The Asâ€" s)rian produced his purse and handâ€" wl it over to the Court, andâ€" for some tinys the Magistrate and Chief were busily engaged in counting the nickels and dimes. The purse con: tained a little over ten dolars, andi as the man appearcé to be hard up, the fine was reduced to $5 flat. He was fined $5 ant costs, amountâ€" ing to $10.

Mr. Creelman spoke of the transiâ€" tion in agriculture. Farming in the ’urly days was a simple education; ‘the more boys one had, the _ more {land could be cleared, the.more crops | traised, and more pash bought _ for :the boys to clear. Now, agriculture bad become a profession, and a scienâ€" } tific knowledge of the subject was esâ€" fsential for success. _ _ |Bxcellent and Instructive Address Delivered c«\ . by President G. C. Creeiman, of the Ontâ€" "a‘; ario Agricultural College, Guelph. _ The speaker also referred to the fact that in the annual statements of officers of Canada‘s banking instituâ€" tions the people are led to believe that the prosperity of this Dominion depends largely on the crops of the Northwest. He desired to point out ‘ that last year the good old province _of Ontario produced 60 per cent. more larm products than the great â€" west and if there was a failure . of the crops in_Ontario the Banks and busi~ ness interests of the country would be @fiected to a much greater extent than a failure in the great west. The nceessity of tile, draining was taken up. Thosands of farms were found to contain one or more fields of a swampy nature. The O. A. €. had undertaken to prepare plans~ for drainage systems free of charge, and last year they had three men out. He | gave an instance of a field in Victor-; ia county that in three years n‘paid‘ in increased crops the costs of llwI drainage. Lo Abimaiatis. M /dsnc h ds .202 ; The speaker remarked on the fact that when visitors from _ the old country went to the College, they !wanted to see the farm, and _ the jstock; and could talk intelligently ‘about breeds and strains and famiâ€" lies; but when visitors from â€" the towns and cities of Canada come, they desire to see the conservatories, ‘and areâ€"interested in the stock only fwhen the animals are larger _ than _any they ever saw before. He had a word to say about the retired farmâ€" ers. 1t was the lot of many of the towns and villages of Ontario, he said, to be filled with retired farmâ€" ers; men who had moved in from comfortable homes to a side stroet. There they generally adopted a poli eyâ€"of opposition to all improvements that would mean an incresse in their taxes. They had time to talk muniâ€" cipal politics in seasom and out â€" of scason, in opposition to ali improveâ€" ments. In fact they were the "biggest nuisance to the progress of any comâ€" munity. }f would be much better, in the speaker‘s opin.on, and he spoke in all kindness, if farmers would stay on the farm and live out their _ old age amid congenial surroundings, reâ€" tiring â€"from active labor, but â€"stiH keeping in the work to . which their lives had been devoted, helping a litâ€" tle in the busy season and giving the boys on the farm the benefrt of their advice and experience. in the _ old country, he said, the idea of those in the towns was to make enough money to enable them to &go out to the country to live.

C. Creekman, president of the Ontario Agricultural â€" Coltege, Guelph. The address was a revelaâ€", tion of what is being accomplished by the Coege for the benefit of the larming industry of Ontario and Canâ€" word throughout the proâ€" LTURE IN ONT graduate of the Berkin Collegiate Inâ€" stitute, and a _ former teacher _ in Waterloo Township, who was clected to represent Didsbury District, where mamy formet Waterloo _ Countyites have settled.

Mr. Duncan Marshall, formet Liberal OAogebiineca ns Gazette of Bracebridge, is clected for the constituency of Olds. He is _ a splendid debater amd will make _ his influence felt in the new provinec. Prof. Creeiman was loudiy applaudâ€" od when he resumed his seat and on motion of Messrs. W. M. Cram and 6. P. Clement, K.C., ho was tenderâ€" ed a heariy vofe of thanks. Mr. Creekman closed by expressing the hope and expectation that â€" the true principles of scientiftc agriculture would yet, be taught in the rural schpols to the boy, whenr his â€" time was not yet of â€" much commercial value. In speaking briefly of the dairy | inâ€" dustry, he said it was the duty of Ontario to keep up the quality â€" and increase the quantity of their _ proâ€" ducts. There was too great a â€" dilâ€" ference between the average and the possible. There were so many _ clemâ€" ents governing the farming profession, that it behooved the farmer to look well to the clements he was able to control. The average cow in Ontarie gave three thousand pounds of â€" milk a year. There was one in the herd at the College last year that gave 20,778 pounds, or the equivalent . of 912 pounds of butter. This showed the room for improvement in â€" this ENP im C anen tm nc 19 per cent. in the last ten _« s. He urged the necessity of msinvainâ€" ing soil fertility by means of keepâ€" ing stock and by the proper rotation of crops. The average yield of, wheat in Onâ€" tario is 20.4 bushels per acte, and in the United States 12 bushels. â€" The average yield of oats had increased by _ ‘‘Ontareo in 1908 produced fifty per cent. more grain than all the provâ€" inces west of Lake Superior," â€" said the speaker. â€"This calculation did not take into consideration â€" the stock, butter, cheesc, etc., produced in Onâ€" tarlo. Ontario never within memory had a total crop failure. lmentioned the work of the experiâ€" mental Union in connection with the !College, where grains now in 5 neral use had been first introduced. He said that twenty years ago a handful of bariey from Manchuria was . secured and planted. Two years ago, hall a million acres in Ontario were planted with this Manchuria barley. A new wheat was now being produced, to compete with the hard wheat of the Northwest. Mr. Creeiman said that last year h: had gone through a lJarge Park of Europe, and nowhere, except in spot , had he seen such a progresâ€" sive laiiming population as thére was in Untario. He spoke of the advisaâ€" bi..ty of sorting out and planting valy the big, plump grain from which f much better crops were secured. â€" He said that in the spring if spring wheat, oats, barliey and peas â€" were planted in.that order a week apart in each case, the average would be forty bushels to the acre, but _ only 35 if sown in the order _ of peas, spring wheat, bartey and oats; _ or there would be a difference of 55,â€" 882,309 bushels in Ontario. In regard to grain growing, larger and better crops were being raised in Ontario every year, while New Engâ€" Lland was presenting the aspect of a tountry of abandoned > farmers. He There had once been a demand for short, thin fat bacon. The McKiniey tarill shut Canada out from the Staâ€" tes with their produce, and the deâ€" mand in Canada nad changed. _ The result was toâ€"day _ seventyâ€"five per cent. of the hogs going into the packâ€" ing establishments in Canada _ were of the new bacon type. He told of the work that had to be done to bring about this change. The change as to the potato crop was touched upon. There was a time, he said, when potatoes were €xport~ ed largely from Ontario. Now Toronâ€" to received a large share of the poâ€" tatoes used there from New Bruns wick. The college had sent experts wit to find the cause. ‘They found that blight had been active, that over 60 _ different varieties â€" were being grown and that they were not of the best variety. There were~ varieties less subject to blight but they â€" were aot being used. It was also imposy sible to get a carload of potatoes without getting at least twentyâ€"five different kinds. Because of the multiâ€" plication of varieties it was imposâ€" sible for dealers to guarantee large lots. _ Conditions were improving, however, and he believed that in ten years the industry would again be a profitable one. We were getting â€" a million and a half bushels of potatoes a year from New _ Brunswick alome, which was a clear loss to Ontatio farmers.
