TUE AGRiCULTURAL INDUSTRY.
Special attention has keen given by
the Ontario government to Agricul-
ture, and the Agricultural College has
been made as effective as possible.
Additions have been made to main
buildings, chemical laboratories, etc.,
and the staff and equipment extended
to meet the increased number of stu-
dents.
Thorough instruction being given in
farm mechanics, and a building has
been provided for the purpose.
Work in connection with vegetable
growing, forestry, field chemistry,
poultry raising, has been further spec-
ialized.
To assist farmers in draining opera-
tions, instructors are now being sent
out, and many farmers are availing
themselves of their assistance and ad-
vice.
The short courses„ steadily growing
in popularity. The number of stu-
dents taking the short courses in
dairying, poultry raising, stock judg-
ing, has increased from 217 in 1904 to
889 in 1907.

WIiAT THE WHITNEY GOVERNMENT
HAS DONE.
Doubled railway taxation.
Inaugurated prison reform,
Inaugurated a policy of reforestra-
tion,
Changed the municipal election
laws.
Created the Municipal and Railway
Board
•
Increased the revenue to over eight
million dollars.
Thoroughly and properly enforced
the license law,
Practically established sii: now Ag-
ricultural Schools.
Improved the High,J'ublie and Sep-
arate Schools and Universities. .
Brought into the municipalities a
share of revenue from railway taxa-
tion.
Lowers the price of a set of Public
•school books, in one case from $1.30 to
49 cents,
Gotten under way revision of the
statutes, which when completed, will
be the greatest work 'of its kind ever
done in Canada.
Redeemed promises with reference
to new mining laws and brought into
the Government of this Province
thereby largo sums of money.
These are but some of the things
that have been accomplished, or are in
process of accomplishment, under an
administration that has done more
practical good for the Province than
was ever attempted in the three de-
cades of a Liberal administration at
Toronto.
Among other improvements, we
might mention the following ;—
The establishment of an experimen-
tal Farm in the Niagara District to in-
vestigate and experiment with vari-
eties and rnethods Vor the benefit of
the fruit and vegetable grower.
The organization of special Fruit In-
stitutes in fruit districts (Farmers' In-
stitutes specialized) giving what is
practically a short course in fruit cul-
ture.
The establishment of a Fruit Branch
of the Department of Agriculture, in
charge of a specialist (Director of
t ruit Industry), the same as for the
live stock industry, etc.
The granting of a bonus of $50 to
five or more persons co-operating to
spray their orchards to check the rav-
ages of insect pests and thus improve
the standard of the fruit product, In
1907, 81 associations were given grants
and 3,501 acres of trees were sprayed
under Department regulation.
The Agricultural College helps the
farmer thus :-
1—Makes surveys and supplies
plants for farm drainage. Demon-
strated drainage principles on 107
farms in 1907.
2—Identifies plants .and suggests
remedies for the extermination of
weeds and insects.
3—Supplies seed for improved vari-
eties of farm crops.
4—Conducts experiments in the pro-
pagation, cultivation and spraying of
fruit and vegetables.
5—Analyzes water, feed stuffs, and
fertilizers.
6—Tests quality of wheat and flour.
7—Supplies germs which enable the
farmer to grow large crops of the
clover family.
8—Grows and distributes forest trees
for the wood -lot.
9—Gives special instruction in the
handling and judging of live stock, in
the making of good butter and cheese,
in the production of eggs in winter.
—Mr. H. M. Yenning, Deputy -Com-
missioner of Fisheries, made the as-
tounding confession last week before
the Public Accounts committee, that
the lease to F. H. Markey, Montreal,
granting Great Slave Lake (eleven
thousand square miles) and many
other valuable rights extending for
over forty years, was signed by the
Minister and delivered without the
department having on file a duplicate
or even a copy of the lease. Mr. Mar-
key, for an annual consideration of
ten dollars, secures exclusive fishing
privileges in the Great Slave Lake,
Mackenzie, Nelson and other northern
waters. On the day the lease was
signed, it was transferred to the Bri-
tish American Fishing Company 1
How does that strike you ?
A COMPARISON OP DEBT.
The following comparison is inter-
esting,showing as it does, that under
Liberal rule the debt of Ontario in-
creased, while under Mr. Whitney it
has been reduced :
Debt in 1891 „$3,220,420
1808 5,046,911
" 1000 5,214,698
" 1001 5,870,840
1902 6,816,619
" 1903 6,675,931
1901 6,713,057
The obligation grew beeausof the
inability: of the Government to meet.
the annual payments as they fell due.
Ono of the consequences of the un-
fortunate state of the ijnatices was a
restricted credit. In 1001 an `effort
was made to float a $6,000,000 loan to
meet the cost of constructing the
Temiskarning Railway. The best offer
the Government could get for it Was
93, That this was rttinously low, the
fact that the Whitney Government
afterwards sold the satire bonds for
981 clearly indicates,
Since Mr. Whitney camp into pow«
er, the debt has been reduced instead
of increased, ITere are the reductions :
Debt in 1001' $6,718,937
mI II id off in 1905 1900 $22.3,760
" " 1907, 223,760
Total wet $671,280
Debt reduced tor„ ..... , , $0,04;i,37rr
—By the Whitney Government 525,-
000 acres of land granted to the Grand
Trunk Pacific for nothing by Mr. A.
G. Mackay and the Ross Administra-
tion have been recovered. By the.
Whitney Government pulp conces-
sions made by Mr. Mackay and the
Ross Administration to Toronto law-
yers have been taken back and one of
them has been sold for $300,000 cash.
By the 'Whitney Government Cobalt
Lake, comprising 31 acres, was sold by
public tender for $1,085,000 ; by the
Ross Government, aided by Mr. A. G.
Mackay, Peterson Lake was sold—for
$750. By the Whitney Government
timber has been sold on the basis of
the cut for a sum equal to $00,000 per
square mile ; by the Ross Government
aided by Mr. A. G. Mackay, the high-
est,price obtained for timber was $31,-
500 `per square mile. These changes
cone from having a business Adtninis-
tration.

