DEAR Simâ€"Under instruction of the Hon. Minister of Agriculture an- other distribution of sample packages of the best and most rnductive sorts of cereals, &c., is now lie,ng made from the Central Experimental Farm. Ot- tavya. The distribution Will consist,as heretofore, of samples of oats, spring wheat, barley. field pease. Indian corn, and potatoes. Each sample will weigh three pounds. The quality of the seed will be of the best, the. varieties true to name and the packages will be sent “free to applicants, through the mail. The object in view is the improvement of the character and quality of the grain, &-c., grown in Canada, an effort xvidely appreciated, and the choice of -varieties to be sent» out will be confined to those which have been found to succeed well at the. Expeliniental Farms. These. samples will be Sent oniy to those who apply personally, lists of societies or individuals cannot be con- sidered. Only one sample. of one. sort can be. sent to each applicant, hence if an individual receives a sample of oats he cannot also receive one of wheat or barley. Applications should be. ad- dressed to the Director of Experimen- tal Farms, Ottawa, and may be sent any time before the fifteenth of March. after which date the lists will be. closed. so that the. samples asked for may all be sent outin good time for sowing. Parties writing will please mention the sort of grain they would prefer i and should the available stock of the ‘ variety named be exhausted, some other good sort will be sent in its place. Letteis may he sent to the Ex- perimental Farm, free of postage. “'31. SAUNDERS. I Director Experimental Farms :‘OITAWA. Jamaal-y, 1900. 5 A very fair presentment oi the matter of railway rates as viewed by the shipper is contained in the re- marks of the chairman of the hard- ‘ware and metal section of the Toronto 'Board of Trade, when presenting his -' annual report the other day to that body. “The question offreight rate” he said, “ is a serious matter to the members of these trades, as the re- cent extraordinary advances in the rates on iron and steel commodities emphasize. It is of vital importance that some just and equitable system of levying these charges should Le adopted by the Canadian railroads. .The policy of making one section of 'tlie community make up for the loss incurred by carrying foreign or through traffic, and of making rates favorable to one place to the detri- ment of another which has existed so long, should not be permitted to state: sided roads, deriving all their powers and privileges from the people, and no effort should be spared to bring the public mind to the point ofinsist- ing on their rights through Govern- oontrol or otherwise." A deputation from Toronto waited upon the Postmaster-General a few ‘days ago to petition for a reduction ‘of the drop letter rate in cities from 'tWo cents to the old rate of one cent. ‘The rate was doubled by the late 'Government at a time when each year showed a large and growing deficit in the Post Office Depart- ment, and now that the vastly im- rproved method has almost restored the financial equilibrium it is not an unreasonable proposition to ask that the rates be restored. The great re- ‘duetions that have already been made, however, first by cutting down i the imperial rate from five cents to two cents, and then the domestic "rate from three cents to two cents, ihaving necessarily caused a tempor- =ary shrinkage in the revenue, and it ‘is obviously wise and necessary to ‘wait until the increased business "which will result once more equalized lrevenue and expenditure before mak- «ing greater reductions. "This was! Ythe contention advanced by the Post- ?mas'ter-General in reply to the peti- 9tion of the Toronto deputation, but :mtimawd very clearly that, he would. jgladly make the reduction as soon as. *prudence would permit.
