Mr. Butler has been a farmer, spent three years on the Dominion, Experimental Farm at Ottawa specializing in Animal Husbandry and an Ag. Rep. at Huron and Ren- frew counties. In between he tuck- ed four-and-a-half years with the RCAF. Since his arrival here in 1958, Mr. Butler has instituted many ex- periments at the farm which prov- ed out and are now being put into practice by district farmers. Many others are still in the ex- perimental stage, and may or may not prove practical for Northern Ontario farms. "Our job at the farm is to carry work for our Northern farmers," explained Mr. Butler, "in this way, for instance, we can establish the fact that a certain type of oats will grow well here, and more than that, we can show it grow- ing to the interested farmers." "This philosophy, and practice is carried into all phases of farm- ing," continued Mr. Butler, "and our terms of reference is such that we are able. to carry on~experi- ments that would be ° economic suicide for any farmer to try." "We have an advantage, too, in that all the findings of the many agricultural units and = services across the province are readily available to us." During the past three years an extensive building program has 3/been under way, structure which it is felt will greatly improve the Z\unit itself, and through their ap- Z|plication greatly increase the fa- cilities which the unit will be able to offer to rural and urban people through North Eastern Ontario. New buildings erected during this time have included a plank truss loose-housing beef barn, sheep barn, poultry house, tower silo and automatic feeding equipment.
