"When the Great War occurred, it was soon brought home to those in authority in Great Britain that Germany had more trained scientists in six or seven of her great industries, than could be found in the whole British Empire. An Ad- visory Council for Scientific and Industrial Re- search was immediately established in Great Britain, and each of the Dominions was requested #| to establish a similar organization for the pur- pose of developing and stimulating scientific re- search within its own borders and with the ex- pressed hope that in due course an Empire scheme for scientific and industrial research, which would ensure the industrial position of the Empire would evolve. Acting on the above request, the Can- 8 | adian Government, late in 1916, established an Honorary Advisory Council for Scientific and In- reesees: dustrial Research, now known under the short | title, "National Research Council." #| When we consider the great wealth of our | country in the form of forests, coal, fisheries, | minerals, water-power, and the vast stretches of | rich agricultural lands, we are optimistic enough | to believe that the twentieth century really be- longs to Canada. We must remind ourselves, however, that these marvellous material resources #| are not inexhaustible. There was some excuse # | for the pioneer settlers who when faced with the i | problem of clearing the land piled trees of quarter | cut oak and the best walnut in log heaps, and #| burned them. With the increase 6f world popu- # | lation, and Canada's strategic geographical situa- | tion, it behooves Canadians to conserve the ts | natural wealth of this great country. The con- 8 | servation of the fertility of the prairies is not only one of national, but also of imperial importance, for it means the protection of much of the food supply of the Dominion, and not a little of the empire. - But the human element is, after all, the de- termining 'factor in national development, pros- perity and permanence. The discovery and train- ing of the inherent ability of the youth of Canada is primarily the responsibility of educationists, hence teachers and trustees should be deeply in- terested in the activities of the National Research Council, and of the Foundation for Research re- cently established by the Ontario Government in co-operation with industrial institutions and the » | universities.

Let us have your With a total attendance of over 55,000 students in the twenty-three universities of Canada, there should be discovered many bright young men and women who have a talent for research, and whose services would be of inestimable value if employed in investigating the possibilities of agricultural and industrial development. The nations that neglect the advantages to be obtained from the research laboratory will inevitably fall by the wayside. 4 The Royal Commission on Industrial Training and Technical Education appointed by the Bominion Goverment in 1912 recommended the establishment of an institution for research for the Dominion of Canada. They considered that the conservation of our natural resources should be assumed as a national problem, lying as they do at the very basis of trade and commerce.

The small investment on the part of the Dominion Government in research has already proved its value many times over as conducted by the National Council in a limited way. We know what has been achieved by research in Germany, Japan, United States, Great Britain, and can realize the stimulus that a vigorous research licy should have in developing the material and Dn resources of this new country. Scientific research i the mainspring about which these countries are now building up their industrial and agricultural organizations. : The United States invests $200,000,000 annually in research, and, in the opinion of President Hoover, they get value for four times that amount. There is an illuminating article in the October Atlantic Monthly which tells of the achievements of the Japanese through their annual outlay of four million dollars in research. New Zealand has established a Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, which operates along the same lines as the Department of "Re- search in Great Britian. The Goverment of 'Austrailia has established a' Commonwealth Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. Knowing what has been -achieved in other countries should fire the imagination of Canadians and give stimulus to a vigorous research policy, 'with a view to bringing Canada still nearer the forefront among the nations. - The National Research Council of Canada, first appointed in 1916, has done splendid work, con- gidering its very limited laboratory facilities and financial resources. Many new departures have been inaugurated by the Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, Minister of Education for Ontario; but few announcements of policy have met with greater approval than the proposal to establish a branch of agricultural and industrial research. The Government inyited the industrialists to participate in the establishment of such an institution, promising to contribute dollar for dollar. The response has been so gen- gpous, and the proposal appealed so strongly to 1 © general public, that four million dollars are now in sight for the undertaking, and the work has been commenced. "There has come to me voluntarily," said Pre- mier Ferguson, "in contributions to the Founda- tion, $1,622,000, and I know there are many other philanthropic and generous people in the com- munity who only require to have the matter brought to their attention properly to add some- thing to that. The Government's purpose is to meet these contributions dollar for dollar, because we realize that there is no investment that will bring a greater return." The Government is to be commended for their faith in the project, be- lieving that an expenditure of two million dollars annually in scientific and industrial research will be a paying investment in the conservation of the resources of the Province. We shall confi- dently look for a generous return from this in- vestment in the prosperity and happiness of the people. Elementary and High School Education must be more. definitely related to agricultural and industrial development. The co-ordination of technical and vocational education and the closer co-operation between agencies in the field of research will be called for. Industrial develop- ment of the future must essentially rest upon the public education of the community. According to the report of the Kemptville Agricultural School, out of 120 farmers' sons who graduated from that institution, all but four are now working with their fathers on .the family farms. This gives a faint idea of what might be done towards agricultural prosperity by the estab- lishment of a larger number of such schools own laboratories in order that they might keep Ee ---- We have applications for the following loans $2,000 at 7% $3,000 at 614 INVESTORS' NOTICE Two first mortgages on farms; S------ . a uta ive for our list of vill $4000 at 6%, $1200at 6% Two loeal mortgages: $800 at 7%. $300 at 7%, 'McGregor, } Setonant-gove been appoint- Lieutena H ernor of Mani- 1 icceed a: throughout the Province of Ontario.

