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.

$20.
At the present time there are
about 1,000 members in the

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. The department of
agriculture and food has asked
for a meeting with the
