traffic and the attraction of quebec beer mr cnell furnishes no exact data on the destination of tourists itjsslmply a general statement of opinion backing up that of mr r home smith mr 0nell by reason of his position may be in a position to know something in a general way about our tourist traffic but he is not by any means a disin terested witness he calls the official figures of cars entering the two pro vinces a joke but he discreetly ignores mention oipfhe estimates of tourisfex- penditures in the two provinces publish ed by the bureau of statistics a dis interested authority and of the decline in these receipts in quebec and british columbia in 1929 while they were still rising in ontario this omission is per haps the joker in mr onells letter there is however on record a purvey of tourist traffic which though llmitd presents some exact data on the prob lem tbe chamber of commerce of the border cities in 1929 established two bureaus upon main highways some dis tance out of detroit where the bulk of the traffic from the whole west and south passed eight supplementary bureaus to act as feeders to the main bureaus were also established reaching back 150 miles these bureaus were manned by university undergraduates thoroughly qualified by training and by special study of the immediate unar taking the checkup covered outstate cars omitting michigan and canadian cars the questionnaire sought to elicit the viewpoint and desires of the tourists the survey covered the months of july august and september 1929 the folio wlngstatement8otthedesi tlnation of tourists ascertained in tills careful and authoritative survey throws light on the matter under discussion ofthe tourists who entered ontario via detroit tie destination was as follows niagara fans 29 toronto 12 border cities 8 other old ontario points 18 northern ontario 12 province of quebec 19 maritimes quebec with its scenic attractions and the frequent routing of trips north of the lakes one way and south of the lakes on return and the importance of the great city of montreal would be expected to attract considerable traffic the fact however that 79 of the touristsinter viewed were destined for ontario and only 19 for quebec- is not at all con vincing as to the compelling appeal of fche-quebee-heer-system-to-the-american- tourist a j irwin toronto april 11 1932 the clock and the calendar the

the days when there was a choice between fabric and cord tires for many years auto mobile tires were built up on a basis of woven fabric then cord tires were introduced tbe cords lie side by side imbedded in rubber being merely held together by slender cross threads which keep them in place until they are sur rounded and hound together by the rubber this was a big forward step in tire construction practically all automobile tires are now made in this way layers of rubber- surrounded cords crossing each other at an angle form the carcass upon which the walls and tread of rubber are im posed and give the tire its strength and springiness much greater because the cotton is not a tightly woven fabric but a series of parallel cords encased in rubber some tire manufacturers claim superior strength and toughness for the cords used in their tires the- goodyear-com- pany for instance which makes its own cords jn its cotton factory at st hya- clnthe quebec has an interesting little machine which demonstrates the elas ticity and toughness of these cords and which it supplies to all its dealers this machine shows hdw far the cord will stretch before breaking and without losing its life and resiliency th ftrmhypm- r has taken an unusual step to draw attention to the importance of the cords in its tires it is offering substantial cash prizes foi the nearest correct estimates of the num ber of cordsin the ayeragegoodyear tire any one may enter this contest by securing an entry form from a good year dealer and viewing the six types of tires upon which the estimate

ing the comparative economy of pork production between purebred hogs of the yorkshire tamworth berkshire and durocjersey breeds and the respective crosses of the same breeds six tests have been conducted over a period of five years at the dominion experimental station lacombe alberta for this purpose the following hogs were used in the trials 68 purebred yorkshires 44 purebred berkshires 28 purebred tam- worths 20 purebred durocjerseys 17 yorkshlretamworth crpssbreds 12 yorkshlre-duroc- jersey crossbreds 11 berkshireourocjersey crossbreds 9 berkshiretamworth crossbreds and 9 tamworthberkshire crossbreds making a total of 160 purebreds and 58 cross- breds fed the comparison of breeds as economic producers was studied at the same time which accounted for there being only a comparatively small number of crossbred pigs used in selecting hogs f the experi an endeavor was made to obtain hogs of fairly uniform size and at the same time obtain lots of as nearly the same blood lines as possible there was some varia tion in the age of the respective lots which was unavoidable based on the five year average the results of this- test show the crossbred pigs to make an- average daily gain per head of 1113 pounds as contrasted wltii 1023 pounds on the part of the pure- breds or an increase of over 11 per cent in favor of crossbreeding in meal required to produce 100 pounds of gain there is a marked dif ference in favor of the crossbred pigs the average showing a saving of 34 pounds of meal on the crossbred lots over the purebred for every 100 pounds of gain produced coming- to the cost- per hundred pounds gain here again the crossbred lots make the better showing with an average for all lots of 55 cents per hun dred pounds again in favor of the cross bred lots while the crossbred pigs clearly ex celled those of pure breeding it must be kept in mind that it takes purebreds on both- sides of the pedigree in order to gain whatever benefits may accre from the crossbreeding process in order to obtain the results in crossbredlng out standing individuals must be secured for foundation stock of the breeds it is proposed to crossi the progeny o tvbhrt mia rhp
