That man’s (arm is building' up. year by year; the valueoof land in the vicinity rises, and all benefit; even the far- mer who does not loyally support his mtory finds himself in a better po- sition, merely from its presence. The rest of the stock on the farm also derive an enhanced value from the by-products of the factory, and this is an additional 'argument in favor of the Dairying ilndustry. In the "Great West" the time is approach- ing when even wheat growing must. in a great extent, give place to Mixed Farming and Dairying as' the following paragraph indicates:

TORONTO, Ibis. 5-Charles li. Saunders. discoverer of Marquis wheat and other varieties. formerly of the experimental farm at Ottawa. does not anticipate an immense in- crease in wheat growing in. Canada in the future but looks for great _im- provement of other farm products,'he said in the course of an address yesterday. `

“Wheat exporting on an extensive

scale is not good economy,” he said. "You must not, therefore, look for- ward to an indefinite increase in the quantity of wheat grown because farmers will find it will pay them better to adept diirersnt methods or farming where wheat will be a little less important and they will look forward to exporting beef, mutton, pork, butter, cheese. poultry and eggs.” Marquis wheat is estimat/ed to cover

about 90 per cent of the wheat area in Western Canada, Mr. Saunders stated. As to what Marquis

STAINED CLOVEB SEED

Do you know the meaning of the

stained seed in your purchase for Silrillg seeding? Clover seed is pro- d\1°_¢d in Europe, South America and to some extent in Asia, and Africa. _Naturally there is a. great variation in its hardihood and some of it is little suitable to Canadian conditions. The Dominion Department of Ag;-(_ culture, in order to protect the far- mer. hasenacted that all seedof red clover from the United States shall be colored orange to the extentof one per cent. Seed from England, France, Northern Europe and Chile -not fully hardy, except perhaps on the Pacino coast-is stslnea green: and the least desirable, as far as Ca- nadian conditions are concerned, that from _ Italy, Africa. and Asia, is colored Red. These distinctions, it is hoped. will in the course of a few years, lead to the selection of such hardy strains as will build up an ex- port trade. instead of. as at present. depending on foreign supplies.

GIVING PEEFERENCE ` T0 CANADIAN ~ PRODUCTS

By H. M. JAQUAYS Vice-President, Steel Co. of Canada,

Limited, Montreal.

(Industrial Canada.)

During' the past few years there

has been a. more acute realization than formerly of the advantages to be derived from using the products of our own country. Comparatively speaking, Canada is very young as a manufacturing country, and it is only to be expected that there should not exist in the minds of all a true conception of what industrial devel- opment means to the country. Know- ledge is rapidly growing in this par- ticular. and continually more and more people are realizing that in- dustry does not belong _to any person' or combination of people, but is a most valuable asset which belongs to the country A a whole. Look- ing upon the problem in this way- that industry belongs to the country -then it immediately becomes ap- parent that anything we 'can do to encourage our industries in a. healthy way will react to the benetit'of the country, i._ e., will react to the bene- fit of each' one of us living in the country. Nothing can assist more in this than purchasing and using our own products.

Due to a variety of reasons. our

markets in Canada are not our own. 'I‘hey are, in many instances. thrown wide open to foreign competition. In such cases. it is only by preferring and purchasing our own products that we can encourage their develop- ment in our country. Today, it is most gratifying to see the general acceptance oi’ this principle. We do not have to go back many years to appreciate the advantages to be derived from an active market. It is only a few years ago- that our Na- tional Railway demanded heavy sums to be derived from taxation, not _only to take care of fixed charges, but also to make up the deficit in operating expenses. Today, with the increase' in activity in business and industry in this country. this drain is prac- tically eliminated. The Increased industrial activitiy has enabled the rate of taxation to be lowered, while

creased.. _ ' _ Giving greater preference _io our

own products will better-`cur position still more. It will increase indust- rial activity; retain our money in .the country; produce a condition

-One Head -

‘ ' Of Wheat

“One head of Marquis wheat in 1908 had grown to ,three hundred million bushels in 1014," Dr. Charles E. Saunders, most outstanding wheat breeder in the world and originator of Marquis wheat, told members of the Canadian Progress.Ciub yester- day._ While that great fact, an un- dying monument to a great accom- plishment, was a part of Dr. Saun- ders's address. so modestly was it spoken that few were able to `catch the full significance ,of it. Even newspaper reporters, with their ears trained to catch detail in a spoken address, were forced to get the state- ment from Dr. Saunders. after his address was completed. The original 'strain of Marquis

wheat was produced from what he termed “a collection of 'junk left over

from a lot of work no one ha_d time to work with," in the experimental plots or the Dominion Experimetsi Farm at Ottawa. ~ -

D_r. Saunders, by his own admis-

sion. had formed the habit of chew- ing wheat kernels until ' they became a little mass of elastic dough or' gum. By preference, when he was working with wheat he would chew one variety of .wheat _in one side of the mouth and another in the other, so he (could make comparative tests for elasticity and flavor. One day he chewed what seemed to be an exceptionally attractive pellet of the wheat gum. Eighty per cent of the wheat-grow- ing area of the west is new covered with wheat reproduced from the variety that he chewed.

