with alt of us crop cstimateligurcs just issued at ottawa are di appointing they irc with the execptmn of wheat considerably below the i01h yield and be peak a big drop in agricultural rcturiu as compared with early eutimatcrt ttic wheat yield is practically so mm 0o0 bushels below the estimates ot u month or so rfgo tho figures now stand at 10j 088 800 bushels as com pared with 248 0d2 000 bu hcls a few weeks nice this big decline in tho estimates i based largely on the damage done by rains during tho horvct season this drop spells a los of approximately 130000000 to the country for the three western provinces the yield is give nas wheat 101410 000 oats 240 856000 barley 40412000 and rye 5054 000 bushels while these figures arc disappointing there is little pistim ism in western canada it is said thai tho yield runs in cycles and that 1020 is the year for tho big crop producers arc looking optimistically toward tho re turns for their next season s labor the united i urmcrs of ontario who won first place in the general elections on october 20 are for tunate indeed m having among their number a man of the type of l c drury of crown hill simcoe county upon whom to call to be prime minister of the province tho independent labor party have juinetj the u i o m the selection of mr drury the new premier is a real furmcr who farms and formb only for a living he is a graduate of the ontario agricultural college guclph and a son of the first minister of agriculture mr drury is a young man of forty a tluent speaker a clean man and highly cotccmed the union ofthe farmers and the labor representatives in u government will be of great value to both parties and no doubt to the country at large there will bo greater consideration for each others position and eventually a closer understanding of the demands of justice and equity in relation to each there appears to bo a disposition an the part of the new premier mid his advisers to treat fairly all parties in the formation of the now cabinet statistics furnished by the i inance department at ottawa for the six months ending september ao 1910 show a most encouraging state of affairs even though there has been a decrease in canada s total trade as compared with the same six months of 1018 the total value of canadian trade export and import trom april 1 to september jo 1u1b was 1087232 880 and for the same period in the present year 1054057402 or 32575418 less put the chief drop was in the value of imports exports fell only 11320805 as compared with the 1018 totals when it is remembered that last ycur the war was still in progress and canada was exporting munitions that ceased to oc made so soon as the armistice was sign ed the decrease in exports is surprisingly low it is clear thqt our exports of a permanent character both agricultural and of manufactured commodities must have risen above eyen those of the war period can ada therefore has maintained u great overseas mar ket for something mure than war supplies which she has an opportunity of permanently holding but this market wus only rendered possible by tho credits fur nished to great britain and i uropcan countries unless the canadian pcopto by a generous oversub script ion to the 1010 victory loan furnish the mpi tal whereby these cicdits mid this vast export trade can be maintained the sunie period of 1020 will uhow a shrinkage that cuunot

anything at stake in canada annu ually watches the prospects or the wheat crop and the prices it is likely to yield he knows that on the returns of this commodity alone depend a grea deal of the countrys prosperity if canadas surplu wheat is sold at good prices the rcturnb mow into every channel of enterprise and industry a fort night or bo ago sir thomas white threw an impor tant light on what the victory loans of the past two years had accompllshcdin connection with this single item of national prosperity i great britain was and is canadas greatest mavtptior wheat but by reason of the pressure exerted orr her finances during the war the motherland had been unable to find the ready money to purchase bur surplus the alterpa tivc was that canada should lend her cash which re turned to the pockets of the canadian producer by tho sale of the wheat surplus at high prices the enormous importance of this item was shown by sir thomas when ho said that in addition to other credits 170000 000 hod been loaned to great britain in connection with the single commodity of what lust year of courbc this would have been impossible if the victory loan of 1018 had not been a great suc cess the circulation of this great sum meant pros perity to vast numbers of canadas citizens and if tho same system is to be continued canadians must lend of tho profits and savings with equal enthusiasm this year now that acton is taking the status of ureal town with all the necessary utilities and improvements to make t a desirable and attractive place for residents seeking homes here and manufactories looking for suitable locations for their factories it is very ncccs sary that our citizens take steps to look after the best interests of the municipality to this end some per manent organization of citizens in tho form of n board of trade chamber of commerce community club or whatever it may be called should be orgauiz ed at once the municipal council it is truo has the legal government of the corporation entrusted to it but unfortunately as our laws exist there is no con tinuity to the membership of this body all the men who are in office this year and who inaugurate such important matters as aro now before us muy be loft out of office h next election as a result municipal utilities arc apt to suffer if our citizens who ure interested in the towns welfare will band themsclvcs togethcr and bo prepared at all times to advise with the council on public matters much permanent good would result any council of reasonable men would gladly welcome the co operation and suggestion of citizens thus organized all tho wisdom of the com munity is never centred in tho half dozenjdcn who aro elected to look after the details of tho corpor ati6n whoever they may be und u regularly organ
