Discussing the applications, with
out mentioning names, Mr.. Waterman
| said yesterday:
ALL GOOD MATERIAL.
Every one of them would be a
good representative of this county,
and they really represent the coun-
/ tv as a whole pretty well. Some OF
! them, however, are punched, as far
| as residence is concerned. It does not
/ follow that I would not name two
/ from the same neighbOThoOd, but 1
would not do this if I find an equally
good man further away.
Il have had a good many inquiries
| from parents, and find that both
| grown farmers and Young farmers
take a keen interest in the matter
/ My only fear is that some might not
/ apply, just for fear of it being said
| that they were turned down They
! should not have any such fear. We
! can care for ten, and OF course, some
| one will have TO be disappointed, but
| the farmer or farm youth who ap-
plies has some chance, even II he is
one Of twenty or thirty, or even
fifty applicants, while the fellow who
does not apply will, OF course, have
no chance at all"
