He continued. "This ob- jective has been ac- complished through our efforts at seed fairs, organizing bus tours, etc. No matter how unique or new we Bray think our projects are today, the end resalt is still thesarne, creating in the farmer an awareness of the advantages of good seed and soil management," "I believe we can Team from the past Some of our projects such as crop rotation and red clover plowdown are methods our fathers used as a matter of course each year, realizing then the advantages we are seeing now." The past president con- cluded. "Instead of dreading. the future and predicting terrible times ahead perhaps we should examine the catssee of our problem and t e the experiences of our `'Mast to remedy then." After the election of directors Wheatley made a few Atonements regarding a recent runoff of sewage from the town of Wingbam into the Maitland River. He added.
