This topic was discussed by the S.S. No. 4 Farm Forum, which met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Lobb, Holmesville, for- mer members of the Forum. It was decided that the appear- ance of the farmstead is very im- portant, as it reflects the degree of prosperity of the property own- er; it gives an impression of the character and ability of the oc- cupants, and it raises the morale of people to live among attractive surroundings. It was suggested that farm people clean up rubbish, brush, old implements around buildings, weeds, etc., keep fences repaired, laneways tidied up, keep barn doors on hinges and glass in win- dows; also make a lawn; keep it in good condition; plant trees (those from the woodlot help to make attractive surroundings). More costly improvements niay be planned to cover two or three years as finances permit, setting aside the profit from some special crop or livestock. The Forum members have done some of this work in the last three years, and a rural beautification project would serve a useful pur- pose in any community. This pro- ject should include the school and school grounds in any municipality. It was decided that improve- ments to roads would also be an incentive to farmers to improve- ment of their farmsteads. At the present time No. 8 Highway from Stratford to Goderich is badly in need of improvement. There was a recreation period and lunch was served. The next meeting will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. Hebden.
