Feb. 18--The competition Canadian wheat pro-; ducers will experience in world markets at the hands of Russian peasants almost immediately, was Srophicnliy portrayed at the inter- national wheat pool conference of Canadian, Australian and United States wheat pool delegates here today by Di D. P. Pavlov, repre- sentative in the United States of the Central Union of agricultural co-operatives in Russia. Not only has Russian agricul- ture almost regained its pre-war status as a producer f grain, but as an exportter of wheat and bar- ley. She is within appreciable distance of resuming her place as the principal provider of bread grains to the consuming countries of the world, the delegates were told by Dr Pavlov, speaking thro' his secretary and interpreter. This year the total shipments will reach 200,000,000 bushels, and by 1928 Russia will be on a prewra footing with an annual export of half a billion bushels, according to Dr Pavlov. "This process will be progres- sively intensified," he said, "since the populace, the co-operatives, and the government are adopting determined measures for rational- ization of agricultural economy. The use of better seeds,adoption of improved agricultural machin- ery and tools, is becoming wide- spread, and measures are being taken for the change to the many- fielded system of agriculture. Grain elevator ccnstruction is being resumed, the five terminal elevators and g1 farm elevators in 1925 have been increased by a large terminal at Nikolaov last year, and another fifty farm eleva- tors. Tractors are being built and while 500 were sold in 1921 the number was increased to 1,200 in 1923 and 10,000 in 1925 with ar- rangements to handle nearly three times the lastmentioned number this year. The cansumers and agricultural co-operatives in Russia are now handling thirty perrcent of the turn-over of the country and in grain they are handling twenty percent, a large proportion of which is disposed of in the home market.

Hundreds of sport enthusiasts and tourists from the New England states, Canada, and other parts of the continent are turning up in force at the Ancient Capital. Miss Isabel Coursier, only nine- teen years of age, is the world's woman champion ski jumper. She created a world record at 'Revel stoke, B.C. at the age of sixteen in 1922. This winter, taking part in the winter sports at Quebec, Miss Coursier made a jump of 83 feet in the International-Intercollegiate Ski contest. A report from Smiths Falls, On- tario, is to the effect that a train was stopped in order to avoid a col- lision with an automobile making for the tracks over a crossing. The train was stationary when the au- tomobile struck one of the cars. The occupants of the automobile es- caped uninjured. Tourists on the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Scotland were at the famous King Solomon quarries, beneath the walls of Jerusalem, on Christmas night. Many of them, according to a cable received at C.P.R. head offices, bought gavels, made from the stone of the quar- ries, with olive wood handles. According to information at the headquarters of the Canadian Pa- ; cific Railway, holiday passenger traffic this year from points west was the heaviest since 1920 in the past few weeks and represented a fifty percent increase over the amount handled over Canadian Pa- cific Railway lines last year. Spec- jal arrangements made care of the Christmas and New Year rush worked efficiently. Canadian Pacific Railway earn- ings for the month of November were $19,294,184.37, an increase of $1,193,239.12 over the same period for 1924. Net profits for Novem- ber show an increase of $218,153.80 over the month of November of 1924. Net profits for the eleven months ending November were $35,- 327,983.83, an increase of $1,830, 043.32 over the corresponding pe- riod for 1924. According to Johannes Borge, journalist, of Bergen, Norway, who is visiting the Dominion to rec- ord his impressions of Canada, silver fox farming has become a very important industry in parts of Norway. There are now about 150 silver fox farms in the Sondmore district of Norway. Last autumn, about 120 silver foxes, estimated to be worth 1,000,000 kroner, w shipped from the island of Norwey. Traffic on the Great Lakes this season compares well with that of last year as far ag Canadian Pa- cific earnings are concerned. M. | Mec.D.

A party of Mennonites, bound for western Canada, mostly to Mani- toba, arrived in Montreal recently with the report that those of their i sect who had gone te Rosario, Mex- ico, were far from satisfied and in- tended going north. It is under- stood that 1,000 Mennonites have emigrated to Canada within the last two months and that about 2,500 A more would be coming in the spring. Hans Seidler, in charge of 'he ' party, said not one of them thought of going to Mexico. _iuow anu | DRYDEN - ONT. | 3 There is nothing so comortabie as an OLD PAIR OF BOOTS Don't throw away your Shoes just because you think they are too far gone.
