t Wt Canada Speeds Up |EFFICIENCY MPARED Dominion‘s â€"Christmas Trees, Holly. Flowers and Poultry in Brisk Demand Here + A bulletin issued by the Canadian Pacific Railway says that the coming Christmas soason means a period of brisk activity for certain Canadian inâ€" dustries. Some of these, though reâ€" latively small, have a certain imâ€" portance to the producers as a means of added income, while the railways benefit from the increased traffic, and the Dominion generally from the inâ€" creased volume of trade. "The principal of these is peTBAPS | noryes trouble you and you feel rest: the furnishing of Christmas trees," |, ., says the bulletin.

Last year more than a million trees, or some 500 carloads, averaging 2,000 trees to a car, were shipped from New Brunswick alone to the United States market, Fredericton reporting shipments three times as great as the year before. Shipments from the Proâ€" vince of Quehbec to the United States over Canadian Pacific lines alone rar to 450,000 in 1925, and were substan tially greater last year. 3 , "Contrary to what is often elaimed, the satisfying of the domestlc and exâ€" port demand for Christmas trees is, according to expert forest authorities, an insiznifcant drain upon Canadian | forst wealth. One authority points j out that fo revery small tree destroyâ€"|. ed fo rthe Christmas trade a million | are killed in Canada by forest fires.| Again it is pointed out that certain |. species of trees, such as the balsam f and codar, which enter into the trade | are known as "weed trees," and have| littie or no value except as Christmas trees. Again other species are supâ€" pliecd through the process of clearing | land for agricultural purposes, and also from a very necessary thinning | out of commercial forests. | "To an evorâ€"Increasing extent, howâ€" ever, Christmas trees are coming from . farmers‘ grownâ€"up pastures, swamps and wastelands, and many settlers make a comfortable little Income from this business each year when conâ€" veniently situated as regards marâ€" kets. In 1925 the revenue of Quebec farmers from this source ran, accordâ€" Ing to eatimate, to $100,000, and was substantially greater in the Maritimes, In the annually increasing demand there is opportunity in certaim secâ€" tions to plant woodlots and follow a thinningâ€"out process each year ensurâ€" Ing a steady addition to income. "Another _ Christmas _ adornment | which is going from Canada to the ) United States each year in increasing quantity is holly. Holly production in Canada is confined to the Pacific Coast of British Columbia, but this very limitation has resulted in the deâ€" relopment of a thriving little indusâ€" try. An expansion of enltivation is taking place there as the demand | rcross the line becomes brisker. The | relatively few ranchers engaged in the | industry find it a profitable undertakâ€" Ing, and, according to one of them, §$800 per acre is a fair average income trom this pursuit. ‘ "The sale of decorative plants and | cut fowers is particularly brisk at the Christmas season, and it is re-i markable th manner in which this inâ€". dustry has developed in the Dominion, though there is still a very heavy imâ€" port trade carried on. In the past year indoor plants sold in Canada numbered 13,076, and had a value of $146,581, while cut flowers sold numâ€" bered 15,269,144, and had a value of $1,295,028. Still more remarkable is it to discover that many of these move to the United States at the Christmas season, even the Prairie Provinces enâ€" gkaging in this trade. At the City of Medicine Hat, which first came into prominence as the centre of a great ranching territory, are greenhouses with a production greaterâ€"than any with one exception in Canada.

Following the discovery of â€" rick sliver deposits near Cobalt, Ontario, in 1905, the production of silver in Canada rapid‘y increased and since that date up to 1925 Ontario was the leading producer.

The modern hatcheryman must folâ€" low modern business methods, that‘s certain. If he has sales problems to soive, he must solve them in a modern way. His hatchery is like a factory: eggs are the raw material; baby chicks are the finished product. The factory must be kept working at caâ€" pacity to keep overhead and producâ€" tion costs down. Sales must keep step with production. In the early days of the baby chick industry selling was simpler. Once the public got the idea that baby chicks could be bought in the market like apples or handkerchiefs, it was necessary only to tell it where the chicks could be bought, for everybody wanted to buy them. But it wasn‘t long before the problem complicated itsel?. Competition developed rapidly and hatcherymen had to beg in to use their brains in working out selling problems. Quality production proved to be the best solution of the quantity production problem;s quality chick mean satisfied customers. Here is one method to help reduce the added cost of producing quality chicks. In carrying on the business of the Kentucky Hatchery, we make it our regular practice to have the customer pay delivery charges upon his chicks. All shipments of our chicks are made by express or parcel post, shipping charges collect. We know this is enâ€" tirely different from the usual custom, but we are able to do it because our chicks are high quality and our cusâ€" tomers are so anxious to get them that they willingly pay the shipping costs. It means only a slight extra expense to them, but to us the aggregate sayâ€" ing is a very material item. In any case, it seems logical to us that the customer should pay delivery charges. In fractically all other busiâ€" nesses where delivery is made by mail or express, this plan is accepted withâ€" out question. We make it a matterâ€" ofâ€"fact proposition, emphasizing it clearly in our catalogue and price liat;| people simply make up their minds they want Kentucky chicks and the question of a small delivery charge does not deter them from ordering. It is an easy step in the same direcâ€"| tion to sell chicks on a C.O0.D. basis,' which we have been doing regularly.) A $1 deposit is all that is necessary to secure the booking and shipment of | an order, no matter of what size. We require this nominal deposit to show us that the customer is in earnest in his desite for the chicks. Last year 60 per cent. of our busiâ€" ness was handled on a C.O.D. basis, with entire satisfaction. We found that the percentage of returns was very small: such chicks as were reâ€" turned were brooded in our own storâ€" age brooders. Our chicks can readily stand the shipment and return withâ€" out injury. We run them in the nursery for two weeks and another week in the colony house before sellâ€" ing them as threeâ€"weekâ€"old chicks. We also sell some sixâ€"week stock. Of course, one must have high grade chicks if the C.O.D. sales plan is going to work. That reduces the chances of return, for the customer will be so pleased with the quality of his shipâ€" refusal It is easy to start a potted winter garden with almost no capital. The mere statemert of one‘s desire usual ly brings offers of cuttings from anyâ€" thing that one fancies in the colleâ€" tions of friends, together with direcâ€" ttions as to how to grow them.

