SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE 



June, 1922 



Marketing Education presented valuable re- 

 ports last year and the reports this year 

 will indicate further progress made. 



The committee on EducaHonal Policies was 

 appointed a year ago. It was considered 

 desirable that full enquiries should be made 

 as to the policies now in effect in the Domin- 

 ion Department of Agriculture, the various 

 provincial Departments and the Agricultural 

 Colleges. The results of these enquiries will 

 be embodied in this report, and suggestions 

 and recommendations will be made as to the 

 possibility of having more uniformity, and 

 perhaps closer co-ordination of work, on the 

 part of these various institutions. 



It is expected that considerable discussion 

 will follow the presentation of this report. 



4.15 P. M. Amendments to By-laws. 



Two suggested amendments to the by-laws 

 of the Societv will be introduced by the 



HON. M A N IN I IN o Vv . U v.. , i_ , . I . 



Minister of Agriculture for Ontario 



Who Will address the Convention on June 27th. 



Dominion Executive, for the consideration of 

 the Convention. 



The first of these would give each local 

 branch a representative on the Dominion 

 Executive, instead of each provincial branch. 

 At the present time this affects only the 

 Provinces of Ontario, Quebec and Saskatch- 

 ewan. In the past it has been found that 

 Provincial Executives, when appointed, do 

 not function, and it will perhaps be better 

 to have direct communication between the 

 Dominion Executive and each Local Branch 

 Executive, even when there is more than one 

 local branch in a province, and to give each 

 local branch a representative on the Domin- 

 ion Executive. Under present conditions this 

 would increase the personnel of the Domin- 

 ion Executive by three members. 



The question of membership fee will be 

 introduced for full discussion. There is un- 

 doubtedly a good deal of criticism of the 

 present $10.00 annual fee, and it has inter- 

 fered with the progress of the Society. 

 Whether it can be reduced or not depends 

 upon the financial success of the official 

 organ. If "Scientific Agriculture" can be 

 made to carry part of the Society expenses, 

 the fee can be reduced accordingly, and the 

 magazine has perhaps not been in existence 

 for a period sufficiently long to warrant a 

 safe forecast being made. It may be advis- 

 able to have an entrance fee of $5.00 and 

 an annual fee of $.5.00. This would carry 

 the present members for $.5.00, but would 

 keep the initial fee for new members at 

 $10.00, for the first year. 



8.00 p. M. Report of General Secretary- 

 Treasurer. 



Tliis report will cover the work done dur- 

 ing the past year. It will deal mainly with 

 finances, the magazine, and the problems 

 wliicli ha\ e had to be faced and overcome 

 in order to bring the organization through a 

 very trying period. Certain recommenda- 

 tions will be made as to the operating 

 policies wliich should be put into effect for 

 the coming year. 



9.00 P. M. Address of the retiring Presid- 

 ent. 



After two years of service, during the 

 entire period of organization. President 

 Klinck is well qualified to give liis im- 

 pressions of the progress made and tl»e pos- 

 sibilities for future development. This mIU 

 be an open meeting.
