Visiting Scot Duncan of the Scottish Young Farmers' Club toured five Ontario counties urging restrictions on urban expansion to protect farmland. He urged building up rather than spreading out and noted farms sold for land value suffer neglect, with two-week stays in Hatton and Hastings counties. He contrasted high farm equipment costs and labor shortages in Ontario with Scotland, and plans to report back with observations from Canadian farming.
