AContribused by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto) In agriculture the boy has arrived. He was a long time coming. His way has been as tortuous as a wild grapevine, and at times his reluctant feet lagged distressingly. He Did Not Get a Fair Show at First. To bring the boy into general 'agrieultural work and study, all man- He was bullied and bribed, cuffed and coaxed, pinched and patted, whipped and wheedled; yet scarcely a foot ner of efforts had been made. had he voluntary gone forward until very: recently. The Old Castor Gil Policy. At one time, figuratively speaking, he was held by the nose while naus- eous doses from text-books of for- bidding terminologies were forced in order down his 'unwilling throat, to give him a taste and enthusiasm for farming! ; But to-day we have the boy gen- uinely interested in 'agriculture; open; eyed, open-minded, open-handed. Open-eyed, for he is looking at farm-= ing in a new light; open- -minded, be- cause he is now regarding agricul- taral instruction with a sympathetic : understanding; open- handed, for he 8 ready, even eager, to seize 'the 'hoe-handle and wield it as proudly as #8 it were a field marshal's baton. Too Much Book and Not Encugh Boy. © Barly methods to bring asgricul- tural knowledge and the boy together failed because they lacked that most fmportant thing in teaching Enown as 'point of contact." There was too much Book and not enough Boy fm the minds of the pedagogues. The bad gagged and choked mentally at @& too early memorization of learned and (to him) meaningless phrases. Bt was like a Chinese dinner course, - geverse action; starting with the des- gert and ending with the soup; but fm this case the nuts were usually too . kard for the youngster to crack. The Boy Is a Gangster--a Club Man. Boys are gregarious; they flock. Fhe boy, whether he lives in the city @r the duntry is by nature a gang- gter. - But call the gang a 'eclub," gad it gives an air to the affair, although the latter word has not al- ways had an attractive meaning to the lad. The club. collective is always more attractive than the club eorrective.

In flere were 449 fairs, embrac- WM, 847 schools, with an attend- ance of 345,259, over half of whom were juniors. At these fairs practi- @nlly every branch of agriculture was govered, and the total entries of ex- Mgbits reached about 200,000. -Home Garden, Acre Profit, Baby Beet, and Hog raising contests have also stirred the farm boy to action { end study. Junior Farmer Improvement Associa~ tions. These associations are made up of poung men, many of whom have Been trained through the School Fairs, and some of whom have taken short courses under the Agricultural Representative. They are local lead- ers in educational, business, and so-. elal endeavor, as well as being fore- most in taking up new methods of agriculture. They have been active fg organizing and conducting Inter- Association Debates, County Judging Competitions, Ploughing Competi- tions, Banquets, Public Speaking Contests, Baseball Leagues, and Field Days. These Junior Ploughing Matches have revived a long neglected phase of agricultural endeavor, and old ploughmen have expressed great sat- tsfaction with the work of the lads. Live Stock Judging Contests took place in thirty-three counties last year, and there have been many Inter-County competitions. The win- mers had a free irip to the Chicago International Live Stock Show, and game back with a bigger vision of their eslling. Boys' and Girls' Live Stock Clubs.

The majority will consist of un- married men, but there will also be & limited number of married men and of youths and girls over 16 years of age. Of the married men, about 20C have already been accepted by fhe Ontario authorities in Londen from applicants now dwelling in the Hebrides, where agents on behalf of the Province have been carrying on 8 special canvass for some time past. The agents are also endea- vouring to select from the same fslands a nuinber of female farm workers, and there is a proposal that 2 special ship shall be chartered $0 sail from the North of Scotland to .@onvey these settlers in a Yodys - MEDICINE HAT, Alta. -- The Moose Hall was recently the scene of what is probably the most impor- 'tant ra:dway function in the h'story : of Medicine Hat. The occasion was '8 banquet and presentation in honor 'of Henry Hardy, J. F. Fishér and 'Canadian Pacific Railway service who have. recently retired. There 'were more than 200 guests.

P., about 35 . miles northeast of Calgary as the | i ¢row flies, is in the grip of an in- : cipient silver hoom. On. Saturday and Sunday men from the local dis- trict 'and from points 'afield, where the news spread with the usual ra- pidity of such ridings, staked out * claims covering several sections about four miles east of the town. These were. registered at the federal land office in Calgary. No assay has yet been made of the ore, but those interested in the pro- : perty are sending n sample to Ed- monton, It may be necessary to bore another test hole, the finders say, before sufficient ore can be ob- tained to get a reliable assay. The original {ind was made by crews. drilling for water and much of the first ore taken out has been given | away as samples. + The first find was made about three months ago. CALGARY, Alta.--"We camnot ex- pect to recover in a year or so from the effects of 'abnormal circum- stances the whole country has been : suffering from," remarked W. B. Lanigan, of Montreal. freight traffic 'manager of the Canadian Pacific, in. the course of an interview with The Herald, in Calgary, "but I am safe in making this prophesy that this year will witness throughout Canada a gevival of industry and agriculture, and that by 1924, the city of Calgary and the country tributary to it, as well as the rest of Canada are going to enjoy a return of their former prosperity." It was in these words that 'the freight traffic mauager of the great transportation company replied to the question as to how he viewed present conditions. "No matter what pessimists may say," he continued, "the resources of this country in minerals and in the fertility of its soil has not been appreciably touched and it has been inadequately adver- tised. its agricultural possibilities, its wealth of coal, and in my opinion the waterpower of its streams and, hills need only population to Anil f 600 Loaves a Day ©uiarvio, -- Several': ements on pension are announced en the (Canadian Pacific Railway in sibilities into wealth.
