60 A L B E R T A WOMEN'S INSTITUTES
Once a month I send items to the Family Herald and Weekly Star, at
Montreal. And once a month to Mrs. Price for the Federated " Home and
Country"; sometimes Mrs. Price sends me an SOS for some certain number,
which I answer to the best of my ability.
I am pleased to do this work and I trust that each Secretary will cooperate
with me in trying to have up- to- the- minute news and send in meeting
reports right away. It is stale if it's a week old. So please hurry!
There is another matter quite important: Please put three cents on
the reports. Many times, when sent for one cent, we have to pay double
postage and sometimes there is a personal message which should never be
sent for one cent.
The editor of the Lethbridge Herald told me that through my write- ups
they had received some 20 new subscriptions recently. That helps to make
our work worthwhile.
REPORT ON AGRICULTURE AND CANADIAN INDUSTRIES
Mrs. C. H. Stout, Calgary, Convener.
Madame President and Members:
In bringing you this, my last report, I wish to express my thanks to all
who have co- operated with me by sending in their Branch reports. And I
am happy to say that the number who have reported indicates the increasing
interest in these two important fields. More than 60 Branches have devoted
time to papers on Agriculture and 25 have studied phases of Canadian Industries.
In this time of national emergency, the vital importance of production
from our farms and factories cannot be over- estimated. Canada and the
Empire are calling for war supply, and Canadian agriculture and industry
must meet the call.
It is a time when everyone should keep well- informed on latest developments
in the fields of agriculture and industries; it is such an important and
interesting subject there seems to be no limit to what can be done.
During a period last winter, I was obliged to send requests for papers
or information on to Mrs. Montgomery. I owe her thanks for looking after
them for me.
Agriculture is the foremost industry of Alberta, and one of the basic
industries of the Dominion. Rapid advancement has been made in all phases
of agriculture during recent years.
Machinery has brought the greatest change in farm life. In the past
quarter- century it has relieved the farmer of most of the back- breaking
labor of his profession— and has at the same time brought about increased
production and more efficient production.
And the increased use of combines at harvest time has also relieved
many farm wives of one of hfer biggest jobs— cooking for threshers. And
that, I've no doubt all farm women would say, is the greatest advance of
modern times from the woman's standpoint.
