B, Rudd, instructor in charge of Agriculture at Seaforth District High School, In grades IX and X all boys take Agriculture, All students in grades IX, X, XI, XII, take Agricultural Science, Mr. R. H. MacLeod taught Agricultural Science in grades XI and XII and I taught Agricultural Science in grades IX and X and Ag- riculture in IX and X. School Garden: Last year approx- imately four acres was seeded to four hay pasture mixtures. Oats were sown as a cover crop. This was done in co-operation with the Huron Crop Improvement Association and the Seaforth Agricultural Society. The oat cover crop was harvested in August, The crop was swathed by one of the students and then picked up by a forage harvester operated by Mr. Harry Bolger and Mr. How- ard Craig. The loads were unloaded into the pickup of Mr. Gordon Mc- Gavin's Combine for separation, 140 bushels of oats were sold and the straw was given away. This spring fertilizer was supplied to the area in grass so that each of the four mixtures was treated with 250 and 500 pounds per acre of 0-12-12, both with and without ad- dition of 100 pounds of Ammonium Nitrate per acre. A further applica- tion of 250 pounds per acre of Su- perphosphate was made with and without the addition of the Ammon- ium Nitrate. The rod rows of differ- ent clovers and grasses have turned out very well and provide an inter- esting addition to the school .prop- erty. On May 30, a group of the Huron Crop Irnprovement Association visit- ed the plots and commented very fa- vourably on their appearance. Approximately one acre was seeded with registered Beaver oats, Due to an error one half of the plot has 500 pounds per acre of 2-12-6 fertilizer, the other half has none. Two bags of Cobbler Potatoes were planted with 4-12-10 fertilizer at 100 lbs. per acre. An additional 300 lbs. per acre is to be side dress- ed at the first cultivation.

She wore a silver headdress and silver slippers and carried a nosegay of pink roses and blue carnations. Mr. Syl Ryan, Kinkora, was groomsman, and the ushers were Mr. Maurice Dillon, brother of the bride and Mr. Jack Feeney, cousin of the groom.

This spring the display was very attractive. There were 1000 Gladiolus bulbs set out this spring. The perennial bed has not been extended this year but all plants in it have come on well and will pro- vide ample material for division this Fall. The Iris bed immediately to the north of the school is being rebuilt and the units put more nearly in line. At the present time the bed is a very attractive sight.

The remainder were prepared by the girls of grade X under the direction of Miss Stewart and a ban- quet held which was attended by all of grade X and the Staff.
