The viesory was so com-

Leonard Oatbwaite•s Victory.
The speaker also referred to the
comfortable majority that had been
given to Leonard Outhwaite, who fav-
ored"the taxation of land values. and
added that if ever there was a man
qualified to represent the workingmen
of England it wan Outhwaite.
Speaking of the fight that has been
waged against the vested interests
and monopolies of Eogl.nd, he said
that the trate of the United States
were as nothing compared with -them.
yet they were encouraged because, the
young even of England were taking an
interest in living issues. Their hope
lay in the Brotherhood movement,
with all tbe best types of producers
wanting to know what their position
in the universe ie and what are their
nwtural rights. Once having it estab-
lished in their own winds that they
had natural rights ' they asserted
theuuselves. At night schools every
winter tboueande of them were study-
ing economics. When they got these
young men, with their knowledge of
conditions and their determination to
make things as they should be, they
cared not for vested interests. They
would shift them.
Urged Tax Reform Candidata.
• Mr. Buchanan thought the time was
ripe for the application of the prin-
ciples they had been so long advocat-
ing. He was sure the three Prairie
Provinces were ready for laws far in
advance of any on the statute books
today, and urged the nomination of
candidates for election to the Provin-
cial Legislatures. 1t was time to atop
going with their cape in their hands
asking the reactionaries to do some-
thing, he said.
General Ignorance to Blame.

ous

workings of the single -tax system,
James R. Brown of New York pro-
moted the subject in a manner which
made it. elear to all. During the
course of a lengthy speech be said
that all human activity was registered
in the value of land and the economic
value was always gathered in by the
landlords. 11 there was -anything to
blame for present conditions it was
general ignorance. The whole older
of things could be changed without
chaos or disorder and without injus-
tice to anybody, but everybody would

DM:eased Plans foe Reform.
The third annual meeting of tbe
League, which was held yesterday
afternoon. was attended by delegates
from all parts of the Province. Stew-
art Lyoo, the president, presided.

nual reports, plans were discussed for

The report mentioned the fact that
there was a growing demand from the
publio for iefurmation cuucerniag tax
/reform, and expressed the belief the
the tiovernment could not isomer the
question much longer, as Liberals and
Conservatives alike 444 sbown them-
selves to he in eympathy with the re-

Progress Made in Ontario.
In his presideptiel address Mr. Lyon
spoke of the prrese which had been
made in the Province of Ontario dur-
ing tbe past year. and urged the need
for men who believed that the com-
munity creates the value of land, and
that the taxes should go to the muD-
icipality W be used in defraying the
cost of public improvements and utili-
ties. They hada good deal of support,
he said, in the Liberal party, and more
in the Nonservative party than some
people imagined.
L. B. Walling reported that souse
thirty firms in different parts of Ont-
ario had signified willingness to sup-
port the League's policy regarding
business tear reform.
Encouraging Words from Delegates.
The reports of delegates from outsid.-
points were most encouraging. Ale.
Johnson of London said they hoped
soma to forum an aseoeiatioa in that
city, white J. J. Hurley of Brantford
declared Uses the people were begio-
ei•g to grasp toe pprritncipke of taxa-
tion ane were studying the question
as never before. J. J. Mornson of
the (Waage was convinced that over
ninety per cent of the tarsen were
tbeseaebly in favor of abolishing the
pwMt system of aesewweg farm ouild-
iatiP. and the majority of the oranges,
if not all, were in favor of tax refornd.
Aoctading to Stewart Muir, there
could rot be any doubt to an honest,
lsveetigating mired that the problem
of taxation bad become so acute in
Ontario that it had to no faced by one
party or the other. He knew of no
social luestUon which was attracting
mors attention than that of tax re-
form.

O. A. C. BULLETIN.
Results of Experiments with Autumn
Sown Crops throughout Ontario.
Three hundred and twenty-eight
tanners throughout Ontario conducted
experiments with autumn sown crops
during the past year. Reports have
been received from thirty-one of the
counties of the Province. The average
results of the carefully conducted ex-
periments with autumn sown crops
are here presented in a very concise
form.
WINTER WHEAT. . .
Five varieties of winter wheat were
distributed last autumn to those
farmers who wished to test some of
tbe leading varieties on their own
farms. The average yields per acre
of straw and of grain are as follows :
Imperial Amber. 1,5 tons, 24.3 bur.
American Yonder, 1.6 tone, 21.8 bus. ;
Crimean Red. 1.9 tons, 21.6 bus, :
Banatka, 1.1 tons, 21.2 bus. ; and
Tasmaoia Red, 1.8 tons, 21.0 bus.
It will be seen that the Imperial
Amber has again given good reedits
throughout Ontario as well as at the
Ontario Agricultural College. The
American Wonder; which gave an
average of two and a -half bushels per
acre less tbaa the Imperial Amber, is
a white -grained variety resembling
very closely the Dawson's Golden
Chaff. The Crimean Red winter
wheat has been grown at the College
for ten year s, snd is one which yields
very well indeed. It poeseeses wheat
of excellent quality, but the straw is
somewhat weak. The Banatka
produce• grain of excellent quality for
bread production.
WINTER RYE.
Two varieties of winter rye were
distributed in the autumn of 1911.
The results show that the Mammoth
White variety came at the held of
the list in yield of grain with
an aierage of 23.9 bushels per acre.
In experiment s throughout Ontario fur
Ilse last six years, the Mammoth
White -surpassed the common eve t`y
an annual average of fully four bushels
per acre.
FZRTTLIZERs WITH WINTER WHEAT.
In the co-operative experiments with
different fertilisers applied in the
autumn to winter wheat, the average
yields of grain per acre for eight yea.
ae as follows: Mixed fertile, lir(,o
ben, ; nitrate of Godes. 285 bus. ' truriate
of potash, 21, 5 bus. ; sed Guparpbos-
phate. 21.2 bus. On dmllar land cow
manure, at the rate of twenty tone
per acre. gave an averageield of 2.8
bus. per sere. and the land which
received neither fertilisers nor manure
gave an average of 18.1 bus. per acre.
The .uperpboepbate was applied at
the rate of R90 Ibr. and the muriate of
Maaand the nitrate of soda each
lt. per acre. The mixed fertiliser
consisted of one-third of the quantity of
sae\ of the other three fertilizers here
mentioned. The uncal rout of the
fertilisers, es used in this elperiment,
is between four and live dollars per
acre.
in another erpm meet. It was found
that nitrate of soda applied in the
spring have 1.3 'Cashel. per acre
more than when applied in the autumn.
Nitrate of ends increased theleft of
wheat more than common salt whin
applied either in the autumn m in t.lir
spring.

HAIRT '"FTCHRe AND WINTER RYE
FOR FONDER.
Three grod reports have been re-
ceived from farmers who tested bairy
vetches and winter ,ys as fodder
crops. In each instance, the hairy
vetches gave a considerably larger
yield .of green crop per acre than the
winter rye, the average for the hairy
vetches being about 25 tone of Freon
crop. This large yield is due principally
to the comparativelywet, cool Bummer.
