Silver Fox Breeders' As Only 53 Years Since Inception -- sociation, presented at the recent an- nual meeting in Charlottetown, show- ed the sale of 29,468 pelts last season, with few remaining in the organiza- tion's hands.

Halifax, Nova Scotia.--The Geodetic Survey of Canada has arranged with! the city of Halifax for the construc- tion of a fundamental reference monu- meat to be erected just inside the northeast gate of the public gardens, The height above sea level is to be! accurately established, and this post ! will be the initial for all levelling operations throughout the Dominion.

H. Godwin, Do- minion Agricultural Inspector, who has just completed a tour of the fields in Victoria, Carleton and part of York Counties. The acreage of seed pota- toes this season is about 5,200, prac- tically the same as last season, and it is anticipated that the yield will reach the 1921 figure of a million and a half bushels, Last year the average pro- duction was 276 bushels to the acre. About half a million bushels of last autumn's crops were exported and the bulk of the remainder disposed of do- mestically. As the export demand is fairly stable for certified New Bruns- wick seed, it is expected that ship- ments will be maintained this year, Quebec, Quebec. -- The preliminary statistical report, issued by the Que- bec Bureau of Mines, on the produc- tion of minerals in the province during the first six months of 1932, shows a substantial increase in the amounts of gold and silver mined.

Sil- ver was produced to an amount of 337,- | gether. | Review of Canadian National Exhibition Reveals It As World's Largest and Products Shown in Detail--Aptly. Called 'Show After the comparatively short exist- ence of fifty-three years the Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto has achieved the unique success of becom- | Ing the world's largest annual exposi- tion. This is not an idle boast for the attendance has at times exceeded the two million mark and the park build. Ings and equipment have a value in excess of twenty-one million dollars. Eleven years after the Confedera- tion of the Canadian Provinces was effected and hope sursed high in the breasts of Canadians, the Exhibition came into being, and from that time forward kept astride with the new country and in many instances was a source of inspiration for new and as- tounding achievements from the At- lantic to the Pacific. Through the decades the industrial development and the Janadian Nation- al Exhibition have progressed to- From the time of its incep- tion in 1879 as the "Toronto Industrial Exhibition," until the year 1904, its in- fluence was almost entirely local, but it was steadfastly becoming Dominion- wide in activities. In that year the Board of Directors realized that the whole Dominion of Canada was vitally interested in the future and the activi. ties of the institution and had the name changed to meet the new con- ditions. From the exposition of 1904 to the close of the Great War it served only Canada, but with the cessation of hos- tilities the nations of the world turn- ed their thoughts to trade develop- ment and sought a means of fostering world trade. The Canadian National Exhibition presented the opportunity, and to-day most of the manufacturing nations of the western and eastern hemispheres are increasing the size of their exhibits at this institution, It has now out grown its purely national characteristics and has become a per- manent "World's Fair." To say that it is one of the wonders ot the world might be considered by some to be a broad and extravagant statement, but nevertheless it is one 692 ozs, compared with 263,966 ozs. in the same period last year. Quebec, Quebec.-- "There are goo ways of curing fish, and better ways, too, and fishermen in the Magdalen | Islands, Quebec, have been aided in applying these better ways by the ac- tion of the Dominion Department of Fisheries in sending an expert among them last year to demonstrate the most efficient method of curing cod for market," says the Fisheries News Bulletin, "This Instructor was very successful in his work and a report to the department from its supervisor for the territory which includes the Magdalens is to the effect that a large part of the cod catch made in the is- lands is now processed according to the instructions given." Montreal, Quebec.--The practice of avianging the displays of manufac- turers. of similar products into sec- tions will again be followed In the sixth annual Produced-in-Canada Ex- hibition, to be held October 31 to No- vember 6 at Montreal, Thus, what- ever the total number of exhibitors, their wares will be groupel into ap- proximately 10 sections, whose com- prehensive and, at the same time, de- tailed displays will have an interest- ing appeal to the visiting public. These divisions will include engineer- ing, which implies steel products, building materials and processes; an electrical branch, featuring household appliances and electrical refrigera- tion; office furnuiture, food products, paints and varnishes, modern heating and an extensive display of textiles. Montreal, Quebec.--Heavy consign- ments of British anthracite, mostly from Wales and Scotland, are being ceived at the port of Montreal this season, and for the month @f June re- ceipts amounted to 124,867 tons. This compared with 123,968 tons for the same month last year. From the open- ing of navigation up to July 12, im- ports of anthracite from Great Britain ' have amounted to 347,427 tens, com- pared with 290,280 tons to the same date last year, an increase of 57,147 tons. British bituminous coal brought to Montreal during the same period has amounted to 65,642 tons, pared with only 888 tons last year to the same date. Total receipts of im- ported coal, including German anthra- cite and American bituminous, etc., for the season so far amount to 431, 466 tons, compared with 336,467 tons for the corresponding period last year, Ey * Has Job Picking Street Glass Des Moines.--John B.

Every phase of human activity is re- presented in a detail of astounding completeness. The display of the Federation of Bri- tish Industries is the largest sent by any country to an exposition and re- presents a combined capital invests ment of approximately thirty billions of dollars. France, United States, Ber- muda, Cuba, British West Africa, Mex- ico, New Zealand, Australia, India, the Union of South Africa, Panama and many other countries have exhibits at the Canadian National Exhibition. It is a constant wonder to the visit- ors who view the Canadian National Exhibition for the first time that such a project could be perfected in the span of 53 years. Here within the limits of the city exists the phenom- ena of a second city. For that is pre- cisely what the exposition is. 1It.is populated yearly by a cosmopolitan population drawn from every quarter of the globe. It contains 100 perman- ent structures of solid and lasting con- struction, many of which have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to erect, and four in excess of one mil- lion dollars each. It stretches along Toronto's waterfront for a- distance of 1% miles. The grounds have an area of 350 'acres, through which winds 9% miles of paved streets.
