There gathered a merry crowd

But each one knew and each one felt
the

Sonne were young and "merry and gay,
others with years were bowed,.
But they all held that same bright
outlook on life,
That they belonged to the Clan Mc-
' Lead.

0h the jokes

and ,

And their laugh was merry and loud;
Both friend and stranger could easily
Tell they belonged' to Clan McLeod
They danced and dined and feasted
and wined,
And lived over the days gone by,
And one of them very sagely remark-
ed it would soon be their time to die
And when earth'$' last picture is paint-

And we soar beyond stars and cloud,
We hope to meet all our loved ones

FROM OTTAWA.
The Bennett Government is finding
the responslibilit'res of office heavier
even than was anticipated. '
It will be recalled thatwhen the
budget for the current yeas was intro-
duced on May 1 by Hon. Charles
Dunning, no attempt;,. was made to
forecast revenues for the fiscal year
of 19304:1. Th`e fact had no paralle[
in the history of budgets and was to
be accounted i"tit' only by the lack of
desire ole the part of the .Governmen't
to forecast ,a heavy deficit, on what
t eveof n election,
roved to be bre a
p As early as May it was apparent
that a drop in national revenue of ap
pnoxintitely $55,000,000 was' inevitabl
and that the previeuS year's surplus
of $45,000,000 must give wayto a tee
ddfreit of at least x;10,000,000. Reven-
ues were rddeced over $15,000,000 a
year by the cancellation of tiquoe
clearances to the United States. Tar-
iff adjustments and restricted for-
eign trade, economic depression and
the collapse of the security markets
with consequent effect upon incomes,
as well, as eliattination of some forms
of taxation all coniibined to promise
lower revenues To this was added
a larger budget of expenditure than
ht the previous year.
\\fleet was indioated an May, 1 is
adore than borne out by the facts.
Customs receipts for July were o
$8,249,000, or nearly 30 per cent. from
the previous year, while for the 'first
four months of the fiscal year the
dropped ;22,1458'47. In the same
period exports from Canada • fell by
104,000,000 and imports by $30,000,
000.
Statistics : cohering Canadian' indu
trial production are not available but
it is known that contraction, as coin -
pared with the last three }rears, has
been heavy and is reflected in em-
ployment conditions.
Front the standpoint of the farmer
P fav-
orable
hs,ve not been mote fan•-
orable than for the industrialist. If
open competition With. the world for
the British market is to be relied up-
on prices for wheat will pro•blabl • be
lower than last} •ear a position which
is indicated by the action of the w'hea
pool in making the lowest initial pay
item on record for wheat from the
1930 drop.
Udder the auspices of the \Ianito'b
Pool an agitation -has been statute
looking to close Government contro
of gram marketing through the Win
nipeg grain exchange. The matter
has not been formally pressed upon
the nets Government, nor is there an
possibility that action along such
lines could be made effective during
the present crop year,
An interesting side -light on agricul
tural peob:ents is the number of "sol-
utions of the wheat situation which
have been gratuitously tendered the
Bennett ministry since 1t took. office,
Naturally, most of them are entirely
impractical but ottt of the welter may
conte suggestions 'cape ble of useful
application in meeting the biggest in
dividual economic problem confront
ing the Dominion.
***
The unemployment situation i
Canada has not been improved dur
ing the las: feur months by . immigra
tion activities. One of the first acts
of the Bennett regime on taking of
lice was to suspend "immigration into
Canada until such time as internel
conditions justify the entry of more
prospective citizens. Between Marc
31 and July 31, however, ;8273 people
were admitted' as immigrants and the
majority of these have either taken
positions which would have been av-
ailable to people here, or they are
numbered among the unemployed.
The program of legislation to be
presented to the special session of
Parliasnent to meet temporarily the
unemployment situation is nearing
completion, largely under the coope-
ration of the departments of labor
and public works. The Government
is confident of its non -contentious na-
ture and expects that it will be dis-
posed of within two weeks.

