(special to the Guardian) mTAWA. Sept. 12. — Canada's vuiem wheat crop will pass the m: billion mark this year. accord- hg to the es ‘ ‘ of the dominion blpuu oi statistics. The ‘bureau the yield at 521382.000 bu- i M; and the total Canadian wheat l uctionat 550382.000 bushels. l qt only is it the greatest wheat l mp ever produced in Cilllldl. bill l moral authorities place the grade l minly at one and two northern. ‘mus in quantity and quality the M8 western wheat crop has made l r cnornenal record. ‘ it: only is the wheat crop of the mt a record. but also that of bar- , by, oats and rye production are greater than theaverage and only ‘ bi flax seed production has there l been a decrease. The wheat crop ls 115,000,000 bushels greater than that of last year and 50.00011!) pater than the previous record uop. Barley Production is 44,000,- 030 bushels greater thanthc record , Imp of 1926. Oats 10.000900 bush- l’ ell greater than last year and rye l riiows an increase of 2,000,000 bush- ds

Saskatchewan leads inproduction with 300,647,000 bushels. but Alberta llu the greater yield per acre and it ii believed that Manitoba has

the finest quality. so that each of the three Prairie Provinces particl- pated in the honors of the wonder- ful wheat crop. While the crop is phenomenal in yield. there has been a decrease of nearly 30 cents per bushel compared with the great price of last year, This will reduce the farmers profits but the quality will partially offset the price de- crease.

With a crop of 550,000,000 bushels Canada will, allowing 40,000,000 for 866d. 70.000000 for home consump- tion and 40,000,000 for feed and un- marketable grain, have an export surlllus of 400,000,000 bushels or equal to one half the wheat re- qulroments of the wheat importing countri. This exportable surplus will be double that of any other country.

The total exports of wheat and of wheat flour. expressed ln bushels of wheat by conversion at the rate of 198 pounds of fiour to 4 1-2 bushels of wheat were 657,752,000 bushels from the wheat exporting countries for the nlne months from August 1, 1927. tn April 30, 1928, or for the year‘. about 850,000,000 bushels. With 30.000000 bushels of last year's crop in store and 400,000,000 available for export from the present crop, Can- ada can take care of one half the world's wheat requirements.

Teachers Express Opinions on\ the NewSchool Books

Much dissatisfaction has arisen lately throughout the province at the extra expense thrown on the parents of children of school age- owing to the introduction of a new series of readers and a new Canad- lan History text book-these costing in some cases fifteen cents each more than the old.

Also there has been a delay/ in ob- taining supplies of these, in partic- ular the Weavers Canadian History and the new third reader. with mpch resulting inconvenience and confusion.

With regard to the situation thus brought about, various opinions are expressed by those most intimately concerned with the matter.

Mr. l... W. Shaw. supervisor of City Schools statics that, with their adoption this fall for use in the Ma- ritime Provinces the New Canadian Readers are now in use in all the provinces of Canada, with the ex- ceptlon of Quebec and Ontario. As regards their use in this province. they give promise, he stated, of be- ing very satisfactory.

The policy now being pursued ls that the old Ontario readers now ln the hands of the pupils will be used as supplementary readers

As to the books themselves. Mr. Shaw believes that, lrl the new ser- ies, there is a rather better balance between modern and classical liter- ature than in the Ontario readers, which tended rather to emphasize [modern literature.

He considered that the new books were better bound and llad better ‘paper and printing. _

- Mr. R. l-l. Rogers stated that no new readers were in use in his class so that he hardly cared to say much ‘about them. In the Ontario series

between the second and third read- lers, with the result that the third book was nearly as difficult as the fourth. The new series is better graded, he claimed.

l Interviewed, Mr. Wynne, Princi- pal of Queen Square also Vice-Prin- cipal McDonald and Miss McAulay. teacher in Grade 2 said that in the senior grades work is held up in the classes due to a shortage of the Canadian History, Fourth Reader and Geometry.

Both Messrs. Wynne and McDon- ald say this shortage is a source of much inconvenience. .

Miss McAulay, Grade 2, says she

has only a couple of Third Readers in her class, which necessi tes her writing the lessons on the black board. This is very annoying and a great deal of work is entailed as a consequence. . l with regard to new and old read- lers being used, Mr. Wynne states -that the old will ecessariiy have to be used until there are enough of the new readers to go around.

At West Kent School, Mr. John- son the principal, stated that none of the new third readers are avail- ‘able as yet, and the same ls true oi lthe new Weavers Canadian History ,texts. The "Selections of Prose and Poetry" for Grade IX are also held up; but in the case of this latter it is possible to carry on by studying in class at the present time the three or four selections common w these and the old readers.

Ail to the new readers, he thinks the change to them is in the best interests of all concerned. Both pupils and teachers are tired of the old books. The new histories in par- ticular are very much better than the old. He considers the extra ex- perlse involved to be a good invinc- ment on the part of all concerned.

Mus PIOIID teacher of Grade IV. and Misc oroiinm. teacher of Grade III. were also interviewed.

In Miss Prone’: class, out of 41 pupils, l0 have the new readers. and out of Miss Graham's class of 30,

B- only six have the new readch.

Thme clafla are carrying on at present with the three or four se- lections common to both readers, but, as many pils destroyed their old reader! d the summer va- cation considerable ' confusion has arisen. '

Ar to the books themselves, teachers like thorn Just‘ as the old ones. . J

Rev. Dr. W. R. McIntosh, oi Lon- don, Ont., who moved the reception. of the report, declared it was "a; multilateral pact to outlaw worldllq ness and all evil." What was sought

' was a deepening of faith and a-

world-wlde revival of religion. Such a revivafi however. could not be promoted in any official or artificial; way.

A deeper interest in the salvation. of the world is most earnestly de- sired on the part of the most cult-i ured Canadians, declared Dr. Mc- Intosih, but no one is asked to com- mit intelleotual suicide.

Earlier in the day. the report of the Finance Committee was pre- sented and accepted. The committee presented a very satisfactory report. dealing i_ri detail with the progress made in the church's finances dur-. ing the pest year. The pensions fund also was dlscused but further consideration was postponed. It. is proposed that $350,000 be provided annually from the maintenance and extension fund, and that the sum of $3,000,000 be asked from members of the church throughout Canada. Principal John MacKay, of Manl- toba College.
