Fraser Valley Farmers Enjoy

Most of City Advantages; All

Advantages of Country Living
Assistant District Agriculturist Speaks

On Extension and Junior Club Work; Stress
Laid on Keeping Records and Organization

“In the Fraser Valley, farmers enjoy most of the advantages
of living in the city and all the advantages of living in the coun-
try,” declared Assistant District Agriculturist G. H. Muirhead, ad-
dressing the quarterly general meeting of Mission City & District
Agricultural Association.

AUCTION PRICES

The consignment of cattle was
good at the Dennis Auction sale
on Saturday, with fresh cows a
little easier and beef and young
stock good. A 4-year-old Hol-
stein cow,. fresh five days, sold
for $127.50, and other fresh cows

e Mr. Muirhead outlined the ob-
jectives of the extension work
and junior club work of the Dis-
trict Agriculturist’s Office.

The overall object, he said, is
an attempt to produce a more
enjoyable agricultural life.

The extension or adult features
of the work were not as well
known as the junior club work
now enjoying increasing popular-
ity. Basically, however, it is de-
signed to help increase product-
ion, reduce costs of production
and thus in this two-way man-
ner create a higher standard or
better way of living.

In part this is accomplished
through encouraging quality in
livestock, poultry ana crops.

Principal objective of Junior
Club Work, Mr, Muirhead said,
is to give the young people an
interest, mental and financial, in
agriculture; to teach boys and
girls the working of a farm oper-
ation completely, as for example,
raising a calf to maturity, keep-
ing the necessary records and
knowing if the animal is profit-
able or otherwise—‘something too
many farmers do not know,” he
remarked.

It has been found, the speaker
said, that the most efficient form

but the prices were high, butcher

girls in how to take the ‘guess
work’ out of agriculture they
‘|know, when they want to start
out for themselves just what
they want to do and can do.
One of the most important
functions of Junior Club Work,
the Assistant District Agricultur-
ist said, is to instruct the boys
and girls in how to keep proper
records.

Through club organization, Mr.
Muirhead pointed out, the young
people are also taught the value
of co-operation.

The fundamentals of co-oper-
ation are not known to many far-
mers, and, he declared “Unless
we learn to organize and_ stick
ge with it we will . have little
® chance of survival in agriculture.”

Mr. Muirhead was introduced
by G. A. Jones, junior club field-
man of Mission Agricultural As-
sociation, an appreciation of his
address was voiced on behalf of
the largely attended meeting by
H. A. Borg of Matsqui.

@ Growing Onion seed
on one of the British
Columbia seed farms

developed by
Buckerfield's: Limited

Within 1 recent years, the progress made by the British
Columbia seed industry has virtually made this province
self-sufficient in this important branch of agriculture.

For some time past the development of seed farms has
been one of the major concerns of this Company. Through
seed farms located in widely separated parts of the proy ince,
we haye constantly sought to improve the strains and
increase the volume of all the main plant yarieties grown
in B.C. This work has been so successful ‘that today we
can supply all demands.

In addition, we have built the largest cleaning and assembly
plant in the West, equipped with modern machinery for

} cleaning and grading, as well as testing rooms and
germinators. :

More and more B.C. growers are relying on Buckerfield’s
Better Seeds, and we sincerely believe them to be unexcelled
for quality and dependability.
