With time on my hands and a wealth of older books available, I picked up “Farming in Canada”, written by Honorable Duncan Marshall, D. of Agriculture, and sponsored and published by the Cockshutt Plow Company. The book is a detailed description of farming, from selecting land, choosing the yard site, planning a garden and a wide variety of livestock helps. It was written for the purpose of assisting Returned Veterans from World War II in the settlement on the land. The title drew my attention, for in the last few weeks, I have met individuals who began their farming career through this program.

The Neepawa Library
Summer was busy at the Neepawa Library, where we celebrated all things Canada, in honour of our country’s sesquicentennial. Young readers borrowed many, many books and read many, many pages! They will have a definite advantage starting school this fall, as their eager brains are still primed from all the reading they did this summer. Congratulations to everyone who participated in our Summer Reading Program! And a big thank you also goes out to our talented and enthusiastic summer student, Vicky Elgert, who led the program activities and kept all the readers coming back for more.
