DAIRY AND SEED IMPROVEMENT MEETINGS. 1 57 



stuflfs that we are relying on when we expect to solve thisi 

 question of supply and demand by legislation. 



I have mentioned this question of beef supply simply as 

 illustrative of what we must meet. We have got to come 

 nearer keeping our own supply on a pace with our demand. 

 And when I say this I know I am only emphasizing what is in 

 the mind of every one of you, and what has induced you to 

 perfect this organization. We have got to cultivate more acre- 

 and secure greater returns from each and every acre. And 

 to the members of these two associations which are engaged 

 in that very project of more production, — more in extent and 

 more intensive production or farming, tO' you of these two 

 associations I can say, we ,bid you a hearty welcome and hope 

 that your labors here and the labors of your societies from- the 

 beginning of the year to the end may be crowned with that 

 degree of success which your ambitions and your energies so 

 richly merit.
