THOS. CLAYTON FLESHERTON, - ONTARIO ! m Rev. Chas. Gordon On Church Union St. Stephen's Church, Winnipeg, Fcb 12, 1923 To the Hditor of The Advance : Dear Sir, It has been intimated to me that a report is being circulated that I recently stated that I believed the church was :'ot ripe for union. I desire to categorically deny the correctness o! any such report. Ever since the meeting of the Assem- bly of 1921 I 'have held (Irmly to the opinion that not only is (he church ripe for Union, but that any delay for delay's sake, or any delay in the hope of bring- ing together the negotiating churches in any other scheme than that of organic union, would seriously endanger the well-being of the church and the inter- ests of true religion in the country. There was u time during this long period of negotiations when I confess 1 was impatient with the Anti-Unionists and regarded them as pursuing a course- not only unjustified, hut wholly mis- chievous. I want to frankly say that 1 have changed ir.y mind on this point. I do not think that the long delay has been wholly injurious. The church in thus proceeding witn extreme delibera- tion has shown its desire to consider the feelings and, indeed, the prejudices if I may use the word without offence of the brctheren opposed to Union. But now, while 1 am unwilling to wound or grieve brctheren in our church who do not sec eye to'eye with me rc~ parding the necessity for Church Union, and wnilc I would ilo everything poss- ible to win them to my way of thinking, I have come to the solemn conviction that the limit of delay has been reached and that there is nothing now for the church to do hut to march steadily for- ward along lints of constitutional pro- cedure, to consummate what I believe will be an event which will be fruitful in spiritual life and vigour, and which will greatly advance the kingdom of God in our country and the lands overseas I am going to resolutely cherish the hepc that, however deep may be their ulTection for the old church, in uhoaQ history and in whose service we 'glory, the vast majority of those whom we now call Anti- Unionists will come to feel that on the whole they will Jgain infinitely more than they give up by moving into Union.

Of Most ViUne When Cut Karly Oat Straw Beat of the Cereals Old and Musty Straw Not Desirable for Live Stock Feedln*. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) The Quantity of straw consumed by the live stock of Ontario amounts to many thousand tons each year. It Is Important as a feed, but unfortun- ately Its value IB frequently over- rated. Straws, the by-products of different grains, have different -values. The line of: demarcation between hays, straws and fodders is not clear, but generally speaking straw is ftie by-product of ripened grain or forage plauts, being made up of the dry leaves and stems. The nearer the plant is to the mature condition at time of harvest the low.er the feed- Ing value, because of the concentra- tion of the nitrogenous and fat pro- perties in the developing and ripening seed. Straw Heat When Cut Early. The straw from over-ripe grain is generally hard in character, unpalat- able and indigestible; while the straw from grains cut on the green side are aofter, more palatable, and gen- erally contain a higher percentage of digestible matter. The hard condition of some varieties of straw causes such to be almost useless as a feed. Even if such fodder has a feed value, that value cannot he satisfactorily ex- tracted by the digestion processes of our domestic animals. Varieties of Straw Fed. The straws generally used for stock feeding are oat, barley, wheat, pea and clover. Others auch as timothy, flax, bean and rye straws are some- times used, but with indifferent re- sults. Oat straw, the best of .the var- ious straws for feeding, carries con- siderable feed value as Indicated by chemical analysis, but unfortunately a large percentage of the nourishing Properties cannot be extracted by the digestion processes of oar domestic animals. What is true of oat straw is more pronounced with the other varieties of straw, the harder nud drier such are the loss the animals can extract from them. Oat Straw 1 a Good liulky FIMN). Oat straw can be used aa n fet-d for cuttle, horses aiul sheep, during the autumn and winter period to supply bulk and some nourishment to the ration. Dry cattle can use laree amounts of oat straw aa a main- tenance feed. Horses that are. not at work can uae oat straw, as a large part of their ration. Straw is too bulky for horae at moderate or haru work. IJarley straw, if free from beards. i.n.k next to oat straw an a feed, and may be used as a roughage, but a good part of the animal mainten- ance must come from some other .SJUI'C.-. Wheat Straw 1'oorer Also K>c. Wheat straw has a lower value than barley straw, and serves to give bulk and a small part of the required nourishment to the animal. Wheat straw as a supl'femeiit to roots and silage fli winter feeding plays an im- portant part in tho maintenance of young and dry stock. Hye straw is generally so hard and indigestible as to be of little use us a stock feed. Clover and other legume straws while containing compounds of considerable feed value are frequently so hard and unpalatable that the animal can make- only partial use of them. Tea and vetch straws are gent-rally the most valuablu of the lecuino straws. Dry sweet or rod clover straws or alfalfa steniH carry a feed value that IH gen- erally out of reach of the average farm animal's stomach, unless these materials are steamed or finely ground. Old ajul Musty Straws Are Not Itealrable. Old, dry and musty straws have little or no feed value, fresh soft and clean straws no matter from what source can generally be used to good advantage by all live stock if care IB taken to prepare such in a man- ner that will aid ihe animal organ- ism to extract the nourishing ele- ments. Cutting, steaming, or mixiiiK with other feeds to Increase palata- bllily and digestibility ia always advlswl. L. Stevenson, Sec., Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto. Vrarettible Matter. The advantage of matter in the loll may bo summed up as follows: It aliln aeration, retains moisture, prevents baking, provides conditions suitable' for bacteria, aide decomposi- tion of soil particles, supplies plant food, deepens soil layer, prevents loo-chin 1 ;, washing and drifting.

