ABOUT RELIEF
The effort on the part of the gov
ernment to* put the jobless to work
is worthy of special mention. These
works, however, do not begin to
create sufficient jobs for all those
who require them.
The cost of relief is so great that
it should cause the powers that be to
keep on trying to find a solution to
this vexed question. Municipalities,
Provincial and Federal Governments
all find the continual
coffers tremendous.
Over the week-end
with an official of
where the relief problem costs them
about three mills. They have in that
city fewer on relief but the cost is
greater.
So long as we have to spend mon
ey on relief, and it seems now a
permanent thing, more effort should
be made to get some returns for the
money expended. Reforestation will
bring results in the future and in
time add great wealth to our coun
try. If this work was carried on ex
tensively many could be put to use
ful work. Our streams in many plac
es are drying up and the planting of
trees on the banks of streams and
low lands would not only beautify
our coiintry but aid in preserving
these streams.
Here, we feel the cost of relief is
high, but compared with other places
we are very fortunate. Men in most
cases are anxious to earn a living
and it now appears that the govern
ment will have to set up some perma
nent plan for looking after them.

SWEEPSTAKES
Tickets on the Irish Hospital
Sweepstakes to the value of $2,500,000
were seized recently in New York.
These tickets were for distribution
throughout other cities and towns.
The sale of sweepstake tickets in Can
ada has been so general in this last
few years that any person who desir
es one has no trouble
same.
Recently we read an
Reader’s Digest and it
ed to estimate the amount of money
invested or spent in this manner. The
figures read like the capitalization of
a large insurance company. The fact
that this business is illegal does not
appear to stamp it out. The public
apparently are anxious to gamble in
large figures in this form.
The only way that these schemes
can be stopped is the seizure of the
tickets as it is plainly evident the
public are for taking a chance.
There are many who favour legal
izing sweepstakes in Canada. If this
were done even a greater amount of
money would be expended this way.
The fact remains, however, that many
thousands, even millions, are spent
in Canada each year on what is hop
ed will be lucky tickets,

of Jews who came and went in and
about the temple, and. who had seen
this man sitting helpless at the gate,
‘‘perhaps for years, and who now re
cognized him “walking, and leaping,
and praising God,” were astounded.
It was a sermon in action, and it
struck home.
A great crowd gathered. Peter was
given another great opportunity. And
in the power of the Holy Spirit he
used his opportunity.
The Apostles, after the resurrection
and the coming of the Holy Spirit in
to their lives, never tried to win favor
by glossing over .sin, and tactfully
praising their audiences. Peter, like
Paul later, struck straight from the
shoulder. He told the amazed and
listening Jews something that must
have stabbed them to the heart. Here
is part of his sermon:
"The God of Abraham and of Isaac,
and of Jacob, the God of our fathers,
hath glorified His Son Jesus; whom
ye delivered up, and denied Him in
the presence of Pilate, when he was
determined to let Him go. But ye de
nied the Holy One and the Just, and
desired a murdered to be granted un
to you; and killed the Prince of life,
whom God hath raised from the dead;
whereof we are witnesses. And His
name through faith in His name hath
made this man strong, whom ye see
and know.”
But Peter did not leave them there.
He said he knew that they and their
rulers had crucified Christ through
ignorance, and that if they would
now repent and turn to Christ their
sins would be blotted out.
But the sermon was interrupted.
While the Jewish people were listen
ing the priests and the a Sadducees
came, and the captain of the temple,
and were “sorely troubled that they
taught the people, and preached
through Jesus the resurrection from
the dead.”
Promptly the priests arrested the
apostles and threw them into prison.
But the number of Jewish believers
had now increased from three thous
and to five thousand men.
7 he next day Peter and John were
brought before the high priest and
the Council—the same men who had
tried and crucified. Christ. The apos
tles were asked: “By what power, or
by what name, have ye done this?”
Peter answered without evasion or
fear: “Be it known unto you all, and
to all the people of Israel, that by
the name of Jesus'Christ of Nazareth,
whom ye crucified, whom God raised
from the dead, even by Him doth this
man stand here before you whole.
This is the stone which was set at
nought of'you builders, which is be
come the head of the corner. Neither
is there salvation in any other: for
there is none other name under hea
ven given among men, whereby we
must be saved.”
The Jewish council were in a diffi
cult place; they did not know what
to do or what to say. For there was
the healed man, whom every one
knew, standing with the apostles!
They dared not punish the disciples
■—yet they simply “commanded them
not to speak at all
name of Jesus.”
Did that end the
Petef and John,
According to the annual report on
farm values fotf 1935, there were 2,-
931,337 horses in Canada during that
year; 3,849,200 milch cows; 4,971,400
other cattle:—total cattle, 8,820,600;
sheep, 3,399,100; and swine 3,549,200.
Although the number of animals was
less than in 1934, the value was con
siderably greater, showing an increase
of 18 per cent., or a total of $75,-
489,000.
The average values per head of’live
stock in Canada in 1935 were estim
ated as follows, (with the 1934 values
in brackets): horses $65 (57); milch
cows, x $35 ($29); other cattle, $22
($17); sheep $5.02 ($4.18); swine $11.-
77 ($9.86). The average value of un
washed wool per pound was estimated
at 12 cents as compared with 10 cents
in 1934.
Wheat Crops
Winter wheat is one of the best
cash crops and a reliable source of
straw. Ontario farmers have in the
past grown as much as 1,000,000 ac
res of this crop annually. The area
devoted to winter wheat in 1935 was
555,100 as compared with 425,600 ac
res in 1934. Production amounted to
12,601,000 bushels as compared with
6,724,000 in 1934, when the crop was
badly winter-killed. The 1935 price
was 71 cents as compared with 77c
in 1934.
Dry weather during the summer of
1935 and pressure of work in harvest
ing a large crop of spring grain re
sulted in less fall wlieat being, sown.
The acreage seeded does not exceed
70% of that sown in the fall of 1934.
Excellent weather conditions, howev
er, have resulted in better crop pros
pects.
There is no carry-over of winter
wheat. That of lower grade is fed to
livestock and there is a good demand
of high quality for the manufacture
of pastry flour and cereal products.
Considering wheat as a cash crop as
one which affords an opportunity for
weed control and division of labor,
the acreage next year should reach
at least normal levels in the fall wheat
areas.
Spring wheat yields are much lower
than those of winter wheat. The 1935
crop of 98,800 acres produced 1,857,-
00 bushels. The greatest production
is in the northern and eastern coun
ties.
ued at $12,452,100. The average value
per barrel of the 1935 crop is placed
at $2,89 compared with $2,15 in 1934
and $2.24 for the five-year average.
Strawberries held second place
amongst Canadian fruits in total value
of production and. the 1935 crop of
26,199,000 quarts, valued at $2,249,-
000 was well above the five-year av
erage of 19,435,600 quarts, worth $1,-
785,900.
Peaches and grape’s which in past
years have been amongst the leaders
slipped down the scale in 1935 owing
to the lower average value per unit.
Third place is occupied by the rasp
berry crop which reports a total value
of $903,500 for 1935 as compared with
$824,300, for 1934 and the five-year
average of $835,800.
British Columbia apples made the
largest single contribution to the
gross value of the 1935 crop of fruit.
Nova Scotia with a somewhat larger
production but a lower value per bar
rel was a good second while Ontario’s
apple crop valued at slightly less than
$2,000,000 was the only other item
which passed the million dollar mark.
Quebec apples yielded the highest re
turns to growers with an average val
ue of four dollars per barrel.
Production of pears is confined
chiefly to Ontario and British Colum
bia and these two provinces produce
most of the plums, peaches and cher
ries. Ontario accounts for practically
all the grapes while British Columbia,
Ontario and Quebec together grow
the great bulk of the strawberries and
raspberries.

