Farm Facts YOUTH TAKES THE INITIATIVE There have been growing misgiv- ings among statisticians that the av- erage Canadian farmer is getting too old, the assumption being that youth is fleeing the farm for better oppor- tunities in urban centres. Recent events, however, have shown that farm life can hold a rosy future for the rural youngster. There is the case of 19-year-old Ronald Leonhardt of Druniheller, Alta." on his father's farm and harvested 60 bushels per acre in the fall. He en- tered a sampling at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto--and won the world's wheat champion. Last year another Alberta youth--- Howard Roeppel---was world's wheat king and in 1950 the crown was cap- tured by 13-year-old Ricky Sharp of At the 1952 Royal a youngster from Ridgetown, Ont.-- Daniel Clunis ----- was awarded the world's championship in soybeans. The fact that these boys nosed out veteran growers for the world's high- est honors indicates there are rich op- portunities for youth on the farm. This. was realized, of course, by the early sponsors of the growing junior farmer movement--the 4-H Club. This organization was formed to give farm youth (boys and girls) a better -under- standing of farming as a way of life and farming as a business. Today there are some 60,000 young farmers belonging to 4-H Clubs across Canada, Among. these are young Leonhardt, Roeppel and Sharp. An organization' which can help mould three successive world wheat kings certainly merits the praise of every Canadian, "BALLET High : School Gym Teacher--Mary Brother wood _Principal--Irene Harvey _ window on the appointed day: "let me."
