At‘ every step from farm to con-‘ sumer, agricultural business men work to finance, insure, buy and sell, store and process and dis-, tribute farm products. Banks, co- operatives, wholesale and retail outlets, marketing and transpor- tation companies are just a few, of the big agricultural’ business concerns in need of new people. with advanced training, such as. may be had at, Canada’s agricul- tural colleges ‘ and ‘universities. The country's \langest single employer of professional agricul- turists is the Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture. Through Ex- penimental farms, Science Ser- vice and other agencies it carries on research and investigation of a wide range of agricultu mat- products, helps to improve mark- eting methods’ and disseminates information. .. .- «- .-.- other federal «government ._,de- sparhments and agencies,-‘such as ‘flfrade and Con1snerIc’e'p"_}Ieteran.s . .

Provincial departments of agri- culture are set up to assist and advise famners, and to carry out various policies and programs. Persons employed by govern- ments are’ members of Federal or“-Provincial civil services. These services employ many field are offered by both govern- ment and private industrial in- stitutions. Agricultural conservationists engage in land use and develop- ment programs, grassland and forests restoration, flood control projects, soil surveys, wild life management and control, insect and disease control, and many others. For young men and women with creative minds, a profession in the field of agricultural com- munications offers a strong ap- peal. Communications expand the scope of, the extension worker and teacher whose job it is to convey information to farmers. Farm writers and editors, farm exzperts in radio and television, photographers, and farm adver- tising specialists are just a few of the. many types of trained personnel ih constant demand in Canada for jobs that are of vast importance to the progress of the farming ._industry.

By careful - selection from a wide choice of ’ varieties a long season of bloom -. ma_v be obtained with relatively little effort. Improvements in single petuni- as have been most outstanding in the “Redskin" group of F1 multifloras. The varieties Apache. Comanche. Mohawk. Paleface and Sioux cover a wide range of colors but have the same habit. vigor and flower characteristics. Comanche, the forerunner of the group, is the most outstand- ing red variety.

RESIST DROUGHT in one year’s test the new Cuthbertson Floribunda strain of sweet peas ‘had the superior drought resistance, vigor, and heavy flower production that dis- tinguished the original Cuthbert- son sweet peas. In addition, the new strain produces more flow- ers per stem: some stems pro- ducing from five to seven large fragrant flowers. The Zvolanek Floribunda strain of sweet peas is unequalled for its outstanding exhibition quality blooms, but is less resistant to dry weather conditions and is shorter in vine growth than the Cuthbertson Flo- «ribunda.

GRADUATES NEEDED The Agricultural Institute of- Canada states that‘.agriculture needs hundreds of graduates each year to fill new. jgps in’ the in- dustrial and related fields. But the supply of agricultural college graduates falls far short of meet- ing the demand, year after year. Thus opportunity awaits the agri-‘. cultural college graduate in many fields. And scholarships and bur- saries are available at many agricultural colleges. Intelligent high school students may often» solve a cost problem through such assistance. If you enjoy farm life, and-like to help others, perhaps your fu- ture lies somewhere in the wide field of agricultural education. Actually, there has never been quite enough agricultural teach- ers and extensionists to fill a rapidly-growing _need in voca- tional schools and universities, and in the extension services, provided by governments, indus- trial and business institutions. _ One of the most challenging careers in the whole field of agri-. culture is that of the'researchI,. worker‘. Actually agricultural re- scarce is an infant compared to research’ ‘in some other fields: Hybrid c orn, ru st resistant wheats, better malting barleys, faster feathering and earlier lay- ing hens’, broad breasted t-urkeys,§ early weaning of pigs—all those advances and many others are due solely to the activities of the research worker.

The Canadian Veterinary Medical As- sociation says it has been increa- sing in recent years. The disease is the result of cattle swallowing nails or bits of baling wire or other metal around the barn, the feed lot. or while grazing. However, veterinarians have been helping prevent complica- tions from this cause by having cattle swallow a magnet, which remains in the paunch where it attracts and holds the metal ob- jects and usually prevents them from doing damage. Hardware disease may result in a lost of milk production, and can even cause the death of an animal if the metal object passes through the stomach wall into the heart or some other vital organ. . When an owner thinks that a valuable animal may possibly have hardware disease, the vet- erinarian can tell whether metal is present in the stomach by use of a “detector," -similar in prin- ciple to a wa.rtime mine detec- tor. If treated in time the ani- mal usually can be saved by an operation. -’ The most destructive agent of forests other than man, is forest imects and disease, which ac- fi/re losses each ycar.in the U.S. count for more than double the filial Happens To Weeds In " Winter Time To paraphrase a line {ruin an olrl song “wliere do weeds :0 in the winter time?" some knowl- edge of weeds and their grmiinz, habits is of help in using suitable methods to exterminate them. Weeds are commonly classified as annuals, biennials and porcu- nials, with winter annuals as a convenient. though not very scientific further distinction. An annual weed may be a winter an- nual when it starts in fall and is? fortunate in its location or in a mild season; or it may be a win- ter annual because it is growing sufficiently far south to survive the somewhat rigorous winter on most of the North American con-‘ tinent. GERMINATING WEED 1 An annual is a weed that ger-I minates in the spring. or early: summer, grows and reproduces before winter. dying naturally when caught by autumn fro-sts.i Its progency, the seed, is safelyf tucked away within seed coats; capable of withstanding winter's} adversities.
