According to the currency statement of the Finance Department, ‘the percentage of gold held against Dominion notes at the end of January was 54.7 During Deâ€" cember the gold basis of Dominion notes went up from 37 to 50.3 per cent., and the same process was conâ€" tinued in January. It is nsarly six years since the percentage of gold was so high, 1917 showing an average of 67. The following year the gold fell to 41 per cent., and has remained lowâ€" er ever since. ‘The [betterment in the gold basis during January. was due both to an increase in the gold holdings and to a decrease in the Dominion notes outâ€" standing. The cireulation of Dominion notes and curreney in January was $240,5905,852.42, as compared with $257,269,125.42; while the gold holdâ€" ings dgainst notes rose from,$129,432,â€" 385.80 in December to $131,640,356.91 in January. During January there was a reducâ€" tion in the value of the Dominion notes held against approved securities under the Finance Act. At the end of December these amounted to $94,â€" 594,074.92, but at the end of January ha® fallen to $77,888,512.40, RATIO OF GOLD TO NOTES INCREASES IN DOMINION To keep some men Along the right track, A bust on the bean Beats a pat on the ‘back TRUE ENUE Mtr. J. P. 8. Ballantyné, in charge of the Experimental Station at Kaâ€" puskasing, Ont., writes the following interesting and helpful ariicle on ‘"Clover Seed Production in Northern Ontario‘‘:â€" working, it is expected the 700 feet will be reached April Ist. At a depth of about seven hundred feet number one vein should ‘be encountered in the shaft. This vein is to ‘be over sixty feet wide at the threeâ€"hundredâ€" foot level. Drifting along this vein will be carried on to a point four hunâ€" dred feet east to a junetion where surâ€" face indications are very favorable. The shareholders unanimously®* enâ€" dorsed the action of the directors in the recent purchase of adjoining claims. CLOVER A GO0D CROP SFTTLERS IN NORTR LARD The growing of clover seed in norâ€" thern Ontario should ibe one of the main features of agricultural work for several reasons. ‘The virgin soil of northern Ontario is lacking in niâ€" trogen, and clover is one of the great est ecatherers of this valuable element Whether seed from the second crop will be a success is doubtful, owing to the early frosts that occasionally ocâ€" cur in the north. Seed has been threshed from the second erop, though not in paying quantities. The first cut at the Station so far has given the better results; and so it is posstble that only one erop can be procured from the land each year. If a green crop of forage were cut as a soiling ecrop or cured into hay in the latter part of June, it might be possible to secure a crop of seed from the second cut under normal conditions. As a rule there is a heavy rainfall in the autumn, and the moist soil keeps new shoots coming on constantly. When this oceurs it is difficult to handle the seed crop, since clover for seed must be absolutely dry to get the best reâ€" sults from threshing, and also to 0bâ€" tain the good quality of seed which will command a top price on the marâ€" ket. N Clover does exceptionally well on the clay soil of northern Ontarioâ€" and practically all the soil is composâ€" ed of clay, except the muck areas, and even they have a clay suwbsoil. One area that was seeded in 1920 is still per cent red clover and a thick even stand. At the present time an experiment is ‘being conducted to determine whether this strain of clover will perâ€" sist in its perennial nature. If elover will live for several years it is all the more important and advisable that the farmers of northern Ontario utilize it not only as a hay erop, but as a seedâ€" producing erop also. ANNUAL, MEETING COF THE MARCH GOLD MINES LIMITZED Clover Does Well Here and Also Helps Fertility. Heavy Snowâ€" Fall Protscts Plants. Clover does exceedingly well here, and the plants are protected against the climate by a heavy snowfall which usually comes before the ground is frozen to any depth. Hencee there is little winterâ€"killing. ‘Clover as a forâ€" age crop is unexcelled, and it is one of the most important grown on the farm, as it adds to soil fertility and makes a balanced ration for stock of all kinds. It is a good eash erop for hay as well as feed. â€" At the annual meeting of March Gold, Limited, the report of thge sident, Bert C. Conderman, was reâ€" ceived with much interest. erection of the plant in September, 19821, considerable work has been done on ‘both num‘ber one and number two veins.
