Rabies cases involving both domestic and wild animals totalled 89 for the 12 month period. This is 63 more than in the previous year, and only four fewer than in 1958-59, the record year so far for rabies. During the year, more than 3,912 dogs and cats were Farming by hand and hoe is almost a thing of the past. Today the emphasis is on machinery and skilled people to maintain expensive farm equipment. The three-year-old Farm Machinery Mechanics Course at the University of Guelph is at present the only program in Ontario filling this demand for skilled mechanics. The 20-month course is conducted by the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, and is open to young men of 16 or older who have completed Grade 10. The course covers the whole range of farm equipment mechanics, from welding and shopwork to hydraulics and electrical systems. A special feature of this program, which consists of two 4-month sessions and 12 months of direct in-job training between sessions, is that this practical work takes the form of an apprenticeship.. These apprenticeships are carried out through sponsor members of the Ontario Retail Farm Equipment Dealers Association, or member companies of the Wholesale Farmers Equipment Association. The experience gained from such training provides a more thorough understanding of the mechanical and managerial complexities of modern farm equipment. vaccinated against rabies at the 28 free clinics conducted by the Health of Animals Branch in co-operation with the local County Health Unit. The number of cases involving domestic animals — dogs, cats and farm livestock rose to 37 from 6 the year before. Huron County continues to be among the counties with the highest occurrence of rabies. There are approximately 800 farm equipment dealers who are willing to sponsor a student through this program. The number of students applying for the course can be increased as thus far only a small percentage of dealers have an applicant to sponsor. The course is coordinated by Professor J. R. Scott, and queries about application or sponsorship for this program should be addressed to him at the School of Agricultural Engineering, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario. By MRS.
