Show detail Hide detail

Film shows events and activities organized by the Ontario Department of Agriculture, including rural school fairs, boys' and girls' club work, short courses in agriculture and home economics, Junior Farmer Associations and Junior Institutes. At rural school fairs, students display projects worked on at both home and school, including garden crops, needlepoint, and woodworking. Children are shown tending home garden plots, caring for livestock, and eventually bringing the products of their hard work to the school fair. Other activities at the fairs include sports, choral and speaking competitions and "Strathcona exercises." Many shots show crowds of children and adults milling around, listening to lectures and viewing the exhibits. In the boys' and girls' clubs, children receive training in agriculture and other aspects of farm life, including raising livestock, tending crops, and canning vegetables; club members "learn by doing." In the short courses in Agriculture and Home Economics young men are trained in practical farm operations, and young women practice first aid, cooking and sewing; aspects of both courses are shown. Junior Farmer Associations and Junior Institutes continue the training started in the short courses; shots depict a County Live Stock Judging Competition where young men and women show cows, pigs, horses and sheep. Activities at a County Field Day are also shown, including close-ups of female students competing in the high jump and male student high jumping, long view of boy throwing a discus as spectators watch the event and parked autos are shown in the background. Medium shot of girls playing baseball. Medium shot of men throwing horse shoes. Extreme close-up of horse shoe hitting pegs on the ground. Medium shot of individual and inter-county judging competition for junior farmers at an exhibition. Judges and other farmers look at cows and hogs in the competition. Close-up of a farmer inside a sheep pen looking at sheep. Close-ups of piglets feeding from their mother in a pen. Close-up of a little boy holding a poster which reads "Barrie Junior Farmer". Extreme close-up of man brushing a sheep. Pan to a group of spectators. Long view of farmers parading their cows around the arena. Long view of farmers with their ponies in the arena, waiting for the judging. Medium shot of a judge at work, inspecting five cows standing in a line. Close-up of young boys and girls lined up with their lambs, waiting for the judging. Medium shot of a young farmer among a large herd of grazing cattle and he is joined by another man. Medium shot of a woman feeding chickens near a house. An intertitle near the end of the film reads: "Junior Training Brings Results." This is followed by extreme close-up shots of a successful young farmer with his wife and baby. <40mn>
