Professor Dash is particularly interested in the organization governing the market- ing of wheat in Canada. and his vis- it to Winnipeg is to learn something of it as well as to discuss reciprocal trade. With regard to the Maritime Provinces, Prof. Dash considers that

when visiting those provinces.

The proximity of the marltimes to British Guiana. is a decided factor. according to Prof. Dash. in the de- velopment of trade between Eastern Canada and that colony and he is of the opinion that. the prospects are bright indeed for the growth of a large trade. Discussing the situation with regard to British Guiana Pro- fessor Dash said “British Guiana is on the eve of a great agricultural de- velopment. Iri_ the past her main in- dustry has been the growing of sug- ar. but at present vigorous efforts are being made to increase produc- tion in other directions. Indeed last year was a remarkable one in this respect all main staples showing a considerable increase over recent years.“

"Of outstanding importance at the present time Ls the exceptional de- velopment taking place in the rice industry, we feel in British Guiana that the colony is especially well suitedto rice cultivation. Hitherto, our main market has been. the neighboring Caribbean colonies. but with the rapid expansion taking place it is very necessary to look further afield for a. market. The ex- pansion is bound w} increase in the next few years as the result of a, vig-

The question of how many cronl to take from a. strawberry bed al- , ways arises about this time of yell’- ‘Mostof thestrawiberry beds in horns gardens and also many of the wit)- ‘ruercial plantings are held toe lo" for best results. _A large number the best commercial men rep t their strawberry beds every year d harvest’ only one crop. Even those who grow ever-bearing strawberries frequently take a crop off the first fell‘ and replace the entire bed with new plants for the following year.’ _
