H PAGE 2.‘ Canada has had many celebrated writers since Confederation; but for the most part their work has neces~ sarily been an extension to new soil of impulses originally Euroâ€" pean. She has, however, made one unique contribution to world litera- ture in the invention of the animal story in the late eighties by Charles G. D. Roberts and Thompson Seton-aboth native sons. Previous- ly. no writer in the world had ever treated animals as subjects for ser- ious fiction; but the discovery and conquest of this new and fascinat- ing field by the two Canadians led othersâ€"particularly in the United Statesâ€"to follow them, with happy results. Confederation itself inspired the first considerable outpouring of fine native poetry; for in 1867 Lapman, Carmen, Duncan Campbell Scott and Roberts were children of impres- sionable age, and Louis Frechette still in his twenties; and the optim- ism with which they, as young men, faced the future, serene in a faith in the destines of a united countr , led them to sing in more con dent tones and with a surer mastery of‘ their art than the poets of earlier generations. Love of the land was their chief inSpiration. And- after them came younger menâ€"Maclnnes, Nelligan. Service, Lozeau, Pratt. Nurwood and Wilson MacDonaldâ€" all distinguished for artistic virility, and one woman-r-Marjorie Pickthall -â€"-famed for the sweetness and tenderness of her melodies. Dana- dian poetry is conservative, digni- fied and graceful, and is yearly oc- cupying an increasingly more en- viable position in international lit- eruture. Miss Mazo de la Roche’s recent at- tainment. of fame. with her novel “.lalna" marks the present peak of a steady rise in native fiction. evident from the days of James de Mille and William Kirby. shortly after Confed- eration. Towards the end of the last century Gilbert Parker and Ralph Connor were telling Canadian stories to their hundreds of thousands. Miss L. )1. Montgomery's "Anne of Green tables“ 'at the beginning of this century became enormously popu- lar. The successful Canadian novelâ€" ists and short story writers of this decade form :a large and honorable company. including such as Paul Morin and F. P. Grove.

Another 111sult of this 1111VV attitude is a con- stanth increasing library of read- able books that inte1pret the lite of each s111'tion of the countrV to other sections. thus promoting closer union.

For more than a century we have’ been manufacturing paper in Can- ada. but up to 1860 it was made outl of rags. wood pulp being still un- known. The demand for paper out- grew the supply of rags. and in certain woody substances, found, for example, in the aspen and the poplar. the spruce and the fir. and also the basswood. a new raw maâ€" terial was discovered which was practically inexhaustible. and which .sl cur-AAA.- as Iipper Canada. It was in the Province of Quebec. at. Windsor Mills. that the company of Angus Logan erected in 1870 the first fac- tory for making pulp and paper out of wood. In 1887. Charles Riordon established at Merriton. Ontario. the first plant for the treatment of wood pulp with sulphite. The industrial census of 1871, however. makes no mention of any pulp factory; but the census of 1881 takes note of five. There were twenty-four in 1891. To-day we have forty-five. with thirtyâ€"four paper factories ,and thirty-five plants for making both pulp and paper. Pulp is manufactured either mechanically or by various chemi- cal processes. _ . . . In this interesting Canadian m.

