"1 think 1t Is both," answered she.
It was Colin Campbell who took over
the business of the std fish pedlar; driving
past the Elford old farm home in Hurn
county, Ont., that made Fred C.. Elford
"sit up and take notice' that there are
some big things in life in every tumble
place and in the humblest of occupa-
tions.
Then, yes, of course. his mother was
very largely -to biome" for what Fred
Eiloid is.
According to Mrs W. L. Smith. editor
of The Weekly Sum, the Elloras were the
first growers of allalfa m Canada; at
least, Mr. Smith did not know of it being
grown anywhere else in this country up
to the time Fred E lord started with it.
Anyone who understands affalla be-
com.s enthusiastic about this wonder
crop. It makes one think of chickens, for
you will find more enthusiasm tor their
pets, iisd for their bonnets-. amt ngst
poultrymen than you will find elsewhere
o to *bum you will.
But we want to finish with Colin Camp-
bell. first. He took over a tuft -peddling
business from a man wno was really dis-
reputable. who let it -go to seed," drove
a rickety old ng and just a framework of
what had been a horse, and he was not
too honest in his business. Cohn Camp-
bell fattened up the old horsy, put the
rig in repair and painted it, took along
kind words with him, smiled and made
friends and did business in that modern
way that pleased people ane made him
highly respected while making a living
profit on the fish he peddled.
Fred Elford was impressed. And,
later on, when he was invited out to
speak at Institute meetings to tell tel his
alfalfa and his poultry, he nev. r forgot
the lesson of how Colin Campbell had
made everyone- see that even a fish -
peddling business could be raised to a
really high plane and be made attractive.
Mr. Elford's mother bad wanted him

Mother! You most say "California'
to be a preacher, and she said to him.
after he has started out in life, ' Fred, 1
once thought that you would be a
preacher of the Gospel, but l'vs come to
the conclusion that you can do just as
much good preaching the gospel of good
poultry, hogs and alfalfa." Ibis remark,
along with the priss�ccip'es of living that
his mother taught hlrn, have meant much
to Fred Elford, who claims that we are
all preaching in what we do, and he has
little patience with anyone who claims
that the gospel can be preached to only
one way.
We are not going t tell you much
about how Fred Elford was chosen to
run a poultry statin at Holmeaville.
where he was for three years. how Dr.
Robertson appointed him and later took
him toOttawa, at the C. E. F.. sixteen.
years ago. and later took him to Mac-
donald College, Que., when he established
that institute n; how Eltord left the
poultry department there because of no
possibilities of 'expansion; how he
went t0 the States to go with the i
Cypher Incubator people, of Buffalo, but I
later found that he had gone to the
States too late in fife to get into their
ways and be satisfied under the "Yankee"
conditions, how ne came back to Canada
and managed the Candee Incubator
Company business, and at the request of.,
the Hon. Martin Burrell, when he was
Minister of Agriculture, went back tot*
Central Exper.mental Farm to take uD
the duties of Dominion Poultry Husband-
man and went for a great d a1 les, salary
than business was paying him- went be
cause he felt that the poultry industry
needed him.
Mr. Elford saw that we needed better
btsirtess methods in our poultry industry.
we wanted more dignity in the profession;
and he challenged himself with the fact
as to why it should not be made a man's
iob, and be in the- hands of respectable
men, who hs,ve brains and energy and
ambition to carry out their visions for
construcUve work.
Through failing eyesight Fred Elford
was not able to complete his co lege
course, begun at the O. A. C., where he
attended two years. He had to depend
on himself and all that was virtrhin him,
handed down from his grandfather. who
hewed a farm for himself out of the
Queen's bush at Crosshill, Waterloo
county, Ont.
It is interesting to rt2Se in passing that
NI Eltord's grandfather anti -his family !
d -.
were quite alone at that time in the
Queens bush..
