Description: Three articles in this issue focus on Northern Ontario and address agricultural co-operation, farming opportunities, and how trapping is evolving into fur farming. Other agricultural articles address environmental influences on fruit trees, a book review of "Canadian Dairying", the production of seed grain, hatchability of eggs for a healthy flock, how rural living contributes to a wholesome life, and concern for farming with the increase in urbanization. The Macdonald column reports on a field trip to Kitchener, sports night, and Halloween activities. College news contains updates on the athletics results, the Cosmopolitan Club dance, the Student Co-operative Society meeting, and the Union Literary meetings. The Alumni column features an article on Lucy Barker and her pioneering work in agricultural education at Moosonee, James Bay.
