Duncan Marshall, Declar | Schools Are Just Fashionab | Give Young Men and Wo | Agriculture and agricultural edu- | cation is more neglected than any | other subject in Canada, declared | the Hon. Duncan Marshall, in com- mencing his unique and striking ad- dress before the Kiwanis Club Mon- day evening. Mr. Marshall was for- merly miniSter of agriculture in Al- berta and is now Liberal organizer | in Ontario. He loses no opportunity of speaking on the great theme of agriculture to business men for pub- lic opinion has a great deal to do with the success of agriculture. Can- ada's greatest resource is agricul- | ture and the prosperity of the coun- | try depends more than anything else upon the soil. When the farmer is | getting on, every one does well; | when farming conditions are bad, | all business in this country is poor. | In view of this unquestionable fact it is strange how little the govern- | ments have done to improve farms. Mr. Marshall's duties have often | Give a boy a good cow that gives | taken him to Europe, and one fis | constantly surprised there at the | boy feels it is worth while. He takes | of the| kindly to it and is fond of the ani-| uniformly good conditions farms and stock. We fondly think | | that we are more advanced in our methods than is Europe. But the tenant system of the Old Land, which we abhor, has there produced | the very best of farmers. The ten- ant can only remain in possession if | he can pay rent, and to do so and { live he must get the very best out of | the land and maintain the best of | | stock. The land passes from father | to son and with it an exact know- ledge of how each fleld must be cul- tivated to secure the best results.

Canada, on the other hand, has| { offered men the oppor unity of own- | ing their farms and has drawn men from the towns and cities to occupy | rich virgin land upon which almost | anyone could make a living. As a| | result one half of our agricultural | | population are indifferent farmers] {and agriculture is going into decay | [as the land is exhausted. Twenty- | | ive years ago some of the land in | Ontario was being better farmed | and produced better cattle than is| | the case today. | The popular disparagement of ag- riculture has a very great deal to do | with {ts unfortunate condition | "Poor girl, she married 4 farmer," people say. The agricultural col- lege at Guelph was started to teach scientific agriculture but failed to meet the need of the practical far- mer and students were few. Men were therefore brought in from the f oitiea and from Europe to be trained there, while the farmers' sons went plodding along as best he could. Even now the practical farmer is Be- He) tise it is because their stock is not | Demonstration Farms the Remedy ~~ For Curing Farming Ills of Canada es That the Great Agricultural le Boarding Houses, Which men A Wrong View. ing lectured to by men from offices who have never farmed for a living. | And the great agricultural schools | are fashionable boarding houses | which give young men and women a wrong view so that they will never | go back to the farm. Away From Agriculture. The speaker turned to his own boyhood and showed how all the in- fluence of the teachers was away | from agriculture and towards mak- | | ing the pupils enter the teaching | profession or employment. So, too, | the attitude of the public and comic | To press was to lampoor young people | wish (i {away from agriculture. We | every bright boy and girl to go in | for something "better than farm- | ing." ee Many farmers have trouble get- | ting their boys to milk. Half the | worth milking and the boys know it. her sixty pounds of milk and the | { mal, working with her to try and | bring up her production even higher. But set him down to an old rip at which he has to do half an hour of | leather pulling for | quarts which are often spilled in his | fights with her and he turns against | milking. There is no satisfaction in | doing anything for that sort of] a few mean [ll brute save pounding her with the | milking stool. Let the boys and girls have good stock which grows beau- tiful under their eyes, in which they can take pride and interest and farming will be lifted to an attrac- tive profession. ---- The Finest Occupation. In Europe and Britain farming 1s | looked on as the finest occupation in | the world, the one that gives the most joy and satisfaction in its | work, the one in which the happieat | homes are established. In Canada, | too, farming should be considered | the finest profession in the world | today. Mr. Marshall's cure for farming ills is education. Not big agricultu- ral schools but small ones, demon- stration farms, run almost on the same basis as the ordinary farm. Here the boys and girls would get the essential sclentific and theoreti- cal training during the winter and practice it at home during the sum- mer. He established six such schools in Alberta and the results convinced him that by this means the agricul- ture of Canada can be raised to the prime and noble position which it should occupy. A hearty vote of thanks was ten- dered to the speaker on behalf of Macdonell and seconded by Dr. E. Ryan. FORMER LONDON WOMAN | IN SENSATIONAL CASE |Dr. MacRoberts Sues New | York Clergyman for Allenat- Ing Wife's Affections. London, Ont., April 28.---Mrs. Robert C.
