Description: There are four articles in this issue. The first article features how agricultural education and the electrification of farm labor may address rural depopulation. The second article pertains to the business side of farming and that with careful business practices, accurate record keeping, and economic co-operation, farming may be a profitable endeavor. The next article summarizes the history, curriculum, and attitudes toward agricultural education in Ontario ranging from the public school level to the post secondary level at the Ontario Agricultural College. The final article on the study of home economics outlines how proper air ventilation, good treatment of farm labor, and astute hiring practices may increase the profitability of a farm. This month's issue does not contain Alumni or Macdonald columns.
