The country women at their regular monthly meetings pass on to each other much valuable information gained through practical experience. and they are utilizing to splendid advantage the literature available from various During 1931 there were 31 courses of one month's duration for girls. Twelve hundred young women. mostly girls, from the farm took advantage of this systematic instruction which covered housing. clothing and food problems. with classes morning and afternoon. The Department of Agriculture is, in this way, trying to take to the girls of rural Ontario some of the advantages mjoyed in the centres of population through classes established in the tech- nical and high schools, as well as in the higher {arms 01 the public schools.

The Institutes Branch of the Department of Agriculture provides graduate nurses. dietitians and seam- stresses to give systematic instruction to groups of women and girls in their home nentres.

For clover and alfalfa these amounts might be doubled with profit.

The rate of application will, of course. depend on a number of fac- tors. chief among which are the charac- ter and. fertility of the son, and the nature of the wraps to be grown. For most grain crops an application of muriate of potash of 50 to 76 pounds Clover and Grass Seeds Due to the low cost of Ontario-pro- duced clover and grass seed this year, farmers may seed down 10 to 20 acres more than they have been in the habit of doing, states A. H. Martin, Markets Board. In addition to this, the total cost of seed will be materially less. Nature has endeavored, it would ap- pear, to offset low prices by providing a bountiful crop. Almost every clover field in the Province has produced its allotment of seed and, in most cases, seed of very high quality. The 1931 legume mm) in Ontario has been estimated at varying amounts. Even the most conservative estimates, however, place the figure at one which will ensure ample high quality alfalfa, red clover and alsike of hardy strains, to meet the requirements of every farmer in this Pr0vince. This heavy supply of homegrown legume seed is a real blessing to all farmers, particularly those not actually or regularly, engaged in the production of small seeds. Some sections of Ontario are not growing alfalfa, to any gr:at extent. If the truth were known, this may be due to the disappointment caused by winter-killing of imported seed. As a soil builder, pasture and hay crop pro- ducer. alfalfa stands supreme. As a green manure cr0p. alfalfa Opens up the soil. adds nitrates and other plant foods, to a value much greater than the price of the seed. As a hay cr0p alfalfa outyields all others both in quality and quantity. It was the only crap to remain green for pasture during the recent very dry years in Western On- tario. In sections where alfalfa has not yet secured a foothold, it should be sown in mixtures with other legumes. This year clover, alfalfa and alsike, are very reasonable in price. Present conditions aflord a splendid opportun- ity for a more extensive seeding down of legume craps for hay, pasture and down. BYRON’S HOME PRESENTED T0 CITY OF NOTTINGHAM Lord Byron's famous home at New- stead, in England, was presented to the city of Nottingham by Sir Julian Cahn. The present owner of Newstead, C I. Fraser, also handed over to the city the furniture at Newstead Abbey, which originally belonged to the Byron family. associations long before the time of the poet. The abbey, an Augustinian priory. was founded by Henry I in pen- ance for the murder by Henry’s knights of Thomas A. Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. ' After the dissolution of the monas- tery the despoiled abbey was bought by Sir John Byron from Henry VII for A FAIR QUESTION A farmer, mung his son’s college and wandering into a chemistry class, saw some students busy with nations and test tubes. “We‘re endeavormg,” repligd one of the students, ‘to discover or invent a universal solvent." youcoinctokeepttm?” “That’s a “What’s that?” asked the farmer. manure crew to be plowed to do?” he the activities so far better than “leg-ls- late”. Due to the activity of Mr. Hum- phrey Mitchell, new member tat Ham- ilton, a Committee of the House of Commons is being set up to consider Beauharnois contributions to campaign funds and inthe Senate acommittee is enquiring into the conduct of the three Senators who were mixed up in Beau- harnois.mesenatealonehastheri¢ht to sit in judgment on its own members. Some little time ago Mr. G.N. Gordon of Peterborough, accused the Hon. W. D. Herridge, Canadian Minister at Washington, of wrangling the price of his wedding trip out of the Govern- ment. A committee is going to give him a chance to prove his statement, not apparently because it