During the summef - the pvrices for commercial live stock soared to very handsome levels. but during the fall. market quotations have receded The situation in Canada is ten sim- Ilr in some respects. The sum total of production in 1928 will reach enormous; figures and the actual selling value Will be stupendous. of course. But the amount of money actually received by producers themselves is another mat- ter. It is common practice to multiply the number of bushels of wheat grown by the selling price of the top grade Ind use the resulting figures 5 the farmer's income. Paper profits and gross receipts are not of much use in meeting taxes or paying interest on the mortgage. The wheat crop was an enormous one. of course. reaching or exceeding; 500,000,000 bushels: but such a large: I percentage of it is: grading feed. orf something not much better that farm- g ers in Western Canada are 'ising Up' in revolt. The producers feel certain ,; that the grades they are receiving do; not represent the true milling value of the wheat. and that through pro- cessing and mixing the grades will be altered before the crop ultimately reaches the millers and the markets of the world Outside of British Columbia the apple crop has been light. Potatoes have been produced so abundantly this year that the market value is Deceptive Prosperity Throughout the Presidential cam- paign in the United States, the Repub- lican party stressed two points. name- ly, the phenomenal prosperity now existing. and the need for farm relief.

It might be argued that the Prov- ince as a whole should not be ex» ‘pected to pay for sidewalks in town."- or large villages or densely populated suburban districts any more than in cities.

Ont. has once again drawn the attention of the public. The jury was empanelled to investigate an accident which occurred on a road near Whit- 1‘ by. and in which a young woman was >' killed. In its verdict the jury recom- 3' mended that efforts be made to teach W the public to walk on the side of the. 1- road used by vehicles going in the n Opposite direction to their own and - that something be done to induce the IOntario Government to provide foot- - paths along highways in the thickly f populated sections of the country. 3 .

The Whitby Jury igsuggests. as some other persons have "t done. that pedestrians may avoid l danger by keeping to their left hand ' side of the road. That is good advice. . The pedestrian who follows it leaves [room on the road, to his right. for fthe passage of vehicles going in the :same direction as himself. He is also ; §able to see vehicles approaching on . ,the path that he is using and can step 1 :aside and allow them to pass. While that is so. the surer way to ensure ., the safety of pedestrians is to con- .struct sidewalks or footpaths of some kind by the roadside and separated from the roadway over which vehicles travel. It may be said that to lay sidewalks along the whole length of all roads would entail a huge expen-l diture of money. and that such walks |5 ,may not be needed everywhere.
