A. Zavitz, Agricultural College, Guelph, Ontario, that 2832 Ont- ario Farmers conducted experi- ments with field crops on their own farms in 1925. The number is increasing from year to year. Choice seed of some of the best varieties is being distributed now free of cost. - Any farmer who asks for it may have the seed for an experiment with one of the classes of farm crops such as oats, ficld corn, mangles, turnips, alfalfa, sweet corn, etc. The dis- tribution will likely continue well into April or until the supply of seed of the different crops is ex- hausted. These co-operative tests of the Experimental Union have greatly increased crop- yields, making Ontario outstand- ing in this respect. Aprlication forms may be ob- tained on application to M. F. Cook, Agricultural Representative Drydex. Better Roads-- Public-spirited car owners are requested to assist the Roads and Bridge Committee by not runn- ing their cars while the roads are soft, as the greatest possible damage is done to the roads in the few days after the snow disap- pears. The Committee intend to get all the holes filled up as quick- ly as possible, and have them in good shape during the summer seasoll. TO SHAREHOLDERS-- TAKE NOTICE that the annual general meeting of the share- holders of Wabigoon-Contact Bay Gold Mines Limited (no personal liabilities) will be held at the office of Mr EL. A.

ROD AND GUN Of considerable interest in view of the recent controversy in Ontario over the usefulness or not of the crow, is a series of articles on Jack Miner's work that is running in Rod and Gun, the sporting magazine. The April issue contains an interesting article with reference to his advice on the establish ing of a lorge bird sanctuary. The April issue of Rod and Gun also contains a very good offering of read- ing matter of interest to the sports- man, the lover of wild life and the outdoors and the casual general read- er. An account of a tenderfoot bear hunt in the Wilds of British Columbia makes very interesting reading as do the current articles of Raymond Thom- son's series "In the Big Woods of Canada" and A. Bryan William's "Breezes from. the West." The regular department on fishing, outdoor life, guns, dogs, and trapping, contoin some good reading matter as well as instructive material.

Earngey, editor of the Kenora Miner & News, will be the Conservative candidate at the next election in this Province. which is expected will shortly be announced. Mr Earngey was the choice of party convention held in Dryden Friday last, carrying off the honour against two opponents ex-Mayor Alfred Pitt of Dryden, and G. Farlinger of Sioux Look- out. Gut of 112 delegates the first ballot gave Farngey 57 votes, Pitt following with 42, and Farlinger 12. On the motion of his two op- ponents the. nomination was made unanimous. The Convention attracted a big attendance from every part of the Kenora District, which filled the Farmer-Labour Party Will Run Candidate That the Farmer-Labour party is alert to the possibilities of the political situation was proved on Wednesday night, when they met in Lakeview Hall, Kenora, to con- sider the advisability of putting up a candidate to contest this con- stituency at the coming election. After electing their officers and other routine business, the chair- man, H. McKinnon, called upon M. S. Campbell of Dryden for his views on the general situation. In emphasizing his opinion that the party would be lacking in spirit if it failed to at least enter a candi- date, Mr Campbell expressed the conviction that the man of their selection should represent the widest and freest choice of the new Town Hall to overflowing. Following their nomination thes people for whose votes he would Too often New Prices on Amateur Film Finishings for 1926.

Mr Pitt, who was given a great ovation, opened the hall with an appeal for the great need especially in the rural sections, for roads to assist settlers to develop the tremendous agricultural resources of the dis- trict. So long as we continued to be divided into isolated communi- ties, with the handicap to inter- course and business, we could not hope te make equal progress with the rest of Canada. Mr Farlinger, who also made a splendid impression when he des- cribed the isolated position of his own town, arguing that a candi- date with personal experience of the disadvantages of smaller com- munities would be better qualified to carry out the wishes of people! living under similar conditions. "If IT were elected," he said, "and any communty, however small, brought a good case to me, and I took it up, I'd see it through. It's political 1mportance would mean nothing to me. I'd regard it as a purely business matter. J. P. Earngey declared his pur- pose, if given the nomination, to devote his whole time before and after election: to getting in touch with the people in every part of the riding, to acquaint himself with the needs of the district at first hand. He was convinced that Premier Ferguson would again be : returned to power, than whom no | !dorse what he had said regarding would never want any prefercnce electors as it had been disastrous to the candidate. In addition, it was antagonistic to the declared policy of the Farmer-Labor party itself, and if ,as he hoped, they should decide to hold a convention in the near future, he thought the delegates should come to it with- out being pledged in advance to any one candidate: otherwise the convention would simply become a farce, and the people on whom they depended for support at the polls would be certain to resent having a candidate forced upon them. So far as he was personally concerned, he would walk out of any meeting that appeared to be under the direction or control of any individual or group. Hugh McKinnon, in thanking Mr Campbell for his address, said that he wanted to thoroughly er the pledging of candidates. It was absolutely undemocratic to bind a delegate to support any policy or party at any price, even against his own conscience. He himself from a party unless it was backed by the goodwill and unfettered support of the people. The new Executive will meet shortly to decide upon a suitable place and date for the Convention, which will probably be at Dryden on or about the 15th of April next.

Ex-Mayor G. A. Toole, who as president of the District Associa- tion occupied the chair, informed the meeting that the Executive had obtained from Mr Crane, the District engineer, a list of roads in the district left unfinished in 1925, roads promised by Mr Lyons, late minister of northern development, and roads petitioned for in various localities. Reading the list, and displaying a map showing the lo- cation of the different roads, he called for a resolution adopting them into the policy of the party. This was carried unanimously. (A complete copy of the list will be found on page 3 of this issue.) The chairman proceeded to say that, following the Convention, a number of delegates would leave for Toronto to attend the Conser- vative provincial conference, and the opportunity would be found to lay the resolution and the road policy before the Premier. He did not agree with the view that the expenditure in northern Ontario should be limited approximately to what the Government collected in revenue from this part of the province; a sound policy would regard any outlay for development as an investment which there was not the least doubt would prove to be the most remunerative that Ontario had ever made when the unlimited resources of the country were given an opportunity for development.

For some time there has been a growing feeling that an organization should be formed to perpetuate the sense of comradship developed during those eventful years of strife. The ilea 'cole tang'ble shape last January, when a meeting was held in the Oxdrifi Comiviunity "Hall, to decide upon a course of action. The matter was talked over, and the object of the association explained. All present unanimously voted to form a branch to be known as the "Oxdrift and Dis- trict Branch oi the G:W:V:A."
