Ten young Alberta farmers left the Edmonton International Airport recently to spend a year in Japan under the Hokkaido-Alberta Agricultural Exchange Program. While in Japan they will be living with host families on farms in Hokkaido where they will learn Japanese farming methods and about the cultural life of that country. This year most of the exchangees come from five different types of farms — dairy, horse, potato, beef and hog — in the Edmonton area. Since Alberta Agriculture pays their air fares, cost is not a factor in this program. And according to the coordinator of the program, Spence Goddard, the benefits to young people from such a working and learning experience are fantastic. He says there will be opportunity for another 10 to 15 adventurous young Albertans to go to Japan next year, and that application forms can be obtained any time from all district agriculturists. - 30- (403) 477-? 127 AGRICULTURE Communications Division.
