that simply 'from the point of view a
weather and physical comfort he en-
joyed, there would probably be no sem
son that would establish a decisive
claim to his favor. And if there were
any such, it would almost certainly
not be spring.
People are generally governed in
their likes or dislikes of the seasons
by the extremes rather than by the
average of weather displayed. Per-
sons of cheerful and optimistic spirit
are likely to remember a season by its
shining days rather than by its stormy
ones; and persons who are easily af-
fected by adverse circumstances take
their strongest impressions of a sea-
son from those days when it is at its
worst. By that reasoning it might ap-
pear that to such persons all seasons
re equally bad, and that to the others
all are equally good. But impressions
are relative; and anyone who shud-
ders and shivers in cold weather Is
pretty sure to prefer summer, however
hot it may be, and one who really suf-
fers from heat is likely to think that
winter is the best time of the year,

The Destination of Canada's
Crop.
During the seven yeare 1915 to
1921, the total exports of grain from
Canada amounted to 1,222,664,772
bushels. Only fifteen per cent. of this
went to the United States, the balance
of 85 per cent. going to other coun-
tries. Of the total exportation of
grain during this period, 416,950,748
bushels, or 37 per cent., left Canada
by Canadian sea ports whilst 541,900,-
167 bushels were exported via the
'United States. Grain, however, ex-
ported through the customs ports of

purposes may be regarded as an addi-
