I'h + Ontario Agrieullural Cont -
mission of Inquiry, under the chair-
manship of Archibald Leitch, lost
no time in getting down to business
whoa it held its first meeting on
Wednesday and Thursday of last
week. The meeting was called prim-
arily tq discuss organization and
procedure but the situation with re-
ference to 1944 agricultural produc-
tion' was felt to be so serious that
the Commission immediately began
to tackle some of the problems be-
fore it.
Hon, T, L, I{ennedy, Minister of
Agriculture and W. R. Reek, deputy-
minister, in addressing the Commis-
sion, both stressed the fact that it
had an entirely free hand to consider
all phases of agriculture and to
snake recommendations to the Gov-
ernment and assured the members
of their utmost support.
Early in the proceedings its was
decided to tackle first 'the problems
of 1044 production and several steps
were taken towards that end. A tele-
gr'am was sent to the co-ordinator of
foods administration, Ottawa, asking
for a speedy decision on the question
of the price differential between
table and seed potatoes and a reply
was received stating that a new or-
der was being issued. The provin-
' cial and federal subsidies on feed
grain from Western Ontario were
dealt with in a resolution which ask-
ed these governments to continue
the subsidy at the September rates
until December 31 without any re-
duction as was originally contem
plated.
The problem of securing an ade-
quate supply of seed grain was re-
ferred to a committee which brought
in a report out of which the follow-
ing recommendations were made to
the government:
(1) That a strong ad'ver'tising cam,
paign be carried on to encourage
farm to farm movement of seed
grain. (2) That a freight subsidy be
paid on seed grain coming from
Northern Ontario and Western Can-
ada. (3) That the government pur-
chase a quantity of suitable varieties
of registered and certified No. 1
seed in Western Canada for holding
purposes. (4) That the Dominion re-
gulations be relaxed to permit the
sale of mixtures of oats and barley
for seed. (5) That the fees for grad-
ing of seed samples be cancelled for
the present to encourage grading.
The inadequacy of the ceiling on
Ontario winter wheat was discussed
at some length and a special com-
mittee was struck to bring in recom-
mendations on this natter. It was
felt that the present ceiling price of
$1.12 a bushel for Ontario winter
ee-ent was far out of line with the
prices for western wheat. The mem-
"f ih' special committee are
Harold Huffman, of Blenheim and
Harry Wilson of Charing Cross.
A number of other committees
were struck to make investigations
and report at the next meeting of
the Commission.
Messrs. W. A. Dryden, Charles B.
Boynton, Stewart Brown and W. A,
Fletcher were appointed a committee
to investigate all matters relating to
the livestock industry and report
back to the Commission.

ing potato production,
A. W. Pope of Rainy River was
roquestr'd to preselit a report on the
discrepancy in freight rates to
points in Northern Ontario west of
Fort William, it being pointed out
that these rates, from Winnipeg',
were out of proportion to the rate
to Fort William.
Harry Wilson and Alex. McKinney
Jr. were appointed a committee to
inquire into the present method of
payment of hog' subsidies and to pre-
sent a report at the next meeting.
Mrs. C. Holmes and Messrs. Floyd
Griesbach, R. J. Scott, W. E. Brock -
on. W. L. Whyte and W, A. Fletch-
er were appointed a committee to
i bring before the Commission a rer
port on the extension of rural youth
I organizations and on rural educa-
tion,
A recommendation was forwarded
to the Minister of Agriculture ask-
ing that the short course on farm
mechanics be continued.
There was considerable discussion
regarding hog prices, it being stress-
ed that increased prices were neces-
sary to ensure continued high scale
production, but, as the new bacon
contract with Great Britain is now
under negotiation, it was felt nothing
more could be done until the con-
tract price is known.
A recommendation was made to
the Minister of Agriculture asking
that he instruct the county agricult-
ural representatives to conduct an
educational campaign regarding
shipping fever in cattle and foul -in -
the -foot.
R. W. Gallup, deputy administra-
tor of farm machinery, was called
before the •Commission and present-
ed information regarding the quota
of farm machinery which would be
available in the next year. The Com-
mission was greatly encouraged by
the news that the supply of farm
machinery would 1 b much greater,
the quota having been increased from
35 per cent to 78 per cent of the
1940-41 output.
Green Fuel Wood
Has 25% Water
The best time to cut, haul and
prepare wood for fuel for use in the
following year is during the winter
months. Wood for fuel should be
thoroughly dried. When green it
contains about 25 per cent of water
and the heat to evaporate is lost,
"'"'efore the burning of green wood
is greatly wasteful.
A log of unseasoned wood weigh-
ing, say 100 pounds, will weigh
when dry 00 pounds. What has been
lost in the drying has been 34 lbs of
water. With water about one-third
of the weight of green wood, then
''h^e ere 1,443 pounds of water in
a cord, which has to be made into
steam before the wood can be burn-
ed. By drying the wood before being
used as fuel most of the water is ex-
pelled and there is little loss of heat
in drying as it burns.
A solid foot of green elm wood
weighs 60 to (i5 pounds,.of which 30
to 35 pounds is sap or water. Beech
wood loses one-eighth to one-fifth its
weight in drying: oak one-quarter to
+^.o -fifths. The winter's wood for
feel or kindline should 'be seasoned
as soon as possible so as to avoid a
daily tussle with soggy wood.
