BY BARBARA ALVES Associate Agricultural Representative "How are you gonna keep them down on the farm?" This was question often asked by farmers about their children in days gone by. In the city, jobs were plentiful. there was more money to be made and the work and hours were a lot easier. Today this trend has changed someWhot. Formwork is more autometed, so it's less back -breaking and.the statos farmers iii ' society has increased dramatically. Farm- . iri•g seen'as a good healthy lifestyle for a &entity, ft's a bUsiness and a 'challenging— . occupation. / Many young people are interested in farming today and they are staying down on the farm. Now I'll pose a new question. "How are you going to get them off the farm?" I Work with lots of young people interested in agriculture. They get the opportunity to go on tours, take part in competitions. visit The latest on I receive many questions- relating to Drainage Law. I try to answer these to the best of my ability using the various resources I have at my disposal. Of the many ques- tions I have been asked, two which-recur most often are • If I drain my farm, what do I have to do with m y outlet water? Also, What can I do about surface water running onto my farm from my neigh- bour? The following quote from Judge Clunis, former Provin- cial Drainage Referee, should answer both of these ques- tions. "Surface or percolating water, that is, water not flowing in a defined water- course has no right of drain- age. While a lower owner cannot secure the assistance other farms, and they frequently take post secondary education. But there are others who don t get the opportunity to get off the home farm to see other farming operations or to take ‘ourses Often, this is because their help is rea,11‘ needed and it's not easy to get ass es If you are in that fsitien but you %could like the chance to learn more. consider these ideas.

Fartshawe College in Woodstock offers a two year agricultural course. Many young people live at home and commute. The school year is shorter than for other college courses so students can help at home in the spring, summer and fall. / Another good' way for young people to learn is by going on the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food Soil and Crop Management Tour or the Livestock Man- agement Tour. These week long tours visit numerous ..farms,' research and industry facilities. They have excellent evening discussions. Locally, all of the groups who are interested in the advancement of agricul- cure such as the Agriculture and .Food office. Soil and Crop Association, Holstein Clubs, Cattlemen's. Milk Committees, Pork Producers. Feed Companies, Veterinaries, etc.. sponsor courses, information meetings and tours. Take advantage of these.