Very large and increasing quantities of wood pulp are. now used in the production of newsprint.‘ A .‘I’_, AAA-“ f--LA_._ "fig-first Canadian paper factory was established at Crooks' Hollow in the Provinceflof O‘ntar‘i‘o. then .known LL- PAPER MANI'FAC’I‘I_,'RING: A GREAT CANADIAN INDUSTRY The paper produced from the wood pulp is put to many uses, as newsprint, wmpping paper, etc., in sheets or in rolls, tar-paper, wall- paper._ cardboard; etc. erations: the cutting of the pulp- wood, the manufacture of the pulp, and the manufacture of the paper therefrom. The wood is transported to the pulp mills in different ways: either by floating it down the rivers in cribs containing thousands of logs eight feet or more in length, or by rail, in which case the WOOd is cut into pieces two or four feet long, and the bark is removed before shipping. A federal law dating from 1907 forbids almost entirely the export of unmanufactured pulpwood out upon the Crown lands of any Canadian province with the exception of Nova Scotia. wrvâ€" . _.__ In the United States the produc- tion of newsprint alone in 1925 amounted to 1,530,318 tons. In Canada during the same year our mills produced 1,529,251 tons, not counting poster paper, wall-paper and other kinds. This comparison shows that the Canadian production is. very nearly equal to that of the United States. During this same year of 1925 the Province of Quebec alone produced almost half the total quantity credited to Canadaâ€"more than half the newsprint, more than two-thirds of the wrapping paper and simliar papers. more than one- third of the writing and the book paper, more than one-fourth of the cardboard. The production of 1925 represents a gross value of $303,078,- Our farmers, especially in the newly settled districts, furnish the mills with a considerable quantity of pulpwood. In clearing their land they set aside the wood which they cannot dispose of more profitably in other ways; they cut it up and re~ move the bark in their spare time, haul to the railway each winter the supply prepared the previous spring and sell it to the pulp mill agents._ D_-_._ JAM The long logs are cut regularly by operators who float them down to the pulp mill, or to a sawmill where they are cut up and barked to re- duce the cost of transportation by rail to their destination. Statistics for the year 1926 are not yet complete. but it is already cer- tain that the Canadian production of newsprint has exceeded the United States production. Oanada has beâ€" come the greatest producer of news- print. The immense factories which are under construction in the Proâ€" vince of Quebec, particularly on the Gatineau River and at Lake St. J ohn‘. will greatly increase Canada’s ad- vantagein this line. A n- ,1 v “-AVWCV In celebrating Canadian confed- oration it is well to review our pro- gress in all fields of action. Even this rapid glance at the production of wood pulp reveals the truly re- markable expansion of our industry. Several additional varieties of hardy pears fruited in 1926. They are crosses between Russian pears and some of the better commercial varieties grown in Canada and some of them show great promise as hardy pears of fairly good quality. They are more resistant to blight than many other varieties and may be grown in colder‘ districts. Five new varieties of everbearing strawâ€" berries are exceptionally promising and are expected. when thoroughly tested, to prove superior to existing The Division of Horticulture of the Dominion Exiierimental Farms Branch has for many years been carrying on breeding work with dif- ferent kinds of fruit and each season sees some new varieties of special promise produced. Among the new varieties of apples that have been bred during recent years and have been planted . in commercial or- chards as soon as stock was avail- able are the Melba, Joyce. Lobo and Lawfam. The Melba is an early ap- ple of Duchess season and McIntosh quality, well colored and attractive. Lobo is fully equal to McIntosh in appearance, but is not of quite as good quality. It is earlier than Mc- Intosh and is recommended' for Eastern Ontario and Quebec.“ SOME NEW VARIBTIBS OF FRUITS sorts.

An interesting circular flare is added to the front of the skirt, which is topped by a smart full bow of the velvet. BOBBY’S ESSAY Thanksgiven is the funeral cere- mony of an unforchunet bird kalled turkey. Thowsends of turkeys is razed evri year to be a sacrifice on the alter of gratitude. No thanks- given servis is complete without at least one; The reason why turkeys is the national thanks-given bird is be- kaws there principal form of ex- pression is gobble, gobble. The dif- ferents between the turkey gobbler and the thanksgiven gobbler is, when the turkey gobbles he expands his tail, and when the thanks-giver gobbleshe expends his waist. The p111etons dident have thanks- given seleb1ashuns eV ri year. Some yeers there krope failed. When the krope wuz good they had thanksâ€" given on akount of being relieved from worrying about lack of food.

One way to avoid this is to put fly paper on the table before layen out the turkey. A good way to close the thanks- given ceremony would be for the morners to stand up and sing the following him: The turk be prased My stumak is raised Just above the\ table And I’ll be jammed If I’m not krammed As full as I am able.
