'The Beauharaois committee report makes bhe fallowing ,recommenda- tions: 1. That the Pariiam,ent of Canada take such action as may be within its power, and without prejudicing the rights al the Province of Quebec, to procure the development of this pro- ject in such a manner as will best serve the people DE 'Canada, 2. That, should the eights of the Dominion and the Province of Quebec come in conflict, every effort be put forth to arrive at a satisfactory agree- ment, so that the project may rat be imperilled by delay. 3. That definite action he taken to preserve the rights of navigation and; the conipdete jurisdiction nI Peryea- meat .in respect thereto. 4. That theorder of reference, the reports of the committee, the minutes of proceedings, the minutes of the evidence taken, and the exhibits filed be printed as an appendix to the jour pals of bhe House;' 5. That a copy of this report be remitted to the Speaker of the Senate for the information of that House. 'The report will not come up for de- bate until. 'Thursday. Technically, this report is that of the entire Commit- tee, Liberals, Conservatives and one Progressive, Robert Gardiner. Wed- biesday, bhe Liberals will hold their 'weekly caucus, and will likely decide the character• of the amendment which they are etpected' to move at the op- ening of the debate Thursday, at is highly probable that the Lib- erals will decide to demand a fall in- vestigation. IN'o mention is trade in •the report of the trip to Bermuda at Easter, 1930, on which the 'Beauharnois, through Benator McDougald, first plaid' Mr. King's hotel •bills but was subsequent- ly reimbursed. The committee, hew - ever set from nine thirty o'clock Tues- day morning until six o'clock the same evening and several changes were made in the report. One such change is believed to have been the deletion of, a reference to the fact that 'Senator IH,ayden, who received large cam- paign contriVtions from Beauharnoie,. accattnpapied the Liberal leader and Senator MdDougald on this Bermuda trip. * * * The report censures 'Senators Wil- frid Laurier McDougall and Andrew 'l.*Ilayd'on and Donat Raymond in the strongest terms; lashes out at R. 0, Sweezey and other high. Reateharnoiis officials, and maintains a circumspect neutrality regarding the evidence •of John Aird, Jr. It recommends the fu- ture development of the giant Slt. Lawrence power scheme "in s•ulah a manner as will 'best serve the people of Canada," without interfering with Quebec's provincial rights. Senator McDougald', often_ referred to as a "bosom friend" of Right Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, "cannot be too strongly condemned," says the re- port. Senator Haydon,it declares, violated leis trust as a senator, Mr, Sweezey, who is president of Bean- harnois, and Haigh. B, Griffith, the sec- retary earetary treasurer, are featly accused of a "misuse of conspany funds" in mak- ing the $900,000 campaign fund con- tributions t hist they admitted on the stand. Senator Raymond is taxed with a lack of candor. With respect to Mr. Aird, who ad- mitted receiving $125,000 for "doing nothing" toward getting' the Beauhar- uais its Ontario. Hydra contnact, the comnnittee is content to remark that there is cleanly no evidence that any of this money reached the Ontario Conservatives. rt says: "Whether the truth lies on one side or the other, it. is clear there is no evitleece before the committee that would indicate that any of these bonds have reached' any political organization or any per- son authorized to receive campaign funds," After pointing out evidence that $45,000,000 is needed to complete the. project, the committee points out that the promoters already have profited' at Current market quotations, to the ex- tent of $6,489,000 in cash' and shock, areover, says bhe report, the $2,1189,- 000 cash profit was paid out of money borrowed from, the public from the sale of bonds; The five management shares, the repont continues, give the I OW.LING TOURINEY. ,Fine weather and a large crowd', made the bowling Tourney. on Wed-; nesday a success. 38 rendes com- peted.

