The financial report presented by the Directors was a very satisfactory one, and in more than one way, very interesting, considering the big obstacles the naragement has had to overcome. There was a total turn-over of $31,783.50 in the year which ended December 31st, 1925. Expenses, including wages and five per cent interest on paid up stock capital, amounted to $1,378.25, or nearly four p.c. of the turnover. The balance sheet showed assets to the amcunt of $10,130.63. And, after allowing for reserve and building fund and bad debts, there will be paid out a purchase dividend of Three per cent. The Directors received instruc- tions to get all the information possible in regard to the cost oi erecting a new store building and portfolio," said Robert Forke when asked if there was any truth in the rumour that there was to be a coalition with the government, including m:inis- ters from the Progressive group. We will remain Progressiv they will remain Liberals, he adc Forke made it clear that any co-o tive basis must be legislation pronises by the government in the speech from the throne, and that any depart from that promgram would be viewed with suspicion. It was generally felt the extent of the group's co-operation with the government would consist of prelimin- ary discussion in caucus and subse- quent support in the house of whatever legislation was agreed upon. Definte fusion of the Progressives with (he government was dismissed as highly improbable by members of the group.

Here in Ontario a few farmers have grown alfalfa with byin farmers have been growing alfalfa with excellent results for the past twerdy-five years; but the value of this crop te the public has not been gener- ally known. Severol farmers have tried this crop with unsatisfactory results due in some cases to lack of knowledge of proper cultural methodts and the type of soil adapted to its best development. But by far the greatest cause of failure has eben due to the difficulty of securing hardy climatized seed.

This seed has not stood our Canadian winter, with the result that one failure was sufficient to condemn it as an unsatisfactory crop to grow. At the present time there is a large quantity of our own Ontario- grown seed on the market at a price that is well within the reach of every farmer. Alfslfa is a heavy yielder, growing move pounds of seed per acre than either clover or timothy, and is also a good pasture crop when once estab- ilshed. ' Peing a deeprooted plant it will stand long periods of drought without apparent injury, while other crops under similar conditions would practi- cally ruined. The deep roots have the advantage also of giving the plant a greater feeding area, which makes it one of the greatest subsoilers grown on our farms. Alfalfa will give two crops of hay each year, or one crop of hay and one of seed. This double cutting has a very beneficial effect in kkeeping down weeds, as the first cutting is made before the seed of many of our worst weeds ripen. As a food for stock, alfalfa hay well cured has a feeding value equal to bran, and is relished by all classes of livestock. being particularly suited to young growing animals and dairy cows. This spring hardy Ontario seed is selling at about the same price as al- sike, which would indicate that now is a good time to buy. A sample of this seed can be seen at the Dryden office of the Department of Agriculture. Last year about 1000 Ibs of seed were sown here. Could this amount not be doubled this spring? M: F. COOK.
