Conservation important
The. h vy rains and wind storm this spring underline the
urgent necealty-„kit farmers to employ soil. conservation
practices to control wind and water erosion. The fertile land is
the most important resource a farmer has. While thaw
believe it is too costly to implement soil conservation, the time -
is fast approaching when farmers will find their refusal to
conserve the soil will destroy our ability' to farm..

A conservation demonstradon in Ashfield Township and
the farmers crisis sunimitmeeting last week both stressed the
need for farmers to learn how to protect their land from wind
and water erosion. , „ • ' , - •

The weather this spring has created an interest in soil

has to be done to protect the farm's primary resources - soil

The ,Scots probably contributed more to
J- science during; the nineteenth
Allan any other people. Two noteable
dicalrinipavements of that era are typical
examples: Chloroforia was first used as an
anaesthetic ,,by Simpson •in Edinburgh in
1847 and antiseptic surgery by Lister in
Glasgow 1865. Although it was many years „
before these techniques became widely
• ' accepted, 'they were undoubtedly two of the
most important practices to be adopted, and
.the saving in terms of hunian life is beyond
, the realms of comprehension.
Doctor Cameron of Redtrees was a
medical practitioner who •used certain
methods Many years before they were in
•• general use... Although at that time, he had
no, specific evidence that what he practiced
was definitely beneficial to his patients, he
• nevertheless followed his own instincts,
• especially as regards cleanliness. He
religiously scrubbed his hands 'before he
touched a patient and used alcohol as a,
cleansing agent.
• Before Ian Jamieson left for his voyage to
Scotland, Cameron gave him instructions
which he believed would be beneficial to the
• health of both pasSengers and crew. Leaving
nothing to hance, he took pains. to write

way to the "aid hame", Jamieson' had very
few duties to perform;, the running of the
ship was left in the capable hands of the first
• officer, Mister MacLichlan, land his exper-
ienced crew. There was ample time to study
Doctor Cameron's instructions, and to
prepare for the accommodation of th• e
passengers who would accompany them on
the 'return journey. Briefly,the dectOr's.
advice was as follows:
• "Each passenger shall be examined by a

shall be permitted aboard unless free from
sickness. Any petson who develops a disease
, during the voyage shall be isolated front, the
rest of the passengers, and 'those attending

with a clean cloth soaked• in vinegar.

smoked.with sulphur before occupancy, Only

• the barrels which contain it shall not have
