shottue o r Renewed interest in North Amnericanj food prod'uction after years of stagn&ti'on and reeuri surpluses has re- ild in higher enrolment in à-tcultural colleges and un- iversities. Enrolment in U.S. agricul- tural colleges increased 45. percent i '73 compared to 17 percent for all other colleges. For the same period, Ontario uiniversities increased 4 per- cent and community colleges il percent. For the first time since the educational boom began in the early 60's, agricultural diplomaenrolment in Ontario bas joined the swing upward, increasing by 7.5 percent ii '73. The number of graduates, hqwever, will fali short of the requirements of the agricul- tural industry. I an article for the Ontaria Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Dr. Ford Stinson, Principal of Kemptville Col- lege, said "Internatienal tr- ade in farm produce is passing from a buyer's to a seller's market. "With more people needed to manage farms and with new openings in agrîbusiness, the demand for agricultural _~lorna graduates far ex- VcAs the supply." _Stinson noted that as the farm population dropped the composition of the student bïody changed. "More of them are women", he said, "and more are fromn urban back- grounds." in 1972, 3ý5 of the 120 students enrolled -in agricul- ture at <ei-iptville College were fromn ukrban areas and 6 wvere womnen. This year the prprion of rban students asdown, but more of the gCraduatés will return directly -vïth 35 - 45 percent of the ,uetbody through .the imiddle 60's. The report recomnds that urbanstudents begin the study of agriculture î,' the summner. Sinson lholds that "it makes sense 10 learn agriculture during. summrer rather than when the ground is frozen or snow covered." College records indicate that urban students who begin in the summer have a higher performance level in the course.
