ONTARIO LEGISLATURE.
In the first division of the present

Throne on Tuesday. sAm amend-
ment introdnced :by .Farquhar Oliver
UFO., Grey South, .seconded by T
K. Slack, Peogressive, Dufferin, went
down to an - inglorious defeat by a'
vote of Q5 -6t,, the entire Liberal
Group ,with the exception of Wm
Newnan, North" Victoria, who bolted
before the' vote was taken, voting
with the Government to register
what is probably a record and histor-
ical division for its size and fact that
W. E. N. Sinclair, Liberal Leader
endorsed the agricultural policy of
the government and its agricultural
committee,
The Oliver -Slack amendment ask-
ed that the House go on record, "re-
gretting the government's failure to
establish and maintain markets- for
farm products so that by increased'
selling t•olunnte the farther could me
his high overhead cost."
In winding up the debate, the thr
leaders, Preniier Henry, Mr, Sinclai
and H. C. Nixon spoke. They ha
been preceded by litJnt. Newman. an
J. Fred Reid, Conservative,Cls%indso
West.
Mr. Sinclair in delivering a mos
vigorous and determined speech d
pounced the amendment as an unfor
tunate episode coining as it did afte
the government had acted- on hi
suggestion to convert the Agricultur
Committee of the House into an en
quirt' cotntnittee. This cconnnftte
said air. Sinclair had held thre
meetings as an "economic commit
tee," and not as a political body, an
after the House had agreed on co
operative effort this session in a
honest endeavor to solve agriculture
problems and assist the farmer in hi
present-day difficulties.
"Trine Government is doing w -ha
we asked," said the Liberal Leader
"We cannot turn around and kick i
in the back. I think the people of
the province will agree with ane."
Mr. Nixon condemned the, govern-
ment for its milk policy, the gun
license policy, and the Government's
fight against Elmore Philpott, and
Mitchell Hepburn in the recent by-
elections in West Hamilton and
Grenville, From the lining up of the
Liberals with the Government and

quest that •a chain of cold storage

keting conditions ' of apiples. They
asked that these plants be built by

under whose 'direction the Depart-

Rates on this class of car will be
I reduced from two to twenty-six per
cent„ but rates on commercial: vehic-
les and fleets are to be increased in
view of the.findings of the 'Hod -gins
report that investigated .the rates.
Premiums written on private cars,it
is estimated will total $6,500,000,
while the estimated increase on rates
for commercial vehicles and fleets
will range about 12' per ,cent. The'
Hodgins commission, it was explain-
ed, cost about 560,000 -but in view of
the saving to the public this' year
under the new rates, AttorneysGener-
al !Price .declared the 'Commission
quite justified itself.
D. M. Hogarth, Con., 'Port ;Arthur,
in speaking on the debate on the
Speech from the 'Throne, urged to
the government to .appoint a com-
Mission -to- enquire into the workings

re An example which might well be
d followed in other counties is'that of
el, the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce
es
in issuing an annual Agricultural'
to Journal. ;'The 'third annual issue, has
d just been distributed free of charge to
'5,000 farmers in the county. It is an
at `eight -page publication and contains
lite a wealth of information relating to
of the farming industry. Almost every
u. phase• of agriculture as carried on in
- this county is discussed, such as pout-
- try breeding, reforestation, tobacco
-
1- raising, fertilizers, .fruit and vegetable
p growing. It also carries several in-
n formative articles by 0.A.C. author-
ities. Numerous pictures of local in-
n terest are used to brighten the. pages.
The local agricultural representative,
F. C. Paterson, who is also secretary
of of the Chamber of :Commerce, has
e, been largely responsible for the suc-
e cess of this valuable publication.
Should Check 'Fertilizer
This is the season for buying fer-
tilizers and it is important that far-
o niers should -know how to protect
d themselves in making sure that they
f are delivered the kind and ,analysis
of fertilizer which they purchase,
d The Federal fdrtilizers . act requires
e that every fertilizer' deliveredto a
✓ farmer must be labelled with the
e guaranteed' analysis in terms of ni-
e trogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
Therefore the farmer should check
- the guaranteed analysis of the fertil-
_ izerwhen it arrives: ' I,f short one per
cent., nitrogen lt, is, worth about $2.50
a'ton less than the purchase price and •
phosphoric acid and potash are worth

ers .are -'advised' '10 refuse •acceptance
of fertilizer which is not labelled pre-
cisely the same guarantees!:: analysis
as that purchased. Should any far-
mer have reason to doubt the value
of a- fertilizerdelivered to him, he is
advised to-communii:ate with the
nearest fertilizer inspector or the
district representative of agriculture.
"Sow Clean Seed
A recent survey shows that weeds
were responsible for a total loss of
between 150 and 200 million dollars
in Canada last year. The direct loss.
in crop actually displacedor killed
-out by weeds was over one hundred
millions; while the remainder was
made up of freight charges for car-
rying weed seeds along with-raiif,
clover and other craps, boss of mois-
ture, d,epreciatidlt of farm vtilua due
to weeds and the increase in cultivd-
tion necessary where these .soil rob-
bers were present. To mitigate this
loss, the land must be cleaned tip.
Careful pre -seeding cultivation will
clean up ordinary fields, while partial
sumaner fablow and the sowing of
smother crops like buckwheat, rape
and turnips are .recommended for
very bad patches of such tenacious
weeds as twitch attd sow thistle, A
clean seed bed, plus clean clover
seed and clean seed .grain of a high
standard of purity and germination
will give a big increase in yield over •
the other kind at practically no more
cost. Only clean, plump, vigorous
seed, tested and approved by Govern
mens authorities, should be used.