Weeds in Cereal and Grass Seeds
With reference to weed classifica
tion and seed grades under the Seeds
Act, weeds are classified into three
groups according to the seriousness
of their character. The first group
consists of primary noxious weeds,
the nine members of which are couch
grass, bladder, campion, dodder, field
bindweed, Johnsop grass, ox-eye
daisy, perennial sow thistle, white
cockle and wild mustard. The second
group is known as the secondary nox
ious, which includes ball mustard, blue
weed, Canada thistle, chicory, field
peppergrass,
docks,
hare’s
catch-fly,
(common, great and perennial), rib
grass, Russian thistle, stikeweed, stink
weed, tumbling mustard, wild carrot,
wild oats and wild radish. The third
group' contains a long list of lesser
weeds such as catsnip, lamb’s quart
ers, cinque foil, etc.
No seeds of group one, primary
noxious weeds, are allowed in grades
No. 1 and Nd. 2 for seeds of cereals
and other field crops, but allowance
is made in grade 3 of cereal and field
crop seeds for five primary noxious
weeds, or 15 primeary and secondary
weed seeds combined, 100 weed seeds
of all kinds and 300 seeds of other
cultivated plants per pound.
No. 1 grade for seed of clovers and
grasses allows no seeds of primary
noxious weeds. No. 2 grade allows
five primary noxious weed seeds per
ounce or 20 primary and secondary
weed seeds combined per ounce, while
No. 3 grade allows 25 primary nox
ious weed seeds, or 80 primary and
secondary noxious weed seeds com-

1934 and $15,412,000 for the five-year

crop last year than in any year since
1929.

HERE'S CORRECT AN
SWER TO QUERY
In order to provide borrowing fac
ilities for all classes of employed peo
ple The Canadian Bank of Commerce
announces the establishment of a per
sonal loan service at its branches. A
special department has been opened
for the purpose of making loans to
wage-earners and salaried and pro
fessional men and women.
The plan is in brief, that any resi
dent who is steadily employed and is
a good credit risk may apply. The
only security required is:
' (1) that the borrower must be of
good character,
(2) that he be steadily employed,
(3) that he obtain the signatures of
two other responsible persons to
become guarantors, who are of
good character and have satisfac
tory earning power.
The loans range from $60 up in
multiples of $12 and run for a period
of a year. To assist the borrower in
accumulating the total of the loan
from his monthly income he arranges
to make twelve equal monthly depos
its in a Savings account so that the
balance of the Savings account at the
end of the period will be sufficient to
pay off the loan. On this Savings ac
count interest at the current rate is
allowed. Life insurance placed by the
Bank on behalf of the borrower pro
tects the estate of the latter and the
guarantors in the event of his death.
The cost of this insurance is 50c per
$100 and is paid from the accrued in
terest on the Savings balances.
The loans are discounted at the
rate of 6 per cent. A service charge
of a minimum of 50c and a maximum
of $3 is made, depending on the am
ount of the loan. An example of the
cost of the service to the borrower
is as follows:

The Bank emphasizes that it in no
way desires to encourage people to
assume unnecessary or burdensome
debts, but it does feel that if and
when the need to borrow arises
through unforseen emergencies, par
ticularly in the case of sickness, dent
al bills, putting in the winter’s supply
of coal, making necessary repairs to
and improvements in the home, and
other similar needs ,it can be of real
assistance by lending at low rates and
on a reasonable budget plan of repay
ment. There is an additional advant
age to this plan is that after a suf
ficient sum has been accumulated in
the. Savings account to repay the ad
vance the borrower will have acquir
ed the habit of making regular de
posits, thus building up a fund to take
care of special needs in future.
