The Confederation Spirit

Under the heading “Again at Charlottetown” the W iiiiiipcg Free Press deals editorially with our Confederation celebration. Our Winnipeg , contemporary regards it as “exceedingly ap- ' propriate" that Prince Edward Island should in- vite the Dominion and the Provinces‘ to send re- presentatives to participate in the commemora-

and _a- five-y€3_tfi,lI_'¢!3ge of 155 million bushels. 1‘-dd“'|ll 3: ¢arry—over of 50 million bushels and

The 193940 world wheat crop is expected to be substantially smaller than the record outturn in 1938-39 largely as the result of the reduced acreages sown in the United States and India. This decrease in production, however, may be largely offset by the much heavier carry—ovcr in prospect on July 31, 1939, as compared with last July.
