'THE FINANCIAL SITUATION IN CANADA The address of Sir Edmund "Walker, President of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, delivered at 'the annual meeting on Tuesday, presents a particularly illuminating review of the financial outlook in 'Canada. Sir Edmund is looked 'upon as one of the best informed authorities in Canada on problems .of commence and finance, and for this reason his annual survey of conditions is looked upon as an authoritative pronouncement that is especially valuable to all who swish to gain an accurate knowledge• normal eon(lition was based, sot on Incjustrliti enterprise, but on the creation of so-called wealth from the evtdeilces of debt l,sued by, Governmentsengaged in ee, travagant expenditures, There was 'also widespread unrest in Labor elutes and demands for wage 10- creases, followed by increased prices for commodities. The eon* dition of credit became more stringent because -the banks could not grant the Credits sought, which were steadily made larger by two factors, larger quan- tities, and higher. prices. The cur- taiitnent of credit became neces- sary, and fortunately this was ac- complisher with the minimum of disturbance, beginning of 1921 it s thee i nn 'AtnI is possible to there less say that disturbance in Lebo 1 circles, and substantial improvement in the at- titude and efficiency of workers in general. This is due to the re- instatement of large numbers of workers released from service in the war. Moreover, the adjustment of prices, for labor and cot*: modities, is well underway, and this affords, a solid basis of hope for future happiness .'and prosperity, A further factor is found in the decline' of prices for raw . materials in staple Industries, many of which have reach- ed pre-warr levels, and the process Is still going on. One adverse feature is the great excess in the value of imports over exports, a condition which appar- ently can only be remedied by sheer inability to buy. On the other hand there is little shrink- age in the purchasing power of the Canadian people, owing to the gigantic harvest of field crops which, in spite of the lower prices prevailing, aggregate an increased value estimated at the least at $184,000,000, In addition to this the mineral production of the country has been a record yield, amounting to $200,000,000. These are steadying factors in the process of readjustment that is going on. Over against this is. the impairment of purchasing power caused by lessened production and consequent unemployment. The question of taxation must be studied and mastered, so that a scientific system may be devised. which, while it , will provide the buoyant revenues which are ab- solutely necessary to' carry the burdens entailed by the war, will bear equitably not only upon the average citizen, but upon finance and busineess in general. When this is accomplished, and the price of wages and commodities reaches a reasonable basis, a general era of prosperity can be expected.

"NEURITIS" FOLLOWS THE FLU. THOUSANDS ON FARMS Aver 7,5Q0 Persons ' Were Plsced, on Farms This Year, Experience Shows Cold Nights? Lone ere Milk Flow ,When Cows Are Left In Fields. (Contributed by Ontario Department of• Agriculture, Toronto.) SINCE Oct, 31st, 1917, the Qn• u leo Em - Gov Government b taro er t P n tarlo tom tB reser have s P Y en u employment for 19,000 per- sons, of which 7,016 were men, and 11,984 women. This work has been accomplished for the most part through the efforts of the offices at Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton and London. Since April, however, new • bureaus have been opened at King- ston, Port Arthur and Fort William. In order that the best results might be gained through the campaigns for farm laborers the efforts of the Trades and Labor Branch, the Organ- iaation of Resources Committee and the Agricultural Represente,tlYeS WCl'e co-ordinated, The province was• di- vided.into six