Nine days to be exact before fans will have another opportunity of wit- nessing a “Big Three Loop" tilt.

PIGS NEED FIBRE

Winter fed market pigs and breeding stock relish a little fibrous matter to chew, and they need it regularly, according to feeding ex- perts of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. They will eat straw if nothing‘ better is available. It is easy, however, to give them some- thiny better, such as second cut clover or alfalfa and other well- cured grass or cereal crops that have been cut green. 'I'he feeding of a few rnangels from day to day, as is kell known, has very desirable efiects. The important thing is to see that all pigs, except the very young, get some form of vegetable matter regularly. The results ob- tained from this practice will amply repay the cost involved in the small quantity of fibrous feeds used.

Imports of wheat into Egypt in ‘"31 totalled 38,151 metric ions ‘ 1 lbs.) valued at £215,340 (Eg- lfiililll) or approximately $1,012, 100 compared with 17,063 metric

increase of about 100 per cent, lritcs Yves Lalnoutagne, Canadian Trade Commissioner at Cairo in Ille forthcoming issue of the Com‘- mercial Intelligence Journal. The increase is due chiefly to the short local crop in 1930. As in the pre- uous year, Australia was in i931 llle chief supplier of foreign wheat, lontrlbuting 31.718 metric tons as lzalnst 9,401 tons in 1930. Imports luring the first eight months of 193'.‘ totalled 37,192 ions (of which Australia contributed 29.809), com- pared with a total of 30, 364 tons l0l' the same period last yea.r (of which Australia supplied 30,181 m’. Up to a few years ago the wing of wheat, one of Egypt's 0st important crops, was neglec- bd in favour of cotton, the price "l which was then very high and made its cultivation much more ltmunerative than that of cer- 11115.

When, how- ever, the Australian pound fell un- der sterling by 28 pel- cent and ev- en rnore, and this brought prices of Australian flour considerably un- der those quoted for the North Am- erican product, the situation was reversed.

MONCTON, N. 8., Dec. 26-31110 Maritime Senior Hockey League re- fitted a suggmtlon from Charlotte- town that the league import a referee-in-chief t; handle the league games for the second sec- tion of the playing schedule, at a meeting of the league executive here today. ‘

Power was invested in James A. ‘l-Ianway, K. C., Amherst, League President, to name both theref- eree-in-chiefand the assistant ref- eree for ell future games-but the clubs left a loop-hole for protests by giving themselves the opportun- ity to protest the selection of the assistant referee. In case one of these officials is not satisfactory to any club, that club can protest him but must agree to another named from the same list of referees in the hands of the League President.

The Referee Question

The referee question produced fireworks and Col. D. A. MacKin- non, representing the Charlotte- town Abegwelts, at one time threat- ened that the Abbies would not go on the ice if Jack Brown, Moncton, was n11 official. This brought crit- icism from B. A. Taylor, Moncton.

who scored the Island club for what he claimed was a deliberate attempt to dictate to the mainland teams. Moncton representatives contended Brown should not be ,

The finan- cial position has improved and Gov- ernment bonds have been at a premium. The full text of the Ot- tawa agreements, which was made available on October 14. was re- ceived with mixed feelings. It was generally recognized that mutual sacrifices were inevitable, but there is strong feeling prevalent that Queensland has been called upon in bear an unfair load. and that her banana and ,‘ eapple indus- tries have been treated ungener- ously.

Reference was made last month to the launching of a Crippled Children's Aid Society. Themove- ment hasreceivezi the unqualified support of the public, and already over £2500 has been donated for the furtherance of its aims. In addtion Mr. George Marchant, a wellknovm public benefactor, has presented his beautiful home at Tariuga for the housing and education of ‘the unfortunate children. One of the most picturesque of the many beau- tiful homes in Brisbane the pala~ iial homestead, situated in five acres of ground. is ideal for the purpose. The Government has a- greed tc waive gift duties, and the Cty Council forego it-Jrates. Mr. Marchang has sponsored innumer- able philanthropic schemes, and has distributed tens of thousands of pounds in eharty.

Barrier Reef Wonders

The wonders of the Barrier Reef are s never ending fount of delight to tourists, and a source of inter- est to scientists. It is rather late in the year for visits to North Queensland, but the accommoda‘ tion of steamships has been fully availed of. and a movement has been started by ghe Brisbane Cham- ber of Commerce to have the- tour- ist season tc the North extended for another month. The co-opera- tion of swan-lamp companies is be- ing sought. Arrangements have just been completed for extensive re- search work among the wonders of the Banter Reef by an American expedition, which is about to 1881/9 Thursday Island 1n a privately" chartered lugger.

A new type of vessel was introduced in the iii-footer class. which has proved almost phenomenal. It promises to revo» luiionisc the type of craft in fut- ure races. The new vessel. named "Aberdare." is of the skiff type, nar- row in the beam.
