The collective system of selling 'famm produlcts, though comparative- 1y 8. new idea as far as many `lines -are concerned, is not by any means new to a large and ever increasing number of [Canadian sheep owners, who have for the past 5 or 6 years been marketing their annual wool clip in ,this fashion. Establishing their own selling agency in 1918, as the Canadian Co-Operative VVoo1 Growers, Limited, and nwmibering at the present time some 2500 share- holders, With more than 10,000 patrons, they have marketed on the co-operative plan over 19,500,000 pounds of Canadian wool in 5 years. This quantity of wool has been placed in Clan-adian, English and American markets, every pound elf- fectively graded by expert wool men supplied by the Dominion Live -Stock Branch before being offered for sale. In doing this a reputation has been built up for a standardized line of Canadian graded eece wools, a much improved Canadian wvool clip has been produced, a decided educational inuence has been ex- erted on the producers and every shipper has receivd the last possible cent for every pound of wool ship- Iled, dependent upon` its grade, gen- eral quality and cleanliness. In speaking more pa~rticul~arly of Ithe Province of Ontario, more and `more converts are bein-g added each `year to this new idea, as each con- -sistent and satised shipper spreads the news as to the good results ob- tained. In 1922 some 3500 Ontario sheep owners consigned their clips to one of the grading stations, Wes- ton, Guelph or Carleton Place, and (present indications are that more "than 4000 will do likewise during the present season. 'Dhe central wool warehouse at Weston, with a capacity of four million pounds, is open to receive shipmenits at any `time. A second grading station operates at Carleton Place from .June rst to July fteenth; four cars will be loaded at Guelph during June and special loading days are being arranged `-for at local centres in most of the larger sheep sections. _ In Simcoe County, Agricultural Repersentatives A. Hutchi-son at Barrie and J. J. E. Mccague at Allistvon a-re assisting with the load- ing of cars at the following points: Eimvale, Friday, June 8. Barrie, Saturday, June 9. Stayner, Monday, June 11. Beeton, Tuesday, June 12. p The idea is to obtain a .full car- oad, if possible, at each point and hue reduce by at least one half, the 0st of tnansportation. Wool sacks nd paper twine will be available at he car. They also may be obtain- d by communication with the near- st agricultural representative, or lse from the Canadian Co-Operative t Toronto. All sheep owners are rged to bring their wool to the lea-rest of these points or else make irect individual shipment to Wes- nn @132 Nmrtitb mm zmmm J5 Ine ngul. luau. 111 L116 u:5u'|, puauc.

The councilnlors were at rst some- what ignorant of the correct form of pr cedure, but soon learned how the business of legislrating is carried nn The Council very quickly disposed of the motions. There was but little discussion and almost every motion was passed unanimously. It would, penhaps, be mu-ch better if there was more discussion. It'is in discunssing the topics brought be- ore the Council that the youthful councillors will gain initiative, :1 quality essentially necessary to the politician. Interest in the Council will lag if the councillors lack the ` courage of their convictions. In addition to attending to the motions and the by-law, the Coun- cil was addressed by A.

Mr. Murdock, on being called up- on for an accounting of his steward- ship of the past four years, gave a very clear and concise accounting for many of the charges aimed at the Fanmer Government during the life of the 15th islatwre of On- tario. His ex-planlat on of the diffi- culties which beset the Fammer Government at its first session were interesting, when one must take in- to consideration the fact that only two memlbers of the U.F.O. faction had previous Painlliamenvtary emper- ience, whilst on the side of the op- positi-on were such old experienced um-r hnr-up-z as (2. `Ffnwnar Fm'Lrnnn_ PUSIIJUII WBYU SUCH uxu UKpUl'1!:l1|JUu Wm` horses as G.

Nevertheless, it did finish its aliloted time of` four sessions, with credit not only to its leader, but a. credit to the Province of On- tario as well, said the speaker. Mir.

Murdock placed the net debt of Ontario at about $64,000.- O00.00. or a net per capita. debt of about $22.00, and in comparison with the per capita debt of other Provinces, it stood second, Quebec being about $21.30, other Pnovinces ranging from" $35 to $55, while that of British Colxunmibia is nearly $70.00 pencapita.

ANDREWS CHOIR A GIVE FINE CONCERT _y`ua.na UL wsc, I old time vigm mean ability. Splendid Egntation of Hiawatha s VVedding Feast. In spite of the unfavorable Wee.-V t-her Tuesday night, St. Andrew a. church was crowded to the doors when the choir, under the direction of Ednnund Hardy, choirmaster and organist, gave a delightful concert. Mr. Lionel Bilton, Cellist, of To- ronto, gave several selections which were much enjoyed. The cantata, Hiawetha s Wed- ding Feast, was the outstzmdsing nunrber on the p-rograinnue. With a full choir and Mr. Hardy at the big organ, the rendering of this beautiful cantata took over half an hour and the audience was held spellbound till the closing note died away. The first part of the pro- granmme consisted of selections on the organ by Mr. Ha-rdy, selections by the choir, piano selections by Missy Hazel Marshall and by Miss I-Iildretxh Lennox, accompanied by Mr. Hardy at the organ, duet by Mrs. Hardy and Mrs. MoCu.llou'.g`h. solos by Miss Bremner, Miss Me- Callum and Harry Shannon. The celalo selections by Mr. Bilton made pleasing variation and were much enjoyed. The programme on the whole was most pleasing and Mr. I-I'a.rdy and the choir are to be high- ly cornmended for the evening's en- tertiainment.