Dr. ‘Saunders was of` the' opinion

that Reward. the wheat from the Peace River District that won the pi-ue st the iwysl winter ‘nu last year. had all the good qualities of Marquis, with the advantage of ear- lier ripening.

Iibrecastinga coming era of mixed

farming in the West, Dr. Saunders declared that continued exportation of wheat was not good economy as it meant the exportation of the rich- ness ofthe soil. “We can‘t look for- ward tp an ever-increasing yield of the wheat crop," he warned, in conclusion.

` e Ice Age

On The Wane

(New York.) '

After a long season of incredulity.

orthodox metedrologists begin to wel- come the idea that something really is happening to the earth's climate Dr. C. E. P. Brooks piles the latest stone on the growing heap of evi- dence in a. recent note, concludins that the climate of, Great Britain grows demonstrabiymore equable as the decades pass. Whether or not there is an accompanying drift te- wards greater average warmth -or dryness, the figures which Dr. Brooks assembles leave little doubt that dir- ference between winter and summer has been evened out. _slightly but unmistakabiy, in the past century and a half. Much previous evidence agrees. Underlying the back`and forth swings of weather from month to month and year to year, there seems a slow, inexorable trend of climate towards a _dull and deadly uniformity.

This is -precisely what one would expect if the earth is slowly emerg- ing, as many geologists have suggest- ed, from one of the maxima of the Glacial Period. Ice ages do not seem to have been characterized by continuous cold. It may even be that the earth’s warmest weather comes during the brief but hot sum- mers of such a glacial maximum. What does characterize an ice age is a climate stormy and variable; hot, dry summers alternating ~with cold and snowy winters. From just such a. state. many facts suggest, the earth is moving into the calmer and more uniform weather of an inter- glacial age. .

What this might do to mankind

is ii. debatable question. 'I’here'can be r..ial1 doubt/ that the stress oi the last image had much to do with sharpening man's brain. Dr. Ells- worth Huntington has popularized the idea' that variable weather is a stimulant if not an"eascntial to high human activity. Dull and equable mediocrity may be the fate destined to creep century by century over the world and man.

CANADIAN GROWN TOBACCO 'I0 BE EX!-IIBITED AT BIG LONDON FAIR

OTTAWA. Feb. 5-Canadian grown

tobacco will be exhibited at the Bri- tish Industries Fair whi:h`ls to be held in London, England, from the middle of'“1*‘é'bruai‘y until the erId"oi' March. This decision has been reached by the Federal Department of Agriculture. The tobacco divi- sion of the experimental farms branch is co-operating with the On- tario Provincial Department of Agri- culture, and commercial tobacco firms interested in export, in the pre- paration of a tobacco exhibit that will cover all types grown in Canada, especially featuritti those of Western Ontario, including the flue cured, burley, and dark tobaccos. Samples will also be shown of British Colum- bia and Quebec tobaccos. An offic- er of the Federal Department of Ag-

ri;?iture from tho pbacco division w l accompany the exhibit.

The latest estimate of the 1928

tobacco crop is 41,966,375 pounds, of which Ontario produced 33,265,850 pounds, from 32,654 acres; Quebec 8.- 536.325 pounds from 10,368 acres, and British Columbia 164,200 pounds from 116 acres. Owing to the large pro- portion of the burley type that was grown last year, amounting to i6 acres of burley- to li acres of flue cured. some marketing difficulties are experienced through over-pro- duction of burley. The problem of the grower of this type seems to be to allow demand and opportunity to overtake production.

Exports have grown from 200,000

pounds in 1921 to 0,000,000 pounds in 1927, and it is anticipated that ex- hibiting at t.he British Industries Fair will result in a further .development of export to Great Brittin.

migration problemin Canada is tru- ly a multi-lateral one and present ex- pectations are it will be discussed from every side and'eve'ry angle at the coming sessionof Parliament. There are many shadesfof opinion as toiust how aggressive the govem- nient’s policy should be and how much encouragement should be exten- ded to would-be settlers to come to Canada.