"% nigh : Jo SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT GRAVEL PIT Scared being crushed to death in the Harrison gravel pit; west e. . ; The usual thing happened. The gravel had been dug out under the bank until there was quite a cave, and into this hole Carnochan had gone to work. A great quantity of earth came down on him without warning, and, as a result he was pinned down so that he was rescued with difficulty. Dr. Mathers was rushed to the scene, and upon examination it was found that the unfortunate man: was badly crushed. His head and shoulders were badly hurt. Two ribs were broken, and he was painfully bruished. But the worst injury was to his right leg, which was terribly dislocated at the knee. It is probable that Mr. Carnochan wil not fully recover from his injuries for some months. LETTER RE FISH CONSERVATION Port Perry, February 4th, 1929 Dear Mr. Editor; ~ Since my letter published recently in your valuable paper, re fish in Scugog Lake and River, I have been asked a great many questions regarding the fish which have been placed in our Lake here, and why there have been no results so far. I think the best way to answer all these questions is through your paper. One reason is that the fish were not put in proper places and were eaten up by other fish. Now all these fish which are dis- tributed by the Department have to be placed in the water ac- cording to the breed of fish so placed. First, we will take the Speckled Trout. These fish spawn away up the. small spring creeks, where there is plenty of gravel so that they can clean out holes and deposit their eggs. The males run first and pick out the places, which are always in some spot where the currents are swift so that the spring freshets will move the gravel to such an extent that the little fry are able to swim out. As soon as they lose their sac (which is formed along the stomach and acts as food for the little fellows until they begin to feed for themselves, then the sac disappears,) they become scattered and are prey for all kinds of enemies such as water beetles, leeches, frogs, craw fish, dragon flies, and others. This makes the percentage of fish that come through less than 57%. Then man their worst enemy, starts to put down that small percentage, so that in the end there are not many fish and they seldom, if ever, see their fourth year. The only successful way to raise fish is to have Fish Hatch- eries, Fry Ponds, Yearling Ponds, then two and three year ponds, then the fish' are fit to be caught. \ Pickerel can be raised in the same way. Of course they are not hatched as Salmon Trout or Salmon, which are all hatched in trays, tanks and troughs. The pickerel are hatched in glass jars, the water. being. fed through small tubes which keep the eggs moving all the time. If this was not done the eggs would all Back together ad become a solid mass of fungi in forty-eight ours.. Pickerel, White Fish and Herring, all go up the rivers and streams to deposit the ora. Now, that being the case, it is only natural that, when stocking waters, they should be placed in the streams, and not in the lakes, unless they are fingerlings and can get into the weeds and protect themselves from other fish. Bass and Lunge cannot be raised under these conditions at gravel nests have been prepared for them. The male fish stays near the nest protecting their young until they are big enough to take care of themselves. . Lunge and Pike spawn in the shallow edges of the marsh. The number of eggs deposited by the various fish are as fol- lows--speckled trout run from two hundred to two thousand eggs, according to size and age of fish. Pickerel from five to ten thousand. Bass one to four thousand. Lunge fifteen to thirty thousand and sometimes more. If the trout have such a small percentage, what must the bass, lunge and pickerel suffer? Does not this go to show that places should be built to protect these valuable fish? Steps should be taken at once, with a view to filling our lakes and rivers with fish. The tourists are piling money into the Department every year and increasing all the time. If they want to pay for their sport, (and they are good sports) why not be prepared to give it to them? Well, Mr. Editor, I do not want to take up any more of your time, but T do think something should be done at once. Don't wait--it is dangerous. I think a meeting should be called (giving the outsiders of the locality also a chance to attend) for the pur- pose of forming a Fish, Fur and Game Protective Association. Then the Department will do something for us and not before. Thanking you for this space. Iam, Yours sincerely, J. C. COCKBURN. mere Yee Mr. John Rennie, of Wick, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J.
