Kennedy "The fa'mer who makes money in the future will be the one wha watches his costs, keeps up with scientific advances and ca-oper- ates witb his neigburs," declar- ed Col. the Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Ontario Minister o! Agriculture, in bis address at the Oshawa Ro- tary Club recently. Prefacing his remarks on Agri- culture with a patriotie theme, Col. Kennedy declared that the countnies over which the Union Jack and the Stars and Stnipes fly are fan abead o! the rest o! the world as regards civilization. At one lime il bad been considcred that there would be a generation between wars, but two bot wars and a cold war have been fought duning the present generation. "Our civilization is nat what it sbould be. We should get more together," counselled the speaker as hie pointed out tbat the democ- racles of the wonld will not be beaten in our generation. Record Farm Production Turning bis attention ta the subjec cc losest ta bis beant, Col. Kennedy said that fanm produc- tion in Ontario Ibis year was the largast on record reprcsenting a total of $1,250,000,000 and fan that reason Tbanksgiving this year should be a period o! real thankfulness for the blessings God had bestowed on the pro- vince. Urging bis audience ta attend the Oshawa Fair the speaker said: "Our Agnicultural Societies, and the Fairs tbcy put on, are among the oldest oirganizations ta ha found in our Canadian Agri- culture. They have played a very vital part in the develop- mient of agriculture in Ibis pro- vince toc, and I know the fine, job the Oshawa Fair- does for On- tario County. Fairs sucb as yours have been tbe show win- dow of our agnigulture for many Yaars and that show window bas portrayed many changes in aur whole agriculture. Your fair started away back in 1888, when I was just 10 years aid. Our farming was very different then and the Fair- would show many different things fnom those wbicb will be shown today. But tbis year's Fair and that o! 1888 will hava anc thing in common. There, you will be ahi? ta sec the best of the agnicultural products of Ontario County." Continuing Col. Kennedy said that God neyer made any poor land as ma- had been able and xvould salve the problem 0of pro- ducing an land that once had been considered xvasta. He reealled that 25 years ago sections a! Non- folk County were largely blow sand and il was thougbt, at that time, that nathing could be grown an themn but trees. Scientiflc Advantage Recently. due tb scientifie ad- vanes in farming, a farmer in that area as sold is land for $950 an acre. Today this region produces 100,000,000 pounds o! flue eured tabacco which means revenue ta the fax-mers o! be- twcen $60,000,000 and $65,000,000 a yaar. It was pointed out that there have been mare changes in agri- cultural mchods in tbe past 15 years than in the previous 100 years. At ane time the binder was thaught to be an impossibil- ity but taday we have the corn- bine. "Some say il is the lasI word In farming. In my opinion il will be replaced by something better. We are neally perfarm- ing miracles in farming today," commented Col. Kennedy. Another example o! the advan- ces baing made in agriculture cited hy the speaker included the development of new crops. par- ticularly forage crops, wbîch have cut farm costs. New varieties o! pasture seeds and hybnid orcb- Don Muir, 17tb Shirlie Cryder- ard grasses have been developed. This year same 60 farmers in the province have been supplied with the seed o! nine new vanleties 50 that in future pastures will be full of prateins when they are most needed. This in tunn will mean increased milk praduction, as anc new variety of alfalfa con- tains 22 per cent protein. The new varieties o! seeds will bning growth early or late as desired ân suitable for wet on dry land. "Wbcn I startcd farming, oats wcne oats, wbeat was wheat, and hay was bey, but that is no longer truc today," declared the speaker as he cmphasized that the farmer wbo makes moncy is the farmer who watchcs bis costs and keeps up with the advances in agricul- ture. He prophesied that the day is not fax- off when there will not be a single cow lied up in a barn for milking. Rather, milking will be donc in milking panlours in the fields wbich would save time and costs. Co-Operation Real Need Col. Kennedy insisted that eveà as ca-aperation is one of the great- est needs in the world today, il is also one o! the primary needs in agriculture wbcre the fax-mer must learn to ca-operate with bis neigbbours as a means o! raising the standard o! the industny. Stressing that the prosperity a! the urban community is closely linked with that o! the rural aneas, the minister said that dairy cattle in Ontario today are pro- ducing 1,000 pounds o! milk a year max-c than in tbe past and Ibal the butterfat content was up .2 per- cent. This meant $35 more in the pocket o! the pro- ducer. "Yes, aur agriculture bas made great sIxides, but there is still mucb to be donc and aur research men are not resting on their laur- els. Rather thcy are working harder than ever before. With this in mmnd, you can rest assur- cd Ibat agriculture will make even greater sIxides in the future, strides wbicb you will sec ne- flected fromf year to year in the exhibits at your Oshawa Faix- and the other faix-s tbroughoutth province," said Col. Kennedy inI conclusion. Young Farmers Show Cattie At Orono Fair The Achievement Day program for the South Durham Dairy Caîf Club was beld at Orono Faix- with 17 exbibiting their calves, includ- cd amangst which wene 14 Hol- steins, 1 Ayrshire, 1 Guernsey and 1 Jersey.

The standing of the first five Holstein calves wene as follows: 1 Eanl Brown, 2 Donald Muir, 3 Kenneth Tink, 4 Ron Bickle, 5 Gcrald Brown.

They wcre there- fore given their standing witb average marks for Showmansbip and Judging. The prize money for the club Is shared equally by the Ontario De- pax-Iment o!

Farmers Le arning The Old Swamp Real Asset to Farm When pioneers started to clear land, they usually sought right away to drain any swamp they found on their property, clear away the shrubbery that covered it and turn the reclaimed land into a field. They argued that, from a farï-, -1 ing standpoînt, the swamp in its natural state was waste land. They said, too, that often the swamp had formed part of an ancient riverbed and its black earth was capable of producing good crops. The farmers of today are com- ing to deal differently with the swamp land that remains. They preserve it as an asset to their property. The new attitude toward the swamp stems from recent inter- est in conservation, which in- cludes- protection of wild life, checking of soul erosion. and the prevention of damaging spring floods. Ask an up-to-date farmer how he regards his swamp and hc'Il tell you it affords cover for many k:'nds of animais and birds. Wild life riests in its shrubbery and grassland and the young bîrds and animals later find their way to other parts of the country- side. When a stream flows through the swamp, there is oft- en good fishing.
