FARM CROPS.
zee esenomestTXON off' NE'w VARIETIES.
To the Editor of the Exeter Timm
Sni,--There is probably no work under-
taken by the Agricultural Experiment
Stations at thepresent time of so much
value to the farmer as this which relates
to the reduction and testing of new varie-
ties of the seed of the various kinds of farm
erons. The tendency to deterioration with
nearly all kinds of crops as grown at pre-
sent is all welt understood by farnters that
they are constantly on the lookout for a
change of need. It is very importantthat
when such change is made it will have re-
ference to varieties, the superior value of
which has been demonstrated by repeated
test. In the introduction and testing of
these varieties, to say nothing of the
origination of others, the experiment sta-
tions will find work, which, like the story.
in the fable, will never have an end.
The Bulletin recently issued by our
Stations on `Experiments with Spring
Grass" bring out some facts relating to the
introducing of new varieties which should
receive the careful attention of every tiller
of the soil. Reference is made therein to
the testing of 81 varieties of oats for three
years. The larger number of these were
imported from Europe and other:countries,
but all the leading Canadian varieties that
could be obtained were tested with them
and under similar conditions. By Cana-
+ + f dian varieties, I mean those which have
The real burden of the public debt been grown in this country for a number
of years. Of the 81 varieries thus tested,
we find that the 9 varieties taking the
lead are !from imported seed; and they
give an average of 41 1/5 bus. per acre more
each year than the best of the old sort
grown previously. And this superiority
in several of the impeded varieties is not
confined to oats. W 'e find results very
similar with barley. With barley, the 5
varieties taking the lead are imported; and
if we include the Scotch Imported, which
has not been in the country formerly years,
we have 12 imported varieties ahead of the
common :six•rowed Ontario barley, which
stands first amone the old varieties hither-
to grown. These 12 varieties gave au
average of 4e bushels per acre per year
over her Ontario six-rows.The comparis-
on of the imported varieties of spring
wheat grown with the old sorts has been
carried on virtually for but two years, but
the results obtained point in the same
direction. Some of the imported varieties
bave thus far taken the lead- The seed of
some of thews varieties have already been
widely distributed. There can be but one
result. The old varieties which have serv-
ed their day will be discarded and others
of superior merit grown in their place.
When the superiority of the more newly
introduced varieties has been demonstrated
by the experiment station the general in-
troduction of this is accelerated insomuch
that in a few years the ground of improved
varieties may become general, a work that
requires several years to effect, before the
establishment of Experiment Stations. It
is true some of these varieties ;will not be
Total, 4,355 4,549 4,632 equally well adopted to all parts of the
country, but it is e,wally true that, owing
to the large number of sorts which is being
continually brought, into the country,
some of them will be found specially
adapted to the wants of each locality.
The influence of this work upon the pro-
fits of our Agriculture cannot he consider-
able. The continuous introduction of im-
proved sorts of grains and seeds of various
kinds cannot but increase materially the
yields per acre. If we put this annual.
iucrease of the different kinds of cereals at
but one bushel per acre, which is surely
not extravagant, what do we get? The
crops on the basis of the acreage ground in
1891 would be increased as follows :
Winter wheat 849956 bus.
Spring wheat 510634 e

The Parry Sound Star (Lib.) has also
come to the conclusion that the party's
policy of commercial surrender to the
United States was the chief cause of the
dis'istr,'us defeats sustained in the late
by-elections. "Unrestricted. reciproci-
ty," it says, "must go, and some policy
must be formulated looking to the ex-
tension of trade without loss of national
dignity and prestige,"

The vote iu the recent South Perth
election was the largest ever recorded.
Compared with the figures of the two
previous elections the reeord stands thus:

The Globe says discrimination against
the United States may provoke retalia-
tion, and warns the country of the con
sequences that would result therefrom.
But this same journal has for years been
urging the people of Canada to diecrim-
ihate against Great Britain in favor of
the United States, and this advice was
not accompanied by one word of warning
as to the possible consequences that
might result from the adoption of that
policy.
* r
Canada is now the only country in
the world which has the right of sending
cattle on the hoof to inland towns in
Britain. This right is worth ten to
twelve dollars a head on every beast
sent over. But for the recent action
taken by the Canadian Government in
regard to American cattle entering
British Columbia our people would not
have the peculiar advantage now ac-
corded them in the English market.

The Argus, of Albany, N. Y., says the
tax imposed on Canadian barley has
done fivefoli more damage to that city
than all the fires that have occurred
there since the McKinley bill became
law. Albany is not the only city in the
United States that has suffered from the
same cause, and the indications are that
Congress will this session reduce the
tariff to the old figure and thereby bene-
fit both the Canadian producer and the
American consumer.

A grateful country gives to each sur-
viving veteran of the war of 1812-15 the
magnificent pension of thirty dollars per
annum. Tbis heavy draught upon our
generosity will not long ;continue, how-
ever, since in 1889 there were 104 of
these old warriors still in the land of
the livino,while in 1891 there were but
41 left. Of the survivors five are 100
years of age and upwards, the oldesb
being 107. The youngest is 89 and the
majority range between 93 and 100.

The line between the tfeo parties in.
Dominion politics was tnore clearly
drain during the short debate on the
budget than at any tune previous to that
date. Eton. Mr. Foster bad just stated
`'die result of the Washington mission
that reciprocity with the United States
could only be had by agreeing to admit
American manufactured articles free of
custom tax while collecting any duty on
British goods that the Government of
the United States miuht choose for
us. To this Sir Richard Cartwright
promptly replied that his party is quite
prepared to pay the price demanded by
the Americans, The rejoinder of the
Government was that they would not do
so, bub would, instead, look to a prefer
ential trade arrangement wibh Great
Britain. At last, then, there is a clear
issue between the parties. The Con-
servatives are for a policy of preferential
trade with the Mother Country and
protection against the United States.
The Liberals are for free trade with the
United States and discrimination against
Britain.

Reducing the Co. Council..
There is no doubt that the Councils of
many of our counties have grown to an un-
wieldy size. The county council of Bruce
has 45 members; of Huron, 50 members ;
of Middlesex, 49 members ; of Oxford, 35
members ; of Grey, 50 ; of Northumber-
land and Durham, 49 members. The bill
by which it is proposed to reduce the num-
ber should meet with the entire approval
of all who favor a ridical reduction in the
number thereof. The measure consists of
two parts, the first points out the means
for bringing the law into effect, and the
second the means for the election of county
councils on a new basis. The county clerk
shall, at the next municipal election' Jan.,
1893, irrespective of the vote or opinion
of the council, submit to the electors of
the municipality by ballot the question
" Are you in favor of adopting the County
Couucils Act of 1892? " If the majority
of the people vote for it it will come into
force. If the people in smaller counties
do not desire to reduce the number of
councillors they may reject the question.
