Fame of Agriculture is fully alive
In the clanger with the result that
the Depat,rnent, through the 0. A
C. is uaderteklug .an enlarged
program of research and demon-
stration work for 1938 in soil
fertility.
In discussing the situation, Dr.
G. I. Christie, Pr'es'ident of the
0.A.C., Guelph, points out that
many Ontario soils have been
farmed more than 100 years, Scute
have been wisely handled and
have become increasingly produc-
tive. But on the other hand, many
have been thoroughly mined; soils
hitve become poor, hard to work,
and give low yielding crops.
'On other farms, where geed prac-
tice has been Yellowed, fertility eras
income unbalanced," boys Dr.
Christie "One or more elements
have been reduced in available
quantities. 1t may be phosphate,
po.as'h or nitrogen. In many cases
it has been. found to be baron, man-
ganese or megnes'iuw. It is through
recognition of these problems that
0. A. C. has undertaken 1,11 exten-
sive research program."

by J. Murray Gibbon, general pub-

tion on Sundays, commencing
January 2, Prances James, one
or Canada's Ieadleg sopranos, will
be the soloist interpreting songs
specially written on Canadian
themes to tunes which have been
brought to this country by the
races in question—French, Scots,

The idea of this series of broad-

standing of the contribution made
to Canadian enituro by the vari-
ous racial groups in Canada, and
may be considered as an interest-
ing sequence to the Folk Song
Festivals organized at various
