Ivy From Burn's Grave
Mrs. Browning, wrote a poem about
"A Rose from Cowper's Grave" so a
trailing ivy from Burn's grave deserves
at the least a word of prose on the
anniversary of his birthday, January
25th.
It was a frail plant when it was
given to Mrs. R. F.IGarniss, who cared
for it tenderly until now it has climb-
ed all over the window frame. Ivy
must have been a favorite of BurnS else
it would not have been chosen for his
grave, Perhaps it was chosen because
in Scotland it is regarded as symbolic
of friendship.

Minis Moffatt "were nietted to attend
the next meeting Of the Htiron-Malt..
land Presbytety.
Cloiiing remarks were made by Rev.
the Federation of Agriculture, the
methods of operation and financing.
It was as near as possible a perfect
set up and it was up to the people to
make it work.
The smallest and one of the most
important units of the Federation is
the Farm Forum, and through it the
farmer's should make their needs
known to the larger units. Every
farmer should be a member Of the
Federation and snore women should
be included in the organization,
Mrs. Anderson told of some of the
aims and objects of the Federation.

organization would soon be set up.

sion took place. Progressive euchre

The Bodmin. Farm Forum last week
met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jos.
Yuill, 4th line of Morris Township,
with 26 attending.
The subject for discussion was "We,
all have something to learn" Short
coures, bulletins, Farm Federation
field days, and films, Women's Insti-
tutes, farm forums, and ploughing
matches are some of the services
available for, adult education. These
don't seem to be fulfilling the need as
satisfactorily as possible.
Extension services might be made
more effective by having more dem-
onstration plots, more thorough club
work, farm visiting of Agricultural
Representatives, also by extra mural
courses from the Agricultural College,
Games were conducted by the recre..
ational committee, Mrs. Win. Spiers
and Jim Coultes. Progressive euchre
was enjoyed, Calvin Robinson winning
the high store. Lunch was served,
