Snowfences on the Provincial Highways, in the Eastern Town- ships of Quebec are erected as around here, but in addition, have two crotched sticks interlacking each other and set at an angle to the fence, to prevent it blowing over. These sticks are about eight feet long, are placed at the top 0f every fourth steel fence post. Then, angled to the ground. ~Through these same townships, ~id in Quebec Province too. very f~w barns have stabling under t~iem. Many wells do not have pumps, but a long pole with a nope attached ta one end and a crotched pole set upnight, in the grounçi ta act as a fulcrum. Around Dacre we saw many wooden pumps. Guess a lot of folks remember when they were ~Ientiful around home. Because of the language, we feit more like foreigners in Que- bec Province, than we did in any part of the United States, though we must admit we were treated witk the greatest of cauntcsy and kindncss everywhere we went. The drive ta Quebec City was undertaken on a cool, sunshiny day. For the first 130 miles there was not anc hilI. The road runs beside the beautiful St. Lawrcnce River. On the other sîde of the road are the Launentian Moun- tains. We noticed some thatched roofs on farm buildings near Three Rivens. These are the ~irst we have ever seen in Canada. On this particular day, the Cath- olics were ceiebnating a Holy Day. Everyonc was drcssed up and eithen going ta or from church. A few service stations anci res- taurants wenc apen, everytbimfg else was shut tight. But in the evening shows, taverns, etc. wcre going fuil blast. In every village the most beautiful building is the Roman Catholie Church. The architec- ture o! these plaçes o! worship is simply stunning. No matter whicb way you turn you will see a pniest or nun, or separate sebool or cburcb.

F3.500 Durham Tobacco Sold From 44c to 22c a Pound Close to three-quarters of the mîllion-pound crop of fiue-cured tobacco in Clarke and Hope Townships of Durham County has 'been soid with the buyers in the ficld for only a week. Now only two of the four buying com- panies are stili in the field in this district. With most of the better crops bought up, buying bas definitely slowed clown. 'n Norfolk and El- gin Counties. the buying is also slo~vcd up ~vith some of the com- panies withdrawing from the f ield. The Essex County crop went on sale yesterday and most of the crons were bought up with- in the day. Highest price paid for any crop in the Durham district was 44 cents while the loxvest was 22 cents Tliis is somewhat lowcr than in other districts, due mainly to the dry weather just at the han- vest season. Other sections got the ram that helped the tobacco to ripen evenly while nain missed this district entircly. Two of the four buying com- pamiies, flic British Leaf Tobacco Company o! Canada at Chatham, and th~ Hodge Tobacco Company of Canada, Kingsvilie (McDon- aid)), have withdrawn their buy- crs from the Durham district. Stili buying some crops. however, are the Imperial Leaf Tobacco Com- panv. Ltd.. of Montreal and the C~nadian Leaf Tobacco Company of Chatharn. 9J GETTUNG UP 9er~~e9 ~e1« V00.c?

Our cabbie spake pretty fain Enghsh, gave -us the warks as fan as a very interesting drive 'vas concerned. He shawed us everything warthwhile, gave us I dates, etc., and was very impar- tial in his statements. His chie! .ciaim ta fame is that, a year ago last winter, he drave George and Mrs. Drew, and Tar~ and Mrs. Kennedy around Quebec City in his sleigb. He thought they were four very nice peaple, but voted for St. Laurent, By Gar! To me, who loves history, it was thnilling ta stand an the Plains o! Abraham and nead the inscription that says: "General Wolfe feil mortally waunded an this spot, duning the battie for Quebec," etc. It was e*citiing toa, ta look down three hundred odd feet ta Wolfe's Cave, the spot where the famous General de- barked fram bis boats, before ciimbing the cliffs ta the Plains o! Abraham, victory and death. The famous Plains are now lovely botanical gardens, ilium- inated at night by a battery 0f very powerful searchlights. It is recorded that on the nigbt Woife's boats were being pro- pelled siiently ta the lauding place, Woife quietly recîted parts o! "Gray's Elegy in a Country Church Yard," then, turning ta a group o! bis officens said: "Gentle- men, I wouid rather be the authon o! that poem than take Quebec." Well, be iost his life taking the city for the Bnitish. Thus proving what Gray, in bis Eiegy, said: "The paths a! glory lead but ta the grave." Although the British General captured the City o! Que- bec aver 150 ycars ago, its popu- lation is today 92 per cent French C~nadian. Has seven Protestant churches, ane Engiish speaking hospital, the smaliest, narrowest streets in America, named "Under the Rock." Its botels are the last Word in comfort (and price). The arcl~itecture ef its buildings, bath ancient and modem, is beau- tiful beyond description. The Salvation Army operates there. There are exactly 84 Jewisb fam- hies, with anc small Synagogue. The city fathers keep them sc~t- tered, won't allow them ta con- gregate in a Ghetto as in other cities throughout Canada. There is a statue of Louis Hebert, the first Frencliman ta farm in the new country (1617); a monument af the first R.C. Bishop; one each of Champlain, Jacques Cartien, Wolfe, Mont- calm. In fact, there is a monu- ment ta anybody who was any- body in the eanly days a! this great land of ours. It is add ta sec the ancient cannon, cbeek by jowl with Ger- man guns captuned in the First Wonld War. The three famous gateways and the aid city wall are lovely beyond description. No other place in Canada can grip the imagination like the aid City o! Quebec. Frankly, I would -prefer ta see Quebec, the Capital 0f Canada, than Ottawa, because of its many connections with the carly phases of Canadian histony, it~ unique physîcal situation, its combination o! the ancient and modem, its revenence for the many things that really count in life.

Wheat Varieties Canada Grows Canadians may justly be proud o! the wheat tbey grow. The reputation tbey have enjoyed fan 50 rnany yeans bas been bujit upon the high quahity a! the wheat fan Ilour making purposes, and for the uniformity o! the different commercial grades o! wbeat inom year ta yean. This higb standard bas been vigilantly maintained by ]icensing only vanieties that have sbown bîgh quaiîty not only in the field but in repeated mili- ing and baking tests. For aven twenty years, samples dnawn fnom cangoes leaving Fort William, Ontania, Vancouver, B. C., and as frequentiy as passible from Fort Churchili, bave been analysed ta ascentain what van- eties wene actually being shippcd out o! the countny. The annual sunvey bas just been completcd and the data are quite gratifying. The tnend in the upper grades sucb as Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Manitoba Nonthern bas been for an increase in the amounts af Marquis and Thatcher vanieties in shipmcnts !rom Font William, wbilc in thase !nom Vancauver, Thatcher has in- cneased very matenially. The amount af Red Bobs in the Font William samples bas remained much the same as hast scason but thene bas -been a decided dechine in the Vancouver shipmcnts, amaunting fnam four t~ six per cent in the different grades. total percentage 0f theue new rust resistant varieties, Thatchen, Apex, Renown, and Regent, ahip.. ped from Fort William and Van- couver has had a very marked effect in driving out some inferiar vanieties. The poor quality wheats have now reached trace proportions. It la expected that the introduction of the new Red- man and Saunders varieties will still funthen improve the quality situation, says J. G. C. Fraser, Cereal Division Central Expeni- mental Farm, Ottawa. To date, neither ai these twa varieties has appeared in the annual survey, as nearly every bushel has been used for seed owing ta the great demand for such purposes. It is estimated that there will be over thirteen million bushels o! Red- man and one million bushels of Saunders produced in 1949, much Qi which will be used~ for seed purposes. The iirst Canadian-made nylon was produced at a Kingston, Ont., plant on June 26, 1942.
