After a careful survey of the seed
situa'tior for the spring of 1908, the
Department finds that there are•su'flfi-
cient oats and baniley in the province
to look after the seed req'uirenaents.
This is dependent on every 'farmer
taking immediate steps to have the
best of his grain cleaned ;and set aside
for his seed. Many appear to think
that 'because their grain this year is off
color and a little under standard in
weight that it will not snake suitable
seed, but tests already made show
that when this off -colored and under-
weight grain has 'been thoroughly
cleaned uta to a 510 per cent cut in
some instances, good seed was secur-
ed which germinated as high as 90
per cent. Lf this work is done now the
cleaned out grain can be used for
feed. - - -
By following oat same snch policy
there will be no great shortage of
aced next spring, •3'i'any fanners have
a fanning mill of some description.
which with a little repair and an extra
screen or twos will clean grains. The
correct screens, of course, are import-
ant, and should any farmer be in
doubt, the Department will the glad to
furnish this information on request.
Where farmers dive within driving and
trucking distance •af power cleaning
Plants that have scourers and carter
disc machines, it will pay then to
have their cleaning done at one of
these plants. -
!What is most important is that the
farmers start now so that the clean-
ing and 'germinating can be done prop-
erly, and -not leave it until a spring
rush develops. 'Germination tests wild
indicate the suitability of seed.

positive enactment of the Statute of
the' Imperial;Parliament 'of the United
'Kingdom, under which this House is
constituted and assembled, that the
place or places within any part of the
}Province of Canada, for holding each
and every session of the Legislative
Council and 'Assenslbiy, should be 'fixed
under the 'authority of the'Crownt."
In t'lie ,alt. cuss ions at tha t time, the
mute or 'Bytown was !brought up and
voted upon in the !Parliament of 'Livia -
ed Canada with the result that six
members were in. favor of the site, and
fifty -sever against it.
'On the'?l8th of'N'oventber, '08414, 'Go-
vernment was established in :Mont-
real, and during .four years the city
had the honor of being Canada's capi-
tal. The lesion of !1849 is memorable
in Canadian annals. \\f'hen Parliament
met on the;118th of January one of the
first measures .introduced was a 'bill
granting a general amnesty for those
engaged in the Rebellion of 1637-318.
It encoiiutered no serious opposition,
but when the famous Rebellion Loss-
es till same up, it was a different mat-
ter.
The bill met with furious opposition
principally from Upper Canadian 'Con-
servttite..a. It provided that none of
those who bad been convicted of trea-
S011 during the rebellion or who. had
been committed to cnsto'dy, were en-
titled to an - indemnity, but a .goad
many felt that not a tenth of those
concerned had been convicted' or ban-
ished, ansi there WAS nothing to pre-
vent those .persons from 'collecting a
Aare of the spoil.
The hill passed the _Assembly by a
majority of forty-seven to eighteen
votes, and the Legislative Council by
twenty to fourteen. Lord Elgin the
Governor -)General gave the iR'oyal as-
sent to the measure on the twenty-
fifth of April; rand immediately 'Mont-
real was a scene of rioting. The Par-
liament Buildings, located on what is
now You'vi'1l'e SSquare, were wrecked
and then' set 'on ;fire, and in the eonrfla-
gration a 'fare 'library and ;priceless
public records were lost.
Lord Elgin WAS pelted with stones'.
and stale eggs as he drove along the
streets.and even a month {later he
thought well not to attend the prorog-
ation of Parliament. Before 'the 'close
of the session the }Assembly had pass-
ed an address argili'g the necessity' for
having the capital alternately at Tor-
onto and 'Queb'ec.
It is interesting to note that in this
discussion regarding removal, ,Mr,
John A. Macdonald set 'forth the.
claims of Kingston, and Bytown was
also proposed. Bytown bad a larger
vote than Kingston, but neither se-
cured a majority. The two remaining
sessions of IParl4ament were held at
Torotrto.
.About that time the British :Ameri-
can League was formed. ilt was a
'Conservative political organization
with one of its objects Ila determina-
tion to 'keep up tl,e agitation against
the Government regarding the 'Rebel-
lion Losses Ball.
!Early in September, 1743419, Lord E1 -
gin went to Niagara, where he }net
'President Taylor of the 'United States.
Then he visited several of the Upper
Canadian towns with a view to the se-
lection of a permanent capital. In the
itinerary was Bytown. but there, the
feeling against the Governor ran so
high, that its chances were wrecked
at the start. to riot took place at a
public meeting (on September 1'7th)
ending in a 'fierce battle, with stones
for ammunition. Tose meeting bad
been called to adopt an address of
welcome to His Exce'l'lency, 'but in-
stead, the day went down in Bytawn
annals as "Stoney Monday."
The migratory system of holding
Parliament at Toronto •and Quebec
did not prove a success, and the cost
and inconvenience of removal !became
so :great that other arrangements had
to be made. 'On the lllGth of April, 1116516,
one finds 'A'ttorneyJGeneral Drum-
mond moving the following:
"That in order to facilitate the se-
lection of a proper place for the :per-
manent 'seat of ,government it is ex-
pedient -that no place other than ogle
of the cities hereinafter named be se-
lected, or proposed for 'selection as the
place where the seat of government is
to the permanently fixed, nam'e'ly: To-
ronto, Quebec, Off ontrea'l, 'Ottawa,
Kingston and Hamilton."
This was seconded by 'the Hon.
George Etienne (Cartier. In 'the vote
'w'Itich followed' the members were
asked' to choose 'between. .Hemlltou
'an'd Quebec, in which Q.u'ebec. won by
a majority 'of seven ty to forty-six.
-
Then Toronto was part lip against
Quebec .and the result'was Quebec
seventy-one, Toronto 'fifty-six. The
next vote was Kingston and. Quebec,
and the latter had sixty-seven as ag-
ainst the !Limestone City's ,fifty-four.
Quebec wan !again by .srxtyjfive ag-
