NEW APPROACH Land is our chief resource but we are wasting much of this val-
uable asset. A large number of;
vacant farms can be found on Prince Edward Island. Agricul- ture is a basic -industry upon which every other industry de pends. Agriculture is changing. It is not too much to say that in ten years most present day farm methods will be obsolete. What are we doing about it?
Again I have not heard any good reason why a good living can't be made off a farm and why our vacant land cannot be taken up again and utilized to the full with profit. But our farmers must change their methods dras- tically to meet neded changes in production pointed out by ag- marketing practice, and changing consumer demand.
PLANNING
There is no sense being short sighted in agriculture; it femands careful planning and the emph- on giving the consumer a quality product that has well in industry. Artifi- i like floor prices are good in only a limi- ted way. Hard facts must be faced; and, for example, if the Texans can sell their carrots ef- fectively in our own stores when we're growing them here and can’t sell them, we simply have te learn how:*to- grow and sell carrots properly.
How to do it? I suggest that ‘everyone concerned with agricul- ture, and indeed any industry, might read Margaret Leatherbar- row’s book “Gold in the Grass,” the story of how her husband, who was not a farmer, bought a rundown farm of one hundred acres on which nothing would grow, and in seven years, and against every obstacle, changed it into one of Canada’s finest and most efficient farms by using his imagination, finding out the facts, and changing methods.
Sevn years ago farmers laugh- ed at him; today farmers and ag- ricultural scientists flock to his farm in Almira, Ontario, to see it
and get his advice. There’s gold in the grass right here too. But we need nothing short of a com nuste revelution in farm meth- ods to get it. AYRSHIRES

For Nuciear Material
By IAN DONALDSON Canadian Press Staff Writer HALIFAX (CP) — A Canadian
research scientist said Monday one of man’s early inventions may become a safe storehouse for dangerous nuclear by-prod- ucts including strontium-90.
Dr.. A. K. Bancroft, assistant research officer with Atomic Energy: of Canada Limited at Chalk River, Ont., told the 42nd annual convention of the Chemis- try Institute of Canada that radioactive fission products can be buried safely and economi- cally in glass.
About 300 chemists are attend-
members and three visitors pre- sent. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.
John and Blair Webster were appointed to see if the next judg- ing class could be held at Mr. A.S. MacSwain’s.
Mr. MacLean passed out re
port forms on accident informa- tion,
The next meeting will be held on June 1, at 8 o’clock p.m. Biair

products into glass will be small but important operation in the nuclear power system.”
The processing system was “simple . . . and costs are quite acceptable.”
SLOW TO DISSOLVE
Laboratory tests indicate that only about one one-millionth of a reasonable sized -piece of glass dissolves in water ih a year. Little of the fission products would escape if the processed glass were “buried and forgot- ten.”
Dr. Bancroft’s paper was the first of more than 125 to be pre- sented.

In year failures at universities, Dr. R. P. Graham, chemistry profes- sor at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., said eight of 10 freshman failures at the univer- sity “‘admit they don't work hard enough.""/
HIGH SCHOOL WORK
Dr. Francis J. Toole, dean of graduate studies at the Univer- sity of New Brunswick in Freder- icton, said “the university has been required to do high school work too long.”
G. W. MacKenzie, of the Nova Scotia education department, said high school problems have grown with a-mushrooming en- rollment. He said the number of students in grade 12 in Nova Scotia has increased 20 times since“1900. Seven per cent of those who started school in 1900 finished’ the 12-year course. About 37-per cent complete it now.
Dr. William Gnyp, assistant professor of chemistry at Essex College, Assumption University of Windsor, Ont., said the first-
year student is “lost when he ar-
rives.”” Extra-curriculor acti¥}- ties make studying a poor see ond choice, he said.
On Arming
MOSCOW (AP) — The Soviet Union has told the United States that arming NATO countries with nuclear weapons and i “entailed extremely dangerous consequences for peace’ and com- flicted with the aims of the Gen- eva Big Four conference.
The news agency Tass said Sat- urday a Soviet note especially singled, out the arming of West Germany and expressed the hope that the U.S, would refrain from any action “that might increase international tension.”
The note was one of several handed to ambassadors of North Atlantic Treaty Organization powers in Moscow.
