Canada’s -most famous hunting grounds are easily reached via Canadian Pacific Railway. Year after year organized hunting nai- ties visit these localities and prac- tio‘ally:_always bag the limit. The farmer of the new period is the product of the earth, of its education, its enterprise, its in- vention, its research, its scientifjc investigation, its progress. He is, in a still deeper sense, the pro- :Iuct of a civilization and the cit- izen of a country which outranks all others, ancient or modern, in sweep or service to mankind. race, but it is manufacturing men and women, sane, symmetrlcal. stocked with common sense, open to high-er things, receptive and retentive. ing up billions upon billions ini __.-__._- its reserve, and maintaining at :1; His Mother’s Son. high plane the very life of the! {it $139 annual prize day Of a certain Hon. Martin Burrell, Minister of Agriculture, has been doing an in- estimable service to the farmers and live stock producers of Canada in his endeavors to arrange for the sale of Canadian canned goods and dres- sed meats to the British authorities. The high ocean rates have demoral~ ized the ordinary shipment of live stock on the hoof to England, while the American market despite the fact that there are now no duties has been poor. Mr. Burrell’s efforts, ii they are successful, will at this criti- cal time prove a great stimulus tc this industry. Through the efforts of Mr. Burrell an offer has already been made to the British War Office to: perial authorities have, subject to military necessity, been prepared to do everything possible. In the first place they have, during the pas two months, refrained from requisitioning any ships on the Canadian route, tak- ing all the new ships required from other routes. so that the increases made in the Imperial transport ser- vice to Canada, are net additions to the transportation facilities for Can- adian products. Further, the Imperial Government, when possible, is releas- ing. temporarily at least, Canadian liners already requisitioned. “The Mount Temple of the C.P.R. line will in this way re-enter the commercial trade during the present week. Advices have also been re- ceived that the Kawack, Heligoland and Barenfels, ships not previously in the Canadian service, are being re leased to enter this service imme- diately. Military necessity must govern every movement made, and it will be obvious that plans cannot be made public. but the Imperial authori- ties will assist as far as possible, and the matter is receiving the continu- ous attention of the committee of the Canadian Government.” Freight Rates Are High Since this announcement many other ships have been released by the Admiralty for the Canadian trade. So far there has been no shortage for ocean tonnage to provide for contract exports, nor is it expected that there will be any shortage. . -u' Since the present Government. took office the development of govern- ment-owned and operated grain stor- age ; ilitiesfi Ihas 9been little short of name this}. 913I there was not a government dinne terminal QED infer- ior storage elevator in W este Cah- ada and only a ver'y' small capacity provided in the east.

The committee has daily cables re- garding rates from all the important grain ports of the world. The Can- adian and American rates are the same. Charges from Montreal, Porto land. Boston, New York and Balti- more to Liverpool and London show no discrimination in ocean rates against the Canadian port. HON.

This would relieve the trade of the worries and anxieties of transportation risks and charges and would, it is believed. impart confidence to the business which might develop as a result of these negotiations.
