THE DOMINION BANK A. M. Bishop, Branch Manager, Wingharn, Ontario Year from one acre of harley than from ally other grain. There is Ontario; too, a steady market at bet- ter than world prices for a large vol- ume .of good barievfor industrial per - poses, and when it comes to the build- ing up of poor soil, or the reclaim- ing of weed -infested ereas, there is no other grain crop that can be util- ized to suchi.'idireetage, The preseut barley acreage in Ontario is only about one-half .ef the combined acre- age in fall and spring wheat, but pre- sent prospects point to this situation being reversed with profits to the producer anclahe province as a whole. Purity Will Count It is almost universally acknow- ledged that the production •of good quality trope is a better paying pro- position than the producing of poorer quality and the very best Canadian authorities are constantly advocating the sowing of seed of the best Oat- ity. •"Growers intending to show in the wheat class of the World's Grain Show," says, L. H. Newman, Dominion cerealist and chairman of the awards committee, "should make every effort to get the purest stock possible. In placing the awards at Regina in 1932, purity of variety or type, as determined by growing tests, will constitute an important factor, although not the only factor." Ontario Potatoes The success of co-operative mar- keting of potatoes in the County of Simcoe is remarked upon editorially by the Barrie Examiner as follows: "l'he organized efforts among a number of potatie growers in .this dis- trict to improve the quality of their - product and market it to advantage is producing good results. For the first time .in years Ontario potatoes of certified brand have been com- manding practically as good a price as those from New Brunawick. With a little perseverance and an exten- sion of the organized movement On-. tario potatoes in a few years should regain practically the whole of the Ontario market which was lost through inefficient methods." Weekly Crop Report Somewhat more optimistic reports have been forthcoming from agricul- tural representatives. However, El- gin, Brant, Essex, Haldimand, Hal- ton, Larnbton, Prince Edward Cretin; ties all report serious injuries to fall wheat fields that will result in many instances in replanting. A few other counties anticipate good crops.

Parliament came later than king, although, stage by etege, it has made for the royal power tied - Tate ebanuelsaso that, broadly speak- ing, the King's sovereignty is mon, eised through the various node e Par- liament has devised for it, writes a contributor to the London Express. A large and indefinite residue of authority, however, has never been taken away front the Sovereign of Great Britain, Thus there remain many things which the King may properly do without Parliamentary authorizatiou. By the very fact of the constant eon- sultation with Ministers involved in our constitution., the Sovereign exer- eises enormous personal influence over the general coarse of events. The letters of Queen Victoria demon- strate agala and again what heavy pressure the Queen brought to bear upon the political life of the eountry -she once indeed threatened a,bdica tion if a certain line relevant to Rus- sian affairs were taken by one of her Cabinets! In addition to profound and subtle influence upon Ministers, relations between Britain andp foreign powers lies in the hands of the crown. It is for the King to declare war, and for the King to consent to peace. It will be remembered how Presi- dent WilSOn wanted the League of Nations embodied. In the Treaty of Versailles; how strangely also he for- got his peace -making powers could be exercised only in conjunction with the Senate of the. United States, and the confusion into which the world's history was thereby thrown. The ad- vantage of having one final authori- tative treaty maker was never more clearly demonstrated. • The King appoints judges, bishops and many other dignitaries. II the King made the humblest curate an. archbishop no one could undo the deed. The great prerogative of •mercy is . another residue of power left in the hands of the Sovereign; when judge and jury have done their work it is for the King to exereige, if so advised, the power of reprieve. • It is a common error to speak of the Rome Secretary. "reprieving" a prisoner. The exact fact is that the King, having been advised by the Home Secretary to reprieve, and hav- ing accepted that advice, does as has been suggested to him. It may be recalled that George III.. was ex- tremely adverse to all the pressure brought to bear on him to reprieve the Rev. D. Dodd, the forger, and eventually that gentleman was hanged. From the theoretical point of view (and ignoring what might be the ul- timate fate of the Sovereign who did these things), the King could disband the army, navy and civil service; and sell all ships, barracks, post offices, naval and military stores and arsenals. He could cede the Isle of Wight to Denmark. He could raise to the peerage every subject he has.He could re- lease every prisoner. He could erect a hundred universities. He could ap- point any sailor to command the navy, any soldier the army. Queen Victoria caused immense and general surprise when she abot- ished, merely by her royal warrant, shirts lin her army. the system of purchasing commis The crown enjoys many immuni- ties. The King, as Sovereign, is com- pletely immune from the jurisdiction of the eourts. If an English king committed forgery or arson it is clear that the King could not indict him tp be tried in his own courts! He cannol. be sued for debt, nor proceed- ed against for tort. The King can do no wrong --runs the old constitutiotal maxiin. The Statute of Limitations does not ma agatifst. the King, and no Act of Par- liament binds the Crown unless the Crown is specifically mentioned as be- inghound in it. The King, also, is head of the Eng- lish Church, "so far as the law of Christ allows," and as such is a quasi- ecelesiastleal person in the eye of church and state. Certaia minor privileges also be- long to the King. He has the right to escheat royal sturgeons, to mine for saltpetre, to treasure trove. Fbr this last reason the coroner ("Crown.er") is sttll the proper person to inquire into findings of concealed treasure. England's Largest Home.

So vat is it that even its carters have failed to ex- plore all its receSses, Lord Fitawilliaro.'s immediate pre- decessor one day took a notion to ex- plore the basements, and wandered through much unknown territory without meeting a soul.

Survey of .Fruit Industry A general survey of the fruit indus- try.of Canada is to be commenced at an early date with Dr. J. F. Booth as commissioner, and "Joe" Coke of the economics department of 0. A. C. as his assistant. Dr, Booth is ask- ing the co-operation of all interested in finding out the exact facts regard- ing the fruit industry. Both the Can- adian Horticulteral Council and the .4t1I-Canada Agricultural Conference, have asked for such an investigation of costs and methods. Makes Good in Canada Hearken to the story of Charles London, of Peel County, another British immigrant who has made good m: on a good to me. When ten years of age I went into service in England as chore boy, and remain- ed with one man for 21 years. See- ing no prospect for much advance- ment, I came to Canada and was in the employ of one man for tee years and with another for three years. I rented a farm of 50 acres, and now my boy and I own 150 acres."
