is what York county councillors have been asking each other all year The phrase undue burden is the county slogan and the members of this body must be saying in their sleep over and over again Since the heavy assessments of the former County of York were lowed up by Metropolitan Toronto county councillors have made sure that the cry of pain has been heard faff and wide They have done a good job of it A large pail of the financial burden of the former county is now being carried by percent of the assess ment of the former county Because of this undue bur den an application is to be made to the Ontario Munici pal Board for financial aid For months councillors have been talking about the application which had delayed until the adoption of a budget The budget finally was passed at the end of June With the passing of the months the shadow of th6 undue burden increased Councillors became nervous about what the Ontario Municipal Boards attitude would be They became so wrapped up in the business of undue burden and so intent on making an impressive presentation for the Ontario Municipal Board that the undue burden became a confusion of burdened bud get items and burdened discussions during the ses One member of council even suggested that the budget for essential services be cut down arguing that if the taxpayers could support such a high budget no aid would be given That is how confusing the issue had become Now the councillors have gone home The budget is set and the decision by the Ontario Municipal Board will be made on facts presented before it Now that the clamor is over the countys position is in no way than it was at tjte Jbhnihg of the is den is a burden and the simple answer after the shouting and the county has too tiy of the former county now carries

Top Six Inches The price of fall wheat has been slipping steadily since haying started probably in an ticipation of the new crop There could have been some unsold amounts of wheat in the country but whatever the cause of it is we know that one the good cash crops of this dis trict has ceased to be a source of extra income to follow such other crops as malting barley A few years hack malting barley was a nice crop It was difficult to grow but the good farms that could do so did well with it A good yield per acre often outdid fall wheat for cash return By last year however it was hardly worth bothering with it cost just much money to feed it and we would be surprised if there is as much grown this year with the price of mill feeds so high and the raw material it comes from being down will have to feed more of it We are going to try to crush it or roll it and use a high per centage mixed with oats and molasses with maybe a 35 per cent concentrate In any case we will go on growing it One cannot help feel though how stupid this whole business is The farmer has difficulties selling his raw material yet the same raw material in this case wheat produces some of the feeds he needs Yet there is a decrease in the price of the byproduct The milling com panies will lose some business and as far as we concerned they are welcome to lose it all Let us hope that the much praised system of supply and demand wilt hit them just as hard it hits the farmer Now fall wheat is following the same pattern Fall wheat however is of One of these days dairy cows special interest in this area may