BABY CHICKS, C.O.D. Plants from Cuttings that there will be no reason for Hunting Cancer To Its Lair Dr. Louis Sambon, as Test of Cancer Theory, Plans Conâ€" centrated Research in Isle of Man London.â€"As soon as the sanction of the Ministry of Health is obtained the Isle of Man will become the centre of a concentrated cancer reâ€" search to be carried out by Dr. Louis Sambon, one of the world‘s leading cancer experts. He plans to make a minute examâ€" ination of the flora and fauna of the island and to leave no stone unturned in the hope of finding a cure for the disease. Dr. Sambon, who is working under the direction of the British School of Tropical Medicine, has inâ€" timated that he already has a theory regarding the origin of cancer and hopes by this means to find support for his theory. With the aid of street maps and medical registers he plans to make a thorough checkâ€"up in all the island districts of persons who died from cancer in the last fifty years and all cancer victims now living. "If my previous experience counts for anything," he said, "I will disâ€" cover that cancer clusters in wellâ€"deâ€" fined areas where the people living there are liable to be attacked. ‘"My colleagues and 1 will then conâ€" duct a minute examination of the verâ€" min in each district, especially rats, mice, cockroaches, cellar beetles, and various kinds of worms. We have alâ€" ready established a theory and we want to see how it is supported." Dr. Louis Sambon, an authority on tropical diseases, who almost twenty yars ago reported the cause of pelâ€" lagra and later investigated the cause of malaria when he lived in the musâ€" quitoâ€"infected Roman Campagna, has in recent years devoted his attention to cancer. \ Londonâ€"Since the shingle and boyâ€" ish women have been growing premaâ€" |\turely bald, say West End hairdressâ€" | ers. _ The shortâ€"haired vogue isn‘t | wholly to blame, they hasten to add, w‘declaring it is a case of "sparing the ‘comb and spoiling the scalp." In 1925 he announced a belief that the disease was parasitic. His deâ€" claration was printed in The Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, published in London, and received much attention. Cockroaches, cellar beetles and other insects were the contagion carriers, he wrote. Last April Dr. Sambon reported inâ€" vestigations on cancer in villages in Northern Italy, where he had searchâ€" ed death records and street maps and isolated whole sections as "cancer streets" and "cancer villages." At that time he made the request, supâ€" ported by medical authorities, that the British Governmentâ€" and public should subscribe to a fund to carry out further research into this theory and set apart a region for mass inâ€" vestigation.

These latter will be able to proceed from ship to train under shelter and in comfort. Early last month the authorities of the selfâ€"governing Isle of Man gave permission to carry on the work there.

Disorders in Russia Another Disasterous Transâ€"Atlantic Flight the house __ ONTARIO ARCHIVES j TORONTO "The prison population of Great Britain is under 10,000 and the numâ€" ber of prisoners serving sentences over fifteen years is infinitesimal," states P. W. Wilson, former Member of the British Parliament, in Decemâ€" ber Current History. "For fifty years the number of murders has been uniâ€" form at about 150 per annum in ‘spite of the fact that the population has inâ€" creased. The death penalty is apâ€" plied only about fifteen times a year." Mr. Wilson attributes these good conâ€" ditions to the fact that prompt arrest and trial may e taken for granted and there is unifiecd enforcement of law with Judges appointed for life and irâ€" removable. The British police, moreâ€" over, are unarmed, and firearms in general are permitted only under & strict and personal lHcense. The great efficiency in â€" identification methods and detective work of Scotland Yard, "whose officials are appointed for life with prospect of pension and are thus far removed from political inâ€" fluence," act as a strong deterrent force ,as also does the known diffâ€" culty of escape due to the guarding of frontiers and coast lines throughout Europe in general."
