Eng, , Agricultural Engineer, A new type of 4-H club was re- cently organized in the Teeswater area which may be of interest to 4 -Was and their parents., This • club_ is an Agricultural' Engineering Club band, is designed specifically for Senior 4-H members,: The generai'rules of 4-H Clubs apply except that the minimum age limit is :raised to sixteen years. This new club has two suggested sections for study - either the.sel- ection, .care, and operation of field, machinery, or .a study of farmstead structures and equipmen The Teeswater•Club has chosen th latter area of study for the coming season. • The program for the club season is in two parts. First of all there 'will be the usual club meetings at, which talks and discussionswill focus on topics,: chosen by the Members, such as, -,'.building ,types and design;: feed;storage; processing and handling; building • 'remodelling; Manure handling systems; economies of farmstead structures and equipment; wind, and snow control•, control of live stock environment. All these' foregoing points will be 'discussed as they apply to the various live stock enterprises 7 beef, dairy, hogs, and poultry. •. In addition to the'regular meetings, it is hoped that an appropriate field trip may: be organized in order to see the; practical side of the. points dis- cussed. • The second part of the club pro gramis some type of project to be carried out by each member at home .. This''summer project: is to be of the member's owh, choosing'artd may take a number • of different forms. This part, of the club program is designed to Work in.with the home farmstead situation wherever possible. Al though not necessary an excellent type of project could involve some change, improvement, or addition that'.is actually to take place on the horze farmstead. If this does not; apply the club member' can plan out a project; even if it may .Only be,a .dream.' Suggested projects for thisclub might include, one of the following: 1::' _Obtaining or prepafing,plans for a suggested new farm structure, . the remodelling of.an :existing- farm building,.. or•an addition, along with an estimate of cosh of, construction, including floors , ung, ventilation, equipment, etc An economic appraisal of the pro- posed -investment: should also be included;' 2. Preparing plans, costs, estimates,; etc. of a ventila- tion system. fora controlled envii onment. building. , 3 . •Preparing • plans, costs? estimates , etc. of a feed storage,, processing and hand: - ling system for a farm enterprise. • 4...

Great advances have been made here, basically through theproper use of modern Lfield equipment. United States f'gures show that the farmer has increased his production efficiency over 600% in the last 40to 5. years as far as fieldoperations are concerned, Canadian figures are probably quite: similar. . • However, on rnost farms in this part of Ontario, crop production is only one-half of the total farm production picture,.
