WINNIPEG AIR I

RilllTE

(Slwclal to the Guardian)

OTTAWA, Ont., July 14, _ sup- veys are being carried out at the present time looking to the estab- lishment, next spring, of a daily all" mail service from Montreal to Winnipeg. A vote of money was puti through the House of Commons a few days prior to adjournment to defray the cost of such u survey and the Post Office Department has lost no time in getting to work. Ah-earlyi a great deal of the initial work has‘ been done and a large amount of information has been collected. Next week a Royal Air Force pilot will leave Ottawa in an aeroplane to fly the actual route. He will proceed from‘ Ottawa to North Bay, thence in Cochrane and then west to Winnipeg. 1-Ie will look over the territory for the purpose 0f determ- ining whether hydroplanes would be. more suitable than land planes. and he will also examine the ground for landing fields. These will have to be located every 300 miles apart to provide for forced landings. At the present time the post office is pay- ing $1.25 per mile for the air mails in Eastern Canada, but it is believ-

|ed that the Montreal-Winnipeg ser-

vice would bg daily and that a low lrate would be paid. Ilstilnated at '75 cents per mile, the cost per trip would be $625 and it is thought ‘that sufficient mail could be ob- ,iaincd to break even at this rate. The department. of course. will not ‘put m1 the service but will call for ‘tenders. It is necessary. however. to ‘have complete information in re- ygard to the route in order to judge of the prospects of success. -—r~————ii~)—"x

The picnic was held in the large grove adjacent to the farm buildings where the pie- nickcrs were waited on by the farm attendants.

During the earlier part of the morning, many of the visitors avail- ed themselves of the opportunity to inspect the tuber crop of the farm. Demonstrations were carried on by the Inspecting staff of the Associa- tion.

It was jocularly remarked by many that the Association must be in a very thriving condition, judg- ing by the large number of cars, many of them new ones, parked on the premises.

The directors of the latter bank arc offering each share- holder of the Standard Bank of Canada stock in the Canadian Bank of Commerce, share for share, and the consent of the Minister of Finances has been obtained to n merger on that basis. Shareholdels of both banks have to endorse tho proposal before the merger is fin- ally effective, and these meetings will be called at an early date. Exccutwe officers of the two banks foresee no obstacles in the way of a final consummation of the merger by October 31. Shareholders of the Canadian Bank of Commerce are expected to approve the decis- ion of the Chief Executives, as sum approval has always been given in the past whenever bank directors have made similar airsngemento.

Elevated Roadway T0_ C0st_ Fifty Millions Planned

(Special to the Guardian) ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 15. —A $50,000,000 double decked steel and concrete elevated roadway stretching between Atlantic City and Philadelphia will be under con- struction in 30 days, according to word received here. The roadway it is reported will be built by the Pennsylvania Railroad and other interests. The first deck of the roadway will be used by the rail- road for a new high speed combin- ed gas and electric car.

The speaker treated briefly of les- sons to be learned from agricultur- al countries, 1n the old world par- ticularly in Europe. He mentioned especially the Danes as being not only excellent dslrymen but also first class all round farmers,

In Denmark, co-operation is very highly developed in all the pro- ducts of that country and few lessons might perhaps be learned from them. ' So, Dr. Archibald thought, they might well extend co-operation to the live-stock and other industries of the farm. He emphasized the importance of live stock as an ob- ject of agricultural endeavour, and said he would not like to see this important phase of agriculture suf- fer as a result of the development of any of the cash crops.

He went on to explain that the object of this system of experilnent- al farms and illustrative stations was to help the agrlculturist and he pleaded for their interest, their constructive criticism, and their support financial and other wise, in order that this work might be made even more efficient and more widespread than 1t is today.

In closing he thanked the mem- bers for the splendid support which they had given the farms in rec- ent years, and expressed the hope that the expe mental farms would be able to help the farmers even more in the future than they had clone in the past.

Mr. Trainer thanked Dr. Arcl1i- bald for his address, but at the same time protested, in the name of the assembled farmers against the charge for inspection services which it was proposed to impose at the rate of so much per acre, to be- gin in 1929.

Dr. Archibald in reply stated that he appreciated the force of Mr. Trainer's remarks. He thought the massed expression of opinion might result in the minister of agriculture getting an increase in his appropri- atlom-whlch was so far quite small in comparison with that of other departments of the public service, it being only 2 per cent. of the tot- al budget of Canada. At the same time, he pointed out that, all other forms of commercial in- spection were charged for, as for instance live stock, dairy products and wheat.

Mr. J. C. Moran then read the auditors report. It stated that the Financial statement was correct, and represented the true condition
