W. CALGARY M3455 VULCAN Uni month 1: The warning which I bring to this young continent of North America 1s to conserve our nat- ural resources, and to start now. This was the message of Dr. O. M. McConkey, professor of Field Husbandry at the Ontarlo Agri- cultural College, in addressing an audience at High River on May 14. Dr, McConkey has recently returned from two years in re- habilitation work in China, where he was advisor to the and Forestry. He served as a colonel in the last war, and im- mediately following the war was loaned by Canada for rehabili- tation work in Europe, and transferred from those duties to the F.AO. of United Nations in China. He:has been on a speak- ing tour of Canada under aus- Pices of the Canadian Club, and has been a visitor with his bro- ther and sister in High River. His week-end visit here provided an opportunity for High River and Cayley people to hear him speak. Rev. I. J. Kemlo of the United Chirch offered the hour of the evening service for Dr. McConkey s talk, and in intro- ducing the speaker Mr. Kemlo said that the rehabilitation work which Dr. McConkey and others had been carrying on in Europe and China could certainly be classified as practical Christian- ity, and a fitting subject for a Sunday evening address. Dr. McConkey s subject was the destruction of soil covers and forests the world over, and man himself has been the most de- structive factor in upsetting the balance of nature. To empha- size. this. grim destruction there were-fiims- shown of erosion in China, and a further film entitl- ed the Rape of the Earth was J. Arthur Rank production. IN MANCHURIA Dr: McConkey was thirteen months in Manchuria which has been called the Canada of the East . It is a magnificent plains country, very productive, and the Japanese he said did a fine job there of applied science. Railroads compare well with the GPR. Cities a e clean, the in- dustrial areas landscaped, with many experimental stations in- ereasing production. The Japs are clever rascals he added but their trouble is that they do not respect human rights. He was greatly pleased with accom- plishment in China, and the fine pattern of trained people with whom he worked. Before Com- munism swept the country he sald, I felt we could do as much ina year over. there as in ten years over-here. We had money and. airgpeed in movement of things we needed, The improve- ments which we were able to ef- fect in better seeds and stock and in other ways, brought quick results and were vitalizing to our. workers. He offered little comment on the present scene and the Rus- sian consolidation of that great country, except to. say that the Chinese are a jwise people, 85 of them on the land. They'll take what they want of the new lde ology and leave the rest. Japan, he said, showed well balanced husbandry of forest cover and well terided fields where erosion control measures have been taken, The Japanese have almost doubled agricultur- l production in the last sixty Down with E Up with the Galvanized Copper Painted ALSO IN STOCK SCREEN DOOR Gonna Wind Screens Screening To renew your doors and windows is now in stock.

The maintenance of 3 trash cover, besides adding certain amount of fertility to the soil, offers. the following additional advantages: (1) -A trash cover prevents, to a large extent, the pounding action of falling raindrops, thus preventing, the formation-of a: shanty roof. (2) It forms'a mechanical barrier multitude of small dams in the field which slows down the flow of water, thus giving it: more time to soak into the ground. (3) The numerous pieces of stubble, ete. anchored in the soil surface, provide channels through which water can percolate into the ground.
