INCREASE OF x3 RURAL SCHOOL GARDENS AND FAIRS Last year there were three Rural School Fairs in Waterloo County, inâ€" cluding 26 schools. > In the County there are 84 _ Rural schools. _ This, year 53 of these schools are taking part in the Rural School Fair Work, these schools beâ€" ing divided into six school Fairs. To supply the children from these schools ‘\\ith seed, it will take 236 packages of (olden Bantam _ sweet corn, 172 packages â€" O.A.C. No. 72 oats, 445 packages or 50 bushels of Davies Warâ€" rior potatocs, 77 packages of O.A.C. No. 21 barley, 69 packages Wisconsin No. 7 silo corn, 160 packages of Yelâ€" low Leviathan mangel seed, 180 dozâ€" en bredâ€"toâ€"lay Barred Rock eggs, 88 packages turnip seeds and 728 packâ€" ages of plots. It is felt that if we are going to solve the Rural Problem, we must provide â€" something to interest . thi boys and girls \‘ agriculture. As the boys grow _ oldert the stock judging competitions at the Fall Fairs,â€" the month‘s course in agriculture and the various competitions for boys _ who have taken this course including, acre profit, baby beci and feeding hogs for profit, provide another source of in terest and education for them. We cannot pay too much attention _ ofr take too much interest in the youtl of our Rural communities. There is also a monetary side _ to the school fair. The seed sent out is of the very best varieties of the difâ€" ferent crops. This, in many cases, is a start in better seed on the _ home farm. The same is true of the eggs. In the older school fair districts, there is a marked improvement _ in several of the flocks of poultry. The School Fair Districts this year includes the schools in North _ Dumâ€" fries, in the South half of Wilmot, the Southern part of Waterloo, al} 0; Woolwich _ and the Western half â€" of Wellesiley, Township. t NOT REPORTING â€" CASES OF MEASLES Medical Health Officer Dr. Bauman ~eported at the meeting of the Boarc of Health on Wednesday evening thai there are quite a number of cases of racaclos which are mot being reported to him, cither by the family or the medical aitcngant.
