to the production of exhibition grain, While it is
recognized that those things should apply to the

the best plan for securing an exhibit sample. If.
such a plot is subjected to extra preparation—with.
more care probably than it le possible to devote to
the whole crop area—and sown to the very choicest

ONTARIO LEGISLATURE.
Declaring the Ontario Hydro Pow-
er Commission is following the prin-
ciple laid down by_Sir Adatn Beck of
purchasing power outside the pro-
vince, Hon, J. R. Cooke, MIinis-ter o:
Power in the 'Henry Government, it
winding u -p the budget debate for the
Government made a spirited reply to
Hydro critics. IIn a vote on the
Tweed amendment which criticized
the government for not removing ccr
tain taxation; the Henry governinen
had its budget approved by, the over
whelming vote of 81-18.
In his address that lasted for an
hour and a half, Hon, Mr. Cooke
declared the Ontario 'Governmen
stands irrevocably committed and wil
loyally observe every siltgle pledge
great or small, in regard to Hydro
ever given to the municipalities o.f the
province. .
,Contracts for purchase of Tower
t'itlt private interests, Hon; Mr
Cooke told the House had been men-
tioned in a letter written by Sir Ad-
am in 1923 aed 1924, in negotiating
with Montreal Engineering Company
for a -supply of. power front the Ot-
tawa River at $15 per h.p., and the
reason given for tleis was that theft
nci'her development of the St. Law-
rence or on the Ottawa would be con-
cluded for some years, .
"It is not true 'o we have d,eparted
from the principles of Sir Adani
Beck," declared Hon, Mr. Cooke, who
added he was more concerned with
the problem of supplying power tiaan
with the prospeetsses of promoters:
Hon. Mr. Cooke pointed out the
vast increase in both customers and
the amount of power distributed,
while the rural dis1•ricts have ans in-
vestment of $15,000,000 in Hydro and
a paid up equity in this figure of $9,-
000,000, and they ane today building
new line 'at the rate of six miles a day
which increases .to 10 to 12 in the
summer. To"al reserves of the com-
mission in the sinking fund he said
are $10675,900, while the capital' in-
vestment was $262,000,000. There are
7,125 miles of rural power lines as
compared wfth 507 in
1923, while ru-
ral users liad increased from 3,200 to
49.000. •
Creation of an advisory ;board- of
A proposed amendment to the fish
and game laws is to be introduced to
safeguard the rights of both anglers
and commercial ,fishermen which will
make it unlawful for any one to pur-
chase, sell or barter pickerel, pike or
lake trout except under authority of
the commerciei license. Complaints 1,
from anglers in- the Georgian Bay dis-'
trict.were made -that commercial fish-
ermen were depleting those. waters.
A grant •of $5,000,000 for 'develop-
ment work in Northern Ontario was
approved by the House,following a
discussion of problems of..that 'sec-
tion '
sec -tion' of the province by Hon. ;Wpi:
Finlayson, `°Minister of Lands and
Forests, who intimated that a system
of travelling auditors will..be institut-
ed in connection with continuing this
work. This auditor will tour the ten
engneering disrticts to check all ex-
penditures, made by the department.
Over a period` of eighteen years,
Hon. Mr, Finlayson explained to the
House. there had been ' $50,000,000
spent in this development. Two huge
undertakings: are provided for in the
fund. 'These are the building of the
Ferguson and Trans -(Canada high-
ways, while' a route for the latter will
require considerable study as to whe-
ther the northern route or the south-
erly short route should be adopted.
Premier Henry in .explaining an
amendment ".to the Highway Traffic
Act dealt with the section on hitch-
hikers. The section prohibits anyone
soliciting a, lift while on the travelled
section of the . highway, Premier
Henry. observed_ it is directed . at the
professional hitch -hiker who is ,cams=
ing a tnenace.on the highway'by get-
ting out on the road and practically
forcing motorists to stop and give
him a lift. -
"We seek to discourage standing in
traffic and holding up that traffic and
thereby creating a danger to motor-
ists travelling along . the highway,"
said Premier'Henry, who added a
Guelph student had complained it
night prevent him reaching his home,
to visit his girlwhen he is travelling
without funds, Premier !Henry 'added
that it was not intended to interfere
with such cases.
