The Fathers ordered things so that we might choose between independence and British connection. They never dr&amed we could have both, to-day we are British and our masters. The independence the of 1867 feared w© might, one covet and the British connection they hoped we might maintain are both ours. Canada has achieved the im possible. Canada is a nation and an experi ment and an achievement. And she is something more. She is an inspira tion. When the Fathers built up the 147 sections of the British North America Act, sixty years ago, they laid the foundations of the first federa tion within the British Empire. Never before had the federal principle and the British Constitution been linked together and there was some doubt as to whether they would work in union. But Canadians have made them work, and now the two machines run as one. Not only that, but a num- 1 her of other British Dominions have j borrowed tho idea, and tho Canadian achievement has become the inspira- I tlon of tho British family of nations. !

Z-In a paper contributed to Forbes Maga zine (N.Y.)-, Dr. Robert Stewart, dean of the College of Agriculture of tho University of Nevada, points out that some types of farming are in serious difficulty because of surplus produc-. tlon, and, as a result industry every where is being affected by the reduced buying power of the farmer. He writes: “There is no known practical way of limiting production in farming, as is the case In other lines of industry whenever a surplus threatens to lower the price, of tho product or glut the market. “What is urgently needed is'the de velopment of new uses other than food for the products of the farms. One interesting development of the past two or three years is the creation of a new industry based upon the in dustrial utilization of wheat and oat straw, once a burden to many farms.* George H. Harrison, of Minnesota, Is ' the pioneer in this development. After ■numerous experiments, Mr. Harrison has perfected a small plant for the de structive distillation of a mixture of oat and wheat straw whereby the im portant products in the gas and oil are saved. He claims that one ton of this straw mixture on distillation produces 1,600 pounds of new, useful chemical products worth at least $250!” One product now obtained. frpm waste farm material is furfurol, wlrioh prior to 1922 was only a laboratory curiosity. Says Dean Stewart: “Strenous efforts would have been necessary to secure more than a few pounds of this substance, and then only at exorbitant prices of $6.50 to $30 per pound. Prior to January, 1922, furfurol could be obtained only in a few-pound lots in a glass con tainer, even at the high price quoted. In 1926 tho low price of 15 cents per pound was based oil 50 to 60-thousand- pound lots in tank cars! This brief price history indicates the marked de velopment of this farm product iu the brief Bpace for four years. “Furfurol is penetrates wood with ease. Iff* the presence of ens and minifies. It septic similar in nature acid, as a germicide and fungicide in the dressing of wounds of valuable trees. It is also used as a substance to flavor tobacco. Owing to its solvent action, high power of penetration and low toxicity it is used as a solvent for shoe leather, dyes and leather dressings. It is an excellent solvent for nitro cellulose, and may find abundant uso in the lacquer Industry. “Being an aldehyde, ift is readily converted into numerous ather chemi cal compounds'having great value and use in/industry, such as tlw produc tion of perfumes, solvents and ac celerators in tho production of types of rubber goods. Some of its deriva tives are of value in the treatment of certain kinds of need so as to prevent fungus growths.
