Ul LIIU to (Iunudu. tho Gaelic m The General Manager in his address at the Annual Meeting on 16th January referred to the more important changes in the balance sheet during the year, as follows-- Total Assets-$120,161,618., an improvement of $3,162,455. Of this amount $62,803,981. or 60.23% of our total liabilities to the public, consists of cash or assets readily convertible into cash. Loans and Advances-$52,589,405., after writing off all bad and doubtful debts and making full provision for all unsatisfactory accounts, show an increase of $4,157,178. This reflects some increase in the volume of business being done by commercial borrowers. Securities -- at not more than market prices--$35,536,715. Of these, 98% consist of Government and Municipalw -mainly short date and readily market- able. The bank is in a strong position to meet demands of Canadian industry as general conditions improve.

Trap lnest records are the best means of selecting birds for this purpose. however, where these are not avail- able, it is considered wise to select females of good substance, body ca- pacity, clean cut, well dened heads, with good clean at boned shanks, `and a good healthy vigour and activity. Choose only `hens that lay eggs averaging; twenty- four ounces to the dozen. The male birds should if possible be selected from among birds of known parent- ` age. appearance of ; I ----- I I Ontario Plowmen Men! 1 l The Ontario Ploug'hmen s Associa- . ltion in annual meeting on Feb. 5th ; ireceived an invitation to hold the next International Match in Huldi- V lmand County, and the directors (10- lcidod to accept.
