DAIRY PRODUCTION
The people of Canada were gratifi-
ed to learn from a statement made by
Dr. Ruddick, Dominion Daisy Com-
ssimier, in an address to the East-
ern Ontario Dairymen's Association,
that there has been no decrease in
tlw manufacture of dairy products in
Canada. The aroneous idea that
there had been gained eonsiderable
circulation in the newspaners of the
country. This was due to the fact
that Canada had prartically ceased
for the time being to be an exporter
of butter, ehielly became the equiva-
lent of 25,000.000 pounds of butter
had been exported 118 ere:un and Milk,
reeets: months there hes Malt a
steady demand from the United
States for Canadian milk opt cream,
and this prMitable market has result -
President Cosareve, ef the Irish Free
edn the exportation of large ship-
Stete, who has agreed to visit 01 -
of these products. In 1924
tawa at the end of July.
there was a surplus of 2,1,000,000
pounds ofbutter for export, and it
was confidently expected that DRIVING LICENSE
this surplus would increase in subse-
quent years. •
It is s,!ated, however, that in 1026
Canada produced the same quantity
of butter, 178,000,000 pounds, as in.
1.924. It is ,,vident that the present
state of affairs is not altogether sat-
isfactory. It might naturally be ex-
pected that the increasing demand
for dairy products would stimulate
to a considerable degree the entire
dairy industry in Canada, so that
there would not only be large .quan-
tities of milk and cream to meet the
demands for export, but also of high
grade butter. Undoubtedly there are
splendid opportunities ahead of this
industry in the Dominion. There is
.((0 apparent decrease in the demand
from European markehs, while at
the same time there is an increasing.
demand from the United tSates. It
is probable that in time there will
be a satisfactory adjustment of pro,
daction in order to meet the chang-
ing conditions. As mixed farming
steadily increases in the Prairie Pro-
vinces, the production of daiwy-eom-
modities May he eXpected to sub-
stantially increase. The present con-
ditions indicate that the ,high tariff
imposed by the United States has
not lessened the demand for Cana-
dian dairy products.

Cape Breton is an island of che-
quered history. From the founding
of the first British settlement in 1629
to 1763 in which year it was ceded
to Great Britain by the Treaty of
Paris, Britain and Franee were strug-
gling for its possession. It is tt re -
glen of varied resources and vast
natural wealth. Agriculture mining

crease in value and importance. A
delightful climate, charming scenery
and abundant opportunities for re-
creation have combined to make it a
widely famed summertime 910Ye
ground. Each season, a growing In-
flux of tourists enjoy pleasant vaca
Honing at its waterside resorts.
In this territory of 3,120 square
miles, live approximately 125,000
people. It is 0 population composed
of a small United Empire Loyalist
element, a larger French group. a
few English, still fewer Irish, and a
rising proportion' of strains from non -
British European countries. But dom-
inating all in character, culture and

PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
Writing in the Ontario Gazette re-
cently, the lion. George S. Henry,
Minister of Public Works and High-
ways of the province, gave the peo-
ple of On...ario Hone interesting and
instructive facts in regent to the de-
partment over which he presides. In
speaking of motor transportation in
the province, he points eat that last
year there were registered no fewer
than 39, 523 motor vehielsgt, of
which 348,922 belonged to the pass-
enger class. These figures represent
an increase of 15,000 compared with
1925, and the min!. ter makes the as-
tonishing statement that probably
50,000 additional motor cars will be
owned and operated in Ontario dur-
ing 1028,
His statement in regard to the
highways also affords some import-
ant 1nI0E-nation. There are now no
fewer than 51,90 lomes of roads in
the province, of which 7708 miles
are mimes, roads, 2411 provincial
highways, v. -fel -11.870 township roads.
The. 0 all come under the administra-
lien of the department of publir high
ways and -to the building. and main-
tenance of whiedi the provinoial gov-
ernment has contributed. 01 she
2411 miles of provincial highways,
576 miles are of concrete, 01 miles of
asphalt, 28 miles of penetration, 433
miles of macadam, and 903 miles of
gravel. As time- goes on the predict-
ion is made that the percentage of
macadam and gravel roads will be de -
smeared and permanent surfaces sub-
stituted. The province expended
the large sum of $16,302,530, of
whtch Ole Provincial Government
paid $9,080,129, 01 this amount
$5,430,515 was paid for provincial
highways, $2,87S,724 for county
roads, and $1,320,888 for township
roads. To meet these amounts the
government raised by special taxes
more than $11,800,000 to which the
gasoline tax contributed $4,000,000
and the sale of motor vehicle permits
nearly 36,000,000.
The people of the province ought to
peruse these facts carefully, in order
that they may have a clearer under-
standing of the problems of the high-
ways, department. It is evident that,
if the .people -keep demanding im-
proved roads, still greater sums will
have to be. expended, which will have
to be provided by :taxation.
Henry gives the asurance that during.
the coming year, the, . department in-
tends to imeist upon 0 satisfactory
observance of the .traffic laws of the
province. If this determination is
carried out, it will receive the, fstra-
est support of the people of the pro-
vince.
