Rarely does a young man, starting in business, stay with the company he begins with. Instead he moves around from industry to industry, always on the lookout for a better position. This mobility may mean that a person is retrained five or six times during his business life, to suit the needs of the various companies he joins. For a farmer who remains on the same farm all his life, re- training at various times is also essential. While he may not be moving, the industry he deals with is moving quickly, all the. time. New developments in on - the -farm management, mach- inery, feeding techniques, and marketing practices are constant- ly takingplace. Because of the nature ohis profession, a farmer can rarely, if ever, devote a great deal of time to retraining himself to keep pace with the modern agriculture. To fill a need for a farmer retraining service the Kempt- ville College of Agricultureal Technology now makes it poss- ible for a farmer to enroll on a part-time basis. Because of the semester system at Kemptville, a farmer may select the course or courses of his choice, ,and register in the semester that suits him, possibly during the less busy winter months. Mr. John Gardiner, a member of the Chemistry and Soils Div- ision at the College, says that under the mature student clause of the registration procedures, farmers may enroll even if they lack the equivalent of today's grade twelve standard. Farmers with experience and know-how can not only learn much that is of value to them, but can also contribute greatly to other stu- dents' understanding of on -the - farm problems, said Mr. Gard- iner. Among the courses offered that Mr. Gardiner feels might be of value to the farmers are Fertilizer use; Corn Production; Crop Protection; Income Tax Management; Engineering Man- agement; Animal Breeding, and others. Farmers who are interested in enrolling in part-time courses during their off-season should contact the Principal, Kempt- ville College of Agricultural Technology, Kemptville.
