Independent Dairymen
Form Association Here

Independent dairymen of the
Valley organized at a largely-attend-
ed meeting held in the Masonic hall
on Saturday afternoon. Little time was
wasted by irrelevant discussion. Itap-
peared to be generally felt that the
life of the industry depended upon a
solution of the prevailing deadlock,

Clearing the way for essential con-
ditions of organization was appoint-
ment of & provisional board of direct-

| ors with instructions to proceed with

incorporation, A membership of 800
Was anticipated, Which, coupled with
co-operation of the F.V A. mem-
bership, promised in a letter read to
the meeting, augered stabilization of
the industry within a short time.

Mr. S. H, Shannon of Cloverdale oc-
cupled the chair. and Mr. J. L. Starr of
Sumas Prairie wrote the minutes. The
provisional directorate included these
two producers, and I. O, Jones (Clo-
verdale), C. H, Evans (Chilliwack),
G. M. Smith (Ladner), A, H. Weston
(Matsqui), and L, Leighton (Dewdney
As soon as incorporalion papers ar
returned from Victoria the board will
meet in Abbotsford und set date of
a general meeting of the association,

‘History has been made in the milk

y in this Valley” said Mr, W.
‘ancouver member of the em-

eek,
ergency milk committee, who predic-| ;

ted that stabilization of prices would
not only provide farmers with a de-
cent livelihood, but improve employ-
ment conditions in the Valley.

Why is thre this small population
and poor state of business in Canada?
It is because the farmers of western
cannot sell their crops by ove
trade and have not good local markets
With these conditions, business can-

population
lon can prosper where
there are thousands of farms with no
market towns, as in western, Canada
today.

What is the remedy? It is that
the Dominion, Provincial and Mun-
icipal Government should combine to
offer free factory sites to manu-
facturers to put. market towns among
the farms in western Canada by immi-
gration of many factory people from
Europe.

At present the Tariff is expected to
promote Canadian manufacture by
excluding foreign manufactured goods

But that process s too slow. ‘Chere
needs to be much immigration of fac-
tory people into western Canada
from Europe. British manufactur-
ers should be inducted to put many
factories in western Canada.

Many people think that the farmers
market trouble is a financial problem

without giving free land to manufac-
