The wheat constituents rounteraet the tendency of polished rice alone to cause heri-beri. Since the domestic crop is new practically equal to consumption. the oMcials have decided to relax their efforts to incrnse production and to comPntrate their attention on duct- ing improvement in quality. In 1932, when the scheme to en.. courage the farmers to grow more wheat and to teach them how it was put into operation, the yield was 32,- 488,800 bushels from a planned are. of 508,716 cho (1,246.354 acres.)

Secondly, news regarding industrial concerns is largely a matter of conjecture as only a very few companies give out information except at the time their annual report is published, while progress reports from the various mining companies are in many instances issued a number of times during the year. The third reason for the preponderance of mining items is the fact that the industry has, during the past decade, developed into one of the Dominion', most important assets and leading financiers, business men and government officials have openly declared that the industry has been the largest single factor in aiding business recovery and it has helped in maintaining a sound credit position for the Dominion, proportionately equal to that of the leading nations of the world. In addition the mining industry provides employment. for ran- workers than any other single class of industry with the possible exception of mmmg.-- f'inr'ly. but not the least important, is the fact that boom conditions existing in the ihddttry‘ have resulted in the placing of large orders for electrical and mechanical equipment, chemicals, explosives and other mining necessities which in turn has lead to manufacturers increasing their staff; car loadings have increased. and the industry has also provided new outlets for agricultural products. Over one hundred million dollars were paid in wages and salaries in 1933 by mining companies and the writer is of the opinion that almost every com. munity in this fair Dominion of ours has benefited in some way from the activities of the industry. It has also been responsible for the influx of millions of dollars from the United States, Great Britain and other coun. tries. These reasons. in the opinion of the writer, are sufficient to warrant preponderance of mining gossip in this column. Distillers Corn-Sequin- Ltd. Readers of this column may wonder why a substantial proportion of it relates to the mining industry and mining companies. There are several reasons why the writer has largely confined himself to this phase of financial matters not the least of which is the fact that a very substantial percentage of Ontario', population is interesed either directly in the mining industry or ihdirectly through their holdings of the shares of minine comnanim FINANCIAL, THE REASON WHY! 2%52‘11’5 Trenching on the number two vein for . length of several hundred feet chow- the vein to hue . width of About lumen feet.