To those who consider the temper-
ance issue as supreme, Mr. McKay
must be more objectionable than 1\1r'.
Whitney. It was due to his leading
that the Ross Government abandoned
prohibition, violating pledges of three
Premiers, and reversing the declared
policy of as many Liberal Govern-
ments. Mr. Whitney has at least
been frank and straight -forward on
this question. In and out of office he
has maintained the same attitude on
it. He has stood out against a prohib-
itory law and contended for the rigid
enforcement of the license law. Is it
better to support a man who promises
everything and concedes' nothing,
than to support one who defines his
position clearly and unequivocally,
and lives up to pledges which are not
so radical as the advocates of prohibi-
tion desire? Admiration for candor
and courage is inherent in the British
race. Is it possible that connection
with the temperance movement des-
troys this quality ? We think not.
The reverse should be the case. The
men and women who devote them-
selves to this propaganda are among
the self-denying reformers of the day.
Their zeal has no selfish basis. They
are engaged in an effort to improve
the conditions of life in Canada. Such
men and women may feel a sense of
disappointment at their views being
set aside, but surely they are able to
recognize and admit the honesty of
purpose that shines through Mr.
Whitney's words, and is crystallized
in his policy. The time will come
when, with an opposition frankly
committed to a prohibition policy
they must cast their ballots for such a
party. That period does not seem to
have arrived.

. edoing the larg soa can reach
In
w
no other conclusion than that it would
be a calamity to drive the Whitney
Government from power in order to
put in office a party led by a man of
the type of Mr. McKay.
Appeals are being made through-
out Ontario to "strengthen the Oppo-
sition" in the Logislatttre. The Oppo-
sition is certainly weak, but it§ chief
weakness has not been numerically
altogether ; it has lacked men of
force. On this point, the Toronto
Telegram • remarks :---"Mere ntunbet•s

and 'ideals 1)0 make an Opposition.
Ontatio cannot secure "a stronger
Opposition" by adding to the numbers
of the A. G. 14IcEay following. It
was not for lack of numbers that the
Opposition failed to 'become a
power in the land. It was quality,
not quantity, that the Ontario Opposi-
tion lacked. Its leadership lacks cour-
age and ability, its following lacks
Meals: Ontario cannot create '°a

more partisan fossils to help the
Me1tay leadership."

This gave a Conservative majority
of 203. Very few, however, even the
most sanguine, expect as large a ma-
jority this tirne, from the fact that at
the last election there was a general
feeling of revulsion at the election in-
iquities` of the Ross administration as
revealed by the Courts, and many
Liberals, by their ballot, showed their
disapproval of the methods practiced.