reflects on the honor of Mr. Herridge, but because the Prime Minister believes it reflects on Possibly the most important investi- gation is one to be made or the Civil Service Commisson branch of the pub- public one would Judge they would be well attended. dication that the merit of the candidate ' as revealed in the examination papers was not the only factor in deciding on the candidate for the position. The Committee is to find out whether or not there has beeh discrimination. We had ‘a couple of days’ debate on the 5c bonus on wheat. A westernl member thought it should be $1.00 an acre bonus. The members accused the Government of having agricultural re- lief in the west administered by a par- tisan board and some of the mem- bers from Alberta and Manitoba were inclined to think that Saskatchewan had got more than its share of relief. But taking it by and large all western members were in favor of the bonus. Speaking for Ontario agriculture, I said I doubted very much if agriculture could tax itself into prosperity. “0n general principles I am opposed to the idea of a bonus. but speaking for On- tario farmers, if 5:: a bushel on wheat will keep the western farmer growing‘ wheat and keep him out of the mixed farming field, it might be worth that to the Ontario farmer. ....... If any more .mixed farming products come from the. suits Ontario and if the Prairie Prov- inces go in for mixed farming it will be disastrous for this province. The Prime Minister considers a bal- anced budget essential. He believes that a non-balanced budget injum the country’s credit and the country’s credit is his first concern. To balance the budget he must spend less and re- ceive more. Expenditures have been decreased and it is intimated taxes will be increased when the budget comes down on the 10th of March. The sumo mary of the estimated expenditure for this fiscal year ending March 31, 1933. makes interesting reading. Some big cuts have been made. Public Works is down six million and over a half. Soldier and general land settlement down two million. Agriculture, three. Mail subsidies and steamship subven- tions, one million, and to my delight, National Defence is down over two and a half million. There are increases in two items in the estimates; interest on public debt, including sinking funds has increased over thirteen million dollars and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have an increase of four hun- dred and eighty five thousand. The in- terest shows that our debt has greatly increased. As one member put it. “we have more debt to pay and the 901108 are increased to see that we pay it.” There is no doubt that such large decreases in expenditure will cause un- employment, this is particularly true 0f public works, and where it does not cause unemployment it will reduce the purchasing power of the people. The same can be said of increased taxation. The bulk of the taxes come out of the pockets of the working people. Their purchasing power is already seriously affected. They have a fixed amount of money to spend, it more of that money goes to pay for taxes, whether direct or indirect taxes, less is left with which to buy goods. That being so fewer goods will be sold and unemploy- rnent and general stagnation will in- crease. An increase in currency, to make it possible to move the goods from the producer to the consumer is our great- est need. In view of the fact, the two bills now before the United States Gon- Parliament seems to be in an inquir- gress must be interesting to us. They provide for a degree of inflation; they are deliberately trying to thaw out frozen credits; to float the goods out clogged with them.

All this would have sounded like wild talk five years ago, but, that is not so today. I spent last week-end in Philadelphia and Baltimore. On Saturday I atâ€" tended a tea meeting in the Bellevue Statford Hotel in Philadelphia. The subjects under discussion were the Dis- armament Conferenoe and the situa- tion in the Far East. There were many speakers, for the most part from the University of Pennsylvania, from Princeton and one outstanding one from Washington. The Women’s Inter- ing. They are two of the organizations who worked valiantly to secure a strong delegation from their country to the World Disarmament Conference in Geneva. Thev felt they were In Part successful. They seemed especially pleased with the woman delegate, Dr. Woolley of Holyooke College. Several speakers thought that the critical con- dition ln the for east might have the effect of spurring the delegates at the World’s Conference to greater efforts. Others thought it would have the op- posite eflect. Dr. Lin, 8 young Chinese from Princeton, presented the Chinese side of the the integrity of China.