districts, each center- ing around one of the bureaus. The organization is now such that each county, through the Agricultural Re- , presentative,.: is kept in touch with one of the • Employment Bureaus, Thus the surplus labor in one part of the province may be shifted to a part ,where- a scarcity is, telt. Any farmer in Ontario, by communicating with the. Agricultural Representative for his codnty. may learn how farm help can be obtained. To date 7,800persons have been placed on Ontario farms, Of these some 3,800 were men, 2,140 ' boys and 1,260 women. Several campaigns have been launched including, "Sol- diers or the Soil" (boys between 14 and 19 years), "Haying and Har- vest," "Sugar Beet Hoeing," "Thresh- ing and Fall Ploughing," and "Flax Pulling." Over 260 boys . were sent to the sugar beet fields of the Chat- ham district, and 126 are now pull- ing flax, Qt the 1,260 women sent the ma- jority are on fruit farms. An effort was made at the Toronto office to send women to assist in the farm kitchens ,with the result that 70 wo- men have gone to this work. During the winter a class was organized for the purpose of giving girls a train- ing in chore work on the farm. In April a course was opened, at the On- tarto Agricultural College, where about 150 women and girls have gone out to assist on mixed farms through- out the province. The results achiev- ed by these women have been satis- factory from the standpoint of the farmer, It Is the desire of the Department that every farmer 1n need of help is 'supplied with suitable and satisfac- tory assistance, and it is toward this end that our offices are organized and Into the fulfilling of which practically all the energy of our staff is put. On account of the supreme import- ance of food production the greatest amount of effort, In all offices, has been put forth toward recruiting and placing men on farms, yet a large number of people have secured posi- tions in other lines of work. Eight hundred and seventy-one men have been placed at factory and munition work, 3,200 general laborers, 3,000 builders and 1,624 at miscellaneous occupations, Women have been plac- eci es follows: 1,690 domestics; 1,273 munition and factory workers, and 1,700 at clerical and miscellaneous occupations.—Dr. W.

'rbe season for cold nights will be nere all too soon, in this northern ell - mate. While it is true that keeping the rows ineide meana;more.labor in cleaning the stable. ai d mare diffi- culty .in keeping.. the cows clean, the extra,fertieiring material collected in this way will probably pay for the extra labor., if this does not, the extra supply, of milk received by keeping the cows in. a comfortable stable at times when the temperature drops - below.. freezing -point, will do so. Experience shows that cold has a v'er'y marked effeot:in lessening,the milk Bow, particularly for cows that have been milking Lor some tithe, when the naturaltendency is 'for the' cow to dry up. and during which time every means .should ;be adopted• to keep the cow.. milking. Cowb'should milk at least tep„tnenths of theeyear. 'Leaving cows 3ont of.adoor-s.,v,n cold nights, after they have beenlinilking for , six. or eight months„ makes a greater tendency foie-thesecowsto go dry. • Wherecows are kept inside, the stable should be cleaned regularly and some absorbent material like sawdust, shavings, chaff, or cut - straw, should be scattered along the passages, on the platform, and in the gutter. This helps very much in cleaning the stable and in keeping the cows clean. Another advantage of stabling on frosty nights, is that it prevents the cows eating frozen feed, which is gen- erally considered to be injurious to ilk cows. They may be kept in the able or yard until after the pasture thaws, and in this way the animals are protected against digestive now hies, and conditions are more favor- able for maintaining the health and milk -flow of the animals. — Prof, 11, II.

