The value of the raw fur production of Can- ada last year. was the highest in eight years. For the second year in succession about forty per cent of the total value came from fur farms, the balance being the takings of trappers. The fur trade year ends with June, and the latent returns are those for the period ending with june, 1937. For this period the total value of pelts sold from fur farms and taken by trappers was $16,666,000. In the year ended June, I936, the value of the raw furs was $15,464,000 and in the year ended in 1935 it was $12,843,000. The value of the fur production last year has not bet-n exceeded since 1928-29, when the furs taken and sold were valued at $18,745,000.

Young men look forward In the time when they may become In- dependent. But. for several bun- dred thousand young Canadians independence seems an unattain- able state.

That there are radical students and mdlcal professors in Canadian universities 1s beyond dispute. If there were not, Canada would be unique among all democratic coun-

THE COST 0F §TABLISHING A WET CULTIVATED CRAN- BERRY BOG.

In my Inst letter I endeavoured 11o stress the polnt that the only klnd of cranberry that It would be advlsable to esta lIsh In Prince Edward Island ls one that Ia 511p- plled with a water reaervolr of greater or less eapanlty. This fact cannot but have an Important bearing upon the total establish- ing cost, depending as It must _u1J- on the dlstanoe that has to b1‘- dltehed between the reset-vol: and the bog. As this latter condltloit will vary It would not be possible to make wIthIn reasonable bounds a general estimate of cost. I shall therefore confine my remarks to the establlshfng of the bog Itself, In which the cranberry vInes are to be planted.

The process of preparing a bog consists of ffve different opera- tlons:—-

1. Clearlng the bog of tree. shrubs, roots, weeds and stones. The cost of thIs work wIll of course dtlffer In accordance with actual surface conditions While some of the wtld bogs InCapeCod are what ntlgh-t. be called wild meadows, most of them are swamps In which large and small trees are growing interspersed wltb shrubs and a variety of weeds. There are also many fallen trees lying on the surface but not. many stones. In some cases also the sur- face Is quite uneven, all of whlclt conditions mean that the clearlng process calls for a large amount of labour, intelligently supervised. ’I'l'1e bogs that I have seen on this Island are not nearly ‘so rough, nor are the trees so large. The latttr Is Important for roots have to be completely removed.

If time of completion Is not am Important element. an Inexpensive clearing method Is tao burn off as much as possible of trees, brush and weeds and then b0 cover the bog with water for a couple of years in order to rot and kfll all vegetation, Including the roots. Care. however must be taken 11m to burn the peat soil.

2. After the bog has been cleared, the next operation Ia tlo dig a marginal ditch all around It two feet. deep and wide, and through the centre of the bog about every one hundred and fifty feet apart, other ditches leading Into the marginal ditch. These should be efghteen Inches deep and about fifteen Inches wide. These ditches wIll drain the bog and thereby permit of Its be- ing levelled. They will also serve as a permanent drainage system. 3. The next operation, leveling or grading, Is Important, for when submerglng with water, the vines at the highest. point have to be covered and, If the surface Is un- even. much more water Is required. In cases In which there Ls a gradu- bog can be dlvlded Into-separate areas on two or more levels, with dykes between them, the dykes being made of the trees. shrubs, roots, etc, that have been removed. mixed wIth sand. The sides of the dikes are covered with turf to protect them from the water submergence.

4. Sanding. When the bog has been levelled. It Is covered with sand, varylng from three m six Inches In depth. The sand Ls truck- ed to the side of the bog and then curried In bat-bows and spread by shovels and rakes. Ln Cape Cod the cost of the a- bove four operations runs from $300 to $600 per acre. Our wages are lower but we lack the expert- ence of the Cape Cod people Our sand also would In most cases have 1,0 be cart-fed a. longer dist.- ance. As explained above, .0011- dittons vary s0 greatly that one hesitates even to haszard a guess. The cost of the vines de- pends upon how closely the plant-s are set out. They can be planted six Inches apart In the rows, the rows at sIx 11o elghtleett Inches a- part. They wIll then cost from $20 to $60 per acre. -About the same figure also must. be estimated for the work of planting. Ln addition to the a tools

or cement, and In case pumping of wafer Is necessary, a pump and engine mclosed In a small house have to be provided. - These latter expenditures are variously estimated at from $150 to $359 Der acre, the number of

This would likely call for at: least a. month's steady work.
