The February meeting of Huron County Federation of Agriculture held in Clinton. Feb. 27th> placed the Federation of Agriculture, in Huron County behind the municipalities in the north end of the County that are opposing the proposed change in service on the Canadian Na­ tional Railway line from Palmer­ ston to Kincardine. k A resolution opposing the dis­ continuing of passenger and ex­ press service on the Palmerston Kincardine line and substitution of Bus and transport service was received from Turnberry town­ ship and spoken to by the reeve of Morris township. The opin­ ion of our Directors was that the railway should improve the service instead of substituting bus and transport service. The discontinuing of passenger and express will eventually lead to the closing down of the line en­ tirely, was the opinion expressed by many directors. Land values up to the present time have been closely connected with transpor­ tation service. The curtailment of service on the Palmerston to Kincardine line cvould mean lower property value in that area. Any deficit incured by the Canadian National Railway met out This line C.N.R. any more money than many other lines being operated by the C.N.R. If their plan suc­ ceeds we will be paying toward a deficit on the railway that does not *serve us.

The result of the discussion was in favour of the same sub-1 jects for rural and urban stu­ dents in secondary schools. Our city cousins would bene­ fit by a thorough knowledge of how their food is obtained and the price of production and also the dignity of farming in these days of science, It was thought Exeter High School worked along the right lines, A special course in agriculture could be obtained at the O.A.C. Guelph if desired. One interesting point under discussion was whether pupils at the secondary schools should re­ ceive a day ox* two of training each week with selected farmers on theix’ farms as teachers in training are sent out to the pub­ lic schools for training, but the forum thought it not feasible from either a farmer’s or a stu­ dent’s standpoint.

Elimville The Elimville North Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Millex’ Monday evening to discuss, “Can Curriculum be Improved Rural Schools?” We believe that all pupils whether” from towxx ox’ country should have tlxe same course of Study in public school. Thus a rural pupil would not be at a disadvantage if he should wish to follow a different course of study in Higlx School. Instruction in farming meth­ ods should definitely be offered to rural boys of high school age. This should be done in a school where a choice is offered be- tweeix acedemic and vocational subjects including agriculture. It would act as a feeler course. We also believe that there should be close co-operatioxi between the Agriculture teacher and the local Agriculture tive.
