The Harvest of the Maples The sap will soon be stirring in the maple groves of Canada. The Do- minion and the United States are the only countries in the world pro- ducing maple sugar and maple syn-up, an industry founded by the Indians long before the whitc settlers arriv- ed in America. Maple sugar predile- ticn in Canada for 1930 according to the National Revenue Review, total- led 8208-276 pounds, valued at $1,381,- 513. This was a decrease compared with the previous year of 3,400,649 pounds, and of $761,326 value. Syrup production, however, showed an in- crease, the total for 1930 being 2,185.- 379 gallons, valued at $3,869,107, compared with 2.174.084 gallons val- ued at $3.955.8l7 for the previous year. Exports of maple sugar for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1930, amounted to 12,501,047 pounds, val- ued at $2,395,863, an nlcrease of over eighty per cent compared with the previous fiscal year. Maple syrup cx- Ilorts for the last fiscal year totalled 9,727 gallons, valued at $19,224, a de- crease compared with the previous ycai- of l6 940 gallons, and of $26,542 value. Export figures for the nine months period. April to December 1930, however shOW ll heavy increase in shipments of maple syrup, ex- ports totalling 116,009 gallons, val- ued at. $155,074. Maple sugar exports for the nine months period were 5,097,358 pounds, valued at $1,177,189. The United States takes the great- 'er part of Canada's exports of maple products. v Editorial Notes At the British‘ Legation at Lima lihc Prince of Wales received "mo Ifducruian» The Prime Minister lmcmbers of the nriflsh colony and shook hands with every one of them.

The exper- ience of Yonkers has been the ex- perience of a number of towns and cities in the United States and Can- ada where immunization has been tested. The results testify for them- selves; they cannot be argued away or explained away. Diphtheria is on the decline wherever immunization 1s being tried; it holds its own or makes gains wherever there is no concerted effort to procure immunity. In the circumstances, for a city or com- munity to neglect immunization, to leave the scourge of diphtheria to hit-lmd-mlss methods or to the tend- er mercies of theorists, is to incur re- sponsibility for all but criminal neg- ligence. Many years ago an eminent states- man from Ontario described that province as "the milch cow of the Dominion," while another referred to the Maritime Provinces as “the shreds and patches of the Domin- ion." It will not be well, however. if the central provinces tum a deaf ear to complaints that may be made either by the Maritime Provinces or the Prairie Provinces.

The Provinces of Alberta and Sas- katchewan contend that they have the right to compensation by the Dominion Government for lands al- ienated prior to their formation as provinces in 1005. Their case was presented before the Supreme Court of Canada and its decision was against them. Saskatchewan appeal- ed the case to the Privy Council and will be supported by Alberta. An in- teresting fact in connection with the case is that; the two provinces will be represented in the appeal to the Privy Council by Sir John Simon, the eminent legal authority who has been so lnuch in the public eye during the last two years. The great literary event of the past month has been the speech made before the French Academy by Paul Valery on the occasion of the reception of Marshal Petain. This speech was not only important for its perfection of form and because it recalled the greatest orator: of the seventeenth century; it was import- ant, also because Paul Valery had the courage to speak, at its close. n few sad and necessary woivls about the war.

Any little thing about his body that is not exactly as usual, gets him thinking about himself and every part of his body-digestion, in- testinal movement, fast beating of his heart, and so forth. What causes neurasthcnia? Heredity may be a predisposing cause; one or other of the parents may have been of the “nervous" type, but usually the ‘individual is himself responsible owing to his strenuous efforts or excesses along various lines-business domestic, soc- laL-which bring upon him responsi- bilities which he seems unable to carry. Sometimes it is just too much straight mental work that causes the trouble._ Physical work is never likely to cause it. The old treatment used to be rest; absolute rest physical and mental, but. latterly the cleansing and strengthening of the body has been giving gratifying results. The pat- ient. is examined for any possibility of infection from teeth, tonsils, or constipation and when this is cur- rected, he is put on regular exercise. As he gets rid of the poisons from his. system and builds up his body physically-good appetite, good diges- tion, strong regular heart beat, reg- ular intestinal movements-he grad- ually gets well, and if he continues the treatment he stays well. v i The wisdom of the world is this; to there have been innumerable pitches ' perfection . . . . . . . .. in the sleigh tracks, the horse track has been practically level and I do] not hesitate to say that if a side!’ hitch were adopted in this Province, g the majority of the pitches, wi\lch| are now so abundant, would be elim- . lnated.

There is no desire in ‘ivrlling this letter on my part to lnlpcse my opin- ions or my wishes on other persons against their will. While it is neces- sary to take occasional sleigh rides, and would like it to be done with a certain amount of comfort, and also I would like to take the pleasure of an enjoyable sleigh ride the same as conditions, and while I have no sym- pathy for the farmers and other drivers as they have the remedy in their own hands, yet 1 think there should be some consideration for dumb animals.

But the question in my mind ls, who are the parties that are opposed to the side hitch and for what reason has the side hitch been opposed? It cannot be because it would be much easier for a horse to pull twice the load under the condi- tions at the present time. It cannot be that it was a matter of comfort because there is all the difference in the world in riding along an even track than on the bumpy roads at the present time. The expense trans- ferring from the present to u side hitch would be negligible and not costing more than from $1.50 to $3.00. That would be saved in one season in the wear and liflnl‘ of the harness and sleigh, to say nothing of the horses. ' . One or two persons, whilst in" fav- our of the aide hitch, have thought that there might be a drag, but n little thought will show that such is not the case. If the shafts were ac- tached to the sleigh at a slngla pou-t at the side, there might be n alight drag in such a case, but wit“: the shafts attached at. two points on a fixed bar, there would be no side drag whatever. Neither would the efficiency of the pull'n; horse be re- duced one iota. Osnalnly, the op- position could not come cut of con- sideration for the horse. If you con- time can give" . . .
