This is the highest total for all 'time with the exception of 1919, when an ali-time high of x$397,238,000 was reached. Total acreage in Ontario for 1948, the annual re- port shows, was 9,138,500 as against 8,113,800 in 1947. Yields per• acre also reached new records in 1948., the report indicates. Fall wheat yielded 25 bushels per acre last year, but in 1948 the yield was 30.3 bushels. Spring wheat went from 18.1 bushels in 1947 to 22:2 bushels in • 1948.

In 1948, it reached 50 bushels. Fodder corn reached 9.95 tons per acre in 1948 as compared with 8.54 in 1947. Potatoes climbed .from an average of 133.4 bushels per acre in 1947 to 177 bushels in 1948, and .as a result of compeititionis 'conducted by- the Crops, Seeds land Weeds Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, a record of more than 700 bushels per acre was established in one or two instances. Sugar beets yielded 10.65 tons per acre as compared with 8.83 tons a year ago. Ontario fanners produced 26,012,500 bushels of fall wheat in 1948 as against •17,736,000 bushels in 1947 and 1,163,000 bushels of spring wheat as compared with 563,000 bushels in 1947. .

Next highest district was Southern Ontario with 4,752,590 bushels. , © © © N THE END OF RECIPROCITY? Areport from Ottawa says the government is now shying away from the idea of some new form of reciprocity with the United States, declares Toronto Saturday Night editorially. Plans for reciprocity—a special deal by which the tariffs between Canada and the United States would be cut down without extending the benefits of those curt to other countries—owed :heir birth to Mr, Dewey, and the likelihood that he and the Re'pubiicans would win the el'ecti'on in the United States. A number of leading Republicans were apparently willing to make a special de'a'l with Canada, while keeping' all the rest of their tariff wall intact. But the time for that sort of thing is happily past. Mr. Truman and the Democrats will no doubt follow their traditional policy. Under their Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act, special deals have never been allowed; indeed Mr. Cordell Hull and his successors have vigorously opposed preferences of all sorts—including Imperial Preference. The tariff re- ductions resulting from each trade agreement with each country have been made available to all other countries on a "most favored nation" basis. From our point of view a special deal with the United States is especially dangerous, the editorial continues. We are already far too dependent oli' the United States for our export markets and for our prosperity. We are like a tittle firm that has got into the position of selling the greater part of its product either directly to a big firm or to other firms that are living on credit from the big firm. What we want—if we are going to keep our independence—.is not a new contract, on special terms with the big firm (although we shall be glad to sell all we can to it) but rather a strengthening of the other firms to which we sell. ' In short, we want to see Britain and France and the Dominions and South America, and Other countries that,. directly or indirectly, are leaning so heavily on the Marshall Plan, pint on . their feet. We . want the U.S. to buy more from • them as well as from us, And this means we want the U.S.,, tariff •wall cut all around, not just along the CanadianAmerican border. Besides, there is always a real danger that reciprocity wA'tli the U.S. will end up as annexa- tion to the U;S. . © © 0 Thought for To-day—Synonyms must be used with care.
