A Feature for Every Friday

A Among The Farmers-

l Federation

The First Snow

The first real snow fall not only changes the appearance of the 1.-iiids-cape but also brings a differ- ,,,; pattern into farm operations. Cattle are rounded up and housed tor the winter. buildings tighten- ,.d up and banking placed around the foundation. The first sleighs apppnf making their parallel Hacks through the fields or skirt- mg the edge of the highway. A few loads of wood appear in the nauscyard and here and tifere the old churn is taken out of storage .0 pmvlde some dairy butter for me coming winter. Vehicle driv- e.-s proceed with greater caution and quite frequently the unwary driver ends up in the ditch, not seriously injured perhaps but rliimbroundcd with his sudden misfortune. Heavier clothing ap- pears tor the children, handsleds we dragged from summer storage and snowmen are erected and de- .....wnd with dad's discarded hat.

Federation Meeting

The attention of Iiederation n'cl(-gates and members is directed to the County annual meetings to br: held in t following places on the dates ind cated.

Sumcrsldc, Tuesday, November 2T'.h at 2 p. m. in the High School .-illtlltoriuni; Montague, Wednes- rill)". November 28th at 2 p. m. in Yr-ois Theatre; Charlottetown, '1 liiirsday, November 29th at 2 p m in the Legion Hall. Grafton Street.

'l'he amount of business to be lranSa('.tPd- will quite likely mean that these meetings will continue in the evening.

Among the more important questions coming up are those of organizing the Federation into groups of districts. consideration of electoral reform. the problem of people leaving the farms.. im- migration, and reports from the newly formed Research Division of the Federation on recent surveys relative to rural problems.

These meetings will give farm- ers throughout the province an opportunity of discussing prob- '4-ms which can well bc of greater uvqcncy than our present mixture of prosperity and inflation indic- air

Pl:-yd Grlesbach. Secretary of National Farm Forum. in com- pany with the Federation secret- ary visited Prince County during lhr first days of the week and at- iciirled meetings at Miscouche, O'- lmary, Peterville and Tignish.

'.Fl1,c,.ps9rI3 lathe most North- em part of the province, while being handicapped by their dist- ance from the centre of things, and in need of rural electrificat- ion. are nevertheless doing a splendid job in taking an interest in their own affairs. supporting thn Federation. Farm-Forum, and A host. of community activities.

It would appear that emigrat- ion from the western extranity 0; the province is quite marked and rnrsequently many of the more progressive farmers are acquiring more land. a proceeding which while quite desirable from the standpoint of efficiency. intro- duces the problem of fewer people in the community to support Ischools, churches and neighborily lVlV'(.

P. I. I. Versus Toronto

While to many of our people. "I'0l'0ni0 may mean only the name -vi a large city. nevertheless, that city is a vacuum into which many of our best young people are being drawn to live in basement apart- ments at high rent under con- ditions certainly not conducive to lhv promotion or good citizenship.

Too many of our rural areas. due to lack of better roads, rural electrification and educational handicaps are unable to hold the young people in competition with the illusory advantages of a vast lily. glamorlzed by slanted reports at high wages that when analy- slml are not so high.

Prince Edward Island still offers as much if not more than Toronto to far as real living la concerned.

Iii Agriculture News

Improved education will assist us in seeing the picture more clearly and better conveniences, become I conclusive argument in enabling the province to hold lg people on the land, out in the sun. and under the stars.

Farm Forum Moves Ahead

The willingness of Farm people to meet in small groups in one on- others homes for study, discuss- ion and recreation is a very good indication of the amount of inter- est which the community has in itself and in rural problems. ,

1-rom this standpoint. interest so far this year is of higher level than one year ago. a substantial increase in the number of Forums remrtlng. the reorganization oi old Forums, the organization oi new ones. all indicate a. healthy attitude and a willingness in Qhe part of many rural people,to get

better acquainted with their neighbors and their ideas. Gr-ua Enaiiage in making casual calls through

"16 Drovince a surprising number of silos of different types filled with grass and clover mixtures are found. It would seem that pos- sibly more grass and hay was stor- ed in this way than may generally be realized. While many of the silos have not as yet. been opened reports from those that have are good.

Existing high prices for protein and commercial ieed are going to make food grass silage quite a de. slrable assistance in profitable livestock production.

Something New-Something old

The community of West Devon in Prince County has had in ex- istence some twenty five years.-a group known as "The Ladies Im- provement Society.” which is quite original and we think possibly the only one of its kind.

The ladies meet weekly' in the homes of the district to plan, in conjunction with their Womens' Institute the various activities necessary for community improve- ment.

The idea curled out in West Devon almost exactly parallels the Farm Forum group found in other communities with the exception that it was in operation ten or twelve -years before Farm Forum started. Here is an instance of a commu Iry acting entirely on its own initiative in organizing to deal with com inity problems.

A Last Reminder

WiI.I&-I.-vIII.U8 planning and by some cooperation with neighbors, arrangements can be made for at- tending the County annual meet- ings. Lct's have a good turnout and a demonstration of rural in- terest in rural problems at Sum- merside on 27th; Montague on 20th, and Charlottetown on 29th.

.a..:.:..AA. MARGARET STEWART BRANCH

The first fall meeting of the Margaret Stewart Branch oi! the Canadian Home Reading Union was held at the home of its presi- dent, Mrs. Cecil Stewart, Caven- dish Apartments. on November 10.

Of special interest was the read- ing of a letter from the president of the C.I-I.R.U.. Mrs. O. War- burton Cox. congratulating the Charlottetown Branch on the oc- casion of its 25th anniversary. The Margaret Stewart Branch is the oldest group in the C. H.R.U.

Each Branch has its own pro- gram, but all have a single pur- pose. io encourage reading and the appreciation of good literat- ure. One or the members of this club came second in the competi- tion for the Sir Henry Newbolt Memorial Prize; presented for an original short story last year. This season the Margaret Stewart Branch is putting particular em- phasis on poets and poetry. and the role of women in the arts.

Patroness of the C.i-i.R.U. is the Lady Tweedsmulr. who was act- ively interested during,hcr resi- dence in Canada as wife of the Governor General.
