'high school student with no
►erieglce in farm work, and no
: eapi_.ial to invest in farm property,
,thirdas he would like tow become a
termer. .
But, in view of the extensive
technical knowledge and special
skills required of the farmer today,
as well as the amount .of capital
required to start farming, he wond-
ers if it would be possible for any-
one in his position to evert get
established in the business.
Our answer is that it all depends
on himself. If he has average
physical' and mental ability, and
the character necessary to success
in a vocation in which a man must
stand on his own feet, depend on
his own judgment and accept the
consequences of his own actions,
he 'need not worry about his lack
of experience or of capital.. These
things can be acquired.
It is true that it requires more
gooney to start farming today than
t+v'vr it d"td_befo'e; 'hitt It is equally
true that there is more money
available than ever there was be-
fore and ,there are more opportun-
- ities to earn it and to save it than
ever before.
It is true that present day farm-
ing requires a different variety of
Skills and a greater knowledge of
science than ever before ;but it is
also true that there is more of this
knowledge available and more op-'
portunities to acquire it than ever
before.
Farm markets are more exacting
than ever they were in the past;
but there are many times more-'
buyers in them looking for depend-
a'ble products than ever before.
The farmer today has to compete
with better skilled and more effic-
ient farmers both at home and
abroad than. his father or his grand-
father did; but none of his cam,
petitors is born with this know-
ledge or these skills., They all
have to acquire them even as he I
does.
Agriculture today is a modern,
progressive industry offering op-
portunities to industrious, wide
.awake recruits whb are' willing to
keep abreast af the times and to
make the efforts it requires, in
order to reap the rewards it offers.
The qualifications necessary to
daccess h the '-industry are the
same today al–they always were.
They are honesty, industry, thrift,
common sense, and enterprise.
We place honesty at the head
of the list because it is the ,first
essential in farming the land. A
dishonest farmer will rob his land
of its fertility to make quick pro-
fits. But no man can rob his land
without robbing himself. The man
who deals honestly with his land
will naturally develop .04l those
other qualities. • '
The rewards of honest farming
are, a sufficient living with a sense
of .,security which few occupations
can give, a feeling of wellbeing
in the knowledge that he is his owh
boss and the master of his own
affairs, and a sense of satisfaction
in the knowledge that be gives the
world full value for everything
he gets from it.
There is a real shortage of quali-
fied„farmers in Canada today, and
you.iig men who take the trouble to
qualify themselves for the work
will find opportunities to acquire -
farms • on -terms that will enable
them to become owners.

A new skin test which will in-

mumps in the past and thus has
acquired immunity to the disease
ha been developed by American

gen --a substance which promotes
the formation of infection -fighting
antibodies in the blood—produced
by "injecting chick tembryo with
mumps virus. -When this , antigen

Various weekly newspapers in
Western Ontario towns carry 'ac-
counts of unfortunate experiences
which local organizations have had
with travelling entertainment con-
cerns. The Elmira branch of the
Canadian Legion is just one of
them. It lost $135 by signing a
contract covering production of a
show, using local talent, by an
outside company. After seeking
legal advice the Elmira Legion
paid the aforementioned sum to
the company to forget the whole
thing when it reached the • stage
Where it was evident the "smash
hit" would be a fiasco.
In order to .avoid any possibility
of disappointment and misunder-
standing the Signal -Star would like
to remind officers of local organiz-
ations of the inadvisability orf en-
tering into agreements with travel-
ling . entertainment concerns.- Part
of the plan of the visiting company
is to purchase space in the loeal
newspaper at the Fewest possible
rate and then re -sell , it to merch-
ants at excessively high raters.
Past experience has definitely prov-
ed that the only one to benefit is
the company^ represented by the
visiting salesman puttting on a
"show" with local talent.
