Through the-encouragement of the Depart- ment in defraying 75c freight costs on the im- portation of carloads of ground limestone, 8,- 000 tons were imported, which should be prp- ductive of good results particularly in the growth of clover and legume-crops.

Reference is made to the establishment of h Berry Growers Association in the interest of cranberry and blueberry production. It was a little too late to prove the success anticipated, but with the experience and the assistance of closer oo-operation and contact there is a possi- bility of a considerable improvement in the com- ing year. -

British share 0f the Union's exports was 50.2 per cent. The Union had a favourable visible trade balance at the end of i938 of nearly iii,- 000,000, as Compared with £28,00o.000 at the end of the previous year. South Africa's foreign nude revealed several unsatisfactory features. While purchases from the United States were valued at ii6,_=,35,928, exports t0 the States werewaiuea at only £745,681, leaving an ad- verse balance of nearly £l6,o00,000 against the Union. Imports from Germany during the year under review amounted to £5,025,967 and ex- ports to £4,995,2i5, leaving a small adverse bal- ance 0f £30,000 at the end of the year_ Trade with France remained very satisfactory from the Union's point of view, imports from France being valued at £934,191 and exports to France at £a,i29,482. Trade Willi Italy resulted in a. small adverse balance to the Union, imports be- ing valued at £r,i34,io4 and exports at £1,021.- 523. With Japan, South Africa also had a large adverse trade balance. Japanese buying in the Union amounted to only £406,529, but imports from Japan were valued at £2,776,299, largely accounted for by Japanese wool buyers operat- ing only on a small scale.

Dur Department Of Agriculture’

Although there has been nothing outstand- ing to report the year has been one 0f compara- tive ‘progress. The Deputy Minister, Mr. W. R. Shaw, reports that experiments with Corona- tion Wheat have proved it to be an outstand- ing success 0n account 0f its rust resisting qual- ities, and should solve the seed problem so far as our farmers are concerned.

The comparative statements 0f the crop yield in 1934 and I938 respectively were:

Wheat, bus. Oats

Barley Buckwheat Mixed Grains

Turnips, bus. Hay, tons 275.640 Corn, torts 2.700

With the exception of wheat these crops com- pare not too unfavorably, and the increase in barley and mixed grains is outstanding. The re- port recommends that farmers should place more emphasis on the production of barlcy_

Markets for potatoes were improved over the previous year, and surplus stock disposed 0f on a more profitable basis. The Livestock indus- try has been favorable and pleasing comment is made on the fact that there has been a keen demand for improved stallions during the year. The development of Saddle Horse breeding is also steadily growing.

The price of butter was, unfortunately, low and the dairymcn became discouraged with this branch of production. The report states that considerable improvement could be made in marketing conditions if the proper spirit of co- operative cream grading, butter grading and marketing is established between the dairy in- terests of each of the three Maritime Provinces.

The price level of cheese was satisfactory, and the export to the Old Country helped t0 main- tain local prices. The Swine industry gave a particularly good account of itself, and while the Island has a favorable reputation in respect h Select Bacon, the report recommends that an endeavour should be made to increase the per- centage of Select Hogs placed on the market. One of the definite pbjectives i0 Swine policy is the extension of the Swine industry into dis- tricts where hogs do not form a part of the Livestock Holding. These included Tignish, Panmure Island and Mont Carmel. By establish- ing Hog production with zi few key men in each district it is hoped much will be accom-

, plished in the respective districts.

In Eastern Canada, the report states, Ontario

_ and Prince Edward Island were the only two

which showed decreases in sheep production; but a good lamb crop is expected this year. As Q result of a serious drop in wool prices, large

Taken by surprise at the readiness 0f the Conservatives Jo meet them at the polls when- ever they choose t0 call the election, the Ifiberal politicians now see clearly the hand-writing on the wall.

Nazi dreams 0f future German greatness have suddenly expanded to include three new fac- tors: I. The Germany of the future is to com- prise I00,0o0,o0o Aryans; 2. The German of the future is t0 be so healthy and strong that he will feel the urge to work until his eightieth year; 3. The German nation of the future will be one of "teetotalers" and non-smokers. It was Field Marshal General Hermann Goering, Germany's doughty number two man, who pre- dicted that the German population would grow to 100,000,000. Dr. Robert Icy, the Reich's la- bor leader and head 0f an organization of 26,- 000,000 workers and bosses, employers and em- ployes of the hand and brain, addressing a na- tional convention 0n “public health and poisons in food and drink,” said according to Nazi press reports: “It is important to keep the human be- ing in fit condition for working and producing. The thought of pensions and ‘rentes' for the aged must be banished from our people. Our highest goal must be that of being able to work even ateighty.” ,1 _

It was a particularly good season for butter production in Queensland. The value for ex- ports for the six inonths ended December 30 was up I29 "per cent, and the quantity was lip I39 per cent, compared with the last half of I937. As New Zealand exports also are expanding in common with the big butter-exporting Aus- tralian States, and imports of Danish butter into the United Kingdom are established vit- tually bya quota basis, the possibility of a fall in London prices is feared. The chairman of the Queensland Butter Board (Mr. Purcell.) has said that the new British Minister for Agri- culture (Sir Reginald Dorman-Smitli) may re- strict butter importations from the Dominions in the same way in which he restricted mutton and lamb importations, but this view is not shat’- ed by the chaimian of the Australian Dairy Produce Board (Mr. T. F. Plunkett, M.L.A.,)

Interest and dividend payments by Canadian companies controlled abroad totalled $155,000:- ooo in i937, an amount greater than the total interest payments on the Dominion public debt during the same period. Of this amount, $9§r 000,000 was paid to parent companies and iii- dividuals in the United States, $21,000,000 weivtt to Great Britain, and minority shareholder! and bondholders in Canada received 5384mm- ooo. Payments abroad by these companies rh- present almost one-fifth of all payments out 9f Canada on current account for purposes othgr than purchase of commodities in the Canadlain balance of international payments statement f‘ r i937.

There is no patriotic compuhion upon any non-Canadian to assist in the de- velopment of Canada. It, is up to

Canada to show outside capital a

reasonable opportunity for profit and security for that profit it realized. Not many years ago there were sound reason for outside cap- ital to become dcmicilsd here, It cannot be aftogether blamed for graying at home today. --'I‘he _inted Word.
