'19--Near the close of the past century the late Hon. John Dryen, then Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, estab- | Will be Great Feeding Centre. With the increasing production of 'hay and ,ensilage something else is coming--the inauguration of winter feeding of live stock on 'a large scale. Mr Brignall has al- ready bought six or seven cars of cattle on Winnipeg market for lished Dryden pioneer Farm, a- bout midway between Fort Wil- liam and Winnipeg, in what was then practically an unbroken wil- derness. This venture was at the time made subject, in some quar- ters, of ridicule little less sparing than that poured at an earlier date upon the Ontario Agricultur- al College. But the result has justified, abundantly justified, the ioresight and wisdom of one of the most useful and capable heads of a Department of = Agriculture in this or for any other Province. Accomplishment of 25 Years. 'I'he territory of wihch Dryden is the centre is no longer a wilder? ness. In the course of a little over a quarter of a century there have been create farms without number, which equal in the class of buildings some of the best sec- tions of Old Ontario and surpass in production, at least in certain lines, the capacity of counties which have been settled for over a century. There is along the chain of lakes and rivers between the head of navigation, and the! borders of Manitoba, the fertility of the prairies plus an unlimited supply of excellent water and plus also an equally abundant supply of fuel and building tim- ber, to say nothing of the shelter which timber belts provide *a- gainst the winds which sweep over the open prairie. An Ontario Seed Plot. The pioneers who made the first venture in this new and amazing- ly rich territory have, too, proved equal to their opportunities. One of these opportunities has been found in 'the adaptability of the soil for producing red and alsike clover seed of excellent quality and in large volume. Yields up to ten bushels per acre of alsike have been common. W. J. Rob- inson, near Dryden, in one season received $1,700 fo rthe seed grown on ten acres. James Tuckey of Oxdrift had twelve acres of al- sike and red in the year of big prices. "I counted on a new house, if the crop did well," Mrs =~ Tuckey said, "and my husband had his heart set on a tractor. When the crop sold for $3,000 we comnro- crop sold for $3,000 we compro- mised our differences by Jim get- ting his tractor, while I got my new house." 'It may be said, in parenthesis, that the house is an exceedingly comfortable one too, but then lumber costs a gaod deal less in the Kenora district' than it does in Old Ontario, and much of the work of building was pre:form- ed by Mr Tuckey himself, But to resume the story oi clo- ver seed. In the season already referred to $80,000 worth of grad- ied clover seed passed through -Oxdrift co-operative seed ware- house. This year the clover seed yore, due to a dry spring and too { much rain later on, is a compzira- j tive failure but, as some measure f-- of compensation, there is plenty of | | hay.

Eventually the the district of wihch Dryden is the centre will undoubtedly be- come a vast finishing station, the abundance of coarse home-grown fodder, a nearby supply of west- ern screenings and the possibility | of buying cheap store cattle at quirements for success in this line of endeavour. Schools, Churches, Roads. 'Nor is this naturally favoured part of the province lacking in other essentials to real home building. Excellent public schools are conveniently locatéd, continu- ation- or high schools are within comparatively easy access; there are churches too, and roads over which autos run as easily as in Old Ontario, intersect the terri- tory in all directions. Of those who live in this part of Ontario it can with truth be said that their lot has been cast in pleasant goodly heritage. Organize to Improve Standard of Billiards An. Association Will Conduct Cham- _pionship Tournament for Title Professional and Amateur Tourneys Will Be Conducted No longer may a man proclaim him- self the English billiards champion of Canada, professional or amatenr, with- out as much as saying 'By your leave.' Within a few weeks at the outside the game from coast to coast will be under the control of the newly formed Billiard Association of Canada with the owner of every decent billiard room and thousands of players, ama- teur and professional, in membership. What is of equal interest to the pro- gress of the most skillful of all games on the green cloth, the new association will strive to upbuild an unimpeach- able moral standard in the operation of public billiard rooms, discourage and eradicate -practices apt to incur public reproach and to enforce uniform rules governing amateur and profes- sional tournaments.

David IFrejd, "a graduate of 'the 0.A.C., and for- (mer Agricultural Representative dor the district, has one, 16% x 46, on a g2o0-acre holding a little way out from Dryden. Mr Frejd had 25 acres in sunflowers this season and filled his silo three times, the frequent filling being explaine.d by the fact that sunflower eng lage settles a good deal more thar 1 will corn.
