FARM TRAINING PLAN POSSIBILITY STROM Serious consideration will have to be given to a farm apprenticeship program and unemployment insurance and workmen's compensation for agricultural workers, provincial Minister of Agriculture Harry Strom told 300 at a farm field day at Airdrie Wednesday.

The minister said farmers today face difficulty in hiring qualified men to operate farm machinery and added farming Is "big business today and managing a farm is a job in itself." He stressed unemployment insurance and workmen's compensation are necessary, if farmers are to obtain the qualified men they need. He said farmers must place more emphasis on quality farming, not just quantity. "Quantity farming is a thing of the past. Success today, and in the future, will depend on the quality of an operation," he said. Ottawa Decision Banff Administrator John W.

Allan Watson explained the rape seed was to be killed shortly after germination. "But when it came up so well with the oats we decided to let both crops grow." There will be little problem in harvesting both crops, Mr. Watson said, except that the rape seed will ripen before the oats. Following harvest, a grain cleaner will separata rape seed from oats. The guests were also given a look at an unusual herd of cattle formerly owned by federal Minister of Agriculture Harry Hays.

Mr. Watson explained the cattle were a cross between Hereford cows and Holstein bulls, and have characteristics of each breed. Both Mayor MacEwan and Mr. Strom praised the effort of Mr. Watson for his development of "one of the finest farms in Alberta." Mr.

Watson, whose father was a pioneer in the Airdrie district, is a registered seed grower and has approximately 6,000 acres of crop land on two ranches, the one at Airdrie, the second near Sarcee. He won the Master Farm Family award in 1951. mitted to the bar recently by Mr. Justice Harold W. Riley.
