem-

competitions. Our crokinole com- petition had a large number of rntries. It was finally won by the Wheatley River Farm Forum team of Gregory Dorinn and Donnie ileroche. The debating competition had a small entry list and the Simmons and iiiacFarlane Shield was Presented to O'Leary Calf Club. it would seem- that debating is dying here on P. E. I. and I hope that the .lunlor Farmers will try and revive it. There should be

ior Farmers to find it. It is most regrettable that interest in debat- ing cannot be given a shot in the arm. "I would like on behalf of the P. E. I. Junior Farmers to congratu- late the croklnole winners and the ilchating winners on their achieve- ments and wish them every suc- "rss in the future. YETV SECRETARY

”0pr genial secretary,Morris l)i3.'.i('()n, resigned from the Depart- merit of Agriculture and also re- signed as our secretary much to our sorrow, Thus we had to get a secretary to fill Mr. Deacon's shoes. in order to select a new secretary

County Agricultural Represents- tive. and asked him to send out notices to all directors concern- ing the meeting and I also instruct- ed him to invite to the meeting anyone interested.

"We had at the meeting, Mr. J L. Dewar, the Deputy Minister, and some members of the Provin- cial Department of Agriculture. This was a Junior Farmers direc- tors meeting and I so your pro sldent was to preside at it; how- ever. I was asked to leave the chair vacant for the De ty Minister of Agriculture who w s to chair the meeting. This was the first of many surprises in store for me. The Deputy Minister came in and started the meeting. He began by unfolding more surprises for the directors present. He told those pre- sent that:

"(ii Considerable money was spent in November. 1954 by send- in: Junior Farmers delegation to Ontario with no apparent success and thus it would seem to have been money foolishly spent:

"(2l He mentioned tthat the sec- retary for the post number of years had been a Department field- man and that the secretary had to do all the work. He seemed to think that the yiesidants of the Junior Farmers Federation were not doing this work and were giv- ing the secretary all the work of the organization:

"(at He mentioned that in the future the Department was taking lcsve of the Junior Farmers in this way of providing a secretary and that the Junior Farmers would have to stand on their own feet. He mentioned that the Junior Farmers would be given the services of the Department stenographer and slso Paper as well as envelopes. He also stated that the Department was behind the Junior Farmers in

but it would seem that some of those present were of the opinion that the Junior Farmers were al- most dead and soon could be sent to the undertaken for embalming. Following this they would laid to rest in our red Island sol and conveniently forgotten.

"To the surprise of those Pfe- scent at the meeting the supposedly ncsr dead Junior Farmers came back to life and countered some of the charges of the Deputy lVll7'l-ii9"- it turned out that the meetiniz will not going to be one-sided and the Junior Farmers had some things to tell the Department. 9

of our directors and a fine one she is. She took over in a tryping time and came up with a wonderful performance. She really deserves credit on a fine job well done.

ON THEIR OWN

partnient was Farmers by having their own sec- retary would be more likely to succeed on their own. This might be true but how can any organiza- tion be expected to succeed with- out some means of guidance? This is especially true of a youth or- ganization. Where would the 4-H clubs be if they had no leaders and adult directors to guide them? It would seem that this was the excuse the Department needed to get clear of the secretarys hip of the Junior Farmers and it was a poor excuse

minded the Junior Farmers that when they had their own secretary they were going ahead; but the Department failed to mention that this occured in the first two years of the Federations existence. It also did not mention that since 1950 and up to April of 1955 only one Junior Farmers was organiz- ed and that was done without the help of the Department. I wond- sr why they neglected to mention this or was the Department asham- ed of its record.

ONE GROUP LEFT

since folded and only one, the last one organized is working today. The Department had led the Jun- ior Fsrmers for years through the secretary and now cut loose the Junior Farmers and told them "to paddle their own canoe" with out any pilot to guide them. It was tough on the directors to try and keep the Federation going, inter- est was st its lowest ebb and we had no one to give us advice as when we had our fieldman secre- tary to guide us. After we appoint- ed our new secretary we consid- ered how we stood.
