H. Acres (Conserva- tive), Carlton. "I believe," he declared, "We should strengthen the hand of the board by legislation. Larger dairies have been attempting to get control ot all branches of the industry, and have interetrred seriously with the opera- tion of the butter and cheese tac- tones." As a resint of the activities of the board, Ontario farmers recently have, been receiving about $400,000 more tsl month for their milk than in former. years, according to J. E. Houck, Vice-, Chairman of the board. The comtttit- tee session was given over almost en- tirely to an outline of the problems facing the board, outlined by Mr. Houck and by the Chairman, J. A. McFeeters. One of the acute ones " present was the "tremendous waste," this being particularly so in oonnec-| tion with bottles. He also declared} that the system of canvassing was an; evil which worked against many; operators, and predicted that next: season some weight would be brought: by the board against this practice. j
