L. Wood- ley, director of the Western On- tario Agricultural School, Ridge - town, during the Huron 4-H Achievenment night in SHDHS Friday night. He indicated keen competition will force half-hearted farmers off the land but the shrewd. ones will prosper and enjoy an en- viable life. "The farmers of the future will be proud of their farms.and their vocation," he said. "They won't have any trouble acquir- ing a wife." "I would also predict that our future farmers will be well edu- cated. They must know many branches of science. Chemistry, for example, is playing a big role in all agricultural enter- prises today. Tomorrow's farmer will also be well educated in the business field and in rural soci- ology." "I do not see the day when farming will be a closed shop but I would predict that. young people are going to take a great- er interest in farm organizations, particularly producer and mar- keting organizations." He expected all farm produce would come under some form of organized marketing and he for only C. PER SHOT -GIVE said young people "should be prepared to submit solutions to problems and improvements in that system." While he recognized that inde- pendence was one of the great features of agricelture, he urged young farmers to forfeit some of that independence and "depend upon the free advice and in- formation that is so readily available today from leading farmers and experts in agricul- ture." He felt' it unfortunate that only about 15 per cent of the farmers today consult their agri- cultural representatives with problems. • Mr. Woodley said many men on the land today were not farm- ers by choice but were farmer's sons "who simply took the easy way of remaining on the farm after the father's death." He said some of today's farms look as if they were operated by men who weren't very proud of their vocation and who weren't keen enough to try, to improve the homesteads provided by their forefathers. "I'in afraid that day will soon be over. Agriculture is changing so rapidly it is impossible to keep up to it.", Mr. Woodley was introduced by Bruce Coleman, •a 4-H mem- ber 'and former WOAS student, Ag Rep Doug Miles and his assistant, A. S.. Bolton, were in charge of the program and An- son McKinley, Huron 4-H club leaders' president, was chair- man. Speakers included Larry Snider, SHDHS chairman; Warden John Morrissey, Elston Cardiff, C. S. MacNaughton and John Hanna.
