Rodger, of Kleinburg, beioved hushand ofs the former Jessie Lownie, in hisc 52nd year. The deceased came to Oshawa to attend the funeralt of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Alfred Beal. He was taken iii and pass-i ed away in the hospital shortly after being admitted. Deceased was born at Blyth, Ontario, son of the late John and Sarah Rodger. He received his education at Blyth I-High School and Stratford Normal School. He taught for a time at North Osh- awa and later at Newcastle for about 21 years. He took over his Now a change has come, it has been brought about largely by the P.F.R.A., (Prairie Farm Rehabil- itation Act). It has been func- tioning for eight years. The problem was to conserve moisture to provide water for livestock, to move farmers from farms, which, agriculturally speaking, were im- nossible, put them on farms more suitable for the production of crops. It established community pas- tures in which these useless lands were taken over, fenced with good strong fencing, provided with water. Then they were brought back to grass, they be- came the pasture ground of the farmers round about. The bene- fit of these to the community can hardly be estimated,. The pas- tures were under control, they were not pastured too close, the farmers who used them were startçd off in the right direction On June 17, 1946, at her resi- duties as principal ofthtre sctiooi at by the use of pure- breci ulis dence, 278 Annette St., West To- Kleiniburg inl 1945. provided by the P.F.R.A.

Whihe iainfall was abun- dant it did not much matter but in a series of dry years drifting began and soon these light soils were valuable neither for pasture nor agriculture, in fact they were a menace to adjacent lands.

The main feature in istern Canada vould be the de- opment of a policy of refores- ion, getting small parcels of Ld as well as larger areas back to forests, moving the farmers some cases to better lands, in ,er instances helping the far- er to put land now useless for rm purposes back into trees. Dupled with thîs should go shel- ýbeits in sections liable to se- ýre drifting, thus over the per- id of time reducing the cost of 0oW removal. Then, in the scope Eits eff ort, would be the whole oblem of erosion, the tremen- us loss of soil-fertility, which is, [ter ail, our greatest problem. Size of Farms The dîfficulties of the small far- ler in certain areas are increas- ig. This does not apply to ahl rms. Some of them are quite *ofitable. A man may be a "large armer" on a 50-acre farm be- ause hie may be specializing on ertain lines which may be pro- dable, quite profitable, on limit- Id areas, but when it is a matter d general farming under modemn moditions, where machinery is ar more efficient than it was a ew years ago,. it is essential that ,e farm area should be extend- cd to meet the present circum- ;ances. This is especially true in actions where some of the land is roken. It is f ar better, in these ýases, to have one large farm fficjently run, operated under ompetent direction with the own- r making money than to have three farms functioning in im- possible conditions where they breed nothing but despair so far as the future of agriculture is con- cerned. o- 0 oe44 'N WHY DaIy's us Delidious e DaIy's Tou s ladciom becalus it la a high qualPy tee.