Autumn Sown Crops
As a foreword to a review of' ex-
periments- with th autum
n sown crops at
O.A.C., W. J. Squirrel professorof
field husbandry, says: 'Extremely
dry weather during the latter part of
August and the month of September
was responsible for considerable de-
crease in the area of winter wheat
gown in Ontario in 1929. :'Winter kill-
ing, although severe in some districts,
seems to have been about average for
the province. 'Growing conditions
since early spring have been excellent
and winter crops were harvested'
under exceptionally good conditions.
Very slight damage was caused this

The Crop Situation.
1 r iso f crop condi tions for_the
latter part ,of August indicate chat the
,,
Showers which fell inmost sections of
Southwestern Ontario were badly
needed, as pastures had been, burnt up
and ro'dt crops were suffering severely
foe lack of moisture. `Harvesting
throughout the province" has been
cotrmleted and excellent, yields are re -
ported. •Alfa'lfa, alsikd and clovers
ydeldled very satisfactorily, as high as
nine bushels per acre of red clover
having been reported in Kenora dist-
rict, Many drovers and cattlemen
have reported' Iseavy losses on their
grass cattle, due to low prices and
scarcity of pastime. Nlany are hold -
ing Eben' e'attie over for the Christmas
trade. !Some excellent crops of bar -
ley, oats and Mixed grains have been
harvested this season. In Norflok
•Comity one farmer secured a yield, of
14317 bushels of :oats from' a 15 -acre
field,'or nearly 100 bushels per acre.

Bu Home-grown Products
lAnnouruyn ent has been made by
Premier Ferguson that the'Govern-
merit will launch an extensive edu-
cational campaign "to en'couragee " the
buying and eating. of Canadian pito-
ducts in Ontario.-Radioj lecture staffs
and, view spapers will all figure in the
program. 9We 'are determined,;"
said the Prime Minister, "to show to
the' people the real qualities' of our
productsto dem'onststate Uhe value cf
our ow a, markets and to Drove Uo
• them the advantages of buying at
.home. .In short we .want to establish
greater- measure of co-operation be-
twieen.,consunier and. producer." In
commenting upon the projected cam-
paign, one in which the large Ontario
distributors of food will be asked to
ister of Agrfcufture, said that most
Canadians would be as'ton'ished at the
amount toe foodstuffs imported at the
very time of year when Canadians are
producing similar products. An ex-
tea slice of bread a day would help to
take care of surplus Canadian wheat
he stated, and unemployment would
be relieved considerably by vigorous,
prosecution of the campaign in nnind'
Valuable 'O.A.C. Exhibit
Takingas its keynote the crop-
producing power of Ontario soils, the
OAC. Department of Chemistry ex
Whit at the C.N.E. has attracted great
attention, It embodies a huge cornu -
copia picturing the fertile soils of On -
tarty pouring forth hundreds of thou-
sands of bushels of wheat, oats, and
barley and thousands of toils of pota-
toes, roots, corn, vegetables, hay and
other products. A dant mapaft the

ws Ute ocation of the
1,100 fertility test plots which the de -
partment is operating throughout On -
larva This year with nearly every
crop grown in Ontario On these plots,
a wide variety of fertilizers havebeen
applied on the farmers' own lands un -
der their own conditions. Field re -
Presentatives ensure accurate applica-
tion of fertilizers and equally accur-
ate harvesting of test areas. The re-
cords show interesting and valuable
figures. ,Meadows fertilized wi'th a
high nitrogen fertilizer gave an in -
ease of •45 per cent, in yield, while
alfalfa fertilized with high potash fer-
tilizers gave an increase of 2% tons
per acre over the unfertilized area. In
the fall wheat fertility tests, the av-
erage yield of all fet'tilized plots was
44 beetle's per acre, weighing 60.4
pounds per bushel. The yield of tin -
fertilized wheat was 34 bushel, weigh -
ting 59.8 pounds per bushel.
The functions of the main plant -
food elements were admirably shown
by crops growing in plant solutions,
and the pasture fertility work in ope-
ration in connection with the college
farm claimed considerable interest.
Soil testing for acidity and general
discussion of soil survey work pro -
vided much valuable information for
callers.
