The tomato acreage in British Columbia this year is placed at 2550 acres in 1927; in Eastern Ontario, at 3,200 acres, as compared with 3,280 acres, or approximately the same as in the previous year, while the acreage reported in Quebec is 2,000 acres. Onion acreage, on the other hand, has declined somewhat, due doubtless to a falling away of the New Zealand market last year, says a bulletin on the subject. Acreage deâ€" voted to this crop in British Columbia is 1,035 acres, as compared with 1,233 acres, and in Ontario 1,568 acres, compared with 1,580 acres. The Canaâ€" dian potato acreage indicates at 2 per cent. increase over 1927, with 581,300 acres, as against 572,373 acres, all provinces reporting slight increases with the exception of Saskatchewan and British Columbia. iz certsin specially favored areas where canning industries have develâ€" oped. Ontario and British Columbia find ‘heir tomato and onion producing indu: â€"les profitable, and though poâ€" tato : ‘owing is followed on a voluminâ€" ous «cale in every province for local markets, commercial production for exgort is largely confined to the Mariâ€" time Provinces and British Columbia, which have won high reputations for their products. The present year also sees the ambitious entry of the Prairie Provinces into commercial vegetable production, canneries hayâ€" ing been established at Edmonton and Medicine Hat in Alberta, supportâ€" "Though vegetable growing is enâ€" raged in extensively throughout Canâ€" adla," the bulletin continues, "comâ€" riâ€"rcial production has come to centre ed by producing acreages about them, and the first tomatoes, beans and other vegetables are being processed there this Fall. "While the graeter part of Canadian vegetable production is either conâ€" sumed fresh or canned locally, there is a substantial export trade carried o nin fresh vegetables. Potatoes, of course, constitute the most important item, the Maritime Provinces product being widely and favorably known and British Columbia steadily extending its reputation in the same regard. In the last fiscal year Canada exportâ€" ed 7,.744,960 bushels of potatoes, worth $7,338,906, as compared with $8,319,080 bushels, worth $9,717,425, in the previous year. The United States is the big market for this product, taking nearly 65 per cent. of the total, followed by Cuba, also a longâ€"estabâ€" lished market, where nearly +30 per cent. of the .exports go. Other imâ€" portant potato markets are Newfoundâ€" land, Jamaica, British Guiana and Berâ€" muda.

"Of late years the Dominion has developed a profitable market for her onions, principally with New Zealand and the United States. Last year she shipped 42,830 bushels, worth $50,â€" 059, as compared with $4,390 bushels, worth $125,430, in the previous year, the decline being due to a falling off in the New Zealand demand. In spite of the smaller acreage, this year shipâ€" ments are expected to equal those of last year. The Dominion also has an increasing export of turnips, last year 2,630,958$ bushels, worth $708,548, beâ€" ing shipped to the United States, which country also took $3,225 tons of sugar beets, worth $323,683. "Despite this voluminous producâ€" tion and export, Canada is importing fresh vegetables very heavily and to an increasing extent. The value of such imports in the twelve months ended with July was $6,262,934, as compared with $5,535,307 the year beâ€" fore. For the main part these comâ€" prise vegetables which the Dominion is capable of produciag herself, includâ€" Ing cabbagey to the extent of $305,â€" Vegetable Output Hockey in England 569; celery, $486,305; onions, $548,521; potatoes, $799,039, and tomatoes, $1,â€" 550,.102. These imports are all from the United States, with the exception of onions, which come also from Ausâ€" tralla, Bermuda, Egypt, Japan and Spain. "The canning of vegetables in Canâ€" ada is making great progress both for domestic consumption and to send abroad, and exports are steadily inâ€" creasing. In the twelve months ended July last 15,478,035 pounds of canned vegetables, worth $1,099,042, were exâ€" ported, as compared with 10,656,990 pounds, worth $769,254, in the previous corresponding period. However, the import of canned vegetables/is at the same time increasing, figures for the same period showing 16,308,847 pounds, worth $1,456,166, entering the country, against 15,337,774 pounds, worth $1,319,758, the year before. Many of these, for instance tomatoeg, peas and corn, could be produced equally well in Canada. > We don‘t accuse him of commercialâ€" izing art, but the other night a Caliâ€" fornia undretaker played "Waiting for You" on a trumpet at a lodge function. â€"The Thomas E.

"It has been pointed out by authoriâ€" ties that an expansion of the vegeâ€" tableâ€"growing industry on the Pacific Coast of British Columbia, which can successfully produce the year round, could eliminate the necessity of a good deal of importing by other parts of Canada. Experiments have been made in shipping green vegetables from Vancouver to points as far east as Toronto and Montreal, though their effect has not been noticed in import trade figures. Arrangements are anâ€" nounced for an improvement in the marketing of British Columbia apples from coast to coast through the estabâ€" lishment of facilities at all chief ectnâ€" tres, to which supplies will go daily.

"Travelers usually cut across on the ice, but Constable Makinson followâ€" ed the shore and discovered first a large bay running southwest, and then a fiord two miles wide. An island ln‘ the middle of the bay made the fiord difficult to notice from seaward. He also explored some fifty miles up the fiord and its branches. The party was absent from the coast for forty days and covered 700 miles. Climbs Frozen Waterfall "From Pond Inlet, at the northern end of Baffin Island, Inspector C. E.

Margetts aggregated nearly 1,300 miles during three patrols to Milne Inlet, Arctic Sound, and Home Bay ;respectlvely. and Constance Cox made some shorter patrols to the height of land between Eclipse Sound and Foxe ‘Basln. The most important trip was Inspector Wilcox‘s patrol to Fury and Hecla Strait, this taking him to the ‘northern end of Foxe Basin and to Melville Peninsula. He traveled across the interior of the northwestern part of Baffin Island, traversing numerous lakes, and on one occasion climbing a frozen waterfall. About 150 Eskimos were visited, and they were generally Getting Ready to Fire Up . prosperous, with plenty of food; the usual census was taken. In this reâ€" gion the caribou were quite numerous, and wolves were scarce. The journey was marked by a fAveâ€"day blizzard, and the weather was so cold that the coalâ€"oil, carried for fuel, froze and had to be thawed out by native oil patrols on Devon Island in the vlcln-‘ ity of Dundas Harbor. However, two extended patrols were made, one across the island to Belcher Point and the other westward to a place called Cuming Creek and inland up the gorge of this watercourse.

He also made a journey with one Eskimo companion along the southeastern coast to Cornell Grinnell Bay. A shortage of dog feed and frequently severe storms made this trip a trying one. The party was asbent forty» five days and covered 640 miHles. "The detachment at Lake Harbor on the southern coast of Baffin Isâ€" land was established during the Winâ€" ter of 1927â€"28 by Sergeant J. H. F. Wight, with Constable P. Dersch. The buildings were begun while the Beothic was in the harbor on last Summer‘s patrol. _ After she left, the rain was incessant and it was six weeks before the policemen could go on with the work. As all the dogs had died in an epidemic, compara tively little patrot work was done. The total mileage was about 500. "At Port Burwell, at the entrance to Hudson Strait on the mainland, Corporal H.