Strong Position Reported by Standard Bank of Canada Profit* Show Increase Over Previous Year General Bus- iness Well Maintained Throughout Country Liquid Assets Equal to 48% of Total Liabilities to the Public.

Such a result should be particularly satisfactory to shareholder's and is an indication of the High class of business the bank is handling throughout the Dominion. An analysis of the "general statement of assets and liabilities indicates the strong position in which the bank has maintained itself during the readjust- ment period. Of total assets of ?78,719,- K64. liquid, or immediately available, as- sets amount to 32,107,431, being equal to approximately 48 per cent, of total liabilities to the public. Included in this amount is cash and Dominion notes of 311.991,770. Among the principal accounts included m liquid assets are Dominion notes 99,222.301, current coin held by the bank $1,769,469 and deposit ,n Central Gold Reserves $1,000,000. The liquid assets reflect the steady settlement with the Government of the special business \\hich was updertaken during the war peiiod and as a result Dominion and Provincial Government securities now amount to *7,88:),5<W, down from $9,029.521. Other principal accounts arc cheques on other banks (3.375,5(11 , Canadian municipal securities and British, foreign and colonial public securities, other than Canadian, f2,4(2,- 050. and railway and oilier bonds 51, 082,- 051.||Tall and short loans. notcXceedioR thirty days, indicate the lessened demand for commercial accommodation, having gained to H,37S,097 as compared with 52,809,230. The general business of the Bank throughout the Dominion has been well maintained, notwithstanding the smaller requirements of general trade and ind- ustry and total current loans in Canada amount to 142,398,816, while loans to cities, towns and municipalities total $1,696.989. As a result of its organization being centred more in the older districts of the country, deposits of th bank have held well up to the level of previous years. Deposits bearing interest amount to aso.574,794 and deposits not bearing interest 1 1,502,064, making a total of S62,07fi,859. Profit and Loss Account The profit ar.d loss account shows that with the profits of the year, added to the amount carried forward, from previous year, the total available for distribution was 1840,466. Of this amount dividends required $.560,000, war tax on bank note circulation $40,000, reserve for Dominion income tax >5o,- 000, contributed to officers' pcntion fund $25,000, leavinq a balance to be carried forward into the new year of $160,566, as compared with 1 12,492 at the end of the previous year. This (* the first year that the Bank has had the advantage during the entire twelve months of its larger capital and reserve. The capital now stands at 4,- OO'JJWO and the reserve at *5,000,000.
