Right In His Blood
Mr, MacLeod is agricultural re-
presentative of Huron County—and
a cracking goal one at that --purely
by aocident. Not until a few weeps
before his graduation from 0. A C,
did he have any idea that he would
be anything else but a farmer. Born
and reared on a Glengary County
farm, the business of far•mtu„ was
right in his blood. He was milking
the cows and feeding the pigs when
he was knee high to a grasshopper
and 11e kept right on doing it until
he left home In 1924 to enter the
Iiemptville Agricultural School. He
studied there for two years end
took lectures from none other than '
Patrick Michael Dewan, now the
Hon, P, M. DeWan, Ontario's new
Minister of Agriculture. 'Mr, D:wan
was on the stale of the Kemptville
school at that tithe, but left to 1926
to take over the management of the
Oxford Farmers' Cb_operative at

In the fall of 1926 Mr, MacLeod
entered upon et foul' -year course a,

among his classmates C. D. Graham,

for Perth. It was along about gradu-

On Pairie Wolves

Dick Hall, II,L.A, for Athabuslta

timber wolves in the North as a
means or protecting big game, He
said wolves were hunting in packs
of 25 and 50 and big game was be-
ing forced out of the North in search
of safer quarters.
He will recommend the bounty
be increased from $5 to 910 a
head. As a conservative estimate
he considered every timber welt in
the North would kill at least 20
big game animals in a season. Re-
