Administration of the Ferguson Government is meeting with ap- proval in all quarters of the Legis- lature. Speaking in the debate on the budget, Hon. Harry Nixon. former Provincial Secretary for the Drury Government, expressed his approval of the businessâ€"like ad- “Partyism never meant a great deal to me” stated Hon. Mr. Nixon. “and if this government gives the province economic and honest ad- ministration and legislation I would not care how long they stay in of- fice. I can assure this government that this group will render every assistance possible by our con- structive suggestions.” With the view of again giving the public an opportunity to read and discuss the measure. Premier Fer- gusor. has again introduced the Township School Board Bill in the legislature. At three previous ses- sions it was introcgluced. discussed and withdrawn in deference to op- position. which arose in some quarters. and to permit further study of its measures. This time, Premier Ferguson announces, the bill will he presented for enactment but it is proposed that it will not be proclaimed until everyone has had an Opportunity to become familiar with its provisions. Statements made by members of the Opposition during the course of their remarks in the Legislature in- sofar as the Liquor Control Act is concerned have been subjected to thorough repudiation in the House during the past week. Recent re- marks by P. W. Pearson, Liberal member for North York, alleging an increase in drunkenness in North- ern Otario as a result of the opera- tions of the L. G. A. were vigorously denied by Attorney-General Price through the medium of the Crown Attorney of Sudbury. In a letter to the Attorney-Gener- al, Crown-Attorney McKessock states that drunkenness has de- creased under the new law and states “the fact that men are now able to get. liquor at the stores seems to have made most of them determined to give the law their moral support.” _ .. u n _-._ - _ PAGE 6. Statement of T. J. Slack, Progres- sive member for Dufferin, that two or three truckloads of bootleg liquor were distributed in Shel- burne every night also brought prompt denial from the police au- thorities. In a letter to the Attorâ€" ney-General the police state that thorough enquiries fail to substan- tiate the charge. Officers of the Court and the Reeve of Shelburne also add their denials to Mr. Slack's statement. Following representations made to the Department of Game and Fisheries and the Legislative Com- mittee, the government will again admit the shorter season for the hunting of deer in the province. Last year the season was lengthened from '15 to 30 days, but it has been decided to again confine the open season to practically the same dates as before. Addressing the Fish and Game committee of the Legislature, Hon. Charles McCrae stated that the government was not favorably dis- posed to inceasinrg the bounty on wolves. While it was realized that immediate steps should be taken to wipe out the wolf as far as pos- sible. an increased bounty was not considered a necessary adjunct. He pointed out that at present more pelts were being received with a $15 bounty than there was in 1924 when the bounty was $40. Hon. Mr. McCrae felt that the bounty could not be raised without running the danger of having wolves turned in that had never roamed through Ontario. At the present time the bounty was the same as Quebec. An intensive study of the wolf situation, as it bears on the raising ing of farm stock and the protectio of game. is to be undertaken by the Government. A , v v v. u---\ u--- Vigorous endorsation ot‘ the On- tario Government‘s course in con- nection with the Old Age Pensions plan was given the House by K. K. Homuth (Waterloo). who for many years has been actively identified with the labor movement. Mr. Ho- muth stated that the government of Ontario realized the tremendous debt that was owing to the aged people of the Province and that the matter was receiving the careful .bhbuvlvu v - He charged that the Dominion government was trying to throw the responsibility upon the province and was, at the same time, indulg- ing in a political by-play. The Dominion government. he said, had studied the question for many years before they introduced legislation and then in the hope that it would Ontario Government, he said, did‘ not intend to be rushed into the situation for a year. He pointed out that the establishment of the scheme would be a vast drain on the resources of the Province, and that adequate provision would have J. Slack, Progres- to be made for the finding of the monies needed. Commenting editorially on the Ontario Budget. the Chronicle-Tele- graph of Quebec says: “The finan- cial position of Ontario seems to be sound with the brightest prospects for the future and the Ferguson government has every reason to be satisfied with its record.” Premier Ferguson has announced to the Legislature that the govern- ment will not ocuntenance the tax- ation of buildings and land of mun- icipal public utilities. Two bills in- troduced with this step in view, on behalf of the City of Toronto, were withdrawn in the face of the Prem- ier's announcement. One of the bills was for the purpose of elimin- ating buildings used by public Util-j ities operated by municipalities .from exemption, while the other provided for the establishment of taxation on land so occupied. Premâ€" ier Ferguson stated that the bills could only result in increased power costs and stated that the government would not be prepared to give the measures any support. After a comprehensive survey of‘ the situation the government has introduced in the Legislature a! measure to check the selling of fraudulent stocks in Ontario. The legislation provides for the regisâ€" tration of brokers and salesmen, and gives the Attorney-General wide powers to institute investiga- tion into any security placed on the market. All persons who sell se- curities. Whether acting as officials or salesmen, are included in the Act subject to certain specific ex- . emptions. Clauses in the Bill defining fraud and fraudulent action are very comprehensive, including generally any course of conduct or labusiness \‘tlllCll is calculated to put forward \Vith intent to deceive the public or the purchasers of any security as to the nature of am transaction or as to the Value of such security.” Mountainous Waves piling against the grounded Robert E.

