RACE TRACK BETTING IN CANADA IN 1941j During 1941, the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture super- vised parimutuel bettmng at the tracks of 25 racing associations, holding 35 race meetings over a period of 282 days' racing. There were two days less racing than in 1940, but $8,592 more was wager- ed and there was an increase of $21,801 in the prize money. The total amount wagered for the whole of Canada ini the 282 days in 1941 was $21,363,629, as com- pared with $21,355,037 in the*284 days' racing in 1940. The 1941 prize money was $1,073,625. In 1940 it was $1,051,824. The iargest amount wagered was at the f all meeting at Dufferin Plark, Toron- ta, $1,352,908, and the sznallest amount at the one-day meeting at Ciaresholm, Alberta, when $510 was wagered. Ontario with 98 days' raclng wagered $13,650,148; British Col- umbia with 57 days, $3,017,935; Manitoba with 28 days, $2,D93,366; Quebec with 56 days, $1,298,830; Alberta with- 31 days, $920,356, and Saskatchewan with 12 days, $382,994.- From the above it will be seen that the Hon. J. G. Gardiner as Minister of Agriculture, has juris- diction in this utterly useless, senseless, wasteful, wartime prac- tice. Twenty-one million dollars is a lot of -money ta toss around. It could buy a lot of feed and machlnery for farmers for in- stance. But the big waste is 'in maipQwer, with literally tbous-. ands bumming around racetzacks every day of ail the 282 separate days of racing. These "bands" un- der compulsory service, could be booted out ta farms and made to, work. This is part of Democracy that Ottawa refuses ta change by adopting ail-out conscription. wHERE CANADA GETS SUGAR Canadians have a sweet tooth. The per capita consumption a! sua amounts toalamot 100 pouds per year, one o! tic bigh- est rates o! consumption o! any country in thc world, even in nor- mal times. As this means that more than a billion pounds o! sugar are necessary to supply thc annuai Canadian requinementa, it is o! intenest ta know from wiat source sweets are derived and ta what extent these oiginate * in Canada. Comman everyday sugar pur- chased in the store, cames from tva cultivated planta, tic sugar cane and thc sugar beet. Sugar cane, a semi-tropical 'plant, fur- nishes the raw matenials fer-about 80 pen cent o! Canadian nequire- ments. The sugar beet is grovru in Canada, and in 1940, 77,900 acres were planted, 38,200 acres in Ontario, 23,900 acres in Alberta and 15,800 acres in Manitoba. From ttus total area; 825,000 tans o! beets wcre harvested wbîch yieided 213,602,500 pounda o! ne- fincd sugar or approximately 19 per cent a! thc total sugar me- quirementa e! thc Dominion. This was tic bighest amount.e! beet sugar ever pnoduced i Canada i a single yean. The value o! tbls refined beet sugar increased from $8,003,300 in 1939 ta $10,853,700 i 1940.

APPLES FOi -RB9TAIN BUT NOT BY MAIL Announcement bas been made by the Canadian Post Office De- p>artment that thc transmission o! frcah fruit 4~ prohibitcd in thc Canadiana mails ta the United Kigdom and other countrtes, ex- cept tbe United States. Under war conditions, the canniage o! fresb fruit by mail ta other countries has been !aund to -be impracti- cable. In many instances, damnage bhas been caused by rotting or squashed fiut ta othen parces i the mail, and much deiay bas been occasiond i recondltloning parceis for delivcry.

An employer was arreat- cd by the R.C.M.P. at Aurora and is held' for trial an a charge o! breacb of an Order-in-Cauncil wbicb probibita inducig workers ta leave a war-work lob for high- cm wagcs. The trial takes place at Coflingwood, Nov. 24. Thc question is: Can those fac- torie whicb attract f arm labor (which is viar. work) with thic of- fer o! higber wages, be prosecuted likewise? And conversely, will tbey prosecute &a rmer viba gees ta a factory ta get bis hired man back, at better pay, i order ta get work caught up? This obscure but authentic nevis item may cause some barassed labor seekers ta scratch their heads. LIVE STOCK ON FARMS An official repart juat issucd on the June, 1941, survcy o! the numbers o! live stock and paultrY on Canadian farms states that moderate increases viere meported in ahl the principal species. The estimated numbers are - borses, 2,881,450; cattie, 8,806,800; hogs, 5,994,000; sbeep, 3,550,000; hens and chickens, 62,532,000, and tur- keys, 2,556,200. The most significant omission on the part of thc Minister o! Ag- riculture in ail o! these statistical 'compilations is the numbens o! hired men stili, on farms. And juat ta go one stcp further it might be illuminating ta find out how many acres will be out o! production in 1942. This would bear some matie ta tic number of men viho bave quit the farms.' TOP QuALfTy RAMS FIND READY BUYERS At thc second annual sale beld by thc Eastern Township Bneed- crs' Association, at Sherbrooke, Que., on Oct. 15, 1941, a total af 66 ranis were sold, thc average for the sale being $22.90 caci, The bigh price o! $37.50 was me- ceivcd for a tvo-year-old Sirop- shire Ram, owned by Slack Bro- tiers, Waterloo, Ontario, bred by Noci Gibson, London, Ontario. The top price fan Oxford Rani Laxnbs was $37 for one bred by Finlay Bennett, Scottatawn, Que. Buyers viho attended thc sale vere evidcntiy prepared ta PaY gaod pnices for quality stock.

DoMESTIC, EXPORT8 UP Canada's domestic exports toa ai countrle.s for the first nine months of 1941'reached a total value of $,170 million compared with-ex- ports valued at $807 million for the correspondmng months of 1940. Exports ta bath foreign and Em- pire countries increased in value by about 35 per cent. Although exporta of agricultural producta showed a substantial increase, the greatest export trade was in man- ufactured iran and- steel products, This la something for "asupply and accarding ta an Ottawa source. demand" theorists ta paste in their hats. "BIts and Pl eces"' In connectian with the "Bits and Pieces"' programme of the Department of Munitions, and Supply, three local offices have been opened at Montteal, Toronto and Winnipeg. Two more are ta be opened shortly, one in the Maritimes and the other in Van- couver. 1Objective of the B. and P. pro- granmme is ta make use of small independent plants throughout Canada which might net be in a position ta handle complete war contracta but which have some spare time, equipment and man power available. Personnel of the local offices will make special surveys cf the smaller plants in the comniunity and advise thie Department regarding -suitable shops and plants for subcontract- Sing. As the smaller plants gt into production the staff* of thèse local branches will provide a liaison between the plants and the large contractars and the department at Ottawa. The branches themseives wiil not let contracts. -From Financial Post. The Statesman, in news and editorials, bas been emphasizing that Bowmanville's empty factory buildings might now be utillzed.