THE BUSY FARMER * * (Furnished by Ontario Depart- * * ment of, Agriculture.) * * * * * * * * * * * * Hogging Corn Saves Feed In a series of tests the practice of "hogging" corn,i.e., turning hogs in- to a field of mature corn to feed, show that material l economies in meal •feed are Possible and the 'returns ; from hags so fed_ ere substantially greater, than the cost of growing the corn. Fertilizer and Sow Thistle. The 0JA.C. Department of Botany is conducting an experiment to test various methods ` for the eradication of sow thistle. In the experiment one- half of each plot received complete fertilizer, ,while the other half was left unfertilized.In the unfertilized portions the saw thistle plants were, more numerous and were always larger and more vigorous than those ia:. the fertilized sections. The plants in the latter plots• were dwarfed and showed no indication of flowering this season. Government Turkey Farm. Dr, G. I. ,Christie and Professor Graham of OjA.C, visibted the Govern- ment 'turkey 'tenni at ''Forestville in Nbrfaldc'County recently: 'This pr:n- THURSDAY,• JULY 30, 1931. ject was started five years ago on ,a farm consisting alarost entirely, of bldwsand. Alt present there are some 1,800 'birds et range with 500' more edpected, Some of the oldest birds at nine weeks old had attained the weight of 71pounds and'were expected to be ready for market by September. The system employed on. ;the farm is to move the young birds, which are incubator ,hatched; into field, houses at the age of two .weeks. These houses are plated in :fields of young rye in wluiclt the binds are allowed' free range. By this method and with the help of green ''Manure crops ploughed under, a relatively good soil is being buid't up. Buying Raw Materials. ;George R. Paterson, in charge of feed and fertilizer distribution far the Department, polint5 out :that cost of raw materials is an important item in the fannter's cast of 'production. The farmer requires feeds, fertilizer, lim'e- stoae, binder twine, oil, lumiber, 'mach- inery and a hest off ,other things to manufacture •farm products, Tdte far - m& also has .to consider the weather which is a very - uncertain factor. Therefore cost of production of farm products is anunknown quantity, as every case is different. While he can- not control the weather, the farmer can control the costs of raw mater- ials. 'Th'e time to estimate feed re- quirements is after the harvest, not after the home.grolwn grains are all fed and it suddenly dawns on the feedr er that he .must buy. ,Fertilizer re- quirements may readily be estimated beforehand. Other important items may be estimated and purchased to advantage ;before required. Bulk buy- ing is best. It costs the feed man more to sell a bag of feed .than a tan. It will cost the farmer less to take his own delivery in most cases. The credit system «is conducive t6 extra costs and should be avoided. Fanners will do :well to stick to proven commodities and standard materials until new ones have been tested. In 1927 Ontario exported 20 car- loads of aplples, In 1929 120 carloads. went overseas and in 1930 it shad in- creased to 390 carloads. This year the ,Government 'confidently looks forward to a total export of 800 car- loads, nearly all of it destined for the English market, Spray Service Invaluable. Prof. How'itit df O.A,C. •hes secured reports from agr'icultural representa- tives and spray supervisors as to the results being obtained in their ''spec- tive comities. The ' folldwing' 's!tate-` ment from Dundas. and West Storm - oat counties is typical of all reports received: "Every orchard has shown decided 'improvement since going into the spray service. :The best example of what call be accomplished is found in results obtained in an orchard near Iroeiuois. In 1928 they harvested onie thousand barrels of apples which were 35% clean. • In 1929 they had twele hundred barrels of apples which were almost 100 per cent clean. In 1930, they harvested 1000 barrels and inthe whole crop found eight apples wibh scab." Raspberry Control. 'General control measures for rasp- berries are summarized by Canadian authorities as follows: 1. Use nothing but clean, " healthy certified Stock. Demand ,such stock from your nurseryman. 2. Practice clean cultivation. 3. Practice rotation of crops. Af- ter destroying an old raspberry plan- tation do trot replant ft to berries for at least three or four years. Grew some such ,cndps as corn, grasses, cer- eals, legumes, etc, 4. ;Destroy w^ilct raspberries or blackberries in the vicinity of the cul- tivated varieties, 5. Remove fruiting canes as soon after harvest as' possible. At the same time dig and destroy all badly diseas- ed plants, 6. :Systematically remove from the plantation and burn all rogated plant's, or pruninigs, Will Select Junior Judges. Ontario will be represented by a team in the junior graineju'dging com- petitions to be held at the World's Grain Exhibition in 'Regina in 1932. This clecision was reached at 'the re- cent annual ,convention of agricultural. representatives at Gue ph: The teams will be selected 'by elimination con- tests, probably at four 'different points in the province.' The five boys: ob- taining highest store at each of these, contests will be taken to O. A. C. and there given further training.
