Iy for use in rural schools and for elementary classes in other schools. where it was desirable to study the plain and practical problems of the farm and home in their relation to daily life. Moreover this book deals largely with common farm practices. rather than with scienti- fic principles (which should be re- served for hggh school).

It is difficult to expect our rural youth to become interested in agri- culture u g occupation if they are not acquainted with it's basic theory early in life. If the pupils can be interested and enabled to use the farms and the farm homes as laboratories in which to observe and apply the things learned at school. a great step will have been made toward bringing the school in close touch with the home life of the pupils.

A study of agriculture in the rural schools elevates. in the minds of the farm youth. the calling of agriculture. Indeed a rather close study of a few farm problems im- presses one with the great amount of knowledge and skill required to operate a farm successfully: and must convince one that a farm. rightly managed. affords as much opportunity for developement as a professional or business career. FARM ORGANIZATIONS

The Districts who have in their, midst 4-H clubs, Junior Farmers ; and Farm Forum and Women's ln- stitule groups usually produce a reasonable number of useful, re- sponsible citizens. 4-H clubs are

There are three general classes of borrowers namely. 1. The es- tablished farmer who is already carrying on a reasonably efficientl farm operation. 2. The farmer who would become efficient except for lack of capital. 3. The young man starting in to farm. 1

Many farmers are suggesting that there are not enough informa- tion about sources of farm credit available at the present time par- ticularly for the beginning farmer. Is there a place for loans in which some supervision is given by the leader This might assist some farmers in making the most ef- fective use of their credit. So far. supervision has not played an im- portant role in Canadian farm credit programs. except through the Veterans Land Act. PUBLICITY

The general welfare of agricul- ture requires effective farm organ- izations to promote good public relations- A variety of measures are needed to keep agriculture in a sound position. some of them de- pendent on the good will and in- terest of governments and public. Farmers have a vital stake in making other groups in the econ- omy aware of the farm point of view on many policies which di- rectly and indirectly affect agri- culture.

It is important that farmers know their occupation well and be
