New Type Of Farmers Recently, 3 young men were giaduated froim the two-yeai- course at the Agricultural College, Guelph. Practically all â€" 3S to be e.tact â€" went back to the fai-m, in most cases their owii. In fact, accoixling u> reliable soui-ces, more agricultural college graduates on a per capita basis are going back to f:irms ir Canada than in any other country. In the light of the worrisome proib- lem of how to keep the boy on the farm, these facts are most encour- aging, indeed. They not only fore- cast a brighter future for Canadian agriculture, but can help make Can- ada one of the world's most pro- gressive food producing nations. Some oldtimers may regard this â-  return of the college-bred boy to They advised that some S2.000.(ii â-  has been subscri.hed and is on deposit j in the local Bank for that pui-pose.

Qroom And Bride Honored parents, who paid for their son s ; education, will rebel when the young- ster suggests a revision of time- tried farming practices. "You can't plow a field with a diploma" is an eNpression too often heard in severa' sections of the country. Such an attitude is non-sensical. There is much behind that diploma. There are years of intense classroom study; practical work on the best experimental farms on the contin- ent: scientific research in labori- toriesi, .