Hon, T. L. Kennedy, Minister of
Agriculture, expressed pleasure at the
decision of the -British Government in
not changing the cattle•' freight regu-
lations which would have made export
of cattle from Canada more expensive
to .the shipper.
rrIt will encourage the export of
cattle to England, as Ontario cattle
exporters were much perturbed over
the situation.asan increase in the
space per headwould have made ex-
port almost prohibitive," said Col,
Kennedy,
Annual report for 1930 of the pro-
vincial police .department tabled by
Hen. W.. H. Price, Attorney-1Generai.'i
shows increased activity in the num-
ber of prosecutions throughout she
province, although this is explained
by the additional number of 'motor
cycle patrol officers added to the ,de-
partment. Total prosecutions under
all acts was 14,592, an increase of
1,406 os'er the previous year, ' 'while
prosecutions under the Criminal Code.
exclusive of the Liquor .Control Act.
numbered 8,079 an in'crea'se of 1,386.
Commenting on the. enforcement of
the Liquor Control Act, Major-Gen-
eral Victor Williams, Commissioner,
of Police, observes that one of the
chief difficulties is the home brew
beer pro:blent, and the influx of Amer-
ican alcohol, There were 86 auto-
mobiles confiscated under the act, and
seven motor trucks value -d at $32,600.
Mfa.1nr crime included 21 casesof
murder, being ottg less than in 1929;
17 of manslaughter as compared with
28 in the previous year, while suicides
totalled 83 the satire. member, as in

Interest in cow -testing work in
Peel County is keen. Results far
1930 of the Peel County Cow Testing
Association were presented at a- re-
cent meeting. ' The twenty best cows
averaged 12,557 pounds of milk and
445 pounds of .butterfat, whereas the
twenty. poorest cows only averaged
5,267 pounds of milk and 210 pounds
of butterfat.. It is felt that the culling.
of low producers would alleviate the
Surplus milk problem in Toronto.
Over. 100 cows were "entered during
February in the cow -testing work,
which brings the total number being
tested nibnthly for milk' and .butter
fat production to nearly 900 cows at
Brampton.
British Market For Barley
'Steps to secure markets for Ontario
barley 'itt Britain are being taken by
Hon. T. L. Kennedy in conjunction
with federal authorities. Re'cent in-
vestigations have shown that British
brewers and (natters annually pur-
chase about 21 million bushelsof
barley from California, 'This barley
is; especially suited for making beer.
A variety of bright, hard,• six -rowed
barley, developed>at the O:A:C., is
now being grown here and is equally
as good ,Ontario far."mers could pro-
deice 100 ntillioti bashels of this .bar-
ley every year if there was a market
for it. (California barley has been
bringing 76 cents a bushel on the
English grain exchanges, while cost
of shipping is 15.40 cents a bushel.
Ontario could ship at about the same
cost, California. farmers have been
receiving 53.6 cents for their barley
at San Francisco, while Ontario far-
mers receive less than 40 cents. (Bri-
tish brewing interests are reported
willing to give the Ontario product
a trial, but want to be assured o.f a
sufficiently steady supply to , meet
their needs. •
Potato and Seed Show
The 'Potatq and Seed Show held at
Shelburne recently proved a very
successful and. instructive event. The
classes were filled with good quality
products, with Dooley Potatoes and
Alaska Oats an outstanding feature.
