At Wednesday afternoon's session
Mr. Paterson. the county agricultural

port on the work of his department.
The first year Mr. Paterson was in
the office he said he addressed thirty
meetings, including about 1000 per-

T'he office work was about the same
as in previous years.
As to senior work, that is work
with the adult farmers, Mr. Pater -
eon said he waited 'till requests for
information came to his office aid it
was 'surprising how many inquiries
he received as to the securing of seed
grain, fertilizer or stock, etc. One of
the big things of the year was the
putting across of the first hog fair,
at McGaw. This was one of the big
fairs of the Province and 29 men re-
-ceived prizes. There were a lot of
good apples raised in the county and
there could have been a lot more.
And those who made a success of ap-
ple growing invariably had used
spraying. Mr, Paterson spoke of the
results of short courses, Home gar- i
glen clubs, etc, -As to the school

tutes; -36 under the Highways Traffic
Act; 5 under the InlandRevenueAct;
11 under county and municipal by-
laws, and 53 :juvenile • court cases.
Two cases under the Criminal Code
were sent up for trial at the defend-
ants' request. Formerly all criminal
cases were tried by the county judge,
with or without a jury, with the
expense borne by ,the county.
'Below we give the report of com-
mittees, which were adopted, and also
some of the motions which were car-
ried, showing what action the coun-
