principal by-laws at the meeting of
delegates, June 29, in Vancouver, is
already a big step. Undoubtedly it 1s
now necessary for the local organiza-
tion to put in some energy (particular-
ly so for the Abbotsford District Poul-
try Association), It seems to me that
at. first it is necessary:

().—To exactly establish the area of
action of the Abbotsford Poultry Assn.
(2).—To find out the number of all
poultry farms having over 200 birds.
(3).—Establish the number of poul-
trymen wishing to join the organiza~
tion, for independent sale of the poul-
try-farm products.

These data will give the possibility to
determine if the existence of Abbots-
ford branch of B. C. P. & E. Co-op.
Assn., with its own representative as a
director of Central Association is pos-
sible. Certainly we realize that the
several involved big firms, defending
their own interests, will do everything
to spread doubt and disbelief among
the poultrymen. Probably they will
find among the poultrymen, persons,
who, following instructions of these
firms, will agitate against organiza-
tion of sales on co-operative basis.

It is up to the poultrymen to decide
what is best, themselves. We can say
here, that one of the largest banks of
Canada has already expressed its wish
to give financial assistance to the B.C.
Poultry and Egg Co-op. Assn., and re-
mark that the export is af present so
organized that eggs loaded on board
a steamer can be immediately sold in
England, or even an advance can be
received for the bill of lading; finally
we will express confidence that farmers
of B. C. will be able (mot worse than
private persons) to organize the sale
of their products,

The history of the last 25 years con-
firms this belief. The leading coun-
try of butter and eggs—Denmark—ex-
ports all its butter and eggs to Eng-
land through co-operative associations;
the Union of Siberiah Creamery As-
sociations, long before the great war,
had its offices in England and Ger-
many, and later in Boston and New
York. The success of recently-organ-
ized poultry pool of Saskatchewan and
Manitoba is before everybody’s eyes.
But especially striking is the colossal
success, during the last 11 years, of the
Washington Co-op. Egg & Poultry Assn
which was able to export to the East,
of not only eggs, but dressed poultry
as well,

This last is especially important to
all of us, as sales of roosters 1s grow-
ing more difficult every year. Is it
possible that farmers of B.C. and Ab-
ford particularly, will prove to be less
apt to defend their own interests. ?
We don’t think so.

ps at Poplar hall, a resolution
was unanimously passed, calling upon
the three remaining members of the
School Board to resign.

Surprise and indignation were ex-
pressed that Mr. Smith, whose vote
was largely polled in the high lands,
should have betrayed the trust reposed
in him, and we ask that these three
members, in order to show their in-
tentions to the municipality as a whole,
are absolutely fair, should resign, and
contest this forthcoming election on
the question of building a High School
in Matsqui village.

We suggest that the whole matter
be held over until the January elec-
tion, by which time the subject of con-
solidating the High School can be
thoroughly threshed out, and put to
the public in a concrete form,
