SCIENCE
AND THE FARMER
By W. D. Torten, Director of
Extension, Ontario Agricultur.
al College, Guelph, Ont.
(Note—This is the fourth or a
series of comments by well-
known anthordties, written
expressly for the 'Weekly Press
of Ontario).
Gan the practical farmer snake use
of the marvellous discoveries rat
science to increase his profits and
achieve a higher standard of living
for himself anal his children
No one will deny that our selont-
iets stave been taking giaut steps
forward. We read daily about
startling new discoveries such, for
example, as life saving penicillin, as
well as life destroying jet peopnl-
s;on. But about Agriculture? To
answer the question we have only
to look about As and examine the
results of science on our dorm 'to-
day. Science shows its hand here in
a surprising member of ways, The
bumper wheat crops- of eV'estern
Canada were made possible be' the
patientcross breeding of selected
varieties by Dr. Saunders incl the
men who came after hi -in and are
continuing his work. The electrio'
current which at the turn et a
switch floods the stable with light
on dark mornings and operates the
compressor for the milking machine,
the chemical fertilizer which raises
the crop yield,• and the sprays
which protect against insect ravages
and bacterial and tongue. diseases
are only a few examples of science
at work on the farm.
There are bigger and better things
to come veehen the war ends Can-
adian. Agriculture will be presented
with many opportunities for doves.
opment and expansion, and Can-
adian farmers must be prepared to
grasp these oppornrtndties and make
the most of therm. This will only be
possible 40 wartime earnings to
provide themselves with the tools
which they require.
Most farms, are very short of
machinery and equipment. While
production of farm maohdnery has
been drastically curtailed due to the

irventcd and tested in order to
provide implements- which ',vie. In-
crease production and cut down on
labour.
On the experimental farms and at
the Agricultural College much work
is being done, on soil fertility and
oil conservation. Tests are carried
eel in laboratories and in the field
IP order to determine she best
fertilizer combinations for different
mops en a11itypes of soils and the
most satisfactory and economical

is being s'tudietl in all pasts of the
cuautry and specialists in foil tone
servation are working on methods
of preventing the wastage of good
.rich -topsoil from our farms.
Drainage is another very import,
ant question which we cannot over-
look. Not only will proper drainage
rc.suult in bigger crops.. but it is also
the means of bringing thousands of
acres -00 low lying lands into Pro-
duction,
On the other side of the picture,
science .has created mane new
materials. from the products of our
farms and forests. The manufacture
of these products will open up nes
markets for the farmer and new
`wealth for Canada. Here are a -few
things s
we can look forward to:
much wider use of .electricity on the
farm, -fast -freezing smite for pre -

who had laid up readily available
cash in the form of Victory Bonds;

Distribution Of Trees
The Agriculture Oommi.'.tee of
Huron County Council met un Wed-
nesday last to consider the problem
of the distribution of trees to
planting throughout the County.
The County Council have, in the
last few years, organized' the distri-
bution of trees throughout the
County. Although many thousands
have been planted, the need seems
to be -as great as ever. It is the
desire'of the Committee to have at
least half e million trees planted
'throughout the County this year.
In organizing this year's distribu,
tion, .it was felt that the best
medium of placing trees was
through the schools. The teachers
leave been asked to accept tl:e
orders for trees and The Council
has agreed to deliver the trees direct
from the car to the schools at no
ct st to any peen so ordering. Any
persons desirous of procuring trees
snoiuld get an application form from
the teacher in your School Section,
It has been arranged with the
Department that individual orders
of 500 or more trees will be packed
separately and delivered to the
schools the same as other orders,
The teachers have been requested
to have all orders in the hands of
tine Public School Inspectors by
March 174h and the trees will be
delivered at the most suitable time,
Any person who may find it more
convenient to place orders with the
Agricultural Representative - at
Clinton or the 'County Clerk at
Godeetch may do so, providing they
are received not later than Marc'e
17th, These orders will also be
delivered to the School Section with
the other orders.
