At. a recent. meeting of the executive cottncll of the Gov- ernment. this blll was cancelled as not. having the full sublmrt of the sh rs of the province. The Live Stoc Marketlnz Board and a few of Its members are anxious that the scheme be out. Into effect an they assert that a. local board with un- llmlted power of control would lm- vrove the hoz industry of this uro- vtnce and increase the revenue of the brlmarv producer. Althourth many farmers and shlp- pet's believe 1n 100 Der cent. co-over- atton ln the sale o! llve stock and other farm products as a desirable objective to be attained. yet. on the face. the scheme seems to be mo drastic. will meet with much OPPO- uuently. our co-opernt receive p serious set-back.

In view of the discouraging reports of recent. date comlnz across the Atlantic. farmers must realize lf they have not yet done so. that prices wlll become a secondary con- sideration. and the Mother country In her distress will depend on us to broduoetofeed her starvlngmllllons that. she may be_ left free to defeat Hlt er and all his hellish hosts.
