It was held at Sydenham' This was their second meeting, as the association is only in its infancy, be- ing organized on March 26th, 1915. The attendance was quite satisfac- | tory, and the Boys entered into the est and enthusiasm. discussed was "Feeding Hogs For Profit Competition," which the boys conducted on their own farms this Season, the competitors being A. Truesdale, M. Stover, R. Ewing, O. Fitzgerald, Dwight Walker, Willie Orr. On comparing the which the boys presented at meeting it was found that Owen Fitz- gofald was ahead with a "profit of $9.83 per hog; Miles Stover second, with $9.18 per hog; Roy Ewing, third, with $6.02 per hog; Willie Orr fourth, with $5.05 per hog; Dwight Walker fifth, with $4.26 per hog; Percy Smith sixth, with $2.17 per hog. The different methods of feed- ing and different feeds were discuss- ed by the boys, and it was the opin- ion of all present that it pays to have hogs out on pasture and feed fairly rich feeds, as the winner of the com- petition both in 1914 and 1915 ar- The first item | culture, ping, together with the | staff of the local branch, that it be- malin for control of Scab, aad the tpiaring of the tops with Bordeaux Liaise for the control of Late Blight.

At the meeting of March 26th, the boys decided to grow.a one-tenth acre plot of potatoes each, the proceeds of which were to be used as a donat- ion from the Junior Farmers' Im- provement Association of Frontenac County, for some patrioti¢ purpose. The proceeds of this scheme are not yet all to hand, but it is believed it will make a fair sized donation when ali together. This money will be for- warded in a lump sum to C. F. Bai- ley, Assistapt Deputy Minister Agriculture, and the boys will notified later, as. te what purpose their money has been used. Methods by which a stock judging team consisting of three men to re- present Frontenac County at the Ot- tawa Winter Fair Stock Judging Competition, were discussed and it was deeided to get the boys togeth- er and give them some practical stock judging to de on horses, cattle, sheep and swing, giving forty per | cent. for placing of the animals and: Sixty per cent. for reasons. By this| method it will be possible for the District Representative to select the three best men for the team. The| prizes will be liberal'and all the boys expressed a desire to go in case they were selected. A silver trophy will be donated by the Hon. J. S. Duff, Min- | ister of Agriculture, to the team win-! ning the highest number of points at the Fair. Mr. Main, District Repres- entative for Frontenac County, guar- anteed the boys a banquet at his own| expense in event of their bringing the much coveted and handsome tro-| phy to this county. The lasts item for discussion was a proposed six weeks course in Agri- to be held at some conven- ent paint, in order that several more of Frontenac County's young farm- ers might qualify themselves to be- Come members of the afore men- tioned association and at the same time gain a considerable amount of { knowledge along the line of scien- tific agriculture.
