Iellowing is the. detailed state- ment of Canadian crop yields, as is- sued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, from reports of corre- spondénts at the end of September: The total yield of wheat in Canada iz now placed at 193,688,800 bushels, including 174,687,000 bushels of spring wheat and 19; 001,800 bushels of fall wheat. Upon the acreage sown the average yield per acre. is 101% bushels for spring wheat, 23 34 bushels for fall wheat and 1114 "bushels for all wheat. In 1918 the total yield of wheat was 189,075,350 bushels, or «ll bushels per acre. For oats the average yield per acre for Canada is 27 bushels, representing a total of 399,368,000 bushels as rar ed. with last year's average of 28% bushels and a total of 426,- 312,500 bushels. Barley, swith an average of 22 bushels, yields 66,443,- 500 bushels, as against last year's average of 241% bushels and total of 77,287,240 bushels. Rye with an average yield per acre of 141% bush- els yields the total of 8,234,100 bushels as against 1514 bushels and 8,504,400 bushels. tn 1918. The yields in 1919 for the three prairie provinces are estimated at 161,419,- 000 bushels of wheat, 246,856,000 bushels of oats, 46,412,000 bushels of barley, and 5,954,000 bushels of | rye. + The quality at harvest time of the principal grain crops for Canada ex- pressed in percentages of the pre- vious ten years was as follows: Fall wheat, 96 (89); spring wheat, 91 (99); fall wheat, 92 (98); oats, 99 (94); barley, 89 (97); rye, 92 (92); peas, 91 (95); beans, 95 (82); buckwheat, 96 (86); mixed grains, 94 (98); flax, 93 (92), and corn for husking, 94 (89).

"Reds" Like Canada. = CAN that remains of the Finnish Foreien Legion, which, under Brit- ish leadership, fought the Germans on the Russian frontier, but would u not fight the Bolsheviki because they were revolutionaries themselves, want to come to Canada. Away up in' the Baltic are these would-be 'Canadian citizens, whe helped the allies against the Teutons, but have "been a problem ever since. These 'are strange allies since the legion was recruited from none other"than former members of the Finnish Red - Guard who were expelled from thelr country after the last change of Gov- 1 try, they were formed into a foreign legion, 14,000 strong, and under | British and Canadian officers did good work against the Germans, who - tried to cross the Russian frontier to 'reach Murmansk, After the armis- tice, 'however, 'they refused to fight} "the Bolshevi "efforts of Britain most of the legion was finally repatriated, but there was a certain element too steeped in revo- "lutionary ideas for the Finnish Gov- ernment to allow re-entry.

Wetton protests they are not Bolshevists, although a little : radical in' tendency. He says they | are anxious to come to 'Canada, and | ' he has made representations to the - Dominion immigration authorities in: that respect. However, it is scarcely 'likely that Canada will see the mat- ter in the same light.

"Autumn' cr "Fall." .Both are correct, "autumn" being © rather more classic and generally used in England, while "fall" is now distinctly American and more expres- sive in its reference to the time of falling leaves. 'In England, autumn is still sometimes called "the fall of the leaf." An English writer says: "Fall is better on the merits than autumn, in every way; short, Saxon, picturesque; it reveals its derivation to everyone who uses _j it, not te the' scholar only, like au-! right to it as the Americans, but we have chosen to let the right lapse and to use the word now is no bet- ter than larceny," But if "fall" is 'more expensive, tion of long usage and classical ap- proval.. The poets all give it #the preference. Different ones speak of 'congenial autumn," and 'yellow autumn, weather with nodding corn." Prince an Indian Chief.

