Altogether some 18,000 acre# ata given over to the culture of grapes in Canada, pad the annual production averages 40,000,000 pounds, valued at $2,850,000, The 1020 crop has, been estimated at 88,460,000 pounds of a value of $t>820,OlflO. The vine­ yard Industry in Canada dates bacl^, at least to 1857, whan a small area was set out in vines at Queens ton. Tho grapes of Ontario were develop­ ed largely from species native ixK Eastern America, with here and there a sprinkling of European "blood.” There are now many varie­ ties, in colors of black, blue, white and red, of which the blue Concord, white Niagara and red Rogers are As fully185*pZr cenT^the cost of Tfl IWW OKlftFNfF all commodities apd services is repre- *” AWH seated by human labpi*, enjoylng^jnore or less standardised wages; it will z-x i r i i clear that the farmers’ operating and *MBg George and King Edward living costs have increased to a fan­ tastic degree since the war, while the prices for his own products have been governed by rigid economic laws wholly without reference to cost of production.

None of the Canadian grapes will dry to make raisins or currants. A large percentage of the grape crop is used for wine-making and all va­ rieties may be used for this purpose, but the Concord Is the leading wine grape. In 1925, the last year for which figures are available, the Cana­ dian wine industry used 8,911,839 pound® of domestic grapes and 65,190 pounds of imported grapes, fer­ mented wino is the major product of the wine manufacturing industry and in that year totalled 1,388,265 gal­ lons. A small amount of unferment, ed wine and some grape juice is also produced. On the average approxi­ mately one-third of the grape crop enters the commercial wine industry, while, undoubtedly, a further con­ siderable proportion. is used for home manufacturing of grape wine and grape juice, production ing: The Doctor. Now* and then an artist paints a pic­ ture so full of teuder feeling, so accur­ ate in touching the keys of deep emo­ tion, so Imoad in its appeal to experi­ ence, that the whole world takes it to its heart. Such a picture is "The Doctor," painted .thirty-five years ago by Sir Luke Fildes, who has just died, at the age of oiglity-tlnu e. The ’picture is familiar, though, re­ productions', to thousands and hun­ dreds of thousands- who never saw the original, A grave-faced, doctor, his chin resting on liis hand, and liis elbow j on his knee, sits watching a sick child’ ‘ that lies on a tumbled cot. At the hvad of the cot sits the mother, her head imwed upon hor arms, and' beside ; her stands the father, one hand rest-' lug on his Wife’® shoulder. The dress of tho parent’s and the furnishings of the room are of the simplest and poor­ est. The story that tlio picture tolls is as old as human -experience—the shadow that settles upon a household when the i life ol’ a child hangs in the balance, the struggle of hope against fear, the mutually sustaining love of husband morn au<^ wife, the responsibility and bene- I licence of medical skill. : No wonder that visitors turn away with. ’|V’th tears in their oye^l There are feeliiigS' that, are apart from time and path lecalily and above race, creed and so- 1 rial circumstance. !>\v the- weevil In his ■ tendencies of modern art are | all away from .such paintings as "The .’ Doctor.” We must have technical brli- I liance and smartness now. and emo- • lion or tho attempt to tell a story is ' decidedly-poor form.

Every cent the farmer receives i from his products is spent hi wages and other operating' expenses—in taxation, in the purchase of equip­ ment and in the further improve­ ment of his property. The farmer, even in prosperous times, is not an outside investor. This is particu­ larly the case in partly undeveloped countries like durs, It consequently Hliitbento he has not entertained on a lias done has been of an informal na­ ture quite devoid of the ceremony hitherto always associated; with, enter­ tainments given by tho heir to the English, tiirone. For example, not very long since the Firinco gave a dance at liifl country lodge at Melton Mowbray.

No ord-or of precedence was ob­ served in going in to supper.

After dinner an increase in industrial labor cost, he faces an increased operating cost all around of considerably over sixty per­ cent,, as compared with pre-war ex­ penditure. On the other hand, it is very clear that the average price he J receives on the farm for the full ; range of his products is not suf- i ficiently above the average of pre­ war times. That tho crude, directive agency of natural laws would ultimately mete out ruthless, social justice to every­ one is hardly open to doubt. That it will do so in the long run, irrespec­ tive of man-made obstacles, is equally certain. But, unfortunately, these obstacles lead to long periods of re­ adjustment involving stress, injustice and ’suffering on the part of, great classes of producers, which is the price society pays for conferring special privileges by class war or legislation. Whether in tho end it is worth while or" not I shall leave to wiser heads to determine. The fact that confronts us is that tho natural flow of production is obstructed on every, side as between nations, and within nations, as between classes. All of which add to- the increasing complexities of modern life. t • r 1 a 4»!
