Whooping Cough starts with sneezing.
watering of the eyes, irritation of the
throat, feverishness and cough. The
coughing attacks occur frequently but
are generally more severe at night.
On the first sign of a "whoop," Dr.

administered, and weeks of suffering
prevented, as it helps to clear the bcon-

West Shore Road
To Be Disposed Of.
Goderich, April 11.—A special
Meeting of the Town Council was held
last night to consider the Hydro
Electrim Commission's resort on the On
tario West Shore Electric Railway and
as a result a resolution was passed
authorizing the town to be represented
at a meeting of the municipalities
of Goderich, Ashfield and Huron Town
ship% and Kincardiiie to be held soon,
to advertise the road and equipment
for, sate. This road, some 30 miles in
length, between the two Luke towns,
was a scheme Domed c e oa ed by o•
J W. Moyes,
of Toronto, at an estimated cost of
$400,000, and was started in 1908, the
town guaranteeing the bonds to the
extent of 3159,000, or a little better
than one third of the road. The hydro
report states that it Would be ueces
sari to spend in the neighborhood of
$400,000 to reconstruct the road to Kin
cardine, and, with the other necessary
expenses, consisting of stations, rolling
stock, etc., the road, when completed,
wouldcost well over $1,000,000. The
cost of operation would be $;5,400 which
with the interest, would run over $1000,
000. Against this would be a revenue
of some $58,000 To make ends meet
the Toter' of. Goderich would have to
pay about $12,000 over and above
its yearly interest of $7,500. Public
opinion is strongly in favor of dis
posing of the road, which would net
Goderich about $4,0000, an amount
about equal to that already paid in
taxes.
It was stated that the British were

The Antercia n liner New York struck

WE COULD RAISE MORE
GRAIN THAN WHOLE
WORLD COMBINED
EXCEPTING ONE
COUNTRY.
Canada's total grain crop for t915
totalled 10,194,609,250 bushels, with
a value of $800,000,000 according to
figures published recently. More con-
servative figures place the grain crop
value for 1915 at $600,000,000. It is
interesting to note that the grain crop
of Canada is worth Inose than the whole
metallic production of the United States
as is shown by other reports.
The big 1915 grain crop of Canada
was gathered in from less than 10 per
cent. of the arable land of the Dominion.
This means that it would be possible to
grow in Canada a grain crop worth
$8,000,000,000. The total tilled area
in Canada in 1915 was 37,263,000 acres
The wheat yield of Canada last year
was 376,303,600 bushels with a value
of $312,569,400. This was an increase
of 215,023,600 bushels over 1914. The
average yield per acre last year was
28.98 bushels as compared with (5.67
bushels for tite previous year.
Premier Wheat Country.
Canada is fast becoming one of the
most important grainaries of the world
as is shown in comparison with one
year's production in the following fig-
ures; wheat production:
British India
France
Italy
Argentina
Australia
Germany
Canada produces more wheat in pro-
portion to her population than any
country in the world and is fast going
ahead of British India as the great grain-
ary of the British Empire, Canada's ex-
portable wheat and flour from the 1915
harvest Is estimated at a value of $200,-
000,000 and the Dominion now has ap-
proximately 545 (loud mills, with a
dally capacity exceeding 11,865 barrels.
Oat Crop is Larger.
But large as was Ole 1915 wheat
crop it was not in number of bushels
Canada's greatest grain crop, it being
exceeded by oats which gave a yield of
520,103,000 bushels with a value of
170,894,700, Though the oat crop in
number of bushels exceeded the wheat
crop by a big margin, the cash value of
the wheat crop was the greater. Can-
ada's oat crop in 1915 showed a gain
over tine 1914 oat crop of over 200,000-
000 as shown in the following figures:
Bushels.
1915 oat crop 520,103,000
1974 Oat crop 313,078,000
Bushels
312,032,000
319,667,000

113,903,000
106,600,000
445,944,000
increase 207,025,000
There were other grain crops which
also helped to swell the 1915 yield and
which are among the important an-
nual productions of the Dominion. For
example the barley crop of Canada is
bigger than the wheat crop of Rumania
and there are other equally creditable
comparisons which can be made.
India No Longer Rival.
Up to a few years ago Canada's most
formidable rivals in the wheat Product -
lou mere the Argentine—in South Am-
erica, and British India.-, The Canadian
production has so increased that it has
now passed,. the. yield of British India

Canada's Possibilities.
With only a term of the arable land
lit cultivation, Canada can increase its
wheat and other grain output to ten
times the 1915 production. Such a
production would• make it possible for
the Dominion to ralseas much grain
is 41 the other countries of the world
combined, b d with the exception p of the
United States, The wheat production
of India and South America has been
increasing, but these countries are
further aa
than Canada. The wheat fields of Can -
ado have been brought into close touch
with the Antlanttc and Pacific coasts
by the increased railway facilities of
the western provinces and the Domin-
ion is so well eqquiped with lake, river,
canal and rail transportation facilities
that record grain crops are handled
rapidly, the annual fall movement be-'
ing also assisted by the transportation
lInes of United States as well as through
Canada.
