Mr. Grant is accompanied. by Don
Sutherland, Smithers, district agricul-
turist, and he was:introduced to the
mecting first by President Floyd Frank
My. Sutherland apologised for not hav-
‘ing spent more time in the Terrace sec
tion, but’ explained that when ‘he came
north he found it was unwise.to try
to stnulate production until: freight
rntes bad heen adjusted, and. some
measure af orderly murketing started.
He had worked with the associated
hoards of trade in these matters and
hid been suecessful in getting from the
CNR. ao material reduction in L.C.L.
rates ta Prince Rupert. In addition
f-bagwage enr service would be avail-
able on’ mixed trains starting July 1,
and the new rates would be effective
on this ear.

Gov ernment assintance had ‘been se-
curred in the matter of seed grain for
those farmers who were unabe to mak?
their uirchrses through regular chan-
nels. A Hit of one ton to each farm-
er Wats set, ind when npplications were
approved the grain would be delivered
at Terraee, but would have to be pait
for in November.

He complimented Mus. J. 6. MeCon-
nell on her faithfulness in carrying on
‘the Boys and Ginls’Cinb work'and: said:
he had recetyed word from ©:N.R. Col-

:fonization Agent A. Bowman that the

Jersey Breeders Associntion were pre
prepared to donate six or eight young
Jersey helfers for a- calt, elub to be
started this year.

‘Speaking briefly on marketing, Mr,
Sutherland told of the visit. of Com
nissioner J, W. Alder of Prince Ru
pert to the interior lust fell and which
resulted in Thos. McMeekin being ap
pointed as agent in Prince Rupert for
local produce. He pointed out that it
was very evident that the people of tha
bath willing and anxious to consume
canst who consumed a million dolars
a vent worth of farm produce were
northern interior produce. _

"7. A. Giant introduced himself as a

given a definite bent to public service

he got a chance he set out to change

He was convinced that “Gentlemen's
