"College Royal" During the past few years a new feature of unusual interest in the ed- ucational work of the Ontario Agri- cultural College has been the annual exhibition known as the • "College Royal," The show is staged entirely by the students and is a sort of 'minia- ture Royal Winter Fair, This year's show was held on _March 4th and proved highly successful. An unusual feature is the fact that in the live stock classes'prizes were not awarded on the merits of the animals but on the pro- ficiency of the exhibitors m preparing' and exhibiting their entries. Current Crop Report. The crop report issued for the first week in March describes' a general poor condition among 'live stock, Brant County reports that stock •in many cases does not look too well and the farmers have been wintering then as cheaply as possible. Crops in Dufferin appeared to be in good .con- dition and a heavy demand for .No. 1 Alaska Oats is: indicated. Consider- able sickness in fowl is reported by Frontenac. No unsatisfactory reports have been heard regarding fall wheat, but farmers in. Haldimand are con- cerned on_accoui t of the unusual wea- ther. Fall wheat and clover fields are inpoor condition - in Hastings, while serious damage has been done by ro dents in Huron orchards. Fall wheat in Kent is in good condition and egg production in •Lambton is 'rapidly on the increase. Red clover seed is plentiful in Lincoln but alfalfa seed' is scarce. Cattle have been selling ex- tensively xtensi ely- in Middlesex. A surplus supply 'of milk is reported in Oxford. Orchards in Welland have been in- jured by the ice storms of the past The New Durant-" 644 " APPEARANCE PERFORMANCE COMFORT VALUE THE new Durant 6-14 has such striking APPEARANCE and is so apparently a COMFORTABLE car that it only 'requires a test of its PERFORMANCE for one to fully realize its true VALUE. Admiration for its appearance is accounted for by its. attractive colors and general design a low -built car with long, flowing lines and spear -point decorative theme throughout; Large doors, wide seats, deep cushions and a surplus of interior roominess immediately suggest a new standard of riding comfort. The merits of the new motor are best appreciated when the 6-14 is in actual road performance. After you have seen this new car,l ask your dealer to give you a: demonstration in order that you may) judge its new riding and driving qualities for yourself.

E. W, .Beatty, K.C.; president of the 'C. P.IR., ,in a recent :add'ress .at Toronto, dealing with the conditions of the railways in their relation • to the marketing of Canada's wheat crop, paid a remarkable tribute to -agricul- ture. He decl'ared "It all indicates the tremendous importance of agri- culture to Canada's prosperity, • not only in its direct: results, to the pro- ducers of farm. products, but to the business of the country as a whole and through the Value of the general purchasing power which agricultural prosperity gives." - Amount of Farm Loans. ,Hon. John 8. Martin,Minister of Agriculture, told the Legislature that the amount of loans outstanding nn - der the Agricultural Development Act for the past three years was $15,513i1,360 int 1924; $19.465,405' in 1935, and 523,935,987 in 1929. He said there was 5173,9919 outstanding in short term notes at the close of -the last fiscal year. In answering a ques- tion as to how much money has been lost to date, be, said: "There have been no actual losses because the re- serve created for that. purpose has ta- ken care of all shorta'ges,.whieh have been $13,804 for long term notes,.and $903 for short term notes. The board has, taken.'no foreclosures, in the last three years, although sale proceedings have been taken' in 52 cases." Good Seed Pays Well. According to ,experiments conduct, ed at the Ontario Agricultural College it is now quite poem ble to raise the yield' forty 'per' cent., by using clean, high .quality seed. Results based on the work of the last few ,years actually show that this increase over the low - yielding plots run all'tl e way from 30 to 63 per cent. The importance of well -'cleaned seed is further il'lus'trated by the results from plots where small, broken and, seed was used in one case and large plump kernel's itt th-e other. The case of the former showed the yield watih'oats to be 416.6 bushels 'peracre as compared with 62 bushels Erom the latter. Good . seed costs -less than two dollars per acre more and yet this extra two dollars ,means a yield of 15 bushels of oats on. every acre, Free Material. The Ontario.
