Ontario we have twothirds of the pure white water of the world and pol lution is entering these more and more Gases that are be ing allowed to escape into the air are also setting up pollu tion The acres under cultivation are rapidly decreasing through the loss of land to industry Mos farmers toda are find ing they are having to pur chase feeds and seed as it is shown that 28 per cent of their income is spent for these while only six per cent is spent on fertilizers The purpose of enlighten ment is to get the agricultur ists to realize the proper crops to produce on the type of lands they are cultivating and the host fertilizers to ap ply Humavn flood acreages are decreasing yet atpresemt we still have surpluses Much of this may be owing to the feeds not now consumed by horses which at one time took 28 per cent of the crops produced he stated Mr Bennett concluded by saying that we have need to preserve lands not only for food but for recreation and reforestation so that we may protect the fresh water sup plies The land belongs to Mann few that are dead few who are living and countless numbers yet unborn We have responsibility to posterity to leave better land for those who
