Scientific research has been recognized as of great value in various industries, in medicine, and in the improvement and perfecting of the manufacture of numerous products. It is, therefore, only reasonable to wish and desire of the Department of Agriâ€" culture under whose jurisdiction the farm comes, to make it of real value to the farmers of not only Temiskaming district, but other parts of the North as well. It is true that the status of agriculture at the present time is far from being as satisfactory as it should be, but it does appear as if the clotuds are clearing away somewhat, and unâ€" doubtedly some improvement is being notegd in the price of farm products. For instance, the export of cattle to the United States since the month of February has created a much more favorable market than the province has | had for some time. In this connect,ion| I do not think it is too much to state : that the Demonstraticn Farm can serve a usoful purpose in helping to solve some of the marketig problems which now lie before us. Considerable spade work has already been done by the government in this respect and I am very hopeful that something tangible will result within the very near future in respect to genuine assistance in the marketing of farm products. "The farm will be used more extenâ€" sively as an educational institution for Junior farmers, and will in the main be operateq by junior farmers under the direction of M. F.

The Advance believes this letter will be |read ‘by many of its readers and so Ireproduces the letter in full as folâ€" ‘llows:â€"â€" Ontario Government Again Operates l the "Farm" "The 330â€"acre property owned by the government and situated immediately north of New Liskeard on the North road, that for many years was Operâ€" ated as a Demonstration Farm, was reâ€" opened April 1st, and will again funcâ€" tion in its former capacity, "At the time the farm was disconâ€" tinued two years ago April l1st, it will bo recollected there was a valugable herd of Holstein cattle® on the farm that had been built up by breeding and selection. One threeâ€"year heifer had a recerd of over 15,000 pcunds of milk per year, testing 3.8 per cent. butter fat, There was also a valuable flock of pureâ€"bred Shropshire sheep, a strain that had been selected from for upwards of twenty years. |tive for the whole immense area of Cochrane riding, stretching from Queâ€" bec to Manitoba and from below Raâ€" more to the North Pole, there should be at least two for this ‘big territory. D. J. Pomerleau, | representative of agrculture for the ! district of Cochrane, has certainly done great work for his territory. But no one man can possibly cover so large a territory with any hope of complete success, There should ‘be two repreâ€" sentatives at the leass for the Cochâ€" rane district. One could look after the territory east and west of Cochrane, and that would in itself be a big job. The other coulg lcok after all the terâ€" ritory south Of Cochrane. That also would be a full "man‘s job" for any active man. Two representatives could do three or four times as much good for the settlers as one man is able to do with all the handicaps of time and | distance. The Advance has persistently urged the appointment of a second agricultural representative for the 'large area. Tho government will cerâ€" | tainly prove its good faith if it makes such an appointment. The fact that the provincial demonâ€" stration farm at New Liskeard has been reâ€"opened would suggest that the Onâ€" tario Government is alive to the agriâ€" | cultural possibilities and needs of the North Land.

But his best wishes will be with the King. Hicks, now 72, operates a small wcodâ€" working factory in Newberg. As a young man in the navy, however, he sailed the seven seas with the Duke of York, now King of England. Hicks became a commander. At 36, an ear injury caused his retirement from the navy. The Duke of York, who had no thought of Gecoming kingâ€" for he had an elder brotherâ€"suddenly became heir to the throne when his D. S. Linden, editor of the magaâ€" zine, "Mines and Oils," visited South Porcupine last week. Among those on whom he called at South End were Messrs Gallagher and Preston.

"The cver expanding development of the North will, I feel, continue to proâ€" vide an outlet for large quantities of farm produce and it will be my endeayâ€" our to impress upon the government the importance of having this market served in so far as it possibly can be done by the producers of the North. This, I feel, can be accomplished by having the coâ€"peration of the Governâ€" ment, by demonstration work, by quality production, grading and bulk marketing. lals in the control of discase will be aimed at, and the grading of such crops will be useq in connection with the marketing work in mind.

Of these 50 mills, 27 were in Ontarioâ€"establishâ€" ing more firmly than ever the supremâ€" acy of this province cver her sister proâ€" vinces in a gold producing sense. During the year many of the oldet established â€" producers= underwent . a change in their policy. Where they had heretofore mined their richer orebodis, they turned to veins which would give a lower.. returny but whichâ€"would still enable them to operate at a profit, In this way they are holding their more productive reserves for the time when there may be a recession in the price of gold. While the output of gcld has inâ€" creased only 45 per cent. in the last five years, the milling capacity of Canadian mines has increased by 112 per cent,. This difference is explained by the fact that new processes for reâ€" covering the metal from crude ore and marked advances in the world price for gold have mads the operation of many lowâ€"grade preperties a profitâ€" able venture toâ€"day, whereas in 1930 their position would have been almost hopeless.

According to word freoem Ottawa last week, for eleven consecutive years the gold mines of Canada have annually increased their .gold output, until toâ€" day Canada ranks high among world gold producing nationsâ€"and when that statement is made of Canada, Ontario naturally comes to mind, for it is the leading gold producing province of the Dominion.
