It ie clear as daylight that the psy- chological moment for a country to launch .G comprehensive colonization campaign is when her agriculture has definitely entered the upward swing. • Western history and the experience of those who have bean in close touch with colonization work there, point unmistakably to the fact that failure <n the land is the greatest,obstacle to the efforts of the various agencies de- voting time and money to furthering immigration into Canada. It is also a trite saying, but in strict accordance with the truth, that the successful set- tler is our most effective colonization agent. Common sense upholds both of these. assertions. Canada can now with confidence enter the field with a vigorous effort to largely augment her producing population and with the added assurance that in no period of her history were the opportunities more favorable for getting the fullest possible value for her expenditure on that object. The time: is favorable for a great, forward looking colonization and agri- cultural development policy, because, agriculture is und,oubtedly now in the process of entering an era of greater prosperity. It is estimated that thele. is a total world area of ,1g million acres of arable lands and that it takes the products. of 23t acres to sustain agricultural prosperity to Canada for years to :come, The Elizabethan Housewife. Thomas Tosser gives the character of thegood country housewife in his "Five Hundredth Points of Goon Hus- bandry."

This list was prepared from information supplied by oonsuler officers and other representatives abroad. Recent sta- tistics of the Bureau of Navigation of the Department of Commerce placed the total number. of broadcasting sta- tions in the united States at 534. Canada follows the United States in number. of stations, with a total of 54, Australia has 24; Spain, 22; Mexico, 20; Germany, 20;. Sweden, 20; United Kingdom, 19; all of which are. owned and operated by the British Broadcasting Company,' holding a monopoly; France, 19; Cuba, 16; Brazil, 16; Finland, 12. Stations have beeu unofficially re- ported throughout Russia, which has no stations or meter lengths listed in the compilation, . but the Electrical Equipment Division states that it is doubtful whether there are stations outside Moscow, Odesso and Lenin- grad, which have been heard in ether countries. There are seventeen Rus- sian cities in which stations are be- lieved to be operating. One of the most variable Canadian export products is hay, according to the Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the. Dept. of the.. Interior. Exports of hay vary roughly between 50,000 and 500,000 tons annually, chiefly to the United States, Britain, Prance, Newfoundland- and the West Indies. In the latter islands Canadian hay has to meet competition from sugar cane leaves which are used as a fodder and sold at very low prices. Above'is a »kotogi -the tennis champion.

Like the historic boats of the Mississippi, those of the Saskat- chewan have almost disappeared, as the more speedy overland routes have encroached' on their territory. The Battle, Carrot and Torch rivers are tributaries now chiefly used in rafting logs to the mills. Another famous waterway is the ! Churchill River. Colossal fortunes in furs were transported by this route. The Athabasca brigades, paddling up the Clearwater and packing their bur- dens across the Methye, or "long" ' portage, followed this famous route to Hudson Bay. It is a decidedly .pictur- esque route. Unlike the Saskatchewan, which retains its uniformity through- out, the Churchill becomes a series of crystal lakes, nestling among hills of granite, dotted with myriads of beau- tiful islands, and connected by short stretches of river proper.
