Ci > nt emer - can always know all Japan's Wheat Plan Success Completed 2 Years Ahead Of Schedule Decided In 1932 "Tokio = The ~ Japanese ~ Governi| ~ ment's five-year wheat.growing pros ject, inaugurated in 1932 by the min, istry of agriculture and forestry to enable the country to supply its own requirements of th? cereal, has achieved its objective two years ahead of time, Estimates submitted at a een: ference in Tokio of the chief officials of the wheat encouragement bureaux in the various prefectures showed the wheat crop in Japan this year will yield 44,849,900 bushels while the 'estimated consumption of the country is 45,000,000 bushels. In 1932, when the scheme to en- courage the farmers to grow more wheat and to teach them how it was put into operation, the yield was 32,- 488,800 bushels from a planned area of 508,716 cho (1,246,354 acres.) The planted area this year is. 647,723 cho (1,686,921 acres.): last year the yield was 40,265,200 bushels from 616,476 cho (1,610,366 acres.) Since the domestic crop is now practically equal to consumption, the officials have decided to xelax their efforts to increase production and to concentrate their attention on effect- ing improvement in quality. Although bread by no means sup- plants rice, which xémains.the;staple cereal, it has been popular as.a food for several years and army regula- 'tions prescribe mixir . wheat with rice before boiling :it for soldiers' rations... The wheat constituents counteract the tendency of polished rice alone to cause beri-beri. -- Burning up the Country During the recent dry season for- est fires have been raging in various arts of Nova Scotia. We venture that 'there are comparatively few within this constituency who have ever seen a fire in action in the woods dis- tricts, observes the Victoria-Inver- ness Bulletin. Writers have depicted the prairie fire of the West. The prairie fire is a babe in arms compared with a for- est fire. A forest of fir, hemlock and spruce aflame is a veritable inferno. 'When the balsamy spills of the bushy _ trees burn freely the wild flames sometimes cover a frontage of miles, reaching from the underbrush on the ground to far above the tree tops. This vast fiery furnace at times travels faster than a horse can trot. Wild animal life is wiped out, valu- able timber destroyed and frequently, in its course homes and whole vil- lages are razed and lives snuffed out. The fury and roar of a forest fire will never be forgotten when once experienced, The fire in the forest never starts ~of itself. It practically always is started by some human agency. Oc- casionally the fire gets away from a farmer burning refuse on his own property. Some of the most dis- astrous fires: have been' deliberately set by persons desiring to burn over a barren to induce the growth of ber- ries. Then, too, there are the ac- cidental fires growing from camp fir- es left insufficiently cared for, or the carless match or burning cigarettes thrown aside by 'those passing through the woods. ~ There are perhaps a hundred and one ways that forest fires are start- ed but practically every one is avoidable by ordinary care, There are license laws whereby the government parties who have been in any forest where a fire has been started. The utmost effort to locate and convict every one re- sponsible in any way for a forest fire should. be put forth. Then severe - punishment should' follow. The setting of a forest fire should be in the catagory of crime, 'It en- dangers life as well as destroys pro- perty and lays desolate the country. The public lash or a reasonable fire brand punishment may, however, be more to be feared than a few years in Dorchester, We have rarely heard of the per- pertrator of a fire having been con- victed and punished. Regardless, the powers that be, should let it be known that jn future<no quarter will be * shown in the crime of setting forest fires, ; Duchess of York.

THE REASON WHY! Readers of this column may wonder why a substantial proportion of it relates to the mining industry and mining companies, There' are several reasons why the writer has largely confined himself to this phase of financial matters not the least of which is the fact that a very substantial percentage of Ontario's population is interesed either directly in the mining industry or indirectly through their holdings of the shares of mining companies. No matter where one goes mining appears to be a subject of common interest. Secondly, news regarding industrial concerns is largely a matter of conjecture as only a very few companies give out information except at the time their annual report is published, while progress reports from the various mining companies are in many instances issued a number of times 'during the year. The third reason for the preponderance of mining items is the fact that the inddstry has, during the past decade, developed into one of the Dominion's most important assets and leading financiers, business men and government officials have openly declared that the industry has been the largest single factor in aiding business recovery and it has helped in maintaining a sound credit position for the Dominion, proportionately equal to that of the leading nations of the world. industry provides employment for more workers than any other single class of industry with the possible exception of farming. least important, is the fact that boom conditions existing in the industry have resulted in the placing of large orders for electrical and mechanical equipment, chemicals, explosives and other mining necessities which in turn has lead to manufacturers increasing their staff; car loadings have increased, and the industry has also provided new outlets for agricultural products. Over one hundred million dollars were paid in wages and salaries in 1933 by mining companies and the writer is of the opinion that almost every com- munity in this fair Dominion of ours has benefited in some way from the It has also been responsible for the influx of millions of dollars from the United States, Great Britain and other coun: -tries. These feasons, in the opinion of the writer, are sufficient to warrant preponderance of mining gossip in this column, ; : In addition the mining Finally, but not the New Wheat Crop of High Quality According to Country Guide, Winni- peg, it appears almost certain that the quality of the new wheat crop will be among the finest if not entirely eclipsing all previous records, Of a recent week's car inspections, 83.6% graded No, 1 Hard or No, 1 Northern, the world's finest spring wheat grades, A large number of tests from Mani. toba and Saskatchewan indicate that the protein content will be higher than any year since the protein surveys were instituted In 1927. Another feature is the continued high-price of Durum wheat which has been running 10c¢c to 11c higher than the corresponding grade of bread wheat, There were about one million of it in Manitoba, A new source of income was open- ed to prairier farmers by the arrival of purchasing agents of the American Relief Commission in search of Can. adian straw, Prices will likely be about $3.00 for wheat straw and $4,00 for oat straw, products hitherto prac- tically unsaleable, It seems certain that this. will aid. considerably in their leaders said they: had hoped the, 8Welling farm revenue in 'the Cana.