After a conference in 1911 between the United States, Russia, Japan and Canada, all of whom are interested naturally of gratifying proportions, and will be more so in the future. It has been computed roughly that one million seal skins are marketed every year, and to this aggregate the largest single collection is contribut- ed by the sealers of Newfoundland operating on their own coast and off 700,000 seals have been slaughtered) by the entire Newfoundland fleet in ze single season, A novel method of hunting seals, under the auspices of the Govern- ment of Newfoundland, is to be intro' duced in the spring by, two Nova, Scotia aviators wbich, if successful„• may revolutionize the entire industry. The party of three men, with two ) aeroplanes and dirigibles of the type i used so.siiccessfully during the war ,f to "spot" submarines, - will leave 1 Montreal to loin the Newfoundland 1 sealers at 8t. Johne, the augmented ' party of thirty-five or forty, leaving for the Labrador ice fields. Hitherto the locating of seal, herds has been done by men in the rigging of ships 'whose range .is naturally limited. -.'This work it is intended to do with planes, "spotting" being Pos- sible by this means within a• radius' offifty;miles. • The method, then, is' as follows: The aeroplane. which • . The Fur Seal.:' ,' . is sealing in these .waterer,`t Clone season was established for fifteen' yearn, and pelagic sealing forbidden. According• to the treaty signed at the • same time. Canada receives fifteen per: cent. of the catch of these 'Wat- ers. The Domlrioti's'credit has been e allowed to accumulate, and when a settlement Is made, which will prob- ably be done at the end of i.he pres- ent year, it is expected, that Canada will receive something like $800,000 as her share of the catch since the opening of the season, With the beneficial effect the protection of the herd has bad and Is still experi- encing, It is predicted that in a few years Canada's revenue from this source will be in the neighborhood of $1,000,000 per year. All the year round hair seals, which are great roamers, have been in the habit of infesting the Fraser River and the Gulf of Georgia, in- habiting inaccessible flats, and by consuming large quantities of fish already taken in nets, have constitut- ed themselves a general nuisance. 'Various methods of combatting this pest have been tried unsuccessfully, and experimentaticn is continuing, In the belief that a successful method of trapping will not only terminate the mischief these animals are doing, but result In the creation of a new and important industry on the Pacific Coast. The hair seal is valued partly for its hide, which is used in making varlets kinds of leather, for oil which is extracted from the carcass, and on the 'Facific Coast, for use in the manufacture of fertilizer. The hair seat• is a particularly valuable ani- mal at the. present time, leis hide sell- ing for as high as $176. A recent development in the seal industry Is the utilization o, the skins of old finales, a hitherto unprofitable sec- tion, which considerably O'nhences the value of the seal catch to any country, Canada draws revenue from seal fish- ery on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and the amounts' accruing frofn therm aro, et the present time, The Hair or Common Seal. the shores of Labrador. In the year 1919, Newfoundland's share of the seal fishery accounted for 81,293 seals with a market value of $278,000, The industry on the island accounts for the employment of 1,686 men and numerous vessels take part in the often hazardous undertaking. The seal industry originated In Newfoundland in 1763, and for some years after that the annual catch did not exceed three or four thousand skins per season. With the increas- ing demand for oil and skins, how- ever, the industry grew, and snore men and vessels game to engage ex- clusively in It, By the beginning of the nineteenth century, the annual catch exceeded 60,000 skins, and lar- ger and larger vessels were built for the pursuit, till later these were superseded by fast steamers. At the present time, though there are some selling vessels still engaged, the steamer is the big emit in the activity and accounts for flvo-sixths of the catch. t Of late' years the seal h of New- foundland foundland has fallen off somewhat due to the heavy toll and iudiscritn- 'nate killing which 1s now regularized by legislation. The 1908 catch, for instance, ,numbered 213,863 seals and that of the follewieg year 9109,320 animals. A single Vessel has beeh known to bring in 10 St. Joints a 'catch Of 42,000 and a total of nearly carries five men besides the pilot and mechanic, descends to the fee where the animals are despatched by b lets from pump guns, The Bklns are, then packed in bundles about the. base of poles to which a flag is ate' taehed. This kind of hunting con-' tinues to the end of the season when the ice breaks up, the hunters pro -'i, ceeding from place to place trans ported by plane as new herds arae "spotted". At the close of the sea -i son the vessels visit the ice breaks and pick up the bundles, being ma -II terially assisted by the pianos in lo- eating and signalling, Close upon the announcement of, the projected activities of these avis tors there arrived in St. John's two "blimps" or war airships, a present to Newfoundland from the Imperial Government. These it is Intended to use in the seal fisheries in the same manner, the cost of operation, cede mated at $60,000, being borne jointly by the Newfoundland Government; and the owners of the sealing vessels assisted in their catch, The co-operation of the government in this new venture would augur al belief in the practicability and sum -1 Coss of the novel enterprise, and' doubtless their success, which is highly probable, will have a marked effect upon scaling on both coasts, , and tend to bring about a revolution. 111 taunting Methods, -.
