Elliott, x United Church Manse Exeter, Ont. Dear Sir: On behalf of the peoiple in 'the Zelma district, I wish to express our many, thanks to the good citizens of Exeter, Ontario, who so generously contributed to the relief car. The goods were distributed among some 1’3'0 families, each of which is extremely .grateful for the goods re­ ceived. It is our one hope that some day we may be able to pass along your good, deed to others in need. ’ Again thanking you, I remain, • Yours truly, George R.

The I were somewhat bruised but every­ thing else was in splendid condition. I received some beans, a few apples, a sealer berries. tra nice pickles, tables as I had mine on summer fal­ low in a low spot and I had the nic­ est potatoes I have ever sden. You asked about conditions of the country. Of course you know that in general it is bad or else I would not be writing this letter, but from reports we hear I guess this is one of the easiest hit parts of the dry belt. Right here this year the wind was what ruined tihe crop more than the dry weather. Nobody, threshed anyi seed and some had to sell their stock because there was no feed. On account of showers there is enough rough feed in the neigsbofiho.od, but it’s pretty rough being mostly straight thistles. I stacked 75 loads of thistles and five loads of nice green oats that ihad been seeded late. You probably know that at oue time this was considered one of .the very ■best wheat districts in the West but wihat it will be from how on is a different matter. I will put in a few snapshots that may be interesting. You don’t want to think just be­ cause I didn’t get much from the car that there wasn’t a lot of stuff, because I am a Widower with one girl four years old who lives with het grandmother and so I didn’t want much. On my> jar of pickels was the name of Mrs. Clayton Sims with no dress. If you know her I wish would give her my thanks. Sincerely Cedi Stapel ad- you Ridgetown Farm School Hon. P. M. Dewan, Ontario ister -of Agriculture, has announced that special facilities will be provid­ ed for the traininng of farmers’ sons for farm work at the Ridgetown Ex­ perimental Farm. The course for young men of 16 years and over, who intend to take up farming as a vo­ cation, will provide them with the practical training they will need un- der conditions that exist on the mo­ dern farm. It is recognized that farming problems are becoming more difficult; soil deficiencies are cropping up in sections hitherto .be­ lieved to be ideal for crops and will gradually become a problem in all parts of the province; plants di­ seases and insects are exacting large tolls annually; animal diseases are inseparably linked up with- crop and soil problems; marketing is much more complex and difficult than for­ merly and the intiiroduction of pow­ er upon the farms through the gas engine and electricity has opened up a field absolutely unknown to, the farmer of former days. The ability to be a good work­ man is no longer the great deciding factor in agriculture but the proper combination of hand and head has been forced upon the practical farm­ er and he must adapt himself to the conditions and changes if he wishes to be reasonabey successful. The agricultural school, at Ridge­ town, will offer a course planned to meet the requirements of the prac­ tical farmer; science will be em­ phasized only as it is required; me­ chanics, field crops and animal pro­ blems will be given a proper share of the time. .. During 16 weeks for two winter seasons, a student will have sufficient time and opportunity to gather considerable 'knowledge of farm practice and theory combined. to of on be Sheep-Raising Opportunity Prospective sheep raisers in east­ ern Ontario will have an excellent ■opportunity this fall to get into the sheep business with a small cash out­ lay. Thousands of farms in Eastern 'Canada at this season of the year have ample roughage in the form of pasture, stubble fields and in hay­ fields to feed a sizable flock of breeding ewes. With the advent of the electrified strand wire fences, the fencing problem for sheep is likely be simplified as to cost and type fence. While the quality of hay many farms this year may not as good as in other years for fat­ tening livestock, it will, however, be good enough, for breeding ewes. Most sheep ranchers in Western Canada have from 100 to 500 dry ewes ranging in. aige from yearlings to five-yiear-olds, (These ewes are available for sale because they miss­ ed at breeding time, due to adverse weather conditions, or because ’ of lambs at lambing. Aill flocks of ..dry ewes should be sorted for bad Ud­ ders and broken mouths. (The advantage of shipping dry ewes to Eastern Canada is that tihey can be bred early, in fact almost at any time now; whereas range ewes that have raised lambs could not be bred! for two months after the lambs were weaned, and a long train jour­ ney would cause additional ence With the possibilities cessful breeding until late ember Or early December. interfer- Of BUC- in Nov- Think what this won derful offer will mean in enjoyment through­ out the whole year for yourself and your fam- ily.
