S E V E N T E E N T H A N N U A L C O N V E N T I ON 57
Before closing, I would like to pass on t h e thought expressed by one
woman in her report. She s a y s : " I live on a farm and enjoy my garden for
it's economic value and for it's mental and s p i r i t u a l value, and from the viewpoint
of it's beauty. The disappointing years have only made the urge greater
and stimulated us to put forth greater efforts rather than be discouraged."
T h i s is the soirit we want to go forth into the new year w i t h . Elbert H u b b a rd
once said, " The line between success and failure is so n a r r ow that one is often
standing on one side when he thinks he is on the other." Let us then be
determined to go on and succeed.
Present conditions have made people realize that agriculture truly is our
basic industry and when this industry suffers, it is not long until the whole
social and economic structure is affected. Many city dwellers have not
r e a l i z e d this before. It is fortunate we have such an organization as the
Women's Institutes with it's membership composed of both urban and rural
women w o r k i n g together to solve each other's problems and thus creating a
more k i n d l y fellow- ship and a higher type of citizenship.
W e r e it possible to write a full history of the Province of A l b e r t a , I am
convinced that there would be no other organization that would have to it's
credit such wonderful achievements in the building up of better homes and
i n improved social conditions.

A g r i c u l t u r e at its best is a home m a k i n g proposition and those who enter
it for other purposes meet with l i t t l e success; our program must necessarily
for this year, deal with rural home making. In this connection we would
continue in our aim to make A l b e r t a Beautiful.
- E a r l y spring meetings given over to round table discussions on gardening
methods, varieties of seeds, etc., are helpful. It is often profitable to have an
exchange of plants, seeds, etc., the same day.
The local A g r i c u l t u r a l Schools and Dominion Experimental Stations are
w i l l i n g to co- operate with the different organizations and w i l l give you what
assistance they can. I w o u l d therefore suggest that at least one meeting be
arranged with help f r om these schools or with a speaker from one of them.
Constituency Conveners can do much to assist those localities where there
is a failure in garden produce by putting them in touch with other Institutes
where there may be an over supply. We must endeavor to do a l l in our power
to help those who are less fortunate than we may be.
A n y information I can give you w i l l be gladly done if y o u write me.
