The first of the series of Agricultural Short Courses inaugurated by the De- partment ot Agriculture was comple- ted at Palmer Road on Friday evening During the full week a large atten- dance, averaging ,99 was had for the thirteen sessions that were held. At eachand every session the subject un- der discussion was treated in a logical and practical manner by those in charge, while the attention given, ques- tions and the congenial spirit of co- operation between all concerned tes- tified to the reliability of the informa- tion gained. ‘ As a fitting climax to the week of Agricultural work the last meeting was devoted to community interests and recruiting. Dancing and refresh- ments were enjoyed until it was an- nounced that all should assemble to do honour to those who heard the call of the Motherland. Rev. Father Gau- .tbler in his usual eloquent and forceful style portrayed Lthe needs of produc- tion at' home 'for which some must he kept and the -Patriotism which should beanswered by as many as could vol- unteerto tight for the honour and wel- fare of Canada, and the British Em- pire. i Fifteen young men answered the call of their leader and enrolled their names while those present cheer- ed their valor and self-denial. Much credit is due the people of Pal- mer Road District and the enthusias- tic efforts of Father Gauthier in carry- ing the short course to a successful Bnish. 1 The next Short Course will be held at 0'Lea.ry January 17 to 22 beginning on`_tbe.evening ot.the_17th to which all those who areinterested are cordially invited. ‘ ' ' . liiillslif.
