Scottish Young Farmers Clubs Promote Knowledge and Citizenship
The Scottish Association of Young Farmers' Clubs unites rural youths aged 14 to 26 to learn about farming and local government while competing in county Achievement Days. The movement, open to urban participants, includes exchanges with Ontario and numbers 164 clubs nationwide. At the Royal Highland Show in Inverness 1922, Scottish breeds dominated with notable Ayrshire, Aberdeen Angus, Highland, and Galloway entries. Lord Lovat's Beauford Commodore won best bull, and Shorthorns impressed judges including Wilbur Donaldson of Peterborough. The show drew visitors from 36 countries and featured traditional dances and piping. Alberta ranks third in mineral production behind Ontario and Quebec.
