In 1898, the Ontario Agrioultaral
College imported eleven varletiee of
Winter wheat from Ifanaae, four From
Indiana, one from Town, six from 011ie,
etc. The Turkish or Turkey Red, re.

sowed both the Oanediau and the

OM year, The results from the two
crops in 1897 were slightly in favor of
the Canadian grown seed but were almost
'fdentioal, there being is difference of
less than one peak in the yield of grain
per sore.
The annual report of the Ontario
Agrieultnral College for 1898 gives the
average of five years' results of tests
with each of forty-eight varieties in
strength of strew, weight of grain per
"nseasured bushel end yield of grain per
more. It also gives the oomparative
hardness of the grain of each variety as
determined with an apparatus similar
to one invented by Prof. Al. A. Cobb, of
Australia. The tabulated results are
followed by s report of about 1,000 words,
speoially dealing with the relative hard-
ness of the grain of the varieties there.

any one variety of Winter wheat for
Ontario, the College publishes from
time to time the exact results of practical

The report oloees with the following re-
marke :—"The varieties wbioh the farm -
ere are likely to grow are those which
they can neually harvest with the least
amount of labor, and that will prodnoe
the greatest final -total returns for their
time and labor in growing the crop.
The requirements of the market, how-
ever, should be closely watched, and the
aim should be tog row those varieties

printed by the Ontario Department of
Agrioniture, Toronto, Ont., and are die.
tributed from there to all who apply for
them. In the Winter of 1898 9, from 85
to 90 per cent of both the Daweon's Gold
Chaff and the Turkey Red varieties,
were Winter killed. Both varieties

The College Report for 1898 states
that the grain of the Turkey Red was
harder than that of any other variety in
the crop of 1896 and that the grain of the
Turkey Red and the Pride of Genesee
was the hardest of the varieties mention-
ed for 1898. The Dawson's Golden Chaff

Men of long experience in handling

wheat for milling purposes. These were
the Dawson's Goldeo Chaff and the

the College this year. The judgments
were made separately and resulted in
three of the millers selecting the Dawson's
Golden Chaff as the beat and theth

It will be Been from the foregoing re-
ports that the results obtained from
growing the Turkey Red variety of wheat
in Waterloo County and 'et the Ontario
Agrionlbural College are very similar.
We have found from our experimeutal
work with Winter wheat that very fre-
quently the season hag a much greater
ieiiueooe than the variety in determining
the quality of the grain. For instance
the weight per measured bsehel of the
Turkey Rod was 64.5 Ibe. in 1898 and 55,1
lbs, in 1897 and that of the Dawson's
Golden Chaff snag 01.43 lbs. in 1898 and
58.5 lbs. in 1897. It will be remembered
lhsb in 1897 there was an exceptionally
web barveet and that a large amount of
wheat throughout Coterie) was sprouted
that year. 1 noderstand that there was
an export trade from Ontario of flour
from wheat 'grown in 1897 and this might
have something to do with the reputation
of our flour in the foreign market.
Within the past ten years, a good many
varieties of Winter wheat have been dis-
tributed to farmers throughout Ontario
who applied for them for testing upon
their own farms. Great care has been
taken in the selection of the varieties for
distribution and some kinds, snob as the
Jones' Wioter Fife, Bulgarian or Demo-
crat, Pride of Genesee, Diamond Grit,
etc. baowingto vs been sent out win their
quality y r 8th
ar than their yield of grain,
Farmer° have found, however, that all
varieties would sell for about the same
price per bushel and therefore have grown
those kind from whioh they could seonre
the greatest profit, hence the great popu-
larity of the Dawson's Golden Chaff with
the farmers of Ontario. The varieties to
be distributed thia year have again been
oarefull eels
o d and two sets will t be
sent free by mail to farmers applying for
them who will carefully test the three
kinds in each set which they °hoose and
will report the results after harvest next
year. The steed will be sent out in the
order in which the applications are re-
oeivedas long as the supply leets :
Set 1—Dawson's Golden Chaff, Early
Genesee Giant, Stewart's Champion Red.
Set 2—Dawson's Golden Chaff, Turkey
Red, Diamond Grit.
Eaoh person wishing one of these sets
should apply as early as possible, men•
Honing whioh set he desires ; and the
grain with instructions for testing, and
the blank form on wbioh to report, will
be furnished free of Dost to his addreee,
until the supply of grain for distribution
is exhausted.
Much additional information regarding
the value of the Turkey Red Winter
wheat for Ontario will undoubtedly be
securedthis year. Not only will it be
tested in the comparative experiments
througbontthe Province but ae several
millers are importing seed from Kansas
an opportunity will be afforded the
farmers of Western Ontario to grow it in
large quantities and the millers eau then
grind the variety by itself and thus be
better enabled to determine its value for
both the home and the foreign trade.
The results will be watobed with interest
by both the millers and the farmers.

Victoria, to the following questions :—
(1) The general tendency—whether to•
ward increase or redaction of debts.
(2) The purposes for wbioh new debts
are being inourred.
(8) The relative position of the debtor
OWN as compared with five and ten
years ago.
IN 1505508.
(1) The mortgage fndebteduess in this
county is decreasing, especially on farm
property. On comparing the returns far
the years 1895 end 1899 I find that the
following registrations were made :-
1895,
Deeds, 1,257 t mortgages, 1,140 ; die.
chargee of mortgagee, 987.
1899.
Deeds, 1,858 ; mortgagee, 1,045 ;
ohargee of mortgagee, 1,185.
This shows that the sales or transfers
of property are increasing, fewer wort•
gages are made and more mortgagee are
being discharged. There is, also a mark•
ed decrease in foreclosure proceedings,
conveyances, eto , under powers of sale
in mortgagee.
(2) It is somewhat difficult to state the
purposes for which new debts are being
incurred, bat the evidenoes are very
strong that a great number of the new
mortgagee are not new debts but are
given in order to get money at from 4e, to
5} per cent. to pay off old mortgagee
which are bearing0 or 7 per cent. It ie
an unusual thing to see a property, par.
tioularly a farm property, being wort•
gaged onleee it is &banging kande or a
being released. It is a
prior mortgage to e g d
common thing to have a mortgagee call
and ask to see the conditions as to re•
payment of his mortgage, with the re-
mark, "I want to pay ib as e000 as I
can • an et mons cheaper."

is most interesting, and is beautifully fitted
