In Ontario, Saskat- chewan and British Columbia this work is done under the su- pervision of provincial Dapart- ments of Agriculture, while in the other six provinces it is car- ried out under the supervision of the Dominion Live Stock Branch, Since 1926 the number of asso- ciations entered have increased from 85 to 320, the number of herds from 1195 to 4061, and the number of cows from 12,142 to 37,772 (for 1931). During the past six years there has been an increase of 16,928 cows complet ing records for eight months or more, with an average increase in production of 815 pounds of milk and 55.78 pounds of butter-fat per cow. THE FARMER CONTROLS COST "The cost of producing crops is at all times a very important considemation," observes E. 8. Hopkins, B.S.A., M.S.,, Phd., Do- minion Field Husbandman. "Re- turn values are morg or less con- trolled by the law of supply antl demand or by other prevailing conditions, and the producer 8 very little influence upon e price he will receive for his pm™®- duct. He has, however, some con- trol over his cost of production and the economy with which he produces his crop may mean the difference between profit and loss on that crop. In times of depres- sion and low prices this is dou- bly important. If profits are to be maintained when prices are low costs must be. measured accord- ingly."

The dynamite was rigged to ex- plode when a train crossed the con- tacts of the automatic signal sys- tem at that point. A tramp, sleep- ing beneath the bridge, gave the alarm after he had frightened .two men away. Police swept over the district immediately, but so far have found no trace of the men. Wires from the explosive were attached to each rail of the track. A passenger express train, due to pass the point shortly after the ex: plosive was found, would have closed the circuit and exploded the dynamite.. : After the men had run away, Transient, a foreigner, gathered up the dynamite which he found had been pushed into the gravel between the ties, and ran with them to the railway station, Here, he tripped and fell in his excitement, scatter- ing the explosives all over the sta- tion platform, Fortunately the dynamite did not explode.. There was sufficient dynamite in the bundle to have blown up a large part of the town of Oakville, and the hunt increased in intensity as the news of the attempt spread. MANS CAPTURED AFTER LONG CHASE (Continued from page 1) manner with the alleged theft. Brother Involved After Lloyd had been brought to the City Police Station, and form- ally arrainged before Magistrate T. K. Creighton and remanded for one week at the request of the Crown authorities, further information was received by the police which involv- ed the brother, Edwin. As the result of this develop- ment the two officers who had pre- viously arrested Lloyd Horner re- turned to the home on College Hill being just in time to learn that Edwin had driven away in his bro- ther's car, a Star touring modcl bearing license plates NV-639. Officer Warned Assuming that Edwin Horner would make for his home in Ottawa word was immediately flashed to the police authorities in centres along the highway east of Oshawa, Provincial Officer" Purvis receiving his instructions to be on the look out for the car in question. With the first visit to the Horner home. on College Hill taking place at about 9.45 o'clock this morning the result of this prompt action by the City Police may be gathered from the fact that Edwin Horner was arrested by Detective Sergeant Flintoff at about five minutes to twelve \ o'clock noon. Officer Purvis spotted the sedan touring car, with its lone occupant, driving east just as it entered the village of Newcastle, The car was travelling at a fast rate but not so fast that Purvis, on his high-pow- ered motor-cycle was unable® to catch it and draw up alongside. Thrown From Motorcycle On seeing that he had been re- cognized by the Provincial Police Officer, who demanded that the car be brought to an instant stop, Ed- win Horner is stated to have swerv- ed his car in such a manner that it crashed into the motor-cycle rid- den by Purvis, throwing the officer heavily to the highway and damag- ing the machine to an extent which had not been ascertained at the time of going to press, while it is interesting to note that the speed- ometer on the officer's machine registered 70 miles per hour when it was examined later. Continued Chase Officer Purvis, although badly bruised and 'shaken, abandoned his damaged motor-cycle where it lay and was picked up by Burton Mor- ton, of Harold, Ont., who was driv- ing along the highway with a lady companion. By this time, for some reason which still awaits explanation, Ed- win Horner had made a "U" turn with the intention of retracing his course to Oshawa, Chase to Oshawa On seeing this Officer Purvis, rid- ing on the running-board of Mr. Morton's car, followed his. quarry as closely as possible, carrying his gun'in his hand and repeatedly call- ing above the noise of the speed- ing automobiles for Edwin Horner to stop. With other cars following closely, notably a sedan bearing a Massa- chusetts license the occupants of which are believed to have seen the collision between the car driven by Edwin Horner and the officer's motor-cycle, the procession made its way at a tremendous speed, through the town of Bowmanville and over the whole distance of fourteen miles to Oshawa. wa. ol As the result of this rumors and reports were recelved by The Times office regarding bank hold- ups, manslaughters, and other acts violence which it was believed had been committed, while as the pro- cession passed The Times office in Bowmanville, travelling, it was com- puted at about sixty miles an hour, word was flashed to the Oshawa office to be on the look-out for the exciting chase. City Police in Touch The city police were kept in close touch with developments as Edwin Horner closely pursued by Officer Purvis, neared the eastern bound- ary of this city, Acting Chie Flin- toff being ready to take whatever steps where necessary to apprehend the fugitive just as soon as he en- tered Oshawa. Realizing that he would be stop- ped before he had gone many more yards, and with several] police cars COMING EVENTS MADAME NEVADA AT 77 OM- tario St., till Friday. 5b) (45b WESTMOUNT PAVILION TO- night, Bessie Bell and her Co- Eds.

(46a) closing in on him, Edwin Horner, still 'travelling at a dangerous speed, made a left-hand tur,, down Albert Street, his car crashing into the southern corner of the Alger Press building so great was his speed. Surrounded by Police Edwin Horner, jumping from the car, made his way into the yards of the bulldings in the approximate square surrounded by Kingz, Albert, Athol and Celina Streets, a small army of officers also o,, foot being in close pursuit and the honour of making the actual arrest falling to the Acting Chief himself, Edwin Horner was closely guard- ed ..d taken to the Police Station in a police car and locked up in an individual cell, Information was immediately laid by Officer Purvis regarding the re- ported action of Edwi, Horner in deliberately colliding with the offi- cer in the execution of his duty, while Officer Purvis also reported that, while between Newcastle and Bowmanville, a large bag, after- wards found to contai,, chigken fea- thers, had been thrown from the car driven by his quarry on to the highway. No Statement from Horner Edwin Horner, a heavily built man standing probably over six feet had made no voluntary statement to the police prior to the time of this paper going to press. According to information given to Acting Chief Flintoff by Lloyd Hor- ner, and goroborated by Edwin, the latter is a case in which surgical and medical treatment has failed to alleviate a case of ' cancerous growth, It is stated that such a growth was recently removed from Edwin Horner's nose, a similar growth later been discovered on the brain. When questioned by» ghe police, following his arrest, EdW&z is re- ported to have said "it does not matter about me. No one can help me. [I shall probably be dead in a few days or weeks anyway, but I want to do all I can to help my brother, Lloyd." Edwin was found to be quite un- ons whatsoever, when searched at the Police Station but his whole appearance and physique indicated that he would be a difficult man to tackle under any circumstances.
