MCDOWELL Students train on-the-farm The practical problems of farming cannot always be taught in the classroom. In order to understand the complexities of modern agricultural decision-making, students need to live and work in a genuine farm atmosphere. At the Centralia College of Agricultural Technology, a branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, a program involving the cooperation of farmers living near the college has been devised to permit students to get the maximum experience possible in making on-the-farm decisions. Each of eight groups of students works on a separate farm. The group has access to all of the farm's financial and management records and is requested to make agricultural decisions based on these figures. The program gives students a firsthand knowledge of what it is like to work with outside industries and financial institutions that relate directly to farming. The students will analyze all the farm records, study breeding and feeding programs, machinery and equipment facilities, and all other farm operations. The student groups are required to file a monthly report of their work, and at the end of the year, submit a summary report and face a comprehensive oral exam. This senior year project was organized by Mr. Graham Hooper, head of the Livestock Division of Centralia College. WADE INSURANCE AGENCY P. T.

AILSA CRAIG TOWN HALL Tickets Available from UCO Ailsa Craig and Parkhill Branches or Councillors. $2.00 each EVERYONE WELCOME Policies of the University of Guelph were criticized Saturday night by Huron-Bruce MPP Murray Gaunt speaking to the annual banquet and dance of the Huron County Junior Farmers. Gaunt deplored what he claims are moves afoot to de-emphasize agriculture by increasing emphasis on arts and science courses and proposals to drop the names Ontario Agricultural College, Ontario Veterinary College and McDonald Institute. The latter school provides home economics courses for girls. "When the Ontario government moved toward the creation of the University of Guelph, it received every assurance that the focal point of the university would be agriculture," said Mr. Gaunt. Since that time there has been a big increase in the number of arts and science students and a corresponding decrease in the agricultural and veterinary groups, he said. He urged farm organizations, particularly Junior Farmers, to make their views known to the government and to the university.
