AMONG THE FARMERS federation of Agriculture Newslettc SCHOOL DISTRICT MEETING Federation of Agriculture mem- bers are reminded that Monday. May 6 has been set as the date for the local school district meet- ings. T h e s e meetings concern themselves with the appointmt of chairmen and secretaries. with the bringing up to date of member ships. with problems of concern to farmers and with the protection program offered by the Federa- tion to its members. May tlth was -picked as a date when it was felt travelling would be reasonably good and when there would be no rush of activity on the land. The meetings are to be held. unless otherwise arrang- ed. at the school and the secre- tary and chairman are urged to make the necessary arrangements with school officials. It is hoped that a large num- ber of farmers will make arrange- ments to set aside the evening of May 0th to meet with their neighbours in strengthening and creating interest in the Federation of Agriculture.

Nearly every case where boards get into difficulties or in curred the active opposition. mat- ters of levies was the one that pro- duced the pretext for court ac- tion. However. this question of lev- ies being or not being indirect tax- ae would appear to be pretty well covered by the following section or Bill 403.
