A press report from TelfordviUe states that the farmers are well pleased with the allocation of stations on the twenty mile extension to the Hoadley subdivision of the Canadian Pacific Railway. A large number of settlers are going into the territory which wfl>l be served by this extension and the old timers in the district are now clearing and breaking as much land as possible. Kyohei Kato, who represents a Toklo concern, and who has just concluded a business mission to Canada, stated that he had bought 8,000,000 bushels of wheat In Canada, or about hailtf of Japan's total importations. He explained that Japan got more for its rice than Canadian wheat cost in their market, hence the present purchase. He said, too, that .Tapi»;ese were eating more wheat foods and adapting themselves to the stronger diet. "The Maritime Provinces in particular, and Canada in general, need more commercial advertising," was the opinion expressed by Hon. J. B. M. Baxter, Prime Minister of New Brunswick, when interviewed on arrival on board the "Empress of Scotland" after a month's visit to Europe. British settlers in th« Maritime* have been quite satisfactory aa regards type and quality, he said, and he hoped that we will be able to obtain a great many more spread over a period of years. Part of a litter of eight red foxes, which, together with the vixen, were captured In the ^Areola district recently, have been brought to Moose Jaw by Mr. W. White, who has established a fox farm east of this city. It Js many years since red fox have lived at large in their natural state in the southern part of this province, where these were captured. Mr. White intends to start raising patch foxes, a cross between red and silver or black fox, as a commercial enterprise. Wool growing in Western Canada is increasing rapidly, according to W. W. Thomson, manager of the western branch of the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Limited. Cp to June 30th., he pointed out, four carloads of wool had left Regina for Weston.

The farmer submitted to an examination and was informed that he had a growth that would have to be removed. The "doctor" produced a bottle of what he called radium oil, which he said would remove the growth. The cost of the removal of the growth he estimated at $3,000. Deputy Commissioner Cuddy, when questioned, stated that it was an old game often pulled on the farmers. Police received the complaint three days ago, he said, and an investigation is being carried on by the department. ]The "gag" employed by the trick-eteir was an advertising scheme. He drove up to the farmjhouse with two other men in a large blue sedan, and introduced himself as a specialist from London, trying out a new eye-glass, and also advertising it. A woman at the farm-house declined to have a test made, but her brother submitted to inspection and was informed that he had a growth on his right eye. The "doctor" then called in one of his companions, and introduced him as a doctor also. After a whispered consultation, the two produced a bottle of yellow liquid, which they called "radium oil." They stated that they would remove the growth immediately, if the authorities were not put wise. The man consented and the oil was applied to the eye. He has suffered no ill effects. Prospects for a satisfactory wheat crop have seldom, if ever, been more favourable at the end of June, than in 192'8. The general conditions are similar to those existing in 1923, when one of the largest crops in the history of the West was produced. Recent rains have provided sufficient moisture to take care of the crops for two or three weeks to come, and very'little damage has been done by cut worms, frost or floods. According to the North, west Grain Dealers Association, the estimated acreage for 1928 in the prairie provinces amounts to 23,558,-000 acres as compared with 20,879,000 acres for the large crop of 1923 and 21,426,000 acres in 1927. This acreage then, if correct, breaks all previous records. Although wet weather in the early spring somewhat delayed seeding operations in the other parts of Canada, the present outlook for a good yield is favourable. In Ontario, hay crop is expected to be short and light in yield, but in the Marl times the prospects for a large crop bright. Fruit trees in Ontario, British Columbia and the Maritimes have fered comparatively little injury, and estimated that the fruit crop will l excess of last year's.--Monthly .etter of Royal Bank.
