The Agricultural Deveiopment Fin- ance Act empowers the Treasurer of Ontario to borrow money by meant of deposits in order to finance either of the above Acts. This measure, however does not conte into effect until proclaim ed by the Lieutenant Governor in Coun cfi, and if other arrangements are made for tife money necessary under the pre- vious,cct it is riot probable that this Act will conte Into effect, The Dairy Standards Act Was amend ed in two important points among oth- ers, One amendment provided that the Act instead of coining into effect at a date to be fixed by the Lieutenant Gov.- ernor in 'Council shall conte into effect on January 1st, 1922. Another change empowers the Minister to appoint in- spectors to carry out the prftvlsions of the Act and such inspectors'are to have access to alt factories anti rwcords so Continued on Pago 1, �i dation for incidental expenses, Pro- vision' is made in the Act by which the moneymaybe secured from banks or ! 1 front other sources, and it is under- stood'' that definite instructions ori this point will be given'. to any Association when the machinery of the Act is put into operation. The Agricultural Development Act provides for long term loans on first mortgage security. This Act provides for the appointment of ah Agricultural Devei'opinetit Board, which is empow- ered to issue bonds up to'It500,0o0 on the guarantee of the ,Province, and after that to issue debentures, also guaranteed by tine Province but on the security of the mortgages taken. No rate of interest is fixed, but it is ex- pected the`' rate will be the rate at which the Province can secure money phis one par cent. for the cost of operatibn. Loans may be made up to Sixty-five .per cent. Of the value Of the 'security and are repayable On the amort Mahon plan over a period of twenty years, the borrower having the pri, vilege of paying any amount desired al any payment date.
