April lst at the annual meeting of the dominion organiza- tion, it was decided to adopt .a more distinctive name which would. also indicate its nature and purpose. The chief speaker will be H. H. Hannam, Sec. of the UFO. Coâ€"orp., Toronto, past Pres. of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and now President of the Canadian Federa- tion of Agriculture. Mr. Hannam is well known for his untiring efforrts on behalf of the farmers and is a very able and. well informed speak- er. The Agricultural Committee of York County Council last week re- ceived approval from Council of the steps taken by that committee to or- ganize the farmers of York County as a local branch of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. The Committee has called a meeting of representatives of all agricultural organizations in the COunty to be held in the Bugle Band Hall, Newâ€" market, on Monday, July 15th, to discuss the matter and elect a pro- visional executive and board. Each organization has been asked to send in one officer and one elected or appointed delegate for this meeting at 2 p.m. D.S.T. Any interested farmer will be cordially welcome. The Federation of Agriculture is therefore a federation or affiliation of all agricultural organizations with a view to providing one body through which the farmers of the County, Province or Dominion can speak. The, Dominion Federation embraces membership and representation on its Board from all Provinces except Quebec, the Mvaritimes being group- ed as one, and also several national agricultural associations. The On- tario organization now embraces thirteen counties and York if organ- ized, will make fourteen. A Street Dance will be held in King City on Wednesday, August 7.
