Panel Discussion A highlight of the morning .'program was a panel discussion by six juniors on the subject, “What does conservation mean to us on our farms and in our homes?” The girls in the panel, Gladys Houghton, of South Simcoe, and Anna Brock, of Huron, while not claiming too much technical knowledge of soil conservation, made some pointed contribu tions with respect to home beautification and the nutrition al aspects -of the problem. One observation made by Ross Beat- tie, Stayner, was that if you see a farm where the barn door is hanging and the back steps sag ging, you quite often find also that the bush has been slashed, an-d eroded soil along with poor crops are in evidence. Donald Milburn, of Peterboro County, suggested that not only does conservation imply the re tention of our natural resources it also implies a rebuilding of these resources in so far as they have already been destroyed. Clarence Schneller, of Water loo County, told of some practi cal efforts to overcome erosion problems on their own farm. Anna Brock, of Exeter, intro duced the matter of soil deple tion by crops, using as an example the boron deficiency experienced by growers in her home area who were producing turnips. The question introduced the problem animal diseases their i ------------. — — ciencies. The introduction of fertilizers and mineral mixtures to overcome this gradual disap pearance of soil elements was cited as evidence that although it may be very gradual, our soil was gradually becoming more and more -depleted. Perhaps one of the most con structive suggestions to come out of the discussion was that recommending that junior farm er conservation clubs be estab lished along present calf, clubs which Ontario.
