Swedish and Canadian crinin produc-
ed an average yield of n Inc,and le

from French and Italian lots the '
yield was only 1 ton and 1828 lbs

even more marked with nine Swedish
and Canadian lots yielding an aver-
age of 3 tons and 258 pounds of
t ured haiy per acre and five lots from
Italy and Sicily averaging only .1902
pounds per acre. During the winter
of 1922-28 the ground was Well
covered with snow and there was
very little freezing and thawing
which will account for the fairly
good showing of the less hardy lots.
The winter of 192(1-27 was much less
favourable and the less hardy lots
ever, unable to withstand the winter.
It should not be inferred that all
imported red clover seed is non -
hardy but from results at this Farm
practically all of the Italian and a
very large percentage of the French
seed would be condemned because of
lack of 'hardiness in the resulting
crop. Seed from Swedish sources,
other parts of Canada and Northern

crop sufficiently hardy for normal
years in the Maritime Provinces.

Canadian Industry
Those who contend that Canada's
favorable showing in foreign com-
merce is almost entirely based upon
injudicious depletion of her national
resources, will find something to ex-
plain in the evolution of the robber
industry in this country. Naturally
no rubber grows in Canada, Yet
Canada is today in fourth position
among the producer's of rubber pl'n•
duets, having at total production of
about >`•109,000,000 r.,vnunily by 25
plants. Of this total $30,000,000 is
uorted, acne of it i'•oing to the

Ccutada, and the people, used to
Iluy.n;;• from the United States, were
hesitant about purchasing the pro -
duets of C..:nadian concerns.
Canada also has a very large ex-
port trade in automobiles, notwith-
-tanihn.l the gigantic competition of
manufacturers in the United States,
where this industry is highly o•gan-
i.ed. Most of the pulpwood cut in
Canada is now lnado into pulp or

huge total of k129,000,000 was the
value of finished paper export: sent

other .instance of Canadian manu-
facture 0f raw products front other
countries is last year's production of
more than $8,500,000 by • Canadian
silk factories, while it is predicted
that this country will soon be the
largest producer of rayon, the now
artificial silk, and that this industry
will be ono of Canada's larged; en-
terprises, Any country of ten million
people, which produces, as 'Canada
does, about three billion dollars

land designs are very numerous and
many of them have delightful names,
among winch may be mentioned the
Print, the Wave. the Spider's 'Web,

Till quite lately, Shetland gar-
ments were made exclusively of the
natural undyed shades of the wool,
dark brown, gray, white, :fluorin:fluorinand
shaela, Meorit is a light brown and
shaela a dark gray. These are skil-
fully combined and produce a very
pretty eff'ec't. Recently the demand
for bright colons has been met, and
now the garments can be obtained in
ninny artistic shades, or in natural
shades with colored borders.
The designs on the Fair Isle gar-
ments are very different in character
from those of the Shetland Isles, and
colors have always been employed In
the work. The colors are obtained
from native dyes, from lichens. and
eertatin plants and roots found 00 the
little island. The history of the Fair
lido patterns Is a very romantic one.
In the year 1553, sixty Spanish
strips of the Great Armada, flying
from the vicioriois English, went up
the east Boasts of England and Scot-
land to make their tray back to
Spain round by the north of the
Orkneys. The farther north they
went, the worse became the weather;
the vessels which had so far kept to-
gether, separated, and E1 Gran Gri-
fon, commanded by Don Juan Gomez
de Medina, was wrecked on the Fair
Isle, He himcalf and 200 of those
on board got ashore and spent the
winter there, til all the provisions
on the island having been consumed,
a small boat was sent to Shetland,
and the proprietor of the island ac-
quainted
sgnainted with the distress of his ten-
antry, lie instantly went in his own
ship to the Pair Isle and took off
the Spaniards, ananda few weeks later
vended them all to Dunkirk whence
they made their way bonne to Spain.
As the Pair Isle designs 'are dis-
tinctly Spanish in character, it seems
evident that the islanders must have
eopied them from the women gar -

14 to ole o C, P,. S1 .1105, of
Toronto„ appeared, which so perfect-
ly presents the Hydro situation, as it
ff
aects rural users, that we quote a
part: -
"On or about December 18th
six rural users of Hydro in
Clarke: Township received notice
that a new rural power district
had been formed and that be-
fore January 1st they were to
decide whether they wished- to
discern b -me the services, or to
sign a new contract. The new
contract was to be binding "on
them, their heirs, executors, ad-
ministrator:, succesm's and a: s''•
gas, respectively," for 20 yeau'1,
thereby constituting a lien. a-
gainst the property. The rates
demanded involved an increase
in the service charge from 33
cents a month to 13,40 a month
with a kilowatt hour rate of 6
cents for the forst 42 kilowatts
and 2 cents beyond that."
That is precisely the position that
rural users of Hydro in this district,
as well as others, have ben placed
by the new ruling of the Hydro Com-
mission, and to say that this ruling k
arbitrary and unfair, is not say--
ing too much.
Some of the rural users of Hydro
afiecterl by the new ruling, have had
Hydro installed for a number of
years, They have gone to the te-
30050 of wiring their houses and
even barns. Some have installed
pumping systems and electric ran,t':.
Not tunny, if any can afford to ten'1
the loss which the 'discmitinuat10n of:
the service would oxtail. Yet it ;<
either that or a-ubmittiiip to a twenty
year enntrac't at the almost prohibf-
tive rates asked.
