'A HEAVY DISCOUNT

The fourth grade of cattle known

as the (D) grade. contains com-

mon steers and heifers, good cows

land cows above Canners and Cut-

ters. The common steers and heif-

ers are divided on the basis of

those dressing over 350 lbs. and those dressing 349 and down. The

llower weights are usually poorly, ffinisbed and suffer a heavy dis-l 'count amounting to approximate-I lly t7.00 per hundred. For instance I a steer of the grade in question, dressing 400 lbs. could be wortlil 3100. but one in the same grade, dressing 300 lbs. woud bring :54.- truly a heavy discount.

The moral of all this is that these underweight cattle are not wanted by the packers and should have more feed and finish before being sold. or else sbld as feeders to those who have the feed to im- prove them.

FARM FORUM CONCLUDES

The concluding programme for Farm Forum on Monday night will feature discussion on the Inter-. natlonai Wheat Agreement, a mat- ter on which negotiations are pre- sently in progress.

A recent review of Farm Forum view-point over the past sixteen years establishes the fact that thinking rural people have been well abreast if indeed not in ad- vance of Governments in develop- ing support for progressive meas- ures. As long as ten years ago the Forums pointed out the import- ance of a National approach to health. Even before that the lust- ice of universal old age pensionsl was up-held. In the early war years Farm Forum thinking fore- saw the necessity of Price Supports and Floor Prices in pos5 war years.

While Farm Forum has not built for itself many monuments of brick or stone yet it has. in the cultural and educational fields developed memorials that stand as a tribute to the desire for cultural improvement which is a compell- lng urge in the minds of our bestx farm people. .

In this Province the elemeni' played a major part in reducing! Farm Forum activity during the past season. Weekend storms with snow-blocked lanes on Monday l night together with the January sleet storm which put many Prince County radios out of commission.; all had a discouraging effect on enthusiasm for rural adult educat-. on

THE RURAL SCHOOL

In general the rural school has not been a pretentious institution either architecturally or education ally. but in spite of its limitations It has great accomplishments to its credit. The obtaining of an ed- ucation requires individual work and application. rural boys and girls generally are taught the val-l

the country and on the farm is an: educational experience in itself. V

Thus the rural school is not und- er the necessty of doing quite as,

counterpart. Hence the accomp-1 Iishments in spite of the imperfect- ions. However. it is extremely dif- ficult to compensate for the lack of well trained and skilled teach- ers and this is the situation in many rural schools. The City school offers many advantages to the teacher. Cities do not produce their own teachers and must raid the country for them. stripping the rural schools of the best and most ambitious teachers.

We believe that rural people should be giving a great deal more thought to the quality of their teach a and Sinking a great deal more about where present trends are leading than educationally.

The recent discussion in the Leg- ialature on the question of winter roads brings to mind scenes oi past years when the horse was standard transportation and the breaking of winter roads a require- ment o good citizenship by all ablebodied farmers. We still recall the scene with the procession of three or four woosleighs. and horses making their way through the drifts. if the horse bogged down men and shovels dived off the sleigh and proceeded to put an end to the 'equine deep freeze.

In many cases the snow-drifted roads were bandoned for a track

.made through the fields. in some

cases to the annoyance of those whose fences suffered. If the snow became very deep the track would be hushed as a guide for aidlng in its discovery after sue

- ceeding storms. Winter road break

lng was an institution which is now a thing of the past so far as the farmer is concerned. Mechan- ization has been brought into play
