New Glasgow Junior Farmers,

Seen Moulding Community

By Mrs. Robert Rockham The New Gilasow and Districts! dumior Farmers are molding a Cammumity in which they share common rights, interests and pri- vileges. They propose that the! e@rea of people they contact will be improved by their influence. It will be many years before the true will be realized Good members of their orzan- ization are always mindful of oth- @r persons feelings, generous with time and ability, understanding, aympathetic and honest, and wil- fing to take their share of the re-

THREE TYPES

There are three types of mem- bers in any organization. There are those with special executive:

ebility. Persons with these qual-

ffieations are needed in every walk of life.

The best place to develop these gifts is in a community orzaniza- tion where freedom and oppor-

command. To good deal of

tunity are theirs to this group falls a

the responsibility.

Another type is the ordinary members who are willing to do the things which they see are

meeded to be done whether they wih receive publicity or not.

They never strive to get to the | tap by pulling others down. They | give a helping hand whenever | needed. They are always present whether things are going smooth- ly or are at odds

They don’t crite when mis-| takes are made unintentionally. | They are usually very rational | in their ideas and help hold an} even balance when the overenth-| usiastic try to sway things their) way.

They are optimistic when the) road ig a bit rowzh and are not | discouraged when things seem uninteresting for a while.

INDIVIDUAL TALENTS

They all have an individual tal- em whether it is baking a cake, drawing a poster, using a type- writer, Playing records, making | mechanical repairs, working im} canteen, running errands or mak- ing others smile

The ordinary members are the. thackbone of any group and carry the load through thick and thin

Then there are a few who fall | in the last type. They are there| when praise is to be sung. They} are easily offended if they don't; get their own way in any decis fon. They think they should get | aii the privilages that members receive. }

jthem to help they say they are overworked If fou don't then you

are trying to run everything.

DRIFTERS

It is best to ignore these. They will soon become unpopular and will leave the group in a huff or become worthy members so they won't be out of style. The first two types will serve not only in | club rooms and associations form- | ed by the group but from their experience they will expand and develop their own contacts and business associations. |

| The members who gain the most SPONSOR CLINIC

will be those who give the great- | est service to their organization. Some of the advantages these members will gain is the ability for leadership, a keen sense of | responsibility, ability in public | speaking and conversation, exper- tence in handling money and use

,of credit, new technique in farm- |

ing and accounting. contact with experienced persons from all | walks of life, marital unity from | working together on a common | cause, social functions which ; would not be possible without an | organized group, enthusiam in | group participation in Beautific- ation and pasture cpmpetitions, calfhood, vaccination, soil testing, AI.

“There are many things that | can be said and implied about the thinning, hoeing, pulling and slic ing of turnips,” says a writer in the Indianapolis Star. If mem- ory is correct and observation va- -lid, the comments and implica | tionshave been thoroughly handl- |ed. A sweet, mild turnip is an. ex- | cellent vegetable. Turnip greens

are a favorite dish with many. To |

date scientists are not certain of ithe origin of this root.

| The average citizen thinks tur- | nips and rutabages are the same: |but the turnip has 20 chromo- ;somes in its cell while the ruta- baga has 38. Turnips were grown ‘by the Romans at the beginning )of the Christian era and Pliny ‘described, long, roung and flat types. Cartier brought turnip seed to this continent in 1541. Old re-

y farm living and urban sophisti-; cords showed the Virginia colon- six to enjoy it. Nightly the mid-/ ction with cattle shows and-pari-_ ists planted turnips in 1609.

Perhaps a Paul Bunyan could have sliced 30 bushels per hour, But a 14-year-old after an all out try to match the catalog’s statement, was content to do con siderably less. It was a monoton- ous chore when a fellow got home from district school. The big pile of rutabagas on the main barn floor was covered with old horse blankets and canvases to keep the roots from freezing. Milking cows each got a half bucket of the slices and the growing heifers a few handfuls each.

Only a few farmers riase tur- nips today for stock: today it is corn or grain silage. But there are men who can recall the win- ter chore of cranking the root cutter. They can also recall how glad they were to see that last of the turnips used’.
