74 A L B E R T A WOMEN'S INSTITUTES
OUTLINE FOR STANDING COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE AND
CANADIAN INDUSTRIES, 1939- 1941
1. There has been a great deal of good work in Agriculture done by the
Institutes, but many people do not realize how much valuable help is offered
by both the Dominion and Provincial Governments, and how much money is
spent by them to make these services free to all. Therefore I urge the
Institutes to pass on this information and to make use of these free services.
2. Every home would be more comfortable and satisfying if it had a
good windbreak. This makes it possible to grow better gardens besides many
kinds of fruits that would not live in this country without shelter. Free
Trees and Cuttings can be obtained from the Dominion Forestry Station,
address Norman Ross, Indian Head, Sask. Small Fir Trees besides other
trees are obtainable from the Provincial Farm, Oliver, Alberta.
3. The University does a great deal of experimental work in fruit and
flowers and are very kind in taking visitors to see these. All who can, should
take advantage of this and see what can be grown in Alberta, and try to
grow them for themselves.
4. The University also holds a Feeders' Day, the date of which is
announced in the newspapers. Urge your men folks to attend and take
you with them.
5. The Dominion Experimental Farm at Lacombe holds several days
every summer when they invite the public to come— a Hog Day, a Cattle
Day, a Visitors' Day, and a Grain and Grasses Day. It would pay for your
members to attend these days and discuss the visit at a following meeting.
6. There are pamphlets prepared by the Dominion Government on
Insect Pests and Their Control, also on Weeds, that would make material for
papers and prove helpful.
7. IN C A N A D I A N INDUSTRIES, study the subject of Domestic Shortening
as affected by the import of vegetable oils. Material for this can be
obtained from the Pool Creameries.
8. Many papers could be prepared on our mining industry, gold, tar
sand, radium, gasoline products and coal, besides many other smaller in-
