Agricultural Society Sponsors Boys’ Camp The Vermilion Agricultural Society, which has for some years worked in close contact with the School of Agriculture, and which has managed to surv ive several years of depression, fostered agricultural education for boys in 1934 through the medium of a Boys’ Camp. Almost one hundred boys and young men, drawn from a wide area, were the guests of the Society for the two days of the Vermilion Fair and were students at the School of Agriculture for two days preceding the Fair. The Department of Agriculture at Edmonton generously supplemented the School of Agriculture staff, providing the necessary instructors for the boys, during their stay at the School. Classes in livestock judging featured the sessions, while attention was also given to breeding, feeding, grading and marketing. The Agricultural Society invited boys from all over Northern and Central Alberta to attend the course, lasting for four days, the total cost to the young men being $3.00, which included the cost of board and which entitled the boys to become members of the Society. In 1935 it is hoped to extend the scope of the course, and to operate the Camp for girls as well as boys,- an endeavor is being made to again secure the facilities ofthe School of Agriculture and, if present plans mature, any girl or boy between the ages of twelve and twenty-one will be welcome to take advantage of the courses offered. The cost will remain at a low figure and U.F.A. groups and others are urged to keep in touch with the plan and to make it possible for some young woman or young man to attend. Full particulars of the courses, which will, it is hoped, include in¬ struction in canning, etc., for girls, will shortly be available through S. C. FTeckbert, formerly of the V.S.A. staff and now Secretary of Vermilion Agricultural Society. sen KEA1AIETH MDOA ' ALD SQAS Sstab ished 18 6 Seeds Plants Pules Seedsmen Sefarse ymen Parcel Sq„ OTTAWA, Canada.
