VALUABLE AID TO FARMERS
Association Being Formed In the Provinces to Aid
Department of Agriculture
A despatch from Ottawa. ea.ys:
Considerable wOrk has been done
this season by the Live Stock
Branch of the Department of Agri-
culture in -carrying out the Govern-
ment's aid to agriculture policy. To
Iran1:07e the quality of stock and en-
courage mixed farming, the Gov-
ernment has this &framer placed in
various districts pure-bred male
horses, eattle, sheep and swine.
Owing -to delay, last session, the
work of the department was ham-
pered by the late period at which
the work: of distribution of pure
stook was commenced. Even with
this handicap, there has been dis-
tributed, principally in. the West,
150 pure bred hulls.. In the. West,
Northern Ontario; Quebec and- the
Maritime Provinces alre4.dy500
pure bred • sheep and swine have
, been placed, chiefly in the newer
!districts. The work of farming as-
sociations. and supplying
istock dur-
ling
. ng this year is still active.
For next year the Live Stock De-
partment has carefully prepared its
plans, and the amount of stock dis-
tributed will be greatly increased.
Beginning early in March, at least
200 pure-bred stallions will be
placed in. charge of associations
formed or which will be formed this
Winter. There will also be placed
at the disposal of the association
300 pure-bred bulls and 500 each of
sheep and swine, All the associa-
tion has to do is to provide for the
keep of the stoek, the Government
furnishing it and paying cost of dis-
tribution. The marked 'success of
the policy this year, has led the
Government to greatly increase the
expenditure in this direction.
