neighbors in Alberta. The farmers
of Canada were looking for on out
let for their wheat, and they were
also looking for a method of cooper
alton whereby their products might
be handled more economically and
with ! SIS profit between the produc-
er and consumer. Mr.. Wood was
made president of the United Farm
ers of Alberta, where he grew in in
fluence and recognition from the
very moment when he Yves placed in
a responsible position.

prairie farmers of the western prov
inces of Canada felt that their or
ganization should be federated, Mr.
Wood was again placed at the head
of very influential organization, -
he was made president of the Ca
madam Council of Agricul +ure, which
is federation of the various farm
organizations in Canada. Mr.. Wood
still grew in recognition and influ-
ence, and in 1919 when Canada de-
cided to or, ate a National Wheat
Board through which all the wheat
crop of Canada should be marketed,
Mr.. Wood was placed on this board
as representative of the farmers of
the Dominion of Canada, where he
rendered service to the farmers Of
that country which is unequalled in
any country in the world.
Through the Canadian Wheat
Board a net profit was created above
the guaranteed price of wheat in
Canada, last year, of more than $70,-
100000. The farmers of Canada
have right to be very grateful for
the services of such a man as Mr..
! Wood, and no doubt the splendid
profit created through the Wheat
Board, which averaged every farmer
in Canada $255 per bushel for the
1919 wheat crop at their principal
terminals. will ring around the world
as being the most far-reaching and
far-sighted policy on behalf of the
farmers of the nation of any action
ever taken by a governmental organi-
cation.
