Tudhope, Red Clover Seed For the rst time in many years the 1931 crop assures a substantial surplus of domestic red clover seed. The annual consumption of this seed in Canada is about three million pounds, while the 1931 production will be between four and ve million. Usually red clover has been relative- ly high in price, but owing to the heavy production this year and the weakness of export markets there ap pear good prospects for cheaper red clover seed next spring, cheaper seed it might be exp that `consumption will be so stimulated as to make use of all the 1931 crop. Red clover is perhaps the most gen- erally grown legume crop in Canada, and provides cheap protein feed for live stock, in addition to being a cheap source of nitrogen for soil en- richment. and with . ected 1 ` Luck for 4 5 presented 2 1 HL all Clerk.j th` PAY RURAL TAXES ` IN INSTALMENTS Parent Industry to U1-gel Amendment to Municipal Act.

As a dirt farmer, there are many things I would like to discuss lwith out labor friends. I also want .to say that the great mass of the farmers of Ontario have, duly or un- labor stands.

Probably the dry goods merchant gets it first. He passes it on to the hardware merchant in payment of an account. The hardware merchant pays it in wages to one of his employees. This employee pays it to his landlady, who pays a grocery bill with it. The grocer can then pay his butcher. The butcher passes this on to his produce mer- chant, and this roduce merchant, buying largely from the farmer, passes this ten ollars back to the farmer, from whom it originally came.

He said he and I his father had lived alone in the house in Alliston since September, 1930. Previous to that his father had lived alone for 17 years. It was his job to do the house work and get the meals. He stated the food was not very good and that for weeks at a time they would be without meat. It was this kind of complaint that started the trouble the day the old . man was killed. - To questions from the crown prose- cutor, the witness repli.ed that his father always wanted to lock up the ` house at eight o clock at night, and : on several occasions when he had not been home at this time, his father ` had locked him out. When he went to live with his father he had about twenty-[ve dollars. Some of this he had spent for food, so that he had nothing left. He said his father had often told him to get out, but when : he said he would go the father ask ed him to stay, saying he did not know how he would get along with- out him. `I'l\-. 4-Ln v-nnwninrr ~H- lnunnnhnri T crni out mm. a On the morning it happened I got 1 breakfast and he complained of the food, said the Witness. ``I told himlf he had locked me out three nights. and we started to quarrel.
