Young students from Manitoba and beyond travel to the Manitoba Agricultural College for winter courses opening October 13 or 27. The program offers short and long options in beekeeping, engineering, dairying, poultry marketing, livestock and forage, with a strong emphasis on residence life and cross‑provincial student ties.
The article notes many farmers secured help for the year, a more common practice than before. It mentions wages and other benefits as factors, claiming farmers gain a financial advantage from this arrangement.
An order-in-council moved the Manitoba prairie open chicken season to run until the 18th, not 22nd, reducing the bag limit to 25. A clerical error caused a temporary rise to 68. The act will be amended in the next session to restore the limit, while interim steps protect undetected birds.
A Vancouver express passenger from Expanse Sask to MacGregor died on board after being found in critical condition. He was about 40, survived by wife and one son. The body was sent to Winnipeg per coroner instructions, with a letter suggesting self harm. His wife was to be notified regarding an automobile at a Moose Jaw garage. He was a respected farmer and former district telephone chief and Elevator service head at Glenside.
Many young men who came to Canada from Great Britain and Europe for farm work may quit this fall to seek other labor. They are urged to stay with current farm employment or arrange engagements with nearby farmers. There is little work likely to open that would lure them away, and moving around could waste savings on unstable seeding jobs.
