A- tall order, but quite tsossible if Mr. Hepburn and his party are prepared to sacrifice progress and give the people of Ontario stagnation and mortification. To cut his expenditures Ontario's Liberal leader, among other "economies" would wipe out the Ontario Department of Agriculture. He has placed himself on record to effect this: The Toronto, Globe, in reporting his speech at a banquet in -Toronto on December 15, 1932, says: "The dePartments of Game and Fisheries, AGRICUL- TURE, Labour, and Mines, the Motion Picture Bureau, Research Work and Colonization were a few which Mr. Hepburn cited as instances where curtailment or ABANDON- MENT of one service could be effected without hurting administration." WHATOF THE FARMER? Possibly administration would not suffer. • • But what would happen to the farmer? Where would he be with his overseas selling agent gorse merely to set up a record for low speeding? Would it be true economy to wipe out, at one enthusiastic gesture, the agricultural research which makes 1p/tillable to every farmer, without money and without price, all the resources of science, qtrill, knowledge andexperience for the enlarging of output and the improvement of quality at lower Operating costs? WOULD THESE HELP? Would it help the farmer to wipe out the department which held, for farmers and farm women, in 1933, a total of 93 courses in agriculture and home economics at as many centres throughout the province? Would the money saving jestify the elimination in every county of the nal:md agricultural representative, the man th whom the farmers look for advice in casee of plant or stock &ease/ • Through abandonment of the ontario Department of A grkulture, Ontario's Liberal leader would abandon the Ontario Marketing Board. ' • : Can the Ontario farmer afford to be without this board, or Would its abandonment be another of the Costly Economies which Mr. Hepburn proposes. • The Ontario Marketing Board knew that fruit produced in Ontario was good fruit, but it knew also that it was not reaching outside markets in t way which made poteetial buyers aware of its goodness. Through co-operation with fruit grovers, cooling places and a grading system were estab- lished. • In 1029, the year this policy was decided on, Ontario sold • 65 carloads of apples beyond its own boundaries. In 1933, after ten cooling places bad been established, • sales in Great Britain atone Wailed 450,000 barels, Ital. lied at $1,080,000. • • -• In addition to Ma:there were correspondingly large sales On thecontinerd of Europe and in the Canadian lithe same five Years the export of pears and plums grew PritStieeltYilethieg to Mere than IWO peckagess • Thsis ote sereice tendered by the Herne GoveraMent Which thelintaiktlihellelPottY'Wellid '4,1)ii%e out ht its Alit inikeOod the emit ‘`edriOnlYii PrOtilige if itg 1t-4-4,tt„ • But this is only a small part of what the Ontario Marketing Board, product of the progressive Conservative administxa- tion, has done for the farmer. PRICES WENT UP • • la 1932 it saw another opportunity and this year saw Ontario Brewers who had abandoned Ontario barley using 1,000,000 bushels of the Ontario product at a price 0150,000 above the current market quotation. . The board turned to the problems of the turnip grower. As a result of its first season's work the board obtained one contract for 1932 for 40,000 bushels and the price obtained now by the farmers is between 50 and 100 per cent. better than before the board became interested in the sitirtiori. • • Export sales of cattle in 1933 for the whole of Canada totalle450,317 head, valued at $3,189,104.

What the Ontario Department of Agriculture and its sub- sidiary, the Ontario Marketing Beard—the Department which Liberal Leader Hepburn would wipe out—has done for the bacon industry needs no comment. The figures speak for themselves. • BACON SALES JUMPED In 1932 Ontario sold thirty million pounds of Bacon in the • British Market. In 1933 the figure has grown to 40,000,000 Pounds. AND THE FIRST FIVE MONTHS OF 1934 HAVE 'BROUGHT INCREASED BACON RETURNS OF MORE THAN $15,000,000 TO THE FARMERS OF THIS pROVINCE. Export of dressed poultry has grown from a negligible figure to a total, in 1933, of $1,226,098. To improve live stock herds of the province it agreed to pay twenty per cent. of the cost of pure bred sires. In 1932 alone there were 430 applications and $37,000 was paid. In the five years 442 approved herd sireswere sent into Northern Ontario. 05 these the Ontario Government paid 30 per cent. of the cost, plus the freight. Efforts of the department and co-operation of dairymen have liaproWdthe clue:140ot the 86,000,000 pound anial' production of Cheddar cheese from 89. per cent. first quality in 1924 to .96 per cent, first quality in 1932 and Ontario Cheddar Cheese now brings a premiums of from two to three cents over cheese from other countries. „ Ontario 'ire the only province whith loans money to farmers on the securttY of thew lands and Chattel*. In 1033 it loaned in round kures, $6,700,000 to 3,415 apPlkants. „ • • .

The duplicate copy of the miaittes is forwarded to the Tress for the purpose of .pritng the minute books. As the printer 'males, up his proofs they are forwarded to the 'Clerk's office, where they are given final reading, and after correction, if any, they are returned again to the printer, when the printing Or. the minute books is completed. Thus the orignal minutes never leave the Clerk's office. • This report also supplies to all other data, such as Committee 'Re- ports, Auditors' Statements, Resolu- tions„ etc., that goes to print with the minutes. During the last period the information forward to the press was delayed to some extend, as there was a great deal of time spent in working out a definite plan. In fu- ture, now that plan are made, the printing of the Minutes Books should be completed. with much greater des.patch. Another minute book records the minutes of the 'Committee meetingg held,such as Old, Age Pensions, House cf Refuge and, Property Committees. Some meetings of course, are not at- tended by the Clerk and therefore he has no rereord of such Meetings. If in the Council's opinion it is deemed adviseable to have all niinutes of Committees filed in the one record book., your clerk will most happy to comply with your suggestioes. He personally is of the opition that a decided advantage would result, if in future, all Committee reports were filed under proper indexes, in the one binder. Each member of a Committee Meeting receives a copy of all minutes. • By- laws are also filed under a lock- ed 'binder and will be maintained, in- ontinuous record in the future.
