Night Classes Prove Successful The series of Night Lectures, which«have been conducted in Huron County during the past mouth have proved very success­ ful, according to R. G. Bennett, Agricultural Representative. Fai' mers continued’ to be keenly in­ terested in these classes and the number attending each of the meetings is on the increase. This week Farm Machinery and Community Programmes is the subject, and a special feature is being putc'on for the ladies by the Community Programmes Division of the Department of Education, which is very interesting. It is very interesting that, as the lectures the farmers these lectures are taking more and more part in the discus­ sions. This .is the real value of this type of course, because as one farmer begins to enter the discussion, others follow and very soon a real active conver sation is being carried on. These lectures were originally design­ ed so that farmers could place their problems before ns. In this way we are able to know where the various farmers’ in­ terests lie and if he has a prob­ lem we are better able to assist him in solving it. There are fai’ too many farmers in a county the size of Huron for us to be able to reach each one individu­ ally, however through medium of meetings which being carried collegiates in are able to group. We bring to this information being discovered our research institutes and col­ leges, through the lecturers who are with us each week from these colleges. During the last two weeks, discussing soils and also crops duction. It is note how much farmers need the their are ____o __ ______ keeping the fertility and partic- ulary the organic matter con­ tent of our soils at a high level. At one meeting, the discussion on organic matter lasted for one whole hour. Farmers in the County are becoming more variety. conscious concerning their seed grain. They want the latest information so that they will be sure to be seeding a recommended variety, such as Ajax, Beaver or the new varie­ ty of Clinton Oats, or Barley such at Galore, Barboff, Mont­ calm or O.A.C. 21. The final week of will deal with animal and ’farmers in the should especially try to attend one of these lectures, ious diseases in our annually account for very large losses to our farmers. It is well that we acquaint ourselves with the latest information to­ ward combatting these diseases. I would just like to here the schedule lectures, Monday in Tuesday in Clinton, Wednesday in Seaforth, Thursday in Exe­ ter, and Friday in Wingham. All the meetings commence 8.15 sharp.
