He illustrated his talk with some fascinating slides and gave an interesting account of life in the two countries "down under". Of interest in Australia were the very wide grassed shoulders on the highways, which allow for the safer movement of sheep and cattle, as well as providing forage for the herds when tra- velling. The increasing importance of irrigation in Australia was vivid- ly illustrated in his pictures. He noted that the pace of life was slower than ours, which is attributed to a milder climate. Entertainment for the program was provided by the "Washing- ton Squares" a folk singing group made up of four SIMMS students. Some of their renditions were of their own composition. The program was arranged by the agriculture committee of the Lions, headed by John Grose. WHAT'S NEW in corn production and weed control You are invited to hear Mr. R.