~ _There are millions of acres of fer- tile, virgin lands in this country only needing the work of farmers to change them into golden wheat fields. The pre-Cambrian shield which ex- tends through Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and far into the northwest, estimated to contain an area of two million square miles, has only been explored and prnspected in spots but

with 'astounding results in the _dis- covery of rich mineral deposits. There are hundreds of waterfalls yet .un- harnessed. There are some of the de- veloped resources which thrill the imagination and cause much of the urge for a greater population.

There is the picture of Canad.a.'s

vacant spaces awaiting willing hands and across the seas thousands in the British Isles are seeking work and finding none. An aggressive imigra- tion pclicy therefore makes a WW widespread appeal to the business ln- terests- - -mercantile, manufacturing, -financial, transportation- - -because greater population, they claim, means greater oppoftunlties for expansion and prosperity. But on the other hand prairie farmers are inclined to ques- tion the advisability of spending pub- lic money in_ bringing out settlers. A member of Parliament from a prairie constituency seemed tocrytalize the position of these citizens when he said: "Why should our farmers want to have great numbers of settlers brought out to double the wheat pro- duction? They used to tell us that they need more population to make the railways pay, Well, mg nil. ways are paying now. 'I‘hey also told us that we ought. to bring in more people to help pay the taxes. If you

tion you will not find that greater population tend-ed to make the taxes lower." -

Also, the labor organizations are

watchful with regard to immigration in the fear that newcomers might crowd their members out of their pro- sent jobs before the expansion from increased.-population. could supply other positions for them to take. Un- employment in the winter months likewise makes city and town councils critical when newcomers have to be assisted from the municipal treasur- ies.

With these and other shades of

public opinion in mind the Dominion govemment has built up a policy for seeking settlers that is varied and intricate, particularly insoflfr as it applies to the settlers from the Bri- tish Isles. It is the result of several years' developmert. One new feature for this session of Parliament is the reduction to $50 of the steamship rate to a Canadian port for all British set- tiers. The difference from the regular rate is made up by the British govern- ment and the transportation com- panies. The Csnadian government pays no part of this although it cou- tinues to bear its share of the three- way split with the British Govern- ment and the transportation com.- panics in regard to argricultural fam- ilies which come over imder the as- sited passage scheme and enjoy a $10

rate. _ f Another new feature of the immi- gration policy waa the instructions issued a short time ago by the depart- ment tn the transportation compan- ics that they'wsrs to reduce tus total number of farm laborers from Cen- tral and Southern Europe to 80 pei' cent of the number they brought out lesi; year, and that the movement had to be completed before May '3i. The department found only about 80 per cent of the immigrants coming here as farm laborers from these

countries in other years intending ‘ra

Manitoba

Dairy lndustryt

. i

. (Manitoba Free Press.) "

There has been no exaggeration

thc importance of the gathering Winnipeg this week of the varioi.|`I_i associations connected with the dairy industry in Manitoba. There is no more satisfactory indication of the progress of agriculture in this prov-" ince than the increase in dairy prog duction and the very high standard- that has been attained. _

Not only have more farmers been

going into the dairy production. but there has been steady improvement of the quality of the dairy cattle and' such improvement of the quality of the products. particularly of butter, that Manitoba of late years has been covered with laurels. ;

There has been improvement all

along the line, and the achlevemntl of our dairy industry have attracted much attention from out.=ide and brought distinct credit to the .prov- inoe, l .. .

l‘. is the natural course of develop;

ment to get away from the uncprigulla dependence on one branch of agrlr culture and to develop other branch;

as. laying a surer foundation for the welfare of the farmer year in and

year out. The value of dairy pro; ducts last year was a little over $14,; 000,000, or approximately the same as the previous year. There 'ire some variations due to price changes and conditions affecting the output. but there is nothing like the variation

in returns from the grain crop. Th, growth of dai;-ying is a matter of sure and permanent progress in ng;-i; culture and anything that can be done to encourage production, to inr- prove the quality or to assist in sue.- cessful marketing, will be decidedly in thc interest of the whole province.

::Mil1er‘s Worm Powders not only

make the infantile system untenable to worms, but by their action on the stomach, liver and bowels they correct' such troubles as lack of appetite, bil- icusness and other internal disorders that the worms create. Children thrive upon them and no matter what con- dition their worm-infested stonaaclfs may be in, they will show improve- ment as soon as the treatment begins.
