against co at the present time relief costs in january 1934 were almost double january 1935 credit being given the relief officer for the reduction it is also fair to say of course that markham has a

much needed income cattle raising along with other phases of agriculture has been iu the doldrums more or less for a longer period than most farmers care to think about there hasnt been much money in raising cattle these last few years hut tanners are noted for their dogged patience and they tightened their belts and awaited a better day now according to mr marshall that day is near at hand speaking to the ontario veterinary associa tion a few nights ago the veteran minister of agriculture predicted that within the next six months the farmers of ontario will tie receiv ing the highest price for their cattle in many years he based his pre diction on facts which he had obtained from a personal visit to tire stockyards of chicago aud st paul prophesied change in grants for twp roads

knows the value of quality stock and he has plans to raise the standard in ontario by judicious breeding probably few men in the whole of canada have a hotter knowledge of agriculture in all its phases than has the minister of agriculture his outlook is that of the man on the land and he knows what must be done to bring better times to rural ontario in keeping with government poli cy expenditures in the department of agriculture must be reduced but mr marshall is seeing to it that the grants to agricultural fairs are not eliminated the value of these annual fairs cannot he overestimat ed and he proposes to aid them in every way possible for the commission to have reduced the service charge ever so slightly than to have wasted such effort as was needed to ascertain the names of farmers using washing machines and radios it would have eliminat ed the work of constantly checking these farmers to see that they have not discontinued the use of these articles baggage
