I Vnder the direction of the ex-, tension branch, Ontario fruit growers are being asked to make a return of the number of apple, peach, pear, plum, and cherry : trees on all of the fruit-growing i farms of the province. In addi-1 tion to the fruit trees, grape growers will be asked to report I on the number of vines in their. vineyards. ! In addition to reporting the number of trees, growers will be; asked to report on the varieties under cultivation. I i A similar Count of trees and ! | vines is taking place in all fruit ’ | growing sections of Canada. | j W. B.

In its preamble the brief point­ ed, out that Ontario farmers are enabled to solve many of their major problems on the basis of , “seh-help" through their jnarket- iing boards, them co-operatives, ■ and other organizations. "Through i this policy,” the brief stated, I "we believe that not only are we rendering a service to On­ tario farmers, but to our total I economy. Our self-help philoso­ phy relieves the government of embarrassing demands for ex­ cessive subsidies, and other forms of state-paternalism which appear to be rather common­ place in other countries.” Topping the list of requests to the government were demands I for overhauling of the Ontario Gas Pipe Lines Act; a revision of Ontario Hydro’s basic com­ pensation schedule for purchas­ ing farm land.; that formula­ pricing for butter be instituted along lines similar to present- day formula-pricing for fluid milk; and, .that an order-in-J council be passed to establish a stabilization fund and program for Ontario’s dairy industry.

The brief expressed doubt that agriculture's net income posi- ition in Ontario relative to other I groups in the economy will ini- I prove very much in the coming [year.

The education field includes work in ad.ult ed­ ucation, .agricultural extension, vocational agriculture c gun ty farm .agencies, agricultural col­ leges, youth leadership and gov­ ernment and private agencies. Industry employs many in the education field to go out to sell and demonstrate their products. Women are needed as home and food demonstrators and recipe tasters. Young men are needed to demonstrate new machinery and equipment, . Agricultural communications work with and for people. The main job of those in farm radio, television, magazines, newspa^ pers, and agricultural filming is to’ inform farmers and the pub­ lic about markets, new products, methods and services, , Farm broadcasters, market, newsmen, field editors, are only a few of the men and women who work >in this exciting and satisfying field, Conservation Growing Field Conservation activities always •need the services of agricultur­ ally trained men and women to save and‘restore the natural re­ sources of our soil, rangeland, water, forests, fish, and wild­ life. The field of , conservation offers many exciting jobs, many “We would like to supply water for irrigation purposes, but much research will-be necessary first,” he added. It would be necessary to deter­ mine the amount required along the length of the pipeline, and to get a guarantee of use, to a cer­ tain degree, before it is economi­ cally possible, to instal a pipeline large enough. The commission must think on much broader regional lines, said, the secretary, adding that a re­ search program — applied re­ search as well as field research — will have to be developed, He told the meeting that the co­ operation, particularly in advis ory nature, of the development association, would be essential. Recognizing the extreme im­ portance of conserving water, and procuring enough for the purposes for which it is required, the speaker said that, the com­ mission is prepared to assist municipalities by floating long­ term debentures, to pay for capi­ tal expenditures on water sys­ tems, and sewage disposal systems on a wide area basis. These costs will then be charged back to the municipali­ ties requesting the service. The advantage is in lower costs due to larger. debenture issues over longer periods of time than the individual municipalities could obtain, and in having expert engineering and planning experi­ ence available. Present at the well-attended meeting was R. D. Jermyn, of Exeter, president of the zone, which takes in Huron County, municipalities. The procram, was planned by Dr. E. A. McMaster, Seaforth mayor, who is chair­ man.‘of the water resources and conservation committee of Zone,l. Also attending the meeting were R. C. Drew, Stratford, gen­ eral manager of M.O.D.A., and w.

Just as a special effort is made to bring happiness to all of the youngsters of Exeter and district, add a special effort to keep them from harm. What is more tragic than the death of a child at this season? “Again and again it has been demonstrated that with the co­ operation of everyone in a com­ munity, accidents can be pre­ vented.

Both' government and private agencies are -always looking for trained young people to plan and manage conservation activities. Public services and agencies pro­ tect the nation, the farmer,' and the consumer by constantly checking and advising on all phases of agriculture. The Canadian Department of Agriculture is one of the largest employers’ of agricultural work­ ers, Public service takes in an infinite numb'er of different oc­ cupations. Government checking and research on seed, diseases, fertilizers, insects, markets, con­ sumer demand, world trade, con­ servation, irrigation, and live­ stock problems all make farm­ ing safer and easier for today’s farmers. Farming, of course is the most important ,job of all in agricul­ ture. All other fields depend up­ on it.-Today,,a small percent­ age of the total population pro­ duces the food and fiber upon which the whole nation must de­ pend. Rapid increases in popula­ tion make farming add ranching the business with a growing market, This market needs train­ ed producers. Farming today de­ mands many skills and requires many decisions. Today’s farmer must know many things, such' as chemistry, engineering, 'ento­ mology, animal physiology, ec­ onomics, and marketing, He may choose from many kinds of farm­ ing, either specialized or gen­ eral. All the related fields, help him to be a better farmer, pro-; dttcing mere and better crops and livestock.
