NICKEL .COMNIISSIONS REPORT
Province Can Compete Sueceeefully a~e
4,. Nickel Producer
The report of the Royal Nickel Com.
i tenor. appointed by tbs.) Optario
tiuvernmene in Septet/thee 1016, tier
peen presented to the Legislature. On
all pointe the reports fulfii,;the. expect-
Athena of Hon. 0 U. p'ergysout Minis-
ter of Lando, Forests and Miner, that
it would be the last word on tbe wetel-
lurgy of nickel relining' ip Opterio.
The report potato out that the two
queations have been uppermost in
numerous discussions that have taken
place concerning the nickel indtaatry
durieg the Iasi, twenty-five year~.
T.Lw Miert, eau nickel be economically
refined ih Ontario, dud eeei,nd, are
nickel depoette of. Ontario of suet% a
character that Ole Province can com-
pete successfully ae a nickel producer
with anyother country P
To both these questions the Commis-
sion answers yea, "The nickel orede-
posits of Ontario are ranch more erten.
sive and offer better facilities for the'
production of nickel at it low cost than
do those of any other country,” says
the report. ,Any of tbe praceesee now
in use for relining nickel could be
successfully worked in Ontario and
e- uditfans and faeilitiee are at least
here as in any other part of Canada.
The more eatiefactory method of re.
fining in Ontario will be electrolytic.
The refining of nickel in, Ontario will
not only benefit • the industry locally
hut promote the chemical and metal.
lurgicai industries and lead to their
growth. The methods employed by
the two large operating companies in
Qntario are - modern and eisoient.
Both have past the experimental,
stage without receiving any Govern•
went assistance and have earned the
success wbieh they have achieved.
On the importautquestion of mining
taxation the report is meet explicit.
After an inveetlgation into the meth.
ode of taxation in practice in other
countries where mining operations
are carried on eetteneively the commie•
elan finds ter ,,'"the present system
of mining ti dation in Ontario is just
and equitable and in the public inter-
est, and is the beat system for -this
province. Any question of change is
rather one of rate than of principle "
the tax in Ontario is based upon the
net profits of the mine attd this the
Commission recommend • should not
be higher than 5%. Although the re-
port makes certain recommendations
the BIli to carry these reeommenda.
tions into effect at the thne of writing
thie Ietter, has not been introduced to
'the House. It is understood however
that the Government will probably
accept the recommendations of the
Commission which as has been point.
ed out approves of the present barite
of taxation on net profits hut thinks
that the rate should be higher and.
on a progressive scale. the rate of tax
increasing as the profit grows. If the
recommendaticene of the Commission
are entirely adopted by the Govern-
ment it will mean that Ontario will
secure a revenue from this source on
the basis of fast year'e operations of
about 52,000.000.
This is what was anticipated by the
Minister when the Commission was
appointed but rather than deal with
the -question in , a piecemeal fashion,
time haw been taken to consider the
question from every angle and reach
a decision which wiil be permanent
and satisfying.
The report le a lengthy document of
some five hundred pages with an ap.
I pendia.. It le perhaps the mostex-
haustive study of the nickel industry
"'that has yet beenmade and will prove.,
an important contribution to the liter.
stare on the subject. As a result of
the enterprise of Mr. Ferguson, two
refining plants in Ontario have already
been assured. one by the International
Nicker Company of Port Coburn,.
another by theBrilieh America NIek.
el Company at Sudbury. To facilitate
the operation of these plants an exten-
sive development of electrical energy .
will be� required, while the effect of
having these induetriee in our midst
apart from patriotic advantageee Ira.
portant industries of minor ohuracter
will spring up from time to time re•
gniriug a large investment of capital
and the employment of teeny hundreds
of hands. •
The public le not interested in the
technical aspect of thereport but it tet
only fair to the Coinmief,iou to say
that they have brought to the die -
Marge of their duties a dsvision to
the general welfare of the Province.

Answer -4 large part of the im-

on a medium loans to light loam ;milt
end where good preparation of coli is
combined with the UN of good seed,
the bean growers are getting splendid
results,
In the Michigan section it ie a
common practice to supplement the
natural fortuity the tel with from
200 to 300 ler. ofof fertilizer carrying
about 2 p, ammonia, 8 p. a. phosphoric
acid and about.1 p, o. to 2 p. a. potash.

twice as• far,
tuestion e --Can you, recommend •
fertilizer for flees—A. T.
Answer --Aa the feeding of flax is
much the game ae the feeding of wheat
1 would recommend applying about
800 lbs. per acre of a fertilizer carrying
from 2 to 9 p. c. ammonia, 8 to 12 p. c.
available phosphoric acid and 1 to 2 p.
c. potash if it is obtainable. This
should bo drilled in at the time the flax
seed ie sown. -
Question 7--1s It possible to treat
turnip Beed eo that lice will not bother
them—J. A. B.
Answer—I have not been able to
locate any definite information that
would indicate that the treating of
turnip seed will have any control over
the lice which so frequently attack the
crops. The beet thing that can be
done le to use protective methods such
ae keeping out weeds of the turnip
family, such as wild mustard, and
being sure to d;ostroy all refuse, Ieaves
of turnips and etumpe of cabbage or
such like that might otherwise remain
in the ground over winter, On these
the lice thrive and deposit their eggs.
Turnip growers have found that the
use of fertilizer .renders the ground
unfriendly as a home for the turnip
lice. It would be well for turnip grow•
ere to bear thio in mind in planting
their turnip fields and to use from 200
to 300 lbs. per acre of fertilizers, which
will not only help deter the insect poet,
but will add available plantfood for
the growing crop.
Question 8—Would it be a paying
proposition to mix Commercial Ferti-
lizers and Basic Slag? --R. D. East
Wawanoab,
Answer --r would strongly .advise
against the mixing of commeroial
fertilizer and basic slag. 'I1 you are
using both of these' substances, apply
separately. otherwise the free lime
which may compose upwardsof50 p. e.
of the basic slag will tend to act on
the available phosphoric acid of the
fertilizer. throwing it back Into a form
in which itis very slowly available;
or in other worde, ba.io slag would
tend to render one of the available
part* of the fertilizer relatively insol-
uble. Therefore, do not mix basic slag
and commercial fertilIzers.. •
