Besides his widow, one daughter, Mrs. Harold' Campbell, • also of Mitchell, survives, Mrs, Dittmar and Mrs. Louis Gard- ner of Mitchell are sisters; PRAIRIE TREE • PLANTrtTION. Work of Dominion Nursery atIndian Head. Has the expenditure of public money on establishing the Dominion Government tree nursery at Indian Head paid? From 1901 to 1923, more than 70,000,000 seedlings and cuttings have been grown and distributed free to prairie province farmers. And what of the results? Leaving aside for the moment any question of indirect benefit, and con- sidering only the direct financial fea- ture, it is found that, as a result of this distribution, there are now, at a very conservative estimate, at least 40,000 well cultivated shelter -belts. Inquiry has been made from time to time, by the Tree Planting Division, as to the value a farmer places on lois shelter -belt, and hundreds of letters received la reply give valuations of from $500 to $5,000. The very great majority of planters value their belts at around $1,000, In many cases there is no question that his valua- tion is not exaggerated, but to, be conservative an average value's; :of $300 may be taken as being -well within reason. At this figure the 40,000 plantationa would represent a total of $12,000,000. This is at least $11,200,000 in excess of the total cost of operating the Tree - Planting Division since it was first organized in 1901. Standard Time. The nieridan division of Standard time so far as Canada is considered, are the 60th, which runs across the Gulf of St. Lawrence from Cap Whit- tle on the north shore passing across tile extreme eastern part of , Cape Breton, The next divisional meridian is the 75th, which runs across Can- ada a little east of Ottawa, The next divisional ma vidian is the 90th, which crosses Canada, a little west of Port Arthur, The next divisional meri- dian is the 1.05th, white crosses Can- ada a little west of Regina, Sc.ss. .The next is° the 120th, Shiers runs across the Great Bear Lake in the Far North and across British Colum- bia a little east of Kamloops. To be exact there is another divisional meridian in Can; u., the 315th, which • touches the ncrtheru shores. of the continent near the mouth of the Mac- kenzi a river, au 1 rains •southward across the Yukon. In practice the ersact meridian line is not observed but for general con- venience the railways change their time at the end of their track divi- sions, none of which exactly carre- apond to the geographical standards or belts 15 degrees wide, counting from Greenwich, England, St. John, N.B. and the eastern part or the Province, and, of course Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are in At- lantic Standard or have Atlantic time. The Eastern Standard extends from St. John, N.B., to Fort William, Ont. • Nova Scotia Apples. Nova Scotia probably grows more apples per acre of cultivated ground and per acre of orchard than any other province in the Dominion, For. five years in succession she has had immense crops. "This year Nova Scotia is market- ing one and one-half million barrels of apples," says Hon. E. H. Arm- strong, 'Premier of the Province. "But it is noteworthy," he continues, "that not more than 25 per cent.' of the land in Nava Scotia available for. apple growing has been set out 1n trees. The fruit growing regions of the province, are capable of produc- ing enough merchantable apples to give a carton of four to every man, woman and child on the face of the globe." . Perhaps it is the great area• still unplanted that most impresses a vis- itor on his first trip to the apple val- leys of Nova 'Scotia. But there are miles and miles of apples trees and last.autiunn':they were literally load ,ed to the, ground :�i' t „ tipples, 1 .Ye1=' ;Low apples, green spples,''gri-eoTored 'tipples and all shades' of»red apples were hanging• fron' t e..r ,fp��.hh ga o., 'thin linlittyt. ,ere 1 vii e?7aii�lt ` Abne'. another4.

K. C. I1iidtinter,,•a°'gen- eral manager of, railways, and steam-„ ers,' Soudan, Africa, has accepted a Mender fro a British Columbia firm! lt'or 150,000 railway ties of Douglas iir. The contract expressly stapu- jlates that the railway ties shall be of Canadian origin. British Columbia's shipment ' of water -borne lumber to overseas mar- 'kete totalled 521,707,132 board feet' Mast year, against 273446,800 in 1922, an increase of 94, per oent. This announcementvies recently made by the provincial minister of lands and it is a remarkable index of the rapid expansion of the lumber= industry in British Columbia. Under a scheme inaugurated by, the Provincial Government it is an-, nounced that British Columbia will advance loans up to $000 a family, to settlers from the t'tebrides, on: condition that the Brutish Govern, merit advance a like amount. jtt view of the present depression int the islands, it is expected that the:, British. Government will co-operate.; Keen interest in all ,Canadian manufactories avd especially in mineral products, wood pulp, text-' iles, leather and rubber goads, heavy,, machinery and farm machinery is - now manifested by France and Be1-7 glum, according to H. E. Tessier ofa Montreal, who recently accompanied an exhibit of these manufactories on a tour through every, important, city in these countries. Mr. Tessier believes that the tour will bring; great practical benefit to Canada as' soon as French currency beoomes more stable. The exterior of the great Cana- dian pavilion at Wembley has now been completed, and the interior decorat'brs are busily finishing the building, according to H. E. Tessier, who has just returned to Canada abroad the Canadian Pacific liner• Montclare. The exhibits are being rapidly assembled and' ,everything points to Canada's display being ready in time for the opening of the British Empire Exhibition. That Canada's culture `has noth- ing to fear from the promised flow of immigration from continental Europe was the message recently delivered by J. Murray Gibbon, Canadian author and litterateur, in an address on " Canadiaaa Literature and the Foreignaborn" gisnan iu Mont- real recently. Of all the Scandina- vian races contributing to the Cana- dian population, Mr. Gair.on consid- ers the Icelanders to have the high- est literary mentality. More than 13,000,000 bushels of grain have been received at the Government elevator at Vancouver, B.C., from Canadian Pacific Railway cars since the opening of the crop year, according to a report lasted by railway officials. Exported from Vancouver in the same period there have been 20,416,534 bushels, com- prising 15,488,348 bushels- to the United Kingdom, 4,630,105 to the Orient and 338,183 bushels to South America. The aggregate value of all field crops in Canada in 1923, was $891,- 755,200, .according to a report of the Bureau of Statisti- s. a decrease of $70,538,000 from 1922, caused mainly by the lower prices anolicab,e practically to every crop. This sum was made up of the fo..., Hing bonier wheat, $316,606,700; oars, $17'7,704,- 400; barley, $32,055,700; rye, $11,- 246,900; hay and clover 2162,882,- 000; mixed grains, $17,654,800; po- tatoes, $57,076,800 turnips, etc., $22,650,100; corn, husking, $12,465,- 000. A golden wedding, celebrated by Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Williams, of Regina, Saskatchewan, was one of the novelties enjoyed by the passen- gers on board the Canadian Pacific "Empress of Britain" when the ship was at Barbados during the West Indies cruise. "Here Comes the Bride" was played by the ship's orchestra, and a huge wedding cake -was baked, adorned with 50 candles and presented to the happy couple at a surprise party, is whish even the crew joined. Earl Bridges, 17 -year-old musher, from Le Pas, Manitoba, won . the Eastern International Dog Sled Derby at Quebec, receiving the gold cup and $1000 awarded Sr the team first past the winning post. The race, was run on three successive days;.: February 21, 28 and 23, : in daily laps of 40 Hailes, under ex- tremely trying conditions due to the heavy snowfall on February 20, which was the . worst Quebec has known for -half a century;;; • Bridges, who won..thie Le Pas, Dog,$ied Der- by, .also captured a silversup award- ed far the best -matched team of dogs in the Quebec rase. aThere were 15 starters.
