SB 'tVEDNESDAV, MARCH 4, 1931 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE 5,000 Facts About Canada "The Dominion in a Nutshell" is the arresting sub-title of. the widely known annual, "6000 Facts About Canada," compiled by Frank Yeigh,' the recognised authority on the Dom- inion through his writings and lee-' tuiv.x. This 80-page booklet, now in its 28th year, has become indispen- uible to thousands of Canadians, 1 while it is in increasing demand from other countries desiring to learn of Canadian conditions. 50 chapters, ranging alphabetically from "Agricul- ! ture" to the "West" and "Yukon" tell the story of the country's progress in a series of brief crisp sentences easy to locate and assimilate a story that is both cheering and stimulating. It is exteniively used by governments, corporations, colleges and schools, and also as a means of "selling Can- ada" to people in other lands. It is therefore a most valuable advertise- ment of the Dominion. Most news dealers carry it, or it may be had, at 35 cents a copy, from the Canadian Facts Publishing Co., 588 Huron St., Toronto 5.

Agriculture had the floor again in the Ontario Legislature yesterday, but the Agriculture Department got a rude slam to one side when Farquhar OH- j ver, young U. F.O. member for South I Grey, declining to follow the"moonlight I and Hoses" attitude of the Liberal and Progressive Leaders in regard to the Henry Administration's handling of farm problems, moved an amendment to the Address motion that would com- mit the House to a disapproval of'the failure oi the Government to establish and maintain markets for farm prod- ucts, so that by increased selling vol- ume the farmer could meet his high overhead cost." The amendment was seconded by T. K. Slack. Progressive, Dufferin. It was mixed farming that, in most sections of Ontario, was the worst off argued Mr. Oliver. No prosperity was to be found in this class of agriculture except in cases of men who "special- ized." Any person who had a 'farm, "bought and paid for," was either one who had had it left to him or a chap who through "unusual circumstances" had found himself in better shape than the "great majority of his brethren." "Overhead charges," claimed the young South Grey member, was chief- ly back of the present agricultural de- pression. Government services were splendid things, he added, and the farmer was glad to avail himself of them, but they also represented over- head charges and entered into the question of "burdening down" the farm companies will hardly take farm risks." In view of the existing ec- nomic depression and the high rates charged by companies, farm buildings, he said, are made "very inflammable." Crossing swords with the policy , pronouncements of Hon. T. L. Kenn- edy, Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Ol- ' iver stated that it was not a case of ! the home market being too long over- looked, as the Minister had claimed, ' but a case of the home markets being ' "too long over-emphasized." He was ' in complete agreement, he said, with ' earlier debate statements of D. J. ' Taylor (Progressive North Grey) that before long Western Canada hogs ' would be coming into this province "to glut up a market already over- ' crowded." There was no doubt, in tho face of such a threat, he said, that Ontario had to look outside her ' own confine? (or markets. In moving his amendment, Mr! Oli- ver referred to the report of the 1924 Agricultural Committee, a report which he presumed had been lying in some dusty pigeonhole of the Agricul- tural Department for the past five years, a report which, he added, could ably tell the Government "what is wrong with agriculture" if they took the trouble to lo >k into it. In his firm opinion tho Government 1'ad not pursued the vigilance with /espect to tho ouestion which, nowadays, he ar- gued. \vero absolutely necessary to farming the virgin fertility having practically disappeared from the soil of Ontario Mr. Oliver claimed there was plenty cif room for an invest- igation into tho prices whu-h they de- manded. One type of Holland fertilizer which he hail ujyler con.'V'eration. for his own farm, could, he contended, be laid down in Toronto from Holland at Stop! Look!

The fun- eral took place Wednesday to the Union cemetery, services, conducted by Rev. Trotter of the Holiness Work- 01 s' Church in Collingwood, being largely attended. the highest figure in the history of the Dominion.

Of the total regis- trations, 1,056,078 were passenger cars and 166,854 commercial cars.

Although "a strong lieliever in rural Hydro" -r.d its advantages to the fann- ;>r, 'Mr. Oliver submitted that the Gov- ernment should get the prices down, after the fashion advocated l>y Mr. Acres. Another matter to which the Government might well devote sonic attention won that of insurance. Speaking of commercial fertilizers, upriculturnl industry it should have.

It is uncertain how nickel got ita name, but there is a story that in the middle, agc.s German miners working underground in search of silver and .copper, found an ore of whi.-h the coloring led them to believe that it VMS riih in copper. Yet, strive as they would, they could extract no copper from it. Thereupon thev chris- tened it "Copper-Nickel." Believing that the ore was be-deviled, the same "nickel" (from Nikolaus, or "Old Nick") wa.s opprobiously applied, .It signified a supernatural creature, one resembling a human being, a devilkin that- inhabited the belly of the e-i-th, and committed all sorts of mischief urn! i v. .-f.lity. In modern times some (V"is sim> that the nickel coin is a device of the evil one to reduce church collections.
