GROWING OUR OWN

Oak and Walnut Now Largely
Imported for Wood -Work-
ing Industries:
Al study of the 'requirements of the
wood -working indtistries or 'Canada
will disclose the fact that'the Minor-
tations oPmany of their essential raw
materials are reaching peopoetions of
considerable niagnitude, says the Na-
teral Resources Intelligence Service of
the Department of the Interior. For
example, the oak and walnut, so ex-
tensively used hi the manufacture of
high-class furniture, for which pro-
duct Canada enjoys an enviable repu-
tation in the expert' markets, ie al-
most exclusively obtnined front the
United States, and this despite the
fact that it has been a product of Can-
ada, and can still be grown here: It
is not out of the way to say -Chat in
the not far distant future, this for-
eign source of supply will have reach -
ea ,such a point of exhaustion that it
will meet no;more than the AnTerican
demand and Canada's supplies will be
Mere difficult to obtain. We may then
have to resort to substitutes. Why
not then take some, stops to prepare
Lor this emergency. ,
-Looking at 113318 problem from the
points of view of a greater affixation
of our idle lands, many of which are
pat ion y we, .tteip ot foleary
purposes, and o p otecting out wood
Working industries, is extremely

• Natural Resources Bulletin.
The Natural Reeeurcee Intelligence
Service of the Department of the In-
torior. at Ottawa says:
One of Canada's economic minerals
that is becoming increasingly import-
ant is copper. The deinand for this
instal is rapidly growing, due -to th
ease with which it can be adapted t
manufacture. During '1924,, the out
put of copper in Canada reached 111
remarkable figure of 101,565,00
pounds, the ,highest production situ:
the elose of the war. „In 1918 ther
was 118,769,484 pounds 'produced
showing the possibilities cff this na
tural resource when etcxsion demands
Last year the output of copper iva
80,985,537 Pounds,
Thera has been: a very large in -
'crease in the use of copper in recen
years, particularly in the electrical in
duitry, „where fully 50 per cent. o
'the world's output of copper is con
'sinned, * recent statement by th
Secretary of the Copper and Bras
Itesettech Association, some figures o
coneemption wbre made available.
In telephone ead telegraph lines
is estimated that 1,400,000,02,0 pound
of copper have been nsed; while th
present annual consumption for thi
purpose is 200,009,000 pounds; sub
marine cables contain 20,000,00
pounds of copper; radio sets have use
up 5,000,000 pounds. Harnessing o
water -power "and the building of trans
1131011011 lines have called for an 00100mous quantity of copper wire.
The. mehufacturc of automobile
absorbs large quantities- of copper
varying, from twenty pounds in 11:
smaller car to 700 pounds in the mor
expensive car. Street railway line
Use a large amouet of copper fo
trolley wires as well AS in the build
ing'of the cars, from one to two thou
sand pounds being requirdd for each
'Copper is also the principal ingre-
dient' in the Manufacture of brass,
which latter is made by fusing three
parts of copper with two parts -0
zinc, 'although VitryMg proportion
as to color and hardness required. A
small percentage of iron is sometimes
added to secure hardness.
‘Dritisli Columbia and Ontario are
the two principal prodbeing provihcoS,
the, former large:y predothinaling,
throe companies, the 'Granby, Britan
ma and Consolidated, having large
smelting and refining, plants.
In order to encourage the produc-
tion:mit the higher grades efeopTer a
boat)/ on 00151101- bars and rods, made
in Canada from copper produced
Canada and sold for consumption11
this country, was granted in 1923 fo
five years. As a result of this on
Canadian electrical company is nal
rolling copper 101335 in Canada.
AIR SQUADRONS TO

The Secretary declared that a sys-
tem of air defence would probably be
established, -80a$ to make the risk of
attacking Great Britain a. very ser-
ious consideration in the mlnd of any
country thinking of doing so. Answer-
ing the attacks of Laborite extremists,
he asserted that the Gevernment was
just as anxious for a reduction of
armaments as they. Tho Prime Min-
ister had authorized him. 10 say that
the Government would take the first
opportunity, whether by coeferance
or other means that could be suggest-
ed, to effect a reduction, which, ha
s believed, .every mMriber' of the Houso
s desired.-
Premier Baldwin,. speaking later,
said the Foreign Office estimates