Here is seen the Robert E. Lee. to the Workmen’s Compensation, Act. The amendment provides for the payment of compensation in whole or in part to the wives or depend- ents of workmen, who, while en- titled t'o the remuneration, have either left the country or have sep- arated from their families. Provisions of the legislation nap- ply to cases where. the family or dependents are without adequate means of support and likely to be- come a charge on the municipality. In such cases the Board may divert such compensation in whole or in part to the benefit of the depend- ents. Hon. John ". Martin, Minister of Agriculture, has presented to the House a bill to amend the Weed Control Act, which requires road inspectors to see that weed cutting along the roads is carried out.| Pro- vision is made that highway grants shall not be paid in the event of the ’1 work not being done. Reports presented to the Legisla- ture indicate that during the past year the Department of Public Health has distributed free 11,196,- 200 units of insulin valued at $47,- 477. Free biological products dis-4 pensed by the government for the same period were valued at $152,043. A decrease in the number of deaths from tuberculosis is also shown. Total number of cases reported was 1,534 with 732 deaths being report- ed. Figures for the previous year show that there were 1,660 cases and 821 deaths. .THE DURHAM .CHRchICLE‘ OTHER PAPERS’ OPINIONS Importation of Butte‘r Opposed The Canadian dairymen and the Australia dairymen are both anx- ious to prevent the importation; of New Zealand butter into their res- pective countries, for they wish to have the local markets to themâ€" selves. It is difficult to see how . New Zealand can take umbrage at' , the attitude adopted by the Cana- . dian and Australian dairymen, for the New Zealand Government has practically prohibited the importa- tion of wheat and flour into New Zealand, and this affects Australia in particular. Leading British statesmen a‘re pleading for co-op- eration within the British Empire, and the Dominions are setting up trade barriers. Trade is suffering too many and too high trade barriers, yet each country’s own trade would be helped by lowering its ,own trade barriers, and these barriers are threatening the living] standards. If Australia and Canada do decide to keep out New Zealand by high customs duties we cannot reasonably complain, for we are ' doing something similar in respect ' to other products. Yet both of ’ these our sister-Dominions, should ; recognize that they expofl. to us ’ considerably more than we sell to ' themâ€"New Zealand Free Lunch. Young people are growing up around us constantly. Every year brings a new lot up from childhood and adolescence toward the respon- sible period of life. Their conduct on the street is often an indication of the characters they are forming. Sometimes young people get the mistaken idea that their conduct is their own business; that it does not matter to anyone but themselves what path they follow.1 The truth, however, is that it mat- ters to everyone. The choice of Igood or evil will have an effect not Ionly upon their own families, friends and neighbors, but upon hundreds of those whose faces are not familiar and whose names are unknown to them. Whatever young people make of their lives means blessing or bane for count- less other lives. “No Man Liveth To Himself” that improvement takes the form of public works, population growth, increased prosperity or business development.

Few seem to realize that a large percentage of the losses due to winter-killing of red clover seed- ings canbe-a‘nd to a certain extent are being controlled by the selec- tion of seed, the resulting crop of which is sufficiently hardy to with- stand the climatic conditions in a «given region- ---1 L- - vUâ€"'__- Climatic conditions cannot be changed so we must choose strains which are best suited to our condi- tions. Data from experiments car- ried on at the Dominion Experi- mental Farm, Napan, N. S., show that there is a great difference in the winter hardiness of crops grown from seed produced under widely varying climatic conditions. Seed has been sown which was grown in France, Italy, Sicily, Sweden and Canada and of these only that of Swedish and Canadian origin was suitable for our condi- tions. In 1923 eleven lots of Swed- ish and Canadian origin produced an average yield of 3 tons and 18 SUITABILITY OF RED CLOVER true is Fadedâ€"We tell you 2 Pekoe is the best Orange 'â€"â€"and the most economical. age is only 43câ€"-So_@ By all pounds of cured hay per acre, while from French and Italian lots the yield was only 1 ton and 1823 pounds per acre. In 1927 the dif- ference was ever more marked with 9 Swedish and Canadian lots yield- ing an average of 3 tons and 2.33 pounds of cured hay per acre and five lots frOm Italy and Sicily av- eraging only 1962 pounds per acre, During the winter of 1922-23 the ground was well covered with snow and there was very little freezing and thawing which will account for the fairly good showing of the less hardy lots. The win- ter of 1926-27 was much less favor- able and the less hardy lots were unable to withstand the winter. It should not be inferred that all imported red clover seed is non- hardy but from the results at this Farm practically all of the Italian and a very large percentage of the : French seed would be condemned because of lack of hardiness in the a resulting crop. Seed from Swedish - sources, other parts of Canada and f Northern United States seems to ; produce a crop sufficiently hardy t for normal years in the Maritime r Provinces. Clean, plump «oral seed. however, offers the besr, chance of securing a perfect stand. (U (U 'rhui'sday. Hawk *5: The animal which has the longest life is the whale.
