Representatives were present from the following societies: Sea- 1 forfth. Goderich. Brucefield.. .Kippen ana Exeter. The Clintan citizens Horticultural Society, while not- at. present under the auspices of the Department, were represented at the meeting. Mr. George S. Folster of Owen Sound, who is Secretary for the Dis­ trict Association, acted as chairman, and both J. A. Carroll, director of Agricultural and Horticultural Soc­ ieties. and Mr. ^John F? Clark of the Department of Agriculture, were in attendance. . Both speakers invited questions and1 those in attendance, took'quite an active part in the dis­ cussion. Mr. Clark emphasized the importance of juvenile, work with boys and girls in public and high schools and expressed the opinion that many Societies " were more or less neglecting this phase of the work. He stated that the improve­ ment and planting of school grounds was an excellent means of interest­ ing boys and girls in Horticulture. Several members mentioned, that the importance of premiums was. in many. caSes, over emphasized and that too many Societies were prone to forget the idea that theHorticuI- tural Society should be of service to the community. Other members poin­ ted out that it would be very diffi- ult to secure new members unless the Society featured a substantial premium list. . Before adjournment a hearty vote of thanks was extended to Mr. Car­ roll and Mr. Clark and those present expressed the opinion that a County meeting next year would attract a much larger attendance.'

The -SoeiaL-Griedit--subamendment~was^ de­ feated by 198 to 16. All groups vot­ ed against same with the exception of Miss Agnes Mac ph ail who refused* to vote/The amendment of the C. C. F. was also defeated.., the registered vote being 260 tc^.8. 'AU parties vot­ ed against this amendment with the exception of Miss Macphail. who’ vot- ed ,with the C. C; F. group. I might shy in passing that in my opinion the amendment and the sub-aniend- m^nt contained, no constructive sug­ gestions whatever. ‘ , A new resolution was placed on the Order Paper by the Minister of Jus-/ tice in regard to amending the Bri­ tish North America Act. This amen-: dment is in the form of an address to the British. Parliament1, asking that the provinces in the past two or three years required money , for purposes not heretofore in their bud-- get~and have been taxing the people indirectly, thereby Contravening the rights of the, Dominion Parliament. It is the desire oi\the Government that the provinces l>e granted . the legal right to do this. Under the British North America Act the pror vinees have the0 right of direct taxa­ tion only. A direct tax means a tax paid directly by the consumer to the •hrovince. Indirect taxation means* the payment of;a tax by a party who has the /right of “ reimbursing himself from some other .source, as for instance thb, gasoline tax. The other part of the Resolution pertains to an amendment to the B.N.A. Act whereby the Dominion may loan money to the provinces rer ceiving from them certain guaran­ tees of repayment and also that the Dominion may impose certain condi­ tions on the borrowers. For instance the setting up of a Loan. Council. There is no doubt that the Domiiiion has loaned large sums of. money to the different provinces, but apparent­ ly since certain decisions have beeii-l----- "zh^en/ lTWas^illegal for the’ Dominion to do so. In, qther words . it would be non-collectible. The Provinces have agreed to these amendments. ' There .are othqr amendments to be made to this Act but we are inform­ ed by. the Financd Minister that the "Bi'dvinciar Governments, together with the Dominion Government have not yet reached a decision. The mat­ ter is. how,ever,. being very carefully, studied and no doubt will be agreed upon in the near future. . \ .The Leader .of the Social Credit group.- for the first time in the his­ tory of',our country,, made a charge' that Wall, Street was governing our banking institutions. He was asked to substantiate his charges by nam­ ing the parties, bjit refused to do so stating, he would take no responsi* bility in the matter. In order to pte­ vent international complications be­ tween the two countries the Speaker demanded that the wqrds be stricken from the records. This, of course, is a sample of the irresponsible char­ ges made where their effects would be very far-reaching. As far as I was concerned, per­ sonally. the High Light of the week was the visit of the Agricultural Committee to the Central Experi­ mental Farm on Wednesday last. I found this visit one of the most in­ teresting things I have done since coming to Ottawa. This Farm is like a laboratory in that every portion of it has1 some experiment being carried on. For instance, one thing which I found very interesting is the experiment which has been con­ ducted for “the past five years in re- Jation to fertilizers., There' was a plot with no fertilizer where small crops rotated each year; a plot where commercial fertilizer only, was used; a plot where manure and commercial fertilizer mixed was used: and a, plot where manure only was used. The head of this Depart­ ment made a very definite statement to the effect that the plot where all manure xvas used as a fertilizer had by far thb best results. However^ no reflection on commercial. fertili­ zers was intended as . they are use­ ful in their own . place. The next experiment was in the piggery. The farm has about 50 brood sows and two. years ago im­ ported several sows from Sweden of the Landrace variety. It’ is claim­ ed that this strain has a more bal­ anced quality lor purposes of export bacon, although the experiment has hot been going on long enough to make a definite statement. However. I noticed on my own account that the litters of the Swedish strain av­ eraged 5 while the litters of our own Yorkshires averaged 9, so I think that, what the Yorkshire mav lack in balanced bacon produced is made up in, other profit to the farm- erse~—1 . ...................... ' .This Experimental farm is well worthwhile a visit should anyone be in the vicinity of Ottawa and no far­ mer should, hesitate to write to the :Fa.rin for information on any agri­ cultural subject.. Our visit did not allow us any time for the botanical section of . the Faifti but we hope to have this pleasure at another time.
