Farmer clubs must be of value in districts where they are organized. Surely one would be very advantageous in this district. Agriculture, as a whole, cannot be improved without our help. Our help is necessary as much as in the next district, or the one beyond, even to the remotest. The contribution of each individual to the progress of any enterprise is important. Only when this fact becomes prevalent is the greatest progress going to be made in _ agriculture; or when we have the support and help of the greatest number. We will not attain this objective over night. At the present time Canada is at war and we are not sure how long it is going to last. And even when it is settled there will be many adjustments to be made and many problems that will call for solution. Nevertheless we can not afford to let this condition hinder our attempts towards _ progress in our own sphere. From some of the lectures we have heard several reasons why it is imperative that we do something about certain conditions already common in our farm relations. one " these cases is the necessity of more reforestation and maintaining and increasing the forestry we have.

Another condition calling for vsolution is the proper care of? the land,'or some territories, in time, will become desert. ,» In summing up , then, we see that we need to be paying attention to these conditions; we need to realize that We have a share in improv- _ ing these conditions and agriculture as a whole. May it be the resolve of each member of the short course to do all in his or her _ power to advance the cause of agriculture., To give our best and in so doing making this a better world in which to live. .