A program of lectures was given, the
speakers including .Prof. W. J, Squir-
rell of O.A.C. and Mr. J. A. Carroll,
director of the D,epartment's Crops
and 'Markets Branch The latter em-
phasized the success of grading of
farm products in Canada, The quality
of eggs, potatoes, and hogs had un-
doubtedly been 'improved. Canadians
were now eating 30 dozens, of eggs
per capita, while. England eats only
11 dozen per capita, •
Barley vs. Corn '
Recent declinea.. in the prices' of
farm products have been far snore
serious in grains than in live stock
and this decline has been greater pro
portionately-in barley- than in wheat.
This 'situation presents an opportun-
ity y to farmers, feeders and poultry-
men who have been accustomed to
depend upon imported corn, Barley
for general feeding purposes is equal
to corn in value.
In': spite of this fact, there was im-
ported into Canada during three
months last fall 3,250,000 bushels of
corn while there was ,available in stor-
age elevators 30,000,000 bushels of
high quality Canadian barley selling
at less than half the price of the im-
ported feed,
Scores of experiments it Canada
have demonstrated the value of bar-
ley as a 'carbohydrated feed,
;Barley is particularly suitable for
producing an excellent quality of ba-
con and may form 'the bulk of the
ration for hogs, In addition, it can
be profitably fed 'to dairy cattle, beef
cattle and poultry. •
It is pointed out by an authority
that the extensive use of barley for
feeding 'purposes will not only, im-
prove the economic position of the
Dominion but will also result in lower
production costs to farmer and poul-
tryman.
IW. A. Ross. pf the Vineland Sta-
tion recomn'tends that if the present
spell of fine weather continues, oil.
spraying should be commenced in
pear' orchards immediately or at least
as soon' at it is possible to get on the
land with a spray machine. No oil
spraying should be done if the"temp-
erature is near, at or below freezing.
Fertilizer on Tomatoes
Five field tests with tomatoes were
conducted last summer by' the De-
partment of Chemistry, 0.A.C., in
various localities, medium to light
loam soils being chosen. Good pre-
paration was given to the soil and an
average application of 750 lbs. of
fertilizer was made at the .time
healthy, vigorous stock Was set out
in the spring.
The :ffve'tests showed an average
yield of 174.2 bushels per acre yehere
750 lbs. of fertilizer teas applied. The
unfertilized section .averaged 54,9 bu-
shels per acre, giving a gross gain
from fertilizing of 119.3 bushels. The
cash cost of the fertilizer was $39 per
ton, hence an application of 750 tbs.
represents an investment of $14.60.
Valuing the increase in tomato yield
at 50c per bushel, the gross "return
was $59.60. Investment 'in fertilizers
was $14,60, hence the net return was
$45 per. acre or the tomato growers
made over three for .one on their in-
vestment in fertilizers. Fertilizers us-
ed in these, tests were -2-12-6, 0-14-6,
3-10-5 and 4-8-10.
To Encourage Use of Lime
;I'n order' to encourage the greater
use of lime in agriculture in Ontario,
particularly in those sections where a
soil corrective is required to stimu-
late more economical production of
farm crops, 1Hon, Thomas L. Ken-
nedy, Minister of Agriculture, an-
nounces a policy of assistance ie the
matter of reduced freight rates on ag-
ricultural
g-
ricultoral limestone,
- :The CirT:R, and C.P.R. Companies
have agreed to reduce the present tar-
iff on pulverized limestone to be used
by farmers to the amount of 25 per
cents and the Provincia'l and Federal
Departments of Agriculture in co-op-
eration will grant further subventions
to the combined amount of one-half.
the remaining freight rate with a
xintum of $1.00 per ton. On lime-
stone screenings that now enjoy spe-
cial freight rates the two' govern-
ments will grant subventions amount-
ing to one-half the freight rate with
a tnaximuin of $1.00 per ton.
In' order to take advantage of this
assistance purchasers must order at
least a minimum carload` of thirty
tons. When this minimum amount
is more than is required by individual
farmers they will be encouraged to
group their orders in order to take
advantage of the tariff reductions,
This undertaking is ander the di-
rection of the Crops Co-operation &
Markets Branch, Ontario Department
