In North Simcoe practically all the corn was very badly frozen. Potato tops were also •frozen off, as well as most garden and vegetable crops. The result will ibe a light yield of potatoes. Buck- ■wheat also suffered considerable damage.

It was felt that the Royal could add something like a new service to the "higher education” in agriculture which has been a feature of its aim for the past 15 years, and is moti­ vated by the desire that the vital relationship of "Youth in Agricul­ ture” should be realized by the Canadian public—in other words, that the. claims and aspirations of youth should be set forth by the '■voice of youth” itself. The Royal plan is being co-ordinated with ad­ mirable work being done perma­ nently by the Canadian Council on Boys’ and Girls’ Club Work.

The explanation, we think, large­ ly lies in the fact that Quebec in the past has been financed by Cana­ dian capital, and in particular by Quebec capital, safeguards of customs better live there, and things more highly. has been needed Quebec itself has provided the money. Her issues o! public securities have not been fre­ quent, and while many Quebec bonds have gone to London the great bul'k is held in the province. Quebec provincial bonds are close­ ly held, and they command a price as high as or higher than similiar securities issued by the Dominion Government. H. C. Monk and Com­ pany report, for example, that for 4 1-2 percent. Quebec bonds due in 1956 a price of 114 1-2 is bid, with no offers. At the same time Dom­ inion bonds of the same yield and the same maturity are selling at 112 to 113. This is proof of Quebec’s high standing in the money markets, but at the same time offers some ex­ planation of the fact that British capial has had comparatively little to ro with her financing. If Quebec had flooded the market with bond issues over the years, with periodi­ cal flotations in London, Quebec would be better known in London but her debentures might not com­ mand so high a price. Furthermore, Mr. Duplessis, will not fail to just at this minion as prestige in evitable result of the policy of some parts of this country in the matter of their obligations to investors. Capital seeking investments de­ mands security above everything else. British financiers have not failed to note certain events which raise some doubt in theii* minds as to the safety of their money in this country. iMr. A'berhart in Alberta has cut the interest rates on gov­ ernment securities and interfered with private debts. In Ontario Mr. Hepburn’s business with the Hydro contracts was disturbing. Scores of Canadian municipalities have de­ faulted on their bond interest. Mr. McGreer, of Vancouver, kept the wires busy for weeks with talk of bankruptcy and default—that was_ before Vancouver launched its pub­ licity drive for its jubilee celebra­ tion. Even from Quebec’s own Montreal has come talk of an arbi­ trary cut in bond interest rates and other disturbing information.

CEATWORTHY GRANTON PHONE 12 A tree will grow from 5 in diameter in a much shorter per­ iod than it takes one to grow from a seedling to a tree 5 inches in dia­ meter. If it required the same number of years, it means according to the table that a- tree puts on six times the volume of wood growth when .growing from 5-10 inches aa it does from a seedling to a tree 5 inches in diameter. It is much better financial pro­ position to have an income from a property every year or periods 20 years rather than every years as in the case when the is cut clean. Another vital reason why should not be clean cut is that the land is liable to be cleared and the people are realizing more every year that too much land is already clear­ ed. The farmer often pastures a clean cut wood in order to secure revenue from the land. The stock browse the young trees. If the land is sandy, shallow, swamp or is on a steep hillside it will be found in the swamp, waste or barren class­ ification rather than the woodland classification. A much better method ing woodland is to follow tion system. This may be mum diameter limit or the trees that are to be removed may be .fnarked by blazing or daubing them with paint. This is much to be pre­ ferred to a minimum diameter limit, as there are many trees under1 th® diameter limit that should be cut and others above that should be left, as they are healthy and are at the stage, when they are putting on the maximum and also more valuable wood growth. Canada’s first complete semi­ streamlined air-conditioned train, built for the Railway, now four units in the Dominion, on inspection points across the country and has aroused, high praise and enthu­ siasm on the part of the hundreds of thousands of Canadians who have seen it. In Montreal alone 60,000 spectators went through it ■ In, the fpur days it was on inspec­ tion at the Windsor station and the same interest was displayed everywhere else. These units will be in operation between Tor­ onto and Detroit, Montreal and Quebec, and Edmonton and Cal­ gary. , Prime Minister Mackenzie King and other delegates to the League of Nations Conference at Geneva sailed from Quebec in September in the Canadian Pacific flagship Empress of Britain.
