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. in an address replete with humor- ous umorous sad graphic illusta-stione of the 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 he benefited. he said. 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. Alter the meeting had elected officers for the next year and received the an- nual reports, plans were discussed for the advancing of tax reform, those sakles pert in the discussion includ- ing Wastes Neilson, M.

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- form. In Mr. N. W. Rowell, the re- port Bald. the cause of tax reform hau a most ardent advocate. ' 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.

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. w/ATER mimeo AND WleTER RA RLEY.

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. Distribution of Material for Experiments in 1912. As long as the supply lasts, material will be distributed free of charge in the order- in which the application. ars received from Ontario farmers wishing to experiment and to report the results of any one of the following tests: 1, three varieties of winter wheat: 2, two varieties of winter rye; 3, five fertilisers with winter wheat: 4, autumn and spring applica- tions of nitrate of soda and common salt with winter wheat; 5, winter emmer and winter rye : 6, hairy vetches and winter rye as fodder crops. The size of each plot is to be one rod wide by two rods long. Material for numbers 3 ,u,d 4 will be sent by express and tbat for the others by mail C. A. ZAN'ITZ O. A. C. Guelph, Qnt..
