Following up his campaign ‘for a reorganization _of the Prince Ed-

ward Island Federation of Agn- culture. R. Allison Profltt. prasi.

dent of the Provincial Federation, announced yesterday that the sub. ject would be discussed at the annual meeting of the Federation

to be held in Charlottetown on Pebruary 24. '

To prepare for this discussion. arrangements are being made to the Income Tax com. mlttee meetings which are being currently held throughout the Pr-i- vlnce, with discussions on reorgan- izing the Federation. The first of these meetings will be held this afternoon at O’Lea.ry at 1:80.

Subsequent meetings will be called

at Montague. St. Peter's, Hunter River and Charlottetown in the very near future. and prior to th- annual meeting of the Federation

on February 24. It is suggested

that these centres may becornl for the proposed regional branches of the Federat- ion.

In stating his ‘dos. originally. Mr. Profitt pointed out that the

Federation has outgrown its pre-

sent form and emphasized the necessity fordlrcct rural supports from local organisations, and the appointment of a permanent err- rotss-y. It has been suggested, stated Mr. Profitt then, that the Island be divided into six zones and that each zone have its own executive and directors who would elect the-Provincial officers.
