NEWS AND INFORMATION
FOR THE BUSY FARMER.
Hon, .John S. Martin, 'Mi'nister of
Agricrilture,:. has introduced a bill in
the Legis'lattire providing for improve-
ment its the glality of dairy products.
The act now: provides that milk and
cream be paid for on a butter fat basis
except when for human consumption.
The amendment removes this excep-
tion.: IIt also provides that factories.
hereafter shall be termed' plants and
provides for extreme sanitation ` in
buildings.
"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.
The Durant Four continues as an important rent

Tribute to Agriculture.
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.
