NEW HAMBURG.â€"The moeting of the officers and directors of the held in the Library Hall on Friday to hear the reports of the annual conâ€" vation of.the Agricultural Societies held in Toronto in February. | Mrs. A. R. G. Smith gave the reâ€" port of the women‘s section which was attended by 90 delegates. This section has grown during the past tew years and hbas introduced many new features for competition espeâ€" clally in the junior girls‘ classes. n "b m‘a-::u::'m inâ€" trained by t ’ltructlolu in this very interesting section in the Home Crafts‘ Section of the fall fairs. «. Society Progressing Rapidly Mr. Heipel, who for the first meetâ€" ing, presided as president of the Association, gave a detailed ‘report of many interesting suggestions for the development of the Agricultural interests of every rural community. The matter of a turnip crop comâ€" petition was discussed following the statement of Wilfred Schneller that the farmers of Wilmot had received $18,000 for shipping turnips during the year 1938. Agricultural Representative Speaks ‘ E. I. McLoughry, ‘agricultural reâ€" presentative was present and gave an interesiing address on the proâ€" posed plans of the Field Crop Imâ€" provemmt Association, a branch of which was recently formed in Waterâ€" loo County. The photographic map ‘of Wilmot Township showing the vaâ€" ‘riety of soils in the township was very interesting. Mr. McLoughry pointed out that the land in Wilmot had ‘been farmed for 150 years and consequently many elements had ‘been removed which it was .importâ€" ant to retain and some form of farmâ€" ing was necessary that would put back into the soil the elements which were removed to successive cropping. }'l‘he balance of forests to conserve lwaterways and soil moisture was | very» important. ‘The new organizaâ€" ‘tion would take up the whole matter and if possible secure the coâ€"operaâ€" ‘tion of the landowners to keep Waâ€" terloo County an outstanding county lin the production of livestock and crops. He mentioned the importance of the seed fair to be held in Waterâ€" The reports showed that satisfacâ€" tory progress had been made during the year. The Central organization in ‘Toronto had introduced the idea of paying the compliment of the community to _ an _ outstanding person in each community for their efforts to improve agricul ture in the community by supplying a diploma. Ninety of these had been presented. uie The Stratford Agricultural 8e ciety had presented their first diploâ€" ma to Hon. Nelson Monteith, who had introduced the reforestation scheme during his terms of office as Minister of Agriculture some years ago. Mr. Heipel was impressed with the large number of delegates that attended despite the fact that memâ€" bership has increased according to th amount of government grant. Wilmot Agricultural Society now pays $4.00, the fee formerly being $2.00. The outstanding feature of the convention in Mr. Heipel‘s opinion was the enthusiasm for the projects which Agricultural Societies could sponsor, among them being home and school beautification and reâ€" forestation. The meeting decided to sponsor a calf club but no field crop competiâ€" tions this year. fl!

This feature was a decided success last year and should prove of value to the comâ€" munity this year. The revision of the prize list will take place at a later date. Owing to the increased expenâ€" diture for agricultural purposes in 1938 the government grant should be larger in 1939. A representative will attend the district, meeting usually held in Guelph in the month of June. The dates of the New Ham burg fair for 1939 will be the Friday and Saturday following London Fair.
