Civilized man is, or ought be, beginning to realize that in res ducing more and more of the sur face of the earth available for agri- culture to what he considers a habits able rondition, he is making so much progress and making it so rapidly that the problem of finding suitable food for his increasing numbers must become urgent in a few generations We are getting into the position the merchant whose trade is coms stantly expanding and who foresees that his premises will shortly be tno small for him. In our ease removal to more commodions premises else where seems impossiblé--we are. not tikely to find a means of migrating to another planet--so we are driven to consider means of rebuilding on the old site, and making the best of what we have, that our business may not suffer, The Supply of Wheat "In 1898 Sir. William Crookes pro- pared some valuable estimates of the world's supply of wheat. Upon these estimates he made a forecast of the relations between the probable of increase and supply and demand and concluded that should all wheat-growing. counttfes add to their {produsin} area to the utmost capa- ty on the most carefal Yalévlatich the yield would give us onl ad- dition of some 100,000,000 ere, supplyin, at the average yiel of 12.7 bushels to the acre, 1,270,000, 000 bushels, | just enough to supply the inerease' "of population among tread eaters till the year 1931." Sir William then added: "Thirty years is but a day in the life of a nation." Half + the alloted hs elapsed, and J it may be useful to in- ire how things are going. Dr. J. Unstead . has recently given us comparisons for Shas decades 1881-00, 1901-10.

Canada's Part. "1f we take the period 1891-1900, as nearly verresponding to Sir William Crookes igitial date, we tind that the succoeding period shows an increase ol 658 million bushels, or sbout half the estimated © inerease wired by 1931, aod that attained nie v by increased acreage.

Making the guess, for we can make nothing better, that this aréa may be increased to 300,- 000,000 acres, and that under ordin- ary agriculture the averege yield may eventually be increased to 20 bushels over the whole, we get an average harvest of §6,000,000,000 bushels of wheat. "The average wheat eater con- sumes, according to Sir William Crook=s' figures about four and a kulf busnels per annum. but the It is as much as six' bushels in the United Kingdom and eight UCushels in France.

Trade Disputes During February Ottawa, March 17.--The record of the department of labor for February shows that there was a pronounced decrease in the number of days lost through strikes and lockouts as com- pared with the previous month, al- though the number was somewhat larger than for the corresponding month of last year. The decrease was largely due to a settlement of a strike oi shoe machine workers in Quebec, work on February 14th. There were altogether seven disputes in existence in Canada during February, as against five in January and nine in February of last year. About twenty-three firma and 4,400 employees were involved in Hive, disputes. Approximately 66,937 working days were lost as com Xith | rsh 450 during January, Onupared uring February of: last year. hte re commenced during Feb ruary, none of which were serious from .the atandpaint of numbers affect- ed. They were all, moreover, of short duration. The dispute of coal miners on Vancouver Island and garment workers at Montreal remained unset- tled at the énd of February. Rev. Francis G. Lett Dead Vancouver, March 17.--Rev. Fran- cls G. Lett, formerly pastor of Me- Leod street Methodist church, Otta- wa, died at his home on Saturday. The late Rev. Mr. Litt was born about 58. years ago near Pembroke, Ontario, and entered the ministry in 1880 ir the Montreal conference. During his career as a minister the late Mr. Lett was pastor in Stan- stead, Que., Sherbrooke, Que., Otta- wa, Pembroke and Smith's Falls.

Complaints have been mide to the police of the actions of Mackay and dow by a number of young girls and women, according to a police officer, who has been working on the case for the past month. A few days ago 4 warrant was sworn out against a young girl nam- od Jenny Smith by her mother, charging her with vagrancy. The girl was arrested, and it is under- srood that she told a story to the police which led to' the issuing of summonses against Gow and Mae- kay. Miss Smith also informed the police of several other young girls and women who are supposed to be implicated in the case. The police agreed to appear nesses Before the summonses were issued Deputy Chief of Police Whately, who hae eltarge of the case, laid the facts hefore Magistrate Jelfs and Crown Attorney Washington, both of whom were of the opinion that the case was strong enough for the police. to take action. The two men appeared ih the po- lice court before MagistrateJelfsand were remanded until Tharsday morn- fing. According to rumors there will be other men summoned in connection with this and other cases on similar charges. The summonses were sétved-on the men individually as they were enter- ing their home at the corner of Charlton avenue and Hughson street.
