Sherbondy, Sec’y. of Turn berry Agricultural Society.’ It will be apparent to many of you who have been associated with agri culture and agricultural societies, dur ing the past, that the present is a ’ very critical time both for agriculture and rural organizations. We have been going through a period of tre- ‘ mendous social and economic disturb ances, not only or particularly in Can ada, but throughout the world. As a result, our farm programme is being forced to change very rapidly and ex tensively to meet new conditions, and new problems, so jf our rural organ izations are not to fail, they too will have to revise their programmes to conform with the present conditions. Of all the rural organizations, none LISTEN ,O™VWA. i-UFFS OGILVIE ROYALCHEFS ‘ • ■ arid their’ SMART SWING TYPE HILLBILLY MUSIC ? best noun arc passing through as.critical a Stage as the Agricultural Society, It is a most critical time for it because nev er in the past, -has any organization had such a golden opportunity to make agricultural history, and never in the present century, at least, has agriculture been in such great need of leadership as the Agricultural ‘So ciety is so well placed and so well/ equipped to give. And, is there any other society in the Dominion, to day, that is better able to stimulate cordial relations between country and town, between agriculturists and ur ban dwellers? Is there any society that is to a greater, extent stimulating the farmer by healthy competition to do better than has been his best? No. So, if the Agricultural Society can ^quickly and efficiently adagt its pro gramme tq the. needs of the day -for agriculture, for the farmer, and for the community, the society will be a serviceable organization worthy of its name, and a 'worthwhile future. On the other hand, if the ’Society feels that it can roll along on a pro gramme that has been little changed i. during the past, it is due to pass out i.of thq picture within a short time. I Wc should recognize the good work that has been done, and'is being done by'the society in spite; of many handi caps, and adverse conditions. These have been overcome by men who have given their time and best thought to promote the interests, of the society and the community without remuner ation, and sometimes, without full hearted thanks. r i In fairness to these men, it must be admitted that we of today, do not fill anything like as important a place or offer the same valuable type of lead ership as was done by them, in. try ing out new varieties of field, garden and orchard crops; in assisting in se curing improyed strains of stock, and in many other ways giving most timely leadership. No doubt the need for many of their activities no longer exist, but though, the problem chang es from year to year, the opportunity for a wide-awake Society always re mains, and a survey of current Agri cultural Society Programmes brings forth the following for general ob servation. 1. The Agricultural Society at present represents but a small per centage of the rural population and meet comparatively few of .our rural problems in an .effective .manner. 2. The programme of the Society has been chiefly limited to the hold ing’ of a Fair once a year. 3. The membership and influence of the Society is, in the main, limit ed to the Board of Directors and a comparatively small number of ex hibitor-members. Few npn-exhibitor members belong to the Society. 4. The programme and prize list should center activities on major pro ducts and major problems, and be re vised periodically. 5.

A- membership composed of at least 75% of the farmers'of the area covered. 7. A lofig-term programme based on ‘a thorough study of the type of agriculture of the district and aimed definitely at. solving rural economic problems. 8. A balanced yearly programme]' providing for some worthwhile activ ity being conducted by the Society, and in which the Fairs is only a part and not necessarily the most import ant part of the year’s-.activities. 9. The setting up of a strong Jun ior Department in the Society. 10. Restoration, to some extent at least, of the idea of the Fair as a place of sale. In this respect, market .classes such as beef cattle, market Jambs and bacon hogs might be stressed more to interest the average farmer, and in the breed classes, much more emphasis could be placed on those classes for which there is the most demand. 12. The setting up within the Soc iety of strong and active Committees each dealing with some important phase of agricult-ure or rural develop ment such as: a—Field Crop Committee b—Swine c—Sheep d—Cattle e—Farm Buildings Committee. At first this programme of the Ag ricultural Society of the future may seem too big, too elaborate to adopt. Actually, if worked out step by step, keeping in mind the major* objectives, broadening the programme as oppor- tnuities arise, setting up the special committees as local interest and lead ership grows to meet the occasion, the programme as outlined is quite within the reach of the society in the course of a few years. By way both of acknowledgement and as proof of the soundness of the suggestions put forward, it is well to state that many of the ideas herein contained are being used in societies here and there throughout the prov ince with marked success. The fact that this is a time of soc ial and economic upheaval; that nev er before in the history of the Agri cultural Society has opportunity been offered to fill so great a place or meet so great a need; and that never before has there been so great a pro mise of encouragement and co-oper ation on all sides as is now being ex tended to the agricultural societies.
