The council is a representative as- |sociation of all agriculturalists in the) Dominion. The council indorsed a platform which contained a plank, de manding that the proposed recipro- city agreement between Canada and the United States be immediately ac- | cepted by the Dominion government. | Under such an agreement which is on ; the statute books of the United States | foodstuffs and machinery used in the production of foodstuf¢s shall be in terchanged duty free. | The reciprocity pact was drawn up |in 1911, just before the gencral elec- tion in Canada.
