This is the conclusion drawn from a study of the third annual survey ot t nit- growing in the Niagara district con- ducted by the Department of agricul- tural Economics of the Ontario Agri- cultural College, in which the busi- nesses ot 123 farms are summarized. 10bituary ‘35 The extent to which specialized farming is carried on in this district is shown by the report. Over 90 per cent. of the totarrevenue of most of the farms surveyed came from the sale of fruit and vegetables. Returns per acre under such a degree of in- tensification were hig,h, but expenses were correspondingly great. The land valuation was $727 per acre and the average farm contained 37.6 acres which means an average real estate capital of $27,336. Included in the survey were 19 farms under 10 acres, " between 10 and 20 acres, 23 be- tween 20 and 30 acres, 23 between 30 and 50 acres, 24 between 50 and 100, and eight over 100 acres. In none (tt the groups was the balance left after allowing wages to the operator sutti- cient to pay a very large return tur- on capital invested. It was only in the case of groups containing over 50 acres that there was enough left to pay interest upon the actual invest- ment in buildings, machinery and plantings, without considering the land at all.

Tindale, of Wilkie, one of the earliest ministers in the Nottawa settlement, rose to conduct the funeral service. Despite the very inclement weather and bad roads,. practically the whole neighborhood in which the Palmer family live, had gathered together to pay respects to the dead and to pay tribute to the memory of a splendid neighbor and truly Christian man. Brethren of the Masonic Lodge act- ed as pallbearers--many vehicles escorted the cortege to the burial ground at Adanac, where, after a short committal service by Rev. R. Y. Tindale, minister of the Methodist Church, the Masonic brethren took charge and went through their funeral rites. , Mrs. J.

ALBA DANIEL PALMER The following article from the Wilkie, Sask. press will be of interest to many people in this district as it concerns an old resident ot Grimsby. Mr. Palmer had passed the allot- ted span of three score years and ten, but he was one of the kind that we can ill afford to lose, and the words of the Old Book are indeed applicable to _ him: "He being dead, yet speaketh." _ The following programme will be given by the Hamilton No. 1 Salvation Army Band, in the Presbyterian Church, Grimsby, on Friday, May 9th, at 8 Fm.:-- Mr. Palmer died suddenly of heart failure on April 9th. He was born in Grimsby on January 3rd, 1851, a son of the late Brock Palmer. The whole of the neighboring com- munity bordering on Wilkie were shocked at the unexpected sudden death ot Mr. Alba Daniel Palmer from heart failure last week. Mrs. Palmer had been away last winter and she was on her way home when the news reached her at Vancouver. March-find Band Vocal Solo----").)
