ECONOMICAL, * Farmers. Campbellford, Jan. 5.---At the last big public meeting of the Eastern On- tario Dairymen's convention, held here last might, Hon. Martin Burrell, the new minister of agriculture at Ottaws, delivered a short address in which he made promises that the new govern: ment would give more aid to agricul- ture than the preceding one. He said, in the eourse of his address : 'There is only one criticism 1 have to make in connection with the last govern- quent, and Hon: Sydney Fisher's ad- ministration, and that is that my pre- decesor was too niggardly. But you have in Mr. Borden one who has deep sympathy with the agricultural inter- ests, and we are doing our utmost to devise a scheme whereby we can give more assistance to dhe dgricultural in- dustries, so that they can help them- selves," J. R. Dargavel, M.P.P., was chair man, and on the platform were Sena- tor Degbyshire, Mayor-Fleot a Owen, John Webster, M.P. of Brock- ville, and ' President Henry Glendin- ning. Other speakers were : President George C. Creelman, of the Agricultur- al College at Guelph, and A, D. Me Intosh, of Sterling. A. D. Melntosh, of Sterling, distriet representative of the department of agriculture, Toronto, spoke on "How to Apply the Need of Dairy Educa tion." Canada, he said, had an un- paralleled system of education and one recognized the world over asa model. There were some defect; though. These defgets were responsible for the exodus of "young people from the farm. The otion of the provincial government in appointing district representatives to visit the farmers and find out what oroblems they were facing was a move toward remedying these defects. He advocated organizing agricultural classes in the public and high schools. Next Monday, he said, such a elass would be opened in the Sterling high and a large ni had been enrolled. The course' of six weeks' duration. : Dr. George C. Creelman, president »f the Ontario Agricultural College at iwelph, indicated , the relation exist- ng between the work of the colleges and the farmers. This relation chang wd every year, for the college chang- «dl every years in some respect. It de ived its student body from every vivilized country of the world. In the year just closed, 1,557 students « were in attendance. He reviewed the work »f the field husbandry department un- ler the direction of Prof. C, A. Zavitz, and the work of the department of mimal husbandry. He said, Prof. Zavitz would soon be in a position to make an important announcement to the farmers of Ontario in regard to the raising of grain. He spoke of the lack of competent udges of dairy cattle at live stock shows, and of the efforts of the col lege to supply this lack. Thirty young men were trained last year. In the department of fruit the college was now taking men interested in fruit farming and endeavoring to mike them more efficient fruit farmers. Pre viously the college took in students of every interest and nationality, without regard for their adaptability to any particalar phase of farming, It was now the college's policy to take good . farmers' sons and make those sons good farmers. Fruit form- ers were getling prosperous as a re sult, the college showing the young men that profitable farming was now not being conducted by rule ol thumb, The time has come, he said, in re gard to poultry raising, that farmers can get almost as much for a good hem as for a veal cali. The poultry business was becoming wore and more important and profitable. It was a sceentifie business, and required scientific training. The farm was the best place to raise poultry, for poul- try raising required abundance of land in which the poultry may rum, ' "Keep the hens laying," he said, "was the slogan of the poultry de partment at Guelph now," This was was to milk cows the year around. Time would prove this, and the col was concentrating its efforts vp- on making this poultty slogan expres- sive of actual conditions. Want Iron Bounties Restored.
