approximately consumed A social
honr or two follows and sometimes tho
entire afternoon is given over to social
affairs. However u was decided this
year to have a man out from the Agri-
cultural College to take up the discus
sion OF certain local farm problems
and a considerable portion Of the aft
ernoon was taken up Ia answering
questions propounded by interested
farmers.
Here is suggestion which might
find application in many communities.
A farmers picnic is in order at any
time. For the social good OF the farm
er and his family every community
needs more OF them. Why not give ii
q practical side as well by deyoting an
hour or so TO the discussion OF ioca!
farm problems?

are adopting them. 1t is said that len
