Sponsored by the Agricultural Committee of County Council, the meeting was called to order by Reeve W. H. Purg- sley of Sutton, chairman of the Ag- ricultural Committee who called on iReeve Jas. Rennie of Markham and secretary of the committee to pre- side. The speaker of the day, Mr. H. .H. Hanna-m, President of the Canâ€" adian Federation of Agriculture had just returned from-attending provin- cial federation meetings in Western Canada and outlined to the meeting the business-like progress being made by the farmers of the west who are .really investing money in the organ- ization they hope will some day give the farmers a place in the national economic programme of Canada, not thy entering politics but rather by (placing their farming interests first, along with that of the nation and their individual choice of politics second. “Inf farm prices had kept pace with manufactured goods, according to to-day’s price of a grain binder to the farmer, butter would be 50c. per lib. instead of 21%c., hogs 15c. per lb. instead of 8’7éc. and wheat $1.50 per bus. instead of 70c,” stat- ed Mr. Hannarn. “All wealth" con- tinued the speaker, “flows to the city, not from it, since it must come in the first place from one of the four basic industries, lumbering, mining, fishing or farming where nature provides the resources to be developed. No government is going to run to a multitude of organiza- tions to seek the opinions of the farmers of Canada so we must unite our forces under one head and put a man on the government’s door step at Ottawa to keep the farmers in touch with the government and the government in touch with the fann- ers." Mr. Hannam assured the meet- ing that plans are well under way for this now. V. S. Milburn. Secretary of the Ontario Federation discussed some of the problems that come up and how a county federation can assist with these. As secretary also of fine Cream Producers he pointed out the need for some strong hand in the switching of cream to cheese production as the present sur- plus cf butter is bearing down all dairy produce prices and we have a shortage of cheese \\'liich.»Great Bri- tain is contracting for.

Tomlinson managed to get a hit ‘in ,the second but he died on second base when the r-cxt went down in Order. The Hill boys continued their steady barrage in their half with three more runners scoring, to lead by an 11-0 score. Newmarket made a mighty bid in the third. getting three men on 'base with two away but Tomlinson failed to come through with a hit. Richmond Hill showed no mercy on the left-liander and pounded out six hits in this inning which netted! '.lii'€G runs. In the fourth Newmarket still were unable to hit Stcng with the. result no runs were counted, while rthe Hillers netted four more runs for a total of 18 in four innings at bat, vui‘nich a fair average in any league. The fifth inning saw Niewmarket break the jinx when Luck cracked out a double and scored on an error. ‘The Hill went down in order, as Newmanket finally decided to throw in their ace liurler, Wes Niles, with VanZant going in to do the back- stopping chores. The s.xtih inning accounted for no runs as both sides went out in fast order. The seventh inning proved to be the big inning for Newmarket, what with Stong tiring somewhat and the team in general helping the visitors' cause by several fumbles. Before the smoke of battle had cleared away six runners had crossed the plate before Jimmie Crean made the final out on VanZant’s bid for a hit to end the game. The final score was 18â€"7 in favor of Richmond Hill. In their return exhibition game with the classy Oshawa outfit on “'edn-esday night the Richmond Hill boys started in where they Left off on Tuesday night and collected a total of 13 runs to defeat Oshawa by the lop-sided score of 13â€"2. Tuesday night of ram wr-ek Rich- mond Hill will play hosts to the fast-climbing Aiiroiaiis who have jumped from cellar position to the top rung. This game should be well worth the price of admission as in their previous meetii‘g in Aurora these two teams played to a 5-all deadlock.
