M. Croskery Outlines Measures Taken to Improve Ontario Co. Potato Crop Reports of a successful com- mencement of the Kiwanis Daddy work being carried on by the Ki- wanis Club of Oshawa among un- der-privileged boys of the city were received by the club at its week- ly noon luncheon today. The Ki- wanians were received favorably in most homes, the mothers or guard- 'ans of the hoys in most cases real- izing that the Kiwanians were ac- tually interested in the welfare of | the boys. The speaker at W. M. Croskery, presentative of Ontario County, who spoke of the work done in the Uxbridge vicinity in improving the potato crop situation. Last year 125 boys grew certified potatoes of one variety, with the assistance of Kiwanis clubs that supplied the cert'fied seed. "The trouble with the present situation among Ontario potato growers, is that too many varieties of potatoes are grown and the erop is not properly graded," declared ' Mr, Croskery, "Prince Edward Is- land and castern potatoes always secure a premium over the Ontario product, even in this province, be- cause a retailer can buy straight carload lots of one variety, well graded and d:cpendable." Around Uxbridge there is a real potato growing area. Mr. Croskery said. and last year, with the co-op- eration of the Downtown and West Toronto Kiwanis Clubs of Torontg, 125 boys of Uxbridge, Zephyr and Goodwood were supplicd with one bag of certified Dcoley seed pota- toes each, with the understanding that they were to return two bags in the fall to the Kiwanian furn- ishing the seed. The yield averag- ed 120 bushels per acre, ag com- pared with the ordinary average of 76 bushels per acre for the vicinity and the potatoes were shown both at the potato fair at Uxbridge and at the Royal Winter Fair. The boys were heing taught, said Mr. Croskery, to us: good, certified seed, to plant one variety, and to sell potatoes of one grade-- Canada A. A real object lesson was furnished when the potatoes were sold to a Toronto house at a premium of nearly 50 cents per bushel over the ordinary run of last scason's crop. Since there was a Kiwanis club now in Oshawa, right within the county, Mr. Croskery assured the members that he would be pleased to link up with the Oshawa club in any work it wished to do for agri- cultural educational work among the boys of the county, and invit- ed the agricultural committee of the club to discuss the subject with bim. On behalf of the elub, Ewart Everson assured Mr. Croskery that the Oshawa club would give favor- able consideration to it. CITIZENS WARNED BY CITY ENGINEER TO PAY WATER BILLS the luncheon was agricultural re- Notification has been issued by the city waterworks department that water rates for the Jamuary guar.er are overdue, and that citi- zens who have not paid their bill are liable to find themselves with- out water supply. City Engineer W. C. Smith states that the depart- ment has liently allowed the bills to remain considerably over the due date, because it was rea.ized that this is the slack season of the year from a revenue standpoint for many citizens, but he urges house- holders to either pay their account or make arrangements with the Waterworks department regarding 2 date of payment, at omce, s0 that the department may avoid shutting off the supply.

All records for surplus earnings were surpassed in 1928, the figures showing the substantial sum of $4,- 888,816 -under this head, as compared to $4,501,387 in 1927, an increase of more than $387,000, They amounted to $49.84 per $1,000 of assets.

That the management of the com- pany's affairs has been farsighted is shown by the rate of interest carn- ed on the Company's investments, which, at 0.30 per cent., has been well maintained in the face of steadily de- clining interest rates.
