years failure to secure satisfactory eatohes of seeds has developed into a serious problem on ma fciwilnkaltowr in the main this ha been largely due to lack of sufficient moisture during the critical growing period of may and june it is our opinion that if our oils were higher in organic mat ter our supply of soil moisture would not be depleted so rapidly tn adverse periods the problem is how to build up the organic mat ter content in our soils in general our heavier soils are naturally low in organic matter and consequently very sensitive to either too much or too little ihoisturo the plowing down of clover tops is an old and proven practice in recent years however due to our shortage of hay and pasture seldom do wc see ony worthwhile amount of top be ing turn u in other words when we plow under a sod it usual ly has been pared almost to the bare ground sod crops are soil builders but not under the practice referred to above such a practice can be almost as detrimental as cash crop- pine and in a sense it is cash crop ping the point is how are we to rectify the- bituation itwould seem that we might very well accept the practice followed by some of our new canadians many instances have been brought to our attention where these foreigners ait we call them having purchased a badly run down farm proceed to put canadians to shame their- policy as u understand it is to cover crop ten percent of their land each year the field may be sown to a mixture of sudan grass millet and sorghum around june 1st in aug ust the green crop is turned under and raaown to a mixture of oats and rye which in turn is top work ed the follow lngsn ring and sown to a crop jo r liarv the idea seems to us to have afbod deal of merit in any event our foreign farmers are getting results we hope to see the idea tried out in halton in 1051 daqr pellrrterio jvetr jresdnf of halton junior farmers the annual meeting of halton juior farmers was held in the ag ricultural office milton on mon

the farmer is endeavoring to feed the nation if there were a difference in tn curriculum it would tend to make a split be tween curol and urban people which forums feel is not necessary few if any children in public schools knowjustwhat vocation in life they intend to follow and farm boys go to the city eventually and the urban boy occasionally finds his way to the farm and becomes in terested in agriculture then too chlldrenchanglngfrom one school to another may find a difference in a change of curriculum a great handicap the second question was a do you think that instruction in farm ing methods should be offered to rural boys of high school age herj the majority thought the answer was yes rural boys of high scliool age should be offered instruction in farming methods- appleby forum thought urban boys should also receive this instruction in order to eliminate from their minds the false statement anybody can farm but on the contrary learn that farming is a complex occup ation requiring intelligence and much knowledge another suggestion from snldcrs corners forum was that a farm connected with the school is the answer with a year of compulsory training- for rural and urban alike at red deer alberta the high school there took over the service any boy having a preference for farming would they thought have plenty of time to acquire knowledge of proper methods they also
