Twenty-three o1 the establish- ments are in Ontario. 1'7 in Quebec, 10 in Manitoba. 7 in British 00l- umbia, 3 in Alberta. 5 in Saskat- chewan, 3 in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, and one in Nova Scotia. - According to ‘the annual report of the Vt-‘tcrinary Director General for the year ended» March 31, 1935, the number of cattle carcasso- con- demned during 1934-35 was 17.731. total cattle killed. the principal cause of condemnation being due, as formerly, to emacintlon, immo- turity. and tuberculosis. Th"se three conditions accounted for 76.43 per cent of the total condemnations. Sheep condemnations were 0.22 per cent as against 0.24 per cent for the previous fiscal year (1933-34). Con- demnations of swine totalled 9.911 carcasses. or 0.34 per cent of the total kill. In all closes, 29.559 car- casses were condemned. The Meat and Canned Foods Di- vision of the health of Animals Branch carries out export examin- ation of all animals both before and after slaughter and is respoxrible for the maintenance of careful supervision ‘in the manufacture, cure, and sanitary conditions in meat packing establishments. Co- operation betwcen the managements of the meat-packing lndurtry and the government inspectors has c.1- ways been of the highest order, with the result that the value or tho meat products as regards health- fulness. Wholeromen-zss, and clean- liness cannot be questioned. During, the fiscal year 1934-35, the number of carcasses marked "Canada Ap- proved" by the inspectors of the Health "of Arlmal: Branch were, 1.332639 cattle, 956,219 sheep. and 2,352,214 swine.

Canadian Fertilizer For All Conditions Intercsting information for farm- ers is contained in the Chemicals and Allied Products report relating to the fertilizer trade in Canada from July 1, 1933, to June 30, 1934. The report on the fertllizcr trade of Canada. is compiled annually by the Mining. Me.~o.1‘.u;gical and Chemical Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics in co-operetion‘ with the Fertilizer Division of the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture, in order to assist manufac- turers and importers, and incident- ally the faLmers who buy this pro- duct is gauging the market for fut- uture requremznts. It is encourag- ing. afstes the report, to note the markd improvement in the fertil- izer trade 1n Canada during the pe 10d undsr review. when compar- ed with the prcrding twelve months. Production of fertilizers in 1934 totalled 344.953 shcr: tons of which 119.795 tons, 0r 34.7 pzr cent., were mixed fertilizers, the total tonnage produced be‘ng 29.5 par cent higher than in 1933. The three plncipal materials ulpha e of ammonia. and ammonium phosphate, showing greatly incr as:d przduction.

Among the nixed fertilizers, the one hsvlng th larzrst. sale contaln- , ed two per ccn: n_lt ogen, 12 per c“nt phosphwic acid and 1x per cent potash. This mixture was sold m the provinces of Ontario and Quebec only, Ontario taking the. much larger proportion. A 4-3-10 mixture represented more than half the total sales in PAnce Edward Is- land. Th“. favoured mixtures in Nova. Scotia were: 4-3-4, 4-9-7, 2-10-4, 5-10-5, ‘and 9-5-7. 0f the total New Bran-wick sales, 34 per cent were on a 4-9-13 basis, and considerable quantities of the mixture 4-6-10. 5-3-12 and 5-9-8 were also so‘d.

So far as the birds are concerned, there is reason to believe that the scarcity of the Brass roots caused the death of a number of bront and geese in some localities during the past few winters. Incidentally, the cause of the disease, which has been. pre- valent in Atlantic areas. of the United States as well as on the 33118411311. COB-at. has not been posi- tively determined. Both Canadian 811d ‘United States scientists have worked on the problem but a final conclusion has not been reached though perhaps the weight of evi- dence points to one of the lower forms of fungi as the troublemaker.

In Eastern Nova Scotia there is little change in the situation but in some places in the western counties of the province a sught improvement has been noted.

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) NEW YORK, Dec. _19—A tower- lng pillar of smoke from the coal barge Marie de Rondo. destroyed by fire off Long Island in the At- lantic 55 miles east of New York City, today prompted a. major con- centration of rescue vessels in the fear that another marine disaster was in the making at New York's door. v Five members of the barge crew abandoned ship after a. futile three-hour battle with the flames. and were taken aboard the tug Wallfleet, which had the barge in tow from Philadelphia to Boston. The barge had a gross tonnage of 2.376 and carried a cargo of 3,000 tons of soft coal valued at $16,500. The first glimpse of fire and smoke ‘through a light fog eight miles offshore was reported by the coast guard at the Blue Point Sta. tion on the Long Island coast.

Taking the four provinces as a group, the month's landings total- led slightly more than 858,003 hundredweights. a gain of nearly 106.200 hundredwelghts. and landed value amounted to more than g1.- 085900. as against $1,033,200 in the October before. The caluclatlons are based upon unrevlsed reports made to the Dominion Department of Fisheries by its inspectors in the various fishing areas. 'I‘here was also a. relatively large increase in October production and dollar-return to the fishermen 1n the Magdalen Islands, Quebec, with the catch (principally cod and her- ring) amounting to 5,940 hundred- weights, the landed value to about $6,650. At the time of writing, how- eve", it is uncertain whether the month's sea fisheries for Quebec as a whole will be up or down as com.- pared with those for October. '34. Fisheries of the mainland portion of Quebec are administered by the provincial authorities. whose of- ficers collect the statistics and make them available to Ottawa. and it happens that some of the officers have been delayed this year ln fnaklng up their October returns. Under these circumstances, it is not possible at the moment to make up a complete statement of the month's results in the Domlnloxfs "ea fsheries operations as a whole. However it is clear enough that when complete figures are available they will show c total Dominion catch substantially larger than the catch of twelve months ago. The only question 1s whether the out- standing reports for mainland Quebec w‘ll add to the increases recorded from the Marltimes, the \mgdcle\~.. and British Columbia or cut down a bit the aggregate 11in fer the Domlrfon.

In Prince Edward Island the smelt and mackerel fishermen 113d less luck than 1n October of last year but the lobster, oyster, and cod. fisheries brought increased returns. Oyster production for the month was valued, as landed, at over $25,- 400, a gain of more than $8.000. Most of New Brunswlcl-Cs fisheries were more successful then 9 tWBWB- month ago. though lobster and oyster catches and value fell off somewhat. Most of New Brunswiok’s fisheries were more suecesful than a twelve- month ago. though lobster and oyster catches and value fell off. somewhat. On the Pacific coast reductions in salmon and halibut landings were mainly responsible for reducing total provincial landed value. Halibut and salmon, taken in decreased quantity in October, are more valu- nble than other Brtish Columbia- spccles and hence the increase in londings of these latter kinds ‘of fish and shellfish did not brim! qrfficlent rise in landed value to offset the drop caused by the rc- rlueton in salmon and halibut fares Ls be'n,w continued to make the| boundarPs mic or less perman- "n11, and t" dvde ‘w maltn" era ‘ntn sub-"sfrlct of high. medium, and 10w profs"; with crrpespond- ing dlastatlc activity.
