Yet the total cash value of the 92 awards amounted to only about $900.

For more than a decade Canada has through her individual agrieulturitsta been exhibiting at the International Grain and Hay Show at Chicago with results that in a national sense have been exceptionally gratifying. The numerous championships secured at the show for wheat, oats, and other cereal crops have perhaps constituted the most powerful factor in broad- casting to the interested world at large the high quality of Canadian farm products, the fertility of Cana- dian land, the benMeenee ot the Do. minion's climate. and the profit to he found in farming with their assets. It has long been realized that in the achievement of such an honor there was no material profit for a Canadian winner. Generally. in a consideration of the various details entering into the business ot exhibiting, and the flood of inquiries he received as the re- sult ot his award, he was subjected to a not inconsiderable monetary loss. in 1923. for instance. one hundred members of the Canadian Seed Grow. town and surrounding country who gave their lives in tho Great Wu.

In the modern world we need more science, lees sentimental rhapsodlzing that deals in large, poetic generali. ties instead of accurate and definite information.

Development of natural resources and railways must go hand in hand in the growth and success of Canada, and as new branches are built new areas will be opened up to cultivation, new mines will be made commercinlly pos- sible, and our more distant forest re- sources will be available to industry. The organization: necessary to satis- factorily move this enormous quantity of freight, with its great number of loading and distribution points. must give cause for admiration of those responsible for such service.

This has been the situation also with respect to our for- The extent to which the development of the Natural Resources of Canada is dependent upon railways is not suf- fheiently appreciated by Canadians, with the exception of the few who are intimately associated with transpor- tation activities. When the early pi- oneers had to drive great distances, over difficult clay roads, and then only at seasons when such roads were passable, their wants were few, be- cause they had to eoniine their trad-; ing to very limited areas. i The Naural Resources Intelligence Service of the Dept. of the Interior atfttawa says: The Explosives Division of the De- partment of Mines at Ottawa has is. sued a small pamphlet on the Hand- ling of Explosives, and those who have any blasting to do, it would be we" to send for a copy, which will be sent tree on request.

Trade between Canada and the West Indies is, ot course. mutually carried on under advantageous con- ditions, the preferences each accords the other ranging form 10 to 50 per cent. These advantages have, how- ever. been considerably offset by the lack of emcient trade media, and the two countries have remained very far apart, exchanging trttods.throttgtt tor. eign channels which resulted in con. siderable economic loss and the im. position of a hindrance to any further substantial trade development.
