e Veteran.s' Land Act officers of the Province in a session that be. Kan at nine and lasted until near- ly midnight. It began with the productive capacity of the 5011 on the farm of Pope Thorne, West. Royalty. and ended with the csti. mated net income likely to be de- rived from the I051 farm prog)-gm,

Chairman of the programme throughout was F. F. Kennedy V. L. A. regional counsellor. Gu'e;ts included. besides Mr. and Mrs. Thorne, the Hon. C. C. Baker.

P”.m0t,e'- 5- 0- Wrisht: o. a. Whllveslde. Dominion Dept. of Ag. riculture soil specialist, and W.N. Black. supervisor of Illustration Stations. p

Senior V. L. A. official present was H. R. Hare. Ottawa. super-in. tendcnt of farm development for Canada and widely-known farm economist. Mr. Hare planned the (day's programme and led the even- IHE discussion on the economic ss- Pects of the plans suggested.

The morning session. spent ob- serving and assessing the phyglcgl resources of the farm. was damp- ened somewhat by showers, but the 15 agriculturists inspected ev- ery field. looked at soil horizons and viewed the buildings. equip- ment and livestock.

After lunch they returned to the V. L. A. regional office and. after listening to a resume of the farm resources. divided into two groups. each group being instruct- ed to bring in a programme for 1951.

Only speaker at the luncheon was Mr. Baker. who said that any effort to aid farmers is all to the good. and promised the V.L.A. Ad- ministration the full cooperation of his department. He also invited the farmer-veterans to participate in the agricultural short courses run by the Department of Education in cooperation with the Depart- ment of Agriculture.

Neither of the two groups had completed their plan when the time came to reassemble for the final resume and analysis. Mr. Hare pointed out that. considering the time available. this was to be expected. He noted that both plans, as far,aa completed. ,, r- ed sound. although different.

"Even if we had five groups." he said. "we would have five different proposed plans. each quite satis- faclory."
