While all hunters possessing the resident hunting licenses and gun badges are permitted to engage in such sport, it seems to be the impression in certain districts that per- sons not holding licenses can farm parties and engage in rabbit shooting.

Gradually we are coming to appreciate the valuable contributions made to agri- culture and allied industry by the scier- tific experts who have made it their life work to seek out methods of improvlrg crops and of car-rying on war against pest. Recently another of these distinguished men, W. T Macoun Dominion Horticul- turist. was honored by the American Pom ological Society in the award of the Wil- der silver medal for his work in develop- ing a new variety of apples and for his contribution to horticulture generally. Canadians should not forget the contri• bution to horticulture generally. Canad- ians should not forget the contribution made by Dr. Saunders who evolved a hard wheat which has done much to make Western Canada the greatest grain -grow. ing country in the world. The work of these scientists has become an absolutely indispensable counterpart of agricultural activity. The regular monthly meeting f the M.
