WHEAT STRIKE
FAVOURED BY CANADIANS. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright/ MORRIN (Alberta), December 17. A proposal for a wheat strike against planting was supported here when one hundred farmers went on record as favouring the sowing of no wheat in the year 1933 at the meeting of the United Farmers’ Alberta District Association, with farmers from the Morrin, Roy ley and Rig Valley areas at* tending.
Several speakers stressed the seriousness of this step, though favouring it. Picketting, they said, would have to be resorted to, even to the extent of destroying the crops of any of the •farmers opposion the strike. The resolution was passed enthusiastically, and it was decided to place the question before the annual meeting of the united farmers of Alberta on January 17 in Calgary.