Through the They BC a VALUABLE INDUSTRY BALDWINS, LIMITED, WiLL LO- +CATE IN CANADA. Name of the Firm Is One to Conjure With In the Old Country, Where They Employ an Army of 14,600 Workers, and a Large Branch 'Will Shortly Commence Opera- tions In Toronto. HE real facts in the story of / the coming of a branch of the great Baldwins, Limited, the largest steel manufae- turers of Great Britain, to the for- 'mer site of the British I'orgings Com- 'pany, on the reclaimed land of Ash- bridge's Bay, Toronto, are far more arresting 'than the sometimes weird rumors that have been circulating for some weeks past in the press of Can- ada. Some idea of the immense im- portance of this industry and what benefits may accrue to Toronto and the country from its foundation thére was obtained in an interview with the representatives of this great firm, Roger Beck and J. C. Davies, the managing-director, who are making arrangements for the installation of the industry, the first buildings of which have already been started on the sandy land of the new'manufac- turing district. Baldwins, Limited, is a name to conjure with in the Old Country and wherever there is a demand for steel. It has an authorized capital of £7,000,000 sterling, with £5,000,000 called up. Its 13,000 to 14,000 work- men form an army larger than that which established the British Empira in India and other parts of the world. Its ramifications and property extend to every part of the British Isles, where it is entirely self-contained. "We have our own peat, our own ¢oal, which is mined in South Wales, our own iron-ore mines in Oxford- shire and other foreign countries,' said Mr. Beck "We have large deposits of silica, out of which heat-resisting bricks and material is made; and so on," said Mr. Davies. This magni- tude expressed in terms of products that would be astounding Baldwins turn out 1,000,000 tons of steel in- gots, and raise 1,250,000 tons of coal every year. They make ship plates, boiler plates, rails, black and galva- nized sheets, and tin plates, which are rolled in their mills. Around the Baldwin plant there spring up a host of complementary and necessary -in- dustries, such as coal, bricks, fire- clay, sulphuric acid, tin smelters, and a hundred other firms. Loli There, in brief "outline," is the great firm of Baldwins. The problem 'of some men of imagination and pa- tience was how to show that firm that it was needed in Canada, a fact the company clearly recognized, and 'how, especially, to have it located in Toronto. That feat was accom- plished principally, Mr. = Davies acknowledges, . by Mr. Home-Smith and by Mr. E. L. Cousins of the Harbor Trust. 'If it hadn't been for the determined effort of these two gentlémen,?' said Mr. - Davies, it would be very doubtful whether we should have embarked on this ven- ture in Toronto. . I should like to "mention the names of these two -gen- tlemen' in particular. I should like to say, 100,' how; well. we have beef received by the people of Toronto; "how all the! information possible has been placed beiore us; and how we have been assisted in every way." "The whole project was opened up by our firm," said Mr. A. M. Russel, Montreal. "We are agents in Canada for Baldwins, Ltd., and for a number of years, we have been advising them to locate out here, or it would be only they had established in Canada would be a thing of the past. We Sir Adam Beck. the it is Mtumn; and we once had as good a: 4 lead-coated pi lates, 'autumn' has sanc- suggested that 'they should acquire i the site of the British Forgings plant in Toronto, and establish a tin-plate "and sheet industry, and manufacture ; there, thus recovering the business that was lost to the American manu- facturers. Mr. Davies came out to Canada in April, and, in due course, the: British Forgings plant was ac- quired." The final decision, Mr. Da- vies explained, was reached through two. factors; the first, by the eiforis of Mr. Cousins and Mr. Home-Smith in the purchase of the property; and, | the second, through the sympathy of | "Although we have not been able altogether to have Sir | Adam meet our desires," said Mr. 'Beck, a namesake of the Hydro- knight, "still in our conference, we haye:. .been shown every coasidera- "tion, and hope for the result. pany to locate in Toronto," said Mr. Davies, "was this: Before the war we did a very considerable business in Canada, and, finding that the . whole of this was being captured by the United States, it was natural that { we should make an effort to restore in a few. it. 'What we're out for, words, is. to mczet the needs of the whole of Canada in tin terne piates, and gu lvanized and black sheets. the imports of these ar ticle /betore and galvanized sheets.

He was particularly interested in the Prince of Wales, who was invested feet long, have already been begun; and, soon,' there will be 2,200 me. employed for a start. l "The first unit we have commenc- ed upon," continued Mr. Davies, "will require 100,000 tons of num.
