conclude that any potatoes of good appearance will make good seed tuhers states john tucker division of botany experimental farms branch dom inion department of agriculture apparent soundness of the tubers constitutes no guaranty of freedom from diseases for they may carry virus diseases which are not recog nizable in the tuber but which nevertheless seriously affect the yield and quality of the crop the only way to be sure of seed that is practically free of these troubles is to buy certified seed certified potatoes are tubers that have been grown expressly for seed purposes from vigorous plants and are of good type true to variety these potatoes have been inspected during the growing season for dis eases and must conform to definite seed standards both in the field and after harvest official tags are issued for such seed stock exclusively and no other type of label carries official recognition of seed potatoes what ever if the official tag is not on every container the potatoes should not be accepted as certified seed there are no regulations in effect which prevent anyone from using any kind of potatoes for seed pur poses and some of the stores are selling table potatoes in their seed departments but it is the buyers privilege if he pays more than regular table stock prices to de mand the official tag otherwise he may get only talble potatoes with no reliable assurance whatever that they are free of virus diseases well over a million bushels of cer tified seed have been sold annually for the past ten years and a million bushels have already been sold from the 1936 crop the bulk which have been exported to dis criminating foreign markets the best potato growers in other countries appear to appreciate the value of good seed and in spite of plentiful local supplies will pay the additional freight and tariff charges to secure canadian certified seed potatoes facts about york county and its improved financial standing bethesda miss velma bolender was home

finance committee of the york county council in presenting the financial statement of operations of york county council for the year ending 31st december 1936 to the members of the york county council so that all our members and particularly the new members of county council thero are 15 new- members this year out of a total of 49 may get a broader picture of the county of york and a back ground of its recent financial history i submit a brief word picture the county of york is composed of 26 local municipalities made up of 12 townships s towns and 6 villages it extends in length some thing over 70 miles with an equal ized assessment of approximately 5132000000 and a population of 236000 our county is partly rural and partly urban the latter sprinkled with industrial centres within the county in the area skirting on the city of toronto we have 12 municipalities with a total population of 174000 people further within the county we have 5 municipalities each with popula tions greater than that required to become a city one of these mun cipalities having a population of 73000 people from this you will see that on a basis of population the county of york is not only the largest county but the second largest municipal corporation in the province of ontario yielding first place only to the city of toronto on the 20th december 1932 it was found that many municipalities due to heavy relief and welfare requirements and an inability to collect the same amount of their taxes were unable to pay their county levy and the year finished with certain municipalities in arrears of levy to the county of york naturally had a corres ponding bank loan at that time it was publicly stated by certain members of county council as well as others in financial circles that many of these outstanding levies would never or could never be collected considerable publicity was given at the time to this condition and as a result the price of our bonds went down lelow 80 reaching a low i believe of around 78 our bank at that time found it necessary to decline to increase loans until such time as they could ibe assured that they had proper security and that the outstanding levies would be collected for a time tho county of york was unable to issue any cheques until the approval of the bank was first secur ed for each one many prophesied that it would be necessary for the county of york to apply for super vision under part 6 of the ontario municipal board act during the year 1933 aggressive leadership was given by the warden and commissioners finance com mittee a long with the members of county council actively fighting from day to day to ward off this condition in order to be brief may i say that by the end of 1933 every dollar owing to the county of york by way of levy for the preceding year had been collected in addition to interest penalties incurred there on and the spectre of supervision bad reired partially at least in the background in the past and in each succeed ing year the county of york has had aggressive and prudent leader ship and finances since 1933 have been on a pay as you go basis issuing no new debentures we have had four consecutive balanced budgets with substantial surpluses each year and during the same time we have reduced our debenture debt by approximately 30000000 at the end of 1936 we again have a balanced budget with a cumula tive surplus of 2810229 and a bank loan of approximately 190- 00000 less than 31st december 1935 gormley mr e jones is confined to his bed with inflamatory rheumatism we hope for a speedy
