stated that over $4 000.000 had been
xpended since 1 01 for these purposes.
THIS YOUNG FARMER
The House commenced the put week
•ilh a firm determination to get through
by Thursday evening. and astonishing
progress was m8de when once that deter •
-
mination was arrived at. A night session
was held in addition to the usual after-
noon
fter
noxi session every day of the week, and
to further ensure the canclusicn of busi-
ness before Easter a mornilg session was
arranged for Wednesday.
Early in the week several important
bills were introduced. One matter upon
which great interest turns is tax proposal
of the Attorney -General to alter the
present election law so as to abolish the
eight weeks ince' vetting between nomin-
ation day and election day. The Liberal
Opposition has oppoeed the long interim
from the outset, and has been agitating
for a change back to the old system, not
only in connection with the time be-
tween nomination day and polling day but
also so far as the method of making up the
voters' lists is concerned. Liberals de-
sire to do away with the un-atisfactory
system of enumerators. It transpires that
the sum of $5,560 00 was paid to simmer
ators in the N. E. Toronto by-election,
and $3,383.11 in connection with the, E.
York by-election.
Another interesting bill which elicited
_ somewhat ironic congratulations from the

duced by the Prime Minister o pro

The new list of publications of the
Department of Agriculture at Ottawa
contains titles of about three bundled
bulletins. circulars and other pamphlets
that deal with as icultural practices.
These cover the whole range of agricul-
tural and horticultural pursuits, including
dairying, field crop+, live stock. orchard
and garden crops, poultry, insects and
plant disease, farm building construction.
farm machinery and many other topics.
The subjects are arranged alphabetically
under general titles. Not only are the
lists themselves available from the Pub-
lications [Branch of the Department, but
any of the publications therein contained.
According to the figures compiled by
the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, British
Columbia ranks first among the Provinces
of Canada in value of farm land per acre.
The average value in British Columbia,
including both improved and unimproved
land, together with dwelling houses,
barns, stables and other farm buildings. is
$IW. Quebec and Ontario have the
s •me average per acre. viz., $57. in
Prince Edward Island the value is 144. in
Nova Scotia it is $36. in New Brunswick
=:t.5. in Manitoba $32, in Saskatchewan
$29. and in Alberta 128. The (act that
British Columbia leads is attributed by
the bureau to the large pmportian of the
land in the Pacific Coast Province that is
given up to orcharding it may be. too,
that a good deal of the alleged value is
realty a speculative one. The average

compared with 144 in 1917. $41 in 191(1.

The Referendum.
A bill to provide for the holding of a
referendum upon the Ontario Temper
ance Act was passed. Mr. William
Pr oudfoot. the leader of the Opposition,
criticized the Government for not con-
sulting the Liberals wben drafting the
referendum hill. He pointed out that it
watonly through the co-operation of the
Opposition that it had been possible to
rlace the legislation upon the statute
book. Mr. Proudfoot called the atten-
tion of the House td the fact that at the
time the Ontario Temperance Act was
passed there was only one question to be
submitted to the people, namely. "Are
you in favor of the repeal of the (Solaria
Temperance Act?"' Now the Govern-
ment was placing three other questions
before the people, and there was the
ptbbability that multiplicity of questions
would cause confusion. The Liberal
leader did not approve the provision for
rejecting a ballot if all the questions were
not answered. Mr. Proudfoot was joined
by Mr. Sam Carter of South Wellington
in his protest against the rejection of
ballots. Ile thought the question having
the largest number of votes should carry.
However, it was not desired by the Op-
position to place obstacles in the way of
the Government, and after some minor
discussion the responsibility was left with
