We were soon to understand the meaning-of what he said; as the bril- ' liant colors of desert lands lit upon | the screen. Mr. Peel narrated and told of how the Indians used to live in caves several hundred years ago "Natural eaves found in the limestone hills were their homes, even 200 years ago. Some of the Indian stone mass -onry- forming "crude 3 story houses ste against the cliffs were over a thousand years old and were still standing. Plains of colored sand bristling with snggebush and dotted with petrified logs were to be found in Arizona. Petrified logs laying among the brush looked like cattle scattered over the plains, grazing. "These logs were originally trees", explained Mr. Peel, 'buried three hundred feet under the surface, they 'are now harder than rock and more like glass. The pictures showed how the logs had the natural grain appearing and were stained with the colors of the rainbow, High in the hills of Colorado the highway found its way through rug- ged country with snow fringing the roadway in October Mr. Peel pointed out a post with a box on top of it. "That is a service telephone" he ex- plained. "If you are ever in trouble and need help" they told us, "use it." Fortunately we didn't have to. Mr. Peel is obviously an excellent photographer. The pictures were cleariand sharp in outline. He also showed pictures of Canadian flowers. there were many close-ups in the group, bringing out their true beauty in nature's aluring colors. Murray Holtby very capably intro- duced Mr, Peel, and explained how Ron Peel was known nationally and internationally for his position in the poultry industry.

His business depands him to travel occasionally and he must also be a believer in the saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." During the separate meetings, the girls conducted their group on the theme of "Party Planning." President Cathryn Martyn conducted the busi- ness portion. During their meeting they illustrated their "Party Plan- ning" topic by making a small sponge cake and eating it. The boys' meeting was 'under the ¢hiairmanship of President Clare Ver- non, who after conducting the busi- later joining in a lively discussion. The soil is like a bank, keep on tak- ing material out of your soil and never returning material and you can't continue long. This was Mur- ray's advice as he "drove home" the ! SING point with the capable explanation of the chemical requirements and plant food necessities of various farm crops. The liquid. part. of the manure con. tains fifty percent of the nitrogen, he | explained, and much of it is lost by running 'of f before it is applied to the land. Murray favoured the use of more concentrated commercial ferti- lizers in the future as they were cheaper due to less filler and conse- quently less freight costs. During the joint meeting we, en- joyed a period of games and tag danc- ing under the direction of Betty Read- | er. Following this a large percentage | of our Blackstock visitors and our own Juniors, proceeded to the base: ment where some ambitious young ladies served delicious refreshments, Coffee, several kinds of sandwiches,' cookies and chocolate cake, "fit for a! king", and ovér fifty Junior Farmers' went home . knowing they would re-' turn to the next meeting.
