David mentiofled the importance of the Junior Farmer Choir, the monlthly Square Dance Tour- namnents, and miany of the educational activities that have been carried out during the year.

The Annual Meeting also decided to provide $50.00 for the Provincial Junior Farmer project to ship Holstein Heifer Calves overseas to under- developed countries. There are mnany activities planned for Junior Farmers in the area, including the Junior Farmei- Conference, which will be heid in Toronto from March 13-2th. About 350 Junior Farmers from across Ontarlo will meet in Toronto for their Annual Meeting at that time. Accord- ing to Ken Knox, Secretary- Treasurer for the Junior Farmers Association, the purpose of the Conference is to help the delegates become more aware of their roles in Society. One of the key speakers will be Mr. John Gillhem of Toronto, who will discuss the role of young people in keepîng the family unit together. Other speakers will include Grant Webber of the Energy Conservation Department, Ontario Hydro; Dr. Angela Armitt, Director ofthe Extension Department, University of Western Ontar- io; A.R. Walker, Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations and Dr. Brian Wilson, Department of Hum- an Kinetics, University of Guelph. Through the discus- sions of 'éducational sys- temns, the family consumer law, physical fitness, energy conservation, it is hoped that the delegates will have a greater understanding of the problems of society and what the Junior Farmers, as indiv- iduals, cari do to help in the future. Delegates to the Conference representing the Association's 8,000 members, will be ch osen by the County Junior Farmers on the basîs of participation in Junior activities in the County. These delegates will elect a new slate. of officers for 1977. In addition, there will be 20 visiting delegates from ofther parts of -Canada and the United States taking part in this activity. We would just add, that anyone interested in the Junior Farmrers should contact the officerrs who are named, or the Ministry of Agriculture and Food in Bowmanville. The age group takes in young people both fromn the rural and urban sections of the county, who are between the ages of 18 and 30. Important points to remem- ber: 1. Buy seed from a reput- able dealer. 2. Use sterile containers, used containers should be wahed with soap, water and a little javex.. 3. Planting miedium is a mixture of perlite and vermiculite. It should be treated with "no-damp" or captan' to prevent damp-off. 4. Plant in rows, do not attempt to cover tiny seeds. 5. Do not plant too thick. 6. If using a large container, seeds of some germinat- ion period should be used. 7. Label each row, namne of seed and date planited. 8. Cover with plastic and put in warm place. 1 st Instalment 2iad Instalment 12. Triîm spanish orlon tops to pronuce stronger bulus.
