Each year the upâ€"toâ€"theâ€"minute deâ€" velopments in agriculture are ahown it the Canadian National Exhibition. Horees, cattle, sheep, ewine, poultry, goats, pet etock, dairy products, ve getables and grain, machinery and other farm equipment make this the outstanding agricultural show of the world . The odors emanating from the Grand River, which have aroused the ire of Waterloo township resiâ€" dents, were blamed on both the Waterloo and Kitchener sewage disâ€" posal plants by the Waterloo Townâ€" ship Health goard which made a tour of the river on Friday. While on their tour the Board met Enâ€" gineer Necker of Waterloo and Dr. Berry of the Provincial Health Department, who chanced to be inâ€" specting at the time. Agreement was reached then and there whereby the engineer would take up the: matter with the Waterloo council and Dr. .Berry take it up with the Kitchener body. It is claimed that certain chemicâ€" als which are being used to treat the waste from the local distillery are responsible partly for the odor. Waterloo _ Township _ Board 'l‘win-(]ity Sewer i Plants Blamed for j l’ulluting River' The Canadian Trade Commissioner in Lonâ€" don, England, states that barley produced in dry sunny climates seems to contain the reâ€" quired percentage of diatatic malt. It is known that Canadian barley is well suited to the purâ€" pose. Canada has a tariff preference in the British market of ten per cent. If the Dominion is able to make offerings of brewing and feed barley in regular quantities and at competitive prices, business would appear to be feasible. Growers of barley in Canada should make efforts to improve the grade for malting purâ€" poses and thus insure an increased market. ‘ Farmers growing barley have a good marâ€" ket in the United Kingdom, one of the world‘s leading barley importers, drawing supplies from all parts of the world. During 1983 imports from all sources totalled nearly 16,000,000 ewts. of 112 lbs., valued at over 3,700,000 pounds. This was more than for any of the past three years, but somewhat below the average quantiâ€" ties formerly purchased from abroad. In 1983 the leading source of supply was Soviet Russia, followed by Roumania and the United States. Canada, with a contribution of 825,208â€" ewts. valued at 204,407 pounds, was in fifth place. ! Premierâ€"elect Hepburn and his cabinet have been formally installed in office by His Honor the Lieutenantâ€"Governor. Judging by recent statements by the Premier, he means business and intends to make good his election promises particularly in connection with Hydro affairs and the reduction by fifty per cent. of expenditures. The new government has a real opportunity to render excellent service to the people of Ontario. ' The late Mr. Jaffray was well known for his keen interest in public affairs, taking a good deal of interest in the history of Waterloo County. He enjoyed the respect of his fellow journalists and his. death at the family resiâ€" dence at Galt will be regretted by a large circle of friends in Waterloo County and many other parts of Ontario where he was best known. In the death of Mr. J. P. Jaffray, at Galt, Ontario loses one of its distinguished newsâ€" papermen. Ever since 1866 he has been at various times identified with the Galt Reporter, which was established by his father ninety years ago, In 1896 Mr. J. P. Jaffray and his brother edited the paper, during which time they took a leading part in the Ontario Hydro Electric development. The position of Speaker of the Legislative Assembly is an honorable and responsible one and requires a person of judicial mind who will be fair to all and see that personalities are kept out of debates. The new government is indeed | fortunate in having a presiding officer so well equipped to fill this important position. | The new speaker of the Legislative Assemâ€" bly is Mr. Norman O. Hipel and the appointâ€" ment will be received with warm approval not only by the electors of South Waterloo but by people of Ontario generally, The new speaker is well qualified to discharge the duties of the office. He has proven an able debater in the House and with years of parliamentary experiâ€" ence will doubtless fill the position with credit.

Report of the Financial Secretary, E.

Storm MURDERS 8â€"YEARâ€"OLD GIRL Communist movements in the United States are still directed by the Third Interâ€" nationale in Moscow notwithstanding Soviet Russia‘s official pledge to prohibit such activiâ€" ties. The murder of Frank Sigluono, exâ€"convict and petty crook, whose body was found in the seat of . a motor car near Acton on Saturday with bullet wounds in his head, should be cleared up. The authorities should not tolerate Italian gang war in Canada and it should be stamped out and not allowed to go on as is the case in the United States. ‘ The town of Waterloo stands sixth in the honor list of Ontario municipalities in regard to tax collections with but $6.09 per capita in unpaid taxes. The total taxes still in arrears at May 1st, 1934, is $60,207, a reduction of $28,684 from 1983. Of the total levy for 1934, $383,993.02, 59.47 per cent. was collected up to May 1st, 1934â€"a remarkably good record. It is hoped that the government will place men at the head of the penitentiary who will play fair with the prisoners and treat them as human beings. To have rifle shots fired into the ceiling of a convict‘s cell to scare him into keepâ€" ing quiet, is bound to cause unrest and lead to unrest and rioting among prisoners, believâ€" ing it the best way to bring their grievances to the attention of the public. ' When Sir Robert Borden was Premier, a Royal Commission was appointed and investiâ€" gated prison management and after a long inâ€" quiry a report was submitted and as far as known was pigeonâ€"holed at Ottawa and condiâ€" tions remained unchanged. l Reports emanating from Minister of Justice Guthrie, and elsewhere, indicate that all is not well at the Portsmouth Penitentiary, near Kingston. _ Many influential newspapers in Ontario have been for some time emphasizing ‘the bad conditions at the penitentiary and urgâ€" ing immediate action. Prominent men who are foremost in denouncing conditions are former Attorneyâ€"General Nickle of Ontario and a majorâ€"general in the Great War, now a Conâ€" servative Federal member for"Kingston. They demand that the Ontario institution should be: reformed throughout and competent men placed in charge. It is understood Hon. Hugh Guthrie favored. a prison investigation but Premier Bennett would not consent, believing General Ormond, head of the institution, would be able to right conditions. | Mr, 8. C. Hudson, in a review of farm property assessments in Ontario, states that it is not intended that the assessors should be personally responsible for the inaccurate assessâ€" ment of farm property but it felt rather that it is due more to inherent weakness of the assessment system which must necessarily be corrected before an adequate appraisal of the present system of property taxation can be made. His review in the Economic Analyst, published by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, is in part as follows: Nothwithstanding the factâ€"that the law provides that ‘"land shall be assessed at its actual value", the common practice of assessors is to assess property on a percentage basis. In this connection the provision of an equalization board may in itself be considered anâ€" admission that assessment is not made on the ‘basis of actual value. It has been demonstrated also that two parcels of farm real estate in the same general locality on which the respective farm operators have placed the same value may be assessed at valuaâ€" tions which differ widely. These differences resulting from inaccuracy of assessment, while significant for all properties, are greater in the lower value groups. A marked tendency to overâ€"assess lowâ€"valued properâ€" ties on the basis of their estimated valuations as comâ€" pared with highâ€"valued properties is also apparent. This was found to be due, in part at least, to the inability of assessors to give sufficient consideration to the "quality" aspect or "per acre" value of a farm together with the undue weight to the value of buildâ€" ings in assesging a farm. s ‘| ‘FARM PROPERTY ASSESSMENT CONDITIONS AT PORTSMOUTH PENITENTIARY * EDITORIAL NOTES ‘ CATTLE SEIZE TOWN A carload of cows from the parched sections of North Dakota | was unloaded at Flovilla, Ga., recentâ€" ly and as soon as the doors werr-{ opened the cattle went loco, atampedâ€" ing down Main Street and heading ‘for the neareat stream.
