Even in the most frvitful parts its quality now often falls below the standard usuâ€" ally accepted for agricultural purposâ€" es in such progressive countries as the United States of America. _ And this fact is more intimately connected with the question of moisture than with any other factor. South Africa, people say, is drying up. The rainfall is the same, but the water is not disâ€" tributed and stored in the way which Nature originally arranged for itself. There used to be a balance between the rainfall and the amount and charâ€" acter of the vegetation. That balance has been disturbed by man. He brought his flocks and herds and seed. And with the destruction of trees and bushes, with the grassâ€"burnâ€" ing and overâ€"grazing and with the trampling of animals, the havoe was gradually worked and the country now stands in the presence of a grave naâ€" tional danger. â€" Cape Argus.

But in that dark and illiterate age not one of the Duke‘s doctors, the best in Europe, knew how to perform such a hazardous operation.

Cost of Monarchy CANADA THE EMPIRE Dr. Waliace says this rigorous methâ€" od of treatment has been thoroughly tested in more than 300 cases. The imâ€" pression of physicians and nurses atâ€" tached to the ward, he writes, is that exposure to a moving current of cold air is the means of saving lives of the children of all ages afflicted with an acute, primary form of the disease. It brings comfort to the patient, aids appetite and helps to render unnecâ€" cessary other forms of treatments which might prove exhausting to a young child. "This is carried out irrespective of the season of the year or of the weaâ€" ther conditions, with one exception of fog, each child being placed on the windward side of the ward beside a widely opened window so that the cold air without plays directly on the face of the child." An essential precaution it is pointâ€" ed out, is that the patient should be warmly clad to prevent chilling, the face being the only part of the body exposed to the air. All cases of pneuâ€" monia are thus treated, both day and night, until the temperature falls and remains at a normal level. ; ‘During recent years it has been the practise in one of the wards of the hospital to submit every case of pnenâ€" moni~s on admission to an intensive openâ€"air regime. LONDON, ENG., â€" Lives of hunâ€" dreds of children suffering from acâ€" ute primary pneumonia are reported to have been saved by a novel cold air treatment introduced by Dr. H. L. Wallace of the Royal Edinburgh Hosâ€" pital for Sick Children. Writing in the current issue of the British Moedical Journal, Dr. Wallace says : At St. Catharines, McKinnon Indusâ€" tries, subsidiary of General Motors, reported advice from the parent compâ€" any at Oshawa, "to hold up work on material supplies for their use except on spocial service parts." From Windsor comes word that curâ€" tailed production in the General Moâ€" tors plant there may affect 1,000 worâ€" kers. Five hundred were forced to also leave when the main plant at Oshâ€" awa closed down, as there was no outâ€" let for motors manufactured at the Windsor branch. With the further curâ€" tailed production of parts, 400 more men may lose their jobs. _ Some 300 may also be laid off at the Walker Motal Products plant, where iron castâ€" ings are made for General Motors cars, and eighteen have already been la@d off at the Kelsey Wheel factory.

These inquiries give every indication that our tourist in dustry in 1937 is to be much larger than a year ago. "The Canadian Travel Bureau has received 26,896 inquiries since the first of the years," said Mr. Howe, "an increase of 93 per cent over the numâ€" Coupled with the Minister‘s foreâ€" cast was a reiteration of his advice given a year ago to all agencies assoâ€" ciated with or catering to tourist traâ€" vel to exercise courtesy and fair dealâ€" ing in their treatment of the visitors. Sees New High In Tourist Trade OTTAWA, â€" An allâ€"time tourist traffic for Canada in 1937 was forecast this week by Transport Minister Mr. Howe. He based his expectation on the number of inquiriecs received by the Canadian Travel Bureau and the generally improved business condiâ€" tions in United States. A check at Chatham revoaled that no factory there was affected by the Oshawa strike. The Ontario Steel Products and Chatham Malleable and Steel Works are carrying on producâ€" tion on a normal scale. Car dealers report they will be withâ€" out new machines if the strike is proâ€" longed, and this might result in reducâ€" tion in sales staff. Hamilton industrial concerns which received more than $1,000,000 worth of business from General Motors last year, have suspended work on large orders from General Motors, because of present labor trouble at Oshawa, but local workimen are not expected to lose their jobs as a result. Orders from other sources will enable the forms to continue peak production, it was roported today. Steel Company, Union Drawn Steel, Burlington Steel, Canadian Drawn Steel, Firestone Tire, Westinghouse, Unitedâ€"Carr Fastener and other companies have been given orders from Oshawa. tailment of hours affecting 600 emâ€" ployees would have to me made. The hours would not be cut drastically, however, because a number of untfilâ€" led orders for other plants would help in maintaining employment. John Conroy, of the Conroy Manuâ€" facturing Company, at St. Catharines, said between 35 and 45 men would be laid off at his plant because producâ€" tion had been lowered 70 per cent as a result of the General Motors strike. At Hamilton Officials of the Thompson Products and Hayes Steel at Hamilton said that efforts were being made to rearrange production to keep men at work.

