Description: This issue received guest articles on agricultural societies in Ontario, and modern seed testing. Professor Lochhead wrote an article on how geology determines the success of agriculture. The Agricultural articles pertain to tilling the soil, how freight transportation rates affect agricultural profits, and the experimentation of feeds for swine. Horticultural articles address the protection windbreaks afford the fruit grower, and orchard care and cultivation. The editorial reports the universality of photography as a past time amongst the students. Campus events were the public speaking contest and pantomime show. The Macdonald Notes contains an article about the sonnet as a form of poetry. Alumni news is available in the Our Alumni column.
