Concerning the C.S.T.A. and Its Branches 



BY THE GENERAL-SECRETARY 



CONVENTION NOTES. 



Tlie second aunual Convention of the 

 Society is an event in which every mem- 

 ber should take a personal interest and to 

 which he should lend every possible ass- 

 istance. Preliminary plans are now being 

 made and suggestions will be greatly ap- 

 preciated. Probably every member knows 

 some subject which might profitably be 

 brought up for discussion, some resolution 

 which he would like to have drafted and 

 adopted or some matter affecting the busi- 

 ness operations of the Society which 

 should be considered. Now is the time to 

 submit these suggestions so that a place 

 may be found for them on the final pro- 

 gramme. There are so many details to be 

 arranged in connection with the plans for 

 the Convention that prompt and early con- 

 sideration is essential. 



THEREFORE 



If you have definitely decided to attend 

 the Convention notify the General Secret- 

 ary now and state whether you desire hotel 

 accomodation. 



If you know some agricultural problem 

 that should be discussed, state what it is 

 and name someone to whom you think the 

 subject might be assigned. 



If there are matters pertaining to the 

 work of the Society, any changes in the 

 Constitution and by-laws, or any modifica- 

 tions of our operating policies, that might 

 well be considered at the Convention, send 

 in you opinions now. 



The fullest possible co-operation and sup- 

 port of tlie Dominion Department of Agri- 

 culture has been assured. Hon. W. R. 

 Motherwell has consented to act as Patron 

 and is almost certain to be present. 



Hon. J. E. Caron, Minister of Agricul- 

 ture for Quebec, has also expressed him- 

 self as being in fullest sympathy with the 

 Society, and wishes the Convention to be 

 entirely successful. 



A preliminary meeting at which the 

 Convention programme will be considered, 

 is being held at Ottawa about March 8th. 



All meetings, luncheons, banquets, etc., 

 will be held at the Place Viger Hotel, fif- 

 teen minutes from the Grand Trunk and 

 C. P. R. Stations, Unfortunately, on ac- 

 count of the demand for hotel accomoda- 

 tion in Montreal, all reservations cannot be 

 made at that hotel. Rooms will therefore 

 be also reserved at the Windsor and at the 

 Queen 's.
