£WIILl A J. .5LLA., BuwiMz VuIL, ONTWARIO _________________TURSDAY, OV. 24tb, 1955 Junior Farmers Hear TaIk on "Road Ahead" B,' College Lecturer In an informaI, but mast. in- formative address, J. M. Pur- vis, lecturer at Kemptville Agricultural College, on Sat- urday sounded a definite note of optimism for a worthwhile ftture in farming. He was speaking ta over 125 young people at the annual turkey anquet and dance of the Dur- ham County Junior Farmers, The event was held in both the Oddfellows' Hall, Orona, where the delicious dinner was serv- ed by the ladies of No. 334 Re- bekah Lodge, and, later, in the Township Hall where Ruth Wilson's Variety Band provid- ed music for dancing. Worthwhile Imprint One of bis former pupils, Glenn Larmer, secretary treas- urer, was. loud in his praise of Mr. Purvis, as a teacher of English and Economics for the past 10 years at Kemptville and as a great friend of young farming people. He also ban- dies the public relations and extension work for the collegre and his popularity with wel over a dozen present day stu- dents and graduates was oh- vious. During bis address, he aid a glowing tribute ta Dur- anstudents who had left their worthwhile imprint on the college and its courses. Encourages Club Work In forecasting "'The Road Ahead" for farming, Mr. Pur- 'vis did flot picture it as a gloomy ane for agricylture.

Part-Time Farmers Tbe disease of farm instabil- ity which is castly ta farmers and consumers won't be cure. by those wha work their farms at nights and weekends and the rest of the time work in the cities, Mr. Purvis continued. These fanms and the bealth of the operators are heing impair- ed by this practice which, a. late, bas been increasing. If we have faith in the future of farming, we may bave ta sa- crifice until things are better. Sees Rays of Hope Laoking into tbe future, he saw definite rays of hope far f anming. Canada's population is growing at the rate of 1,000 a day. By 1975, we should have a population of 20 millions and the United States will have grown ta aven 190 millions.

It sbauld instruct th2- Wheat Board ta dispose of its surplus by selling regulanly, at the best pnices it can get, but not in such quantities as will cause the market ta callapse. 4. If the pnices obtained should prove ta be unduly low, the government should recoc- nize its own respansibility for the mess we are in, and should compensate the farmens, with- in reasonable limits, for the J losses its policy bas caused, tbem. 5. It sbauîd refuse ta sign a new International Wbeat Agreement, because such agree- ments bave pnoved ta be unen- forcable when the farmens need them most, that is, when prices drop so low that the imponting1 countnies find it more profil- able to huy thein supplies ou,- side of the' agrement than ta take up their quotas. 6.
