YOUNG FARMERS
WIN SCHOLARSHIPS
Neil McCutcheon of Owen Sound
and Paul Harris of Ripley were recent-
ly awarded Carr Scholarships by the
University of Guelph. Both have
returned to farming since graduation.
The annual Carr Scholarships,
worth $3,500, are an endowment from
the estate of Samuel Leister Carr to
graduates whose university career has
included involvement in campus and
community activities as well as a good
academic record. The winners must be
active farmers.
McCutcheon received the Samuel
Leister Carr Scholarship, awarded to
graduates of the four-year degree pro-
gram in agriculture. Harris received
the William Park Carr Scholarship,
awarded to graduates of the two-year
diploma program in agriculture.
McCutcheon, who took over from
his father on January 1, operates a
dairy herd of 40 milking cows. He has
been active in 4-H projects and has
won a number of awards, including the
Canadian National Exhibition Scholar-
ship in 1983.
As a student, McCutcheon was on
his class executive and involved in
College Royal, the Junior Farmer
Club, livestock judging competitions,
and intramural sports. He was chair-
man of the Canadian Intercollegia.e
Judging Competition and a provincial
director of Junior Farmers.
Harris also comes from a dairy
farm, where he is building up his stake
in the herd based on his 4-H calves and
their progeny. He has won a number
of trophies and awards through 4-H.
Since graduation, he has assumed
herdsmanship responsibilities at home
while his father looks after other farm
activities. He has also been active in
church and athletic activities in his
community.
As a student, Harris was involved
in student clubs, athletics, the square-
dance team, and the College Classic
auction sale of purebred livestock.
Carr, who provided the endow-
ment, farmed in Etobicoke before
urbanization overtook the farm. He
died in 1971. His sister-in-law, Ethel
Carr of Mississauga, presented this
year's scholarships.0
