TOBACCO LEAF
EXPORT GROWS
Trade in 1927 Thirty Times Total
of 1921—This Year's Quota of
6,079,606 Pounds Slightly Below
'27
Ottawa, Dec. 6,—The value of
the tobbaco growing industry to
Canada is rapidly assuming an im-
portant place in Canada's export
trade. In 1921 the total export of
Canadian tobacco amounted to 200,-
153 pounds whilst in the fiscal year
1927 it had reached a total of 6,-
330,972 pounds, or more than 30
times that of 1921. The exports in
the fiscal year 1928 show a slight
decline of over 250,000 pounds as
compared with 1927.
INCREASE SHOWN
The following table prepared by
the Dominion Bureau of Statistics
shows the steady increase in exports
of Canadian tobaccos during the
last seven years, 99.6 percent of
which at the present time goes to
the United Kingdom.

EXPORTS GROW
The increase i. exports corresponds
to the increase :n production. The
total production ::,r Con ads Inere-
ased t 43,916,700 pounds in 1927,
from 33,600,000 pounds a 11'20 and
13,249,000 on the low crop year of
1921. Ontario lee chiefly- -eeponeible
for the increase.
Of the 1927 production, Ontario
had 35,6.32,400 pounds of an estma-
ted farm value of 87,556,301. Que-
bec producing 7,824,300 pounds and
British Columbia 470,000 pounds.
Ontario has by far the largest tobac-
co growing area -3,050 acres, com-
pared with 10,018 acres for Que-
bec and 60 acres for British Colum-
bia, the other two tobacco -producing
provinces. In 1926 the acreace for
Ontario was 23.493. The farm value
of over Ontario tobacco crop in-
creased by over 82,000,000 in 1927
over 1926.
USED IN CANADA
Of Canadian raw leaf tobacco
used in Canadian tobacco factories,
much the largest portion goes into
smoking and chewing tobacco. In
1927, 20,684,711 pounds of Cana-
dian leaf valued at 57,040,538, was
used in Canadian factories compared
with 16,484,936 pounds of imported
leaf valued at 512,535,736. In 1926,
19,514,543 pounds of domestic leaf
and 17,309,361 of imported leaf
was used, Thus domestic leaf is gra-
dually replacing the imported art-
icle in the tobacco manufacture of
this country. For smoking and
chew-
ing tobacco about twice asmuch
e
imported
domestic leaf is used as mp
leaf, but for cigarettes almost three
times as much imported leaf as dom-
estic leaf is used,
FEW
ER CIGARS
Canadians are smoking more cig-
arettes and fewer cigars than in
former years, and are gradually giv-
ing up the use of chewing tobacco,
while consuming more snuff. Cigar
production fell from 206,517,000 in
1919 to 148,811,000 in 1925, rising
in 1917 only to 171,161,000. Cigar-
ette production reached its maimum
in 1927 with 3,613,194,000, com-
pared with 3,096,650,000 in 1926
and 2,963,905,000 in 1919. Chewing
tobaeon production dropped to 5,-
69480e
;69480e pounds in 1927 from 5,709,-
581 in 192,Ie and 7,367,774 in 1919.
The production of snuff last year
was 1,112,134 pounds compared
with 750.000 pounds in 1919.
The increase in the value of ma-
nufactured tobaccos in 1927 over
i926 was 85,940,744, cigarettes ac-
counting for 54,826,224 of this.
CLEAN VS. DIRTY VS. WASHED
EGGS FOR STORAGE.
Experience has shown that weehed
e *gs are eultabie only for immediate
consumption. and ti+'ill not stand tip
under `torn:;g.e conditions for any
length of time. Although the wash-
ed egg may get by a short time,
and be quite acceptable on the
fresh egg market, its inferiority is
immediately evident after a period
of storage.
Experiments carried on at several
Dominion Experimental Farms have
shown that clean eggs which graded
75 per cent. specials and 25 per
cont. extras before, and 3 per cent.
weak and watery after six months
storage. Dirty eggs grading similar-
ly when placed in storage came out
emetically on a par with the clean
eggs. Washed eggs, however, stored
under similar conditions g'r'aded only
15 per cent. extras, 24 per cent.
firsts, and 31 per. cent. weak and
watery, or nearly 50 per cent. in-
ferior to both the clean and dirty
eggs.
Evidently the washing of eggs
detracts from their keeping qualities
to such an extent that it may be
considered to be bad practice. It is
advisable by cleanliness and sanita-
tion on the poultry plant to avoid
the producing of dirty eggs, Dirty
eggs, when obtained, should be
marketed as such. 13y washing them
the poultry -man is placing a product
of inferior quality upon the market,

Some Stage Celebrities Achieved
Great Wealth.
Dame Ellen Terry's estate or 222,-
231, though not a fortune, is prob-
ably larger than most people antici-
pated. It is good to learn that the
great actress in the evening of her
clays was far from care or discom-
fort --_not, of course, that lnvini; rchl-
ti:•es would ever have allowed either
to approach her.
Her wants were always very sim-
ple, and she disliked ostentation of
any kind. The testimonial matinee
at Drury Lane some years ago was,
therefore, an act of tribute well de-
served, and not,' fortunately, the se-
curing for a fine artiste and faithful
servant of the public of the means
to live.
Thus Ellett Terry died richer than
her famous partner, Henry Irving,
whose 120,527 repr.,+entad but a
small portion of the fortune ht' was
at own time worth; his losses
through sip eulation were very heavy.
But neither achieved the wealth of
some other stage celebrities. Sir

AN I.'dPOR'VAN-P EXPERIMENT.
J. Spedan Lewis Makes Every Em-

"I want no more money for myself.
The fortune I have inherited from my
father is a sufficient prepayment for
my life's work."
This declaration, made by Mr, 3.
Spedan Lewis, head of the store of
John Lewis & Co., Ltd., Oxford
street, Loudon, marks the beginning
of an important experiment in the
Old Country business world which
will make every employe a partner
in the tlrm. It was from "Old John"
Lewis, the founder of the firm, that
Mr. Spedan Lewis inherited the
business.
"Eighteen years ago I thought out
the plan," lir. LeW1s tells me, say's
a correspondotat, "All the ordinary
shares iu t1e company are my pro-
perty, and I am applying the divi-
dends from tbese shares to a peo0t-
sha'ln.g scheme for the • employes.
These shares will be allotted to the
men and woolen in the business—
from managing directors to shop
girls and office boys—in proportion
to the money they earn. This means
that the business will belong to the
employes."
