"Soil is a fragile resource and must be protected and nurtured to ensure Canadians have a healthy and prosperous- agrifood industry." "Soil conservation is important every day of the year," said Mr. Ramsay. "People in Ontario must in- crease their commitment and action to protect the soil. Designating this week to focus national attention on our soil is an initiative I endorse and fuUy support," Provinces have responded en- thusiastically to the federal government's National Soil Conservation Program. The $150 million, three-year program is cost shared equally by the federal and prover tial governments and coversa wide range of soil conservation ' projects tailored to meet the specific needs of each. province. In partnership with local organizations and farmers, the govern- ments pgrovide on-farm technical and financial assistance to improve soil con- servation practices through demonstra- tions, research, monitoring and public awareness. Recent studies show an alarming 20 per cent of Canadian farmland is now af- fected by wind and water erosion, organic ,natter loss, salinity and soil compaction, costing farmers millions of dollars annually in dost ,productivity. Canada relies heavily on its agriculture with farming `; and related industries responsible for one job in 10, and the agri food industry generating. 10 per cent of the Grass National Product. Leap Year. Prospects By a Booster (as printed in ' a 1920 Sentinel) Ladies attention! while I endeavor to show you what you are up against. This, as you know, is Leap year. Have you, leaped at any prospect yet? If not it . is high time you were up and doing, because the number is limited and time is passing. Already we are well into the 3rd month, and as far as the village is concerned very little progress has been made matrimonially. What is the matter? What are the obstacles? Ladies, you should be More practical. It is all very well td have Leap Year balls, no matter how magnanimous the purpose (giving the surplus to the starving Armenians), or you may have Leap year skating par- ties to demonstrate the agile qualities, but a little bowing and scraping and sen- timental gush is not enough. Find out a prospect and get after him. If he proves obdurate after you have given him a fair trial, drop him as you would a hot potato, and concentrate upon another. Oh, the power of concentration! Centre all the faculties of the mind and heart upon an object and watch the magnetic effect. I believe that the ladies should have " privilege, once in every four years, taking the initiative in the matter of pro- posals, and men must not think it rude or out of place for the ladies to put the question right up to them, such as "I'd like to be your wife, won't you be my husband?" Some may like to take a less aggressive plan - as by bringing that un- seen, mystic; but nevertheless real force we call love, to bear upon the culprit un- til, soft and limp as a plate of mush, he capitulates. It can be done, try it. Here is the outlook in Lucknow as far as I can get at it without a direct., can- vass. So, ladies, you may as well face the inevitable first as last: Marriageable ladies over 21. ' years, approximately 70. Marriageable men of 25` years and.over, approximately 25; but outof this number there are a few who are absolutely dead to feminine allurements. They have resisted so 'Often' that, their day of Grace is past. There are a `few others who, after paying for the week's supply of cigarettes, might find themselves .in financial straits. So that probably, not more than 10. will be available this year as Hubbies. These ten 'should at least be rounded up and captured before the end' of the year. If not; then ladies, you have yet to learn the art ' of captivating. Remember that during the remainder of this year there are 70 to leap at 10. Ina agine what a game of leap -frog that will be. Now, as the. law of the land is one man for one woman, only ten ladies can win in this game this. year according to the above reckoning. So ladies, get after. the "pucks," play the game fairly, cross check, body check or bunt, but be a good sport, and even if you don't win prize, smile. . Hoping, Mr. ,:Editor that the above message may facilitate and expedite mat- ters re the Leap year prospects. I remain, yours truly, A Booster , At For most people, buying a carr' an expensive undertaking that warrants some careful research and planning. It's even important to lake the, weather into account, consumer experts say. Try to pick a dry day for the test drive.
