From it 1 we learn tint ther; will he no re- duction of taxation this year. Itjs proposed to borrow 35 million dol- lars this year, 10 millions of which are for building highways. Nearly nine million dollars more was ex- pended last year than in tl e ^previous year, yet there was a surplus of $;I,0()4 ) .i2() on hand. The present government h;.s doubled the amount of revenuef The above (iff tires do not show any evidence of retrenchment, although the Treasurer promised retrenchment this year ; and there is a glimmer of hope in the follow- ing statement from his lips: ''I think it is lime that people realised that the war is over and that they get back to normal in the matter of spending." To this sentiment we would say " hear, hear!" and we would advise the Hon. Peter to have the senti- ment printed on a placard and tacked up on the door of every spending department in his govern- ment. It might be well, too, to have forty or fifty copies scattered around the Legislative chamber just prior to voting on the sessional bonus to members. next Feversham, Ontario FIRE PROTECTION i i ii. i: iJ Valley has purchased a lire fighting apparatus at an expeiuli- SOY BEANS IN ONTARIO its Seed Production Here Is Yet Rather Uncertain.

Soy beans cau be successfully j.'own for fodder in Southwestern Ontario and in the Niagara Peniii- i'jla, and in favored areas even far- ther north. The production of seed f the Soy bean in Ontario Is a more uncertain problem. In good seasons, Brat-class seed of a number of varie- ties have been produced at Guelph, ind iu poor seasons no matured seed was obtained from uuy variety. Soil luoculalion Necessary. Soy beans are very rich in nitro- sfpu, the seed bavins a higher protein content than either common beans or Held peas. This plant id a legume, and when planted for the Ural 'time should tju inoculated with the proper uitroK'iii tiling bacteria. TUe Soy bean has varied uses, the whole crop being grown for hay. pasture, silage, and sroen manure, aud the seed for stock feed. In the Orient, the seed is grown not only for stock feed, but to an even larger extent for human consumption. I t.r Hay, SilnKf, Paxture or Seed. Soy beans have been grown for fodder and seed production in the experimental plots at Guelph since 1S94, and have been distributed through the medium of the Experi- mental Union to farmers of Ontario each year for the past twenty-three years. During the past five years, the moat promising varieties under tect at Guelph hare been the O. A. C. No. 211, Ito Sail, Minnesota No. 157, Early, Brown and K;irly Yellow.