A topic on which Mr. Syrett is quite fluent. It is interesting to note that in the year 1934, before the trade agreement was in operation, Canada sold only 6,341 head of cattle in the United States and only 226 calves, Those in close touch with market conditions will not be surprised if well onto 200,â€" 000 hoad are exported to the United States this year, as 50,000 head were shipped across the border during the fi.st quarter. These were chicfly aniâ€" mals which had been stallfed in Ontâ€" arin or fattened on feed lots in the West. Ontario supplied some 15,000 head of the shipments to the United States thus far this year. The trade agreement which went into effect a year ago last January provided for a reduction in the Ameriâ€" can Customs tariff on Canadian cattle from three to two cents per pound and for a quota of 155,000. As a matter of fact, however, Canada actually sold 191,000 head of cattle and 50,541 calves in the United States last year, or about 36,000 cattle in excess of the quota. Bigger Profit Made Some of these animals were pure bred stock and beef cattle of weights not covered by the quota. It is estimâ€" ated that for every good steer the Caâ€" nadian farmer got $10 more in the United States than he would have gotâ€" ten but for the reciprocity pact, But what particularly pleases cattle men in Ontario and Western Canada is the steady demand for Canadian cattle in the markets of the United States, Already this year more than 50,000 head have been marketed all across the line at profitable prices. Thanks to the Canadianâ€"United States trade agreement, efficient Canadian stock feeders have made as much as $25 and $30 a head profit on choice beef cattle, sold for consumption in the United States. 50,000 Cattle Shipped to U. S. A. OTTAWA, â€" Canadian cattlemen, with several hundred million dollars invested in the becofâ€"raising industry, are now more jubiliant abourt prosâ€" pects for a profitable year than they were a couple of months azo when a miliion head of range cattle in the Prairie Provinces were eaid to be threatened with starvation by reason of the severity of the winter and the serious shortage of feed. No Excessive Loss Senator Daniel Riley, President of the Woestern Stockmen‘s Association and rogarded as an authority in the cattle industry, has now been advised that the losses, sustained by Western ranchers, due to pastures having been "wried for weeks under several feot of snow, have not been excessive. And some time ago it was feared thous ands of head of cattle out on the ranz es would perish because the customâ€" ary chinooks had not been as frequent as usval.

The Premier said negotWtions beâ€" tween the Province and the Federal Government over a joint works proâ€" gram had been completed with the decision to spend $1,700,000 mainly on road construction. In addition, he said a $3,000,000 loan obtazined by the Proâ€" vince in the East would be spent to improve roads wherever necessary. A few patients became terrified but their fears were set at rest by courâ€" Ageous nurses, No material damages resulied from the blaze and gmoke damage was largely confined to the nurses‘ quarters on the top floor. ed a minor flurry of panic among the dozen patients in the institution when smoke siarted eddying through the corridors.

R. V. Conover, _ Last year, receipts of the port amounted to $57,248.92 in duty. $154,992.29 in saies tax and $38.04 in sundries. Duty paid George Lossing, of Port Rowan, got tired of living alone, and advertised for a wife. His chief problem now is which one to choose. in the preceding fiscal year of the port was $77,304.47, but sales tax was only $122,520, giving a net increase in collections of $12,416.56.

Figures from the single men‘s relief office showed a decrease of nearly 1,000 in those obtaining assistance. At the end of March, 7,547 jobs had been found for unemployed men compared with 6,680 in the first quarter of 1936. Against Recruiting Women For Drove At 80 M.P.H.

Another method is the box system with books sent perlodically to each seltlement, from depots situated at strategic points. "Ninetytwo per cent of the people in the rural areas of New Brunswick have no libraries at all, according to the findings of the Dominion Bureau of statistics." Dr, Corbett told memâ€" bers of the New Brunswick legislaâ€" ture. Me indiceated there was a good chance of the province obtaining finâ€" anclal assistance from the Carnopie Corporation for a rural library service, Premier Dysart gave assurance that New Brunswick would do all possible to take advantaze of any such oppor tunity, For farm bulidings a disinfectant whitewash may be desired, Here is a recipe recommended by the Dominion Experimental Station at Scott, Saskâ€" atchewan. First, 50 pounds of lime are dissolved in eight gawons of boiling water, To this is added six gallons of hot water which has ten pounds of salt and one pound of alum dissolved in it. A can of lye is added to every 25 gallons of mixture. A pound of ceâ€" ment to every three gallons is gradâ€" ually added and thoroughly stirred. ‘The object of using the alum is to prevent the lime from rubbing of. Coâ€" ment makes a more creamy mixture so that it is easier to app‘y and the larger surface is covered. Lye is adâ€" ded for disinfecting purposes, but a quart of creosol disinfectant to every eight gallors would serve the same purpose,. Iye is preforred when the color is to be kept white. One â€" library system _ considercd would involve use of huge book laden vans traveiling on regular circuits and making regular stops. This was said to have worked well in British Columâ€" bia, with thousands of farmers taking advantage of the service, Touch of Whitewash Brightens Up Farm FREDERICTON, N.B., â€"â€" Plans to make library service equivalent to that in cities available at every farâ€" mer‘s doorstep have been considered here by Dr, Fletcher Peacock, director of educational services for New Brunsâ€" wick, and Dr, E. A. Corbett, director for Adult Education. for outdoor work which will prevent a newly whitewashed barn from Jookâ€" ing a picture of desolation after a downpour. It is made up in the followâ€" ing proportions; slake 62 pounds of quicklime in 12 gallons of hot water, and add? two pounds of salt and one pound of sulphate of zinc dissolved in two gallons of skimâ€"milk. An ounce of alum, though not essontial improves the wash. Sait should be omitted if the whitewash is required for moetal surfaces which rust. Waterproof ard Disinfectant Soâ€" lutions Available In the spring the farmer‘s fancy may rightly turn to thoughts of whiteâ€" wash, for, after the long winter the barns, the creamery, and home fences look much in need of being brightenâ€" ed up. Even dwellers in the city or suâ€" burbs will find that an outbuliding would be none for the worse for a spring tovcaâ€"up, And there is nothing after all better or so incxpensive as whitewash.
