How, about teaching as to (play (hockey?" Such a greeting has been extended in every country where water freezes. The 1mpres'siop prevails that every Canadian , possesses this national in- stinct to skate through a maze of sticks and whip round tubber into a cotton net, It is so anniversary that, Ibe'fore next spring, !half a thousand puck-chaeinLg Catruoks will earn a milliom collars for teaching and -dem-. onatrating 'hockey to a sport -hungry world. Where do these 5100 "do their stuff"? In New York, 'Chicago, Bos- ton and Detroit; he a score of smaller United States centres /from Coast to Coast; in England and Scotland; in nearly every arpontant European city. Even in Japan, war or no war, some 'Canadian will, this winter, in- struct young ',Nips" in the art of skating and Sooting a rubber puck. Thirty-five years ago the 'first big trek began—when wealthy coal min- ers ,in Michigan raided Canadian rinks and era'b;bed a beam so good that it averaged .more than ten goals a Igaane. Europe did not get its first "eyeful" of hockey, as it should be played, ,un- til 11920, -when the Winnipeg Falcons, Dominion champions, competed in the first world's championship at Antwerp. In winning every game de- cisively, their sudden /bursts of speed and q•uicks'tops so inapressed the Eur- opeans that the latter .actually search- ed their boots and skates for the electrical energy which they thought made such skating possible.

One player received $115,000 a season, and some clubs :paid annsual'ly more than $100,000 to fifteen players. So keen was the (bidding for goal - getters that a few outstanding pros- pects received 1$110,000 for a promise to /play; and one American team, in its eagerness to win the old Stanley. Cup, bought an entire prairie league. to ensure suitable material. While these salaries :have since 'cooled," the world'dentand for hock- ey has remained quite hot.

Up till now, Canada has been able to furnish enough good hockey 'for ,horse consumption, and also supply the markets of United States, the Bri- tish Isles, Europe and some of Asia. But isn't the game .getting too big for us? Cats we continue exporting quality and quantity, to satisfy the world? Fortunately for Canada, it requires about fifteen years to !produce a top grade 'hockey player.

S. students didn't start playing 'the game until they were in their late teens. Contrast that retarded ,development with conditions in Canada. In Toronto, every Saturday morn- ing orning in winter, two teams of kids, not one of whom is over ten years old, pay hockey in Maple Leaf Gardens, while an adult coach teaches them 'inside stuff," • Several years ago, in Iroquois Falls, a group of small lads started playing together.

Back of the d100I' front-line Canadi- an 'hockey players who make a good living selling hockey .skill, there are about 215,000 other players registered in leagues organized by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. Rough- ly, 700 of them play in the Thunaer Bay District, 1800 in Britis'lr Columtbia, about .11300 each in Saskatcln•ewan and Alberta, 11600 in the Tlaritiene Prov- inces, more than 1700 in Manitoba, ,and 2500 around Ottawa, About 4,- 000 reside in Quebec,and nearly 000 in Ontario. Excluding university players, there is a reserve of fifty candidates for each position now occupied by the 5013 Ca- nadian front -liners; and most of these reserves would be stars in any other country. Does that 215,000 exhaust Canadian resources? Not nearly, In Toronto it is definitely known that during the 119318 season, 12,850 players played (hockey in sixty-six city rinks; and, as Toronto is no more hockey conscious than any other part of the country, there is evidence that more titan 180,- 000 Canclian boys know enough about hockey to belong to a team tend play games. So our hockey army includes 500 in the trenches, '35,000 in imnneiate re- serve, and 1180,000 recruited and in 'training.

The Ontario Dairy Farm Manage- ment and Milk Cost :rutty reveal, striking variations in the net return secured by milk producers from their business. Studies of a similar nature in other dairying. section: of Canada and in other countries have at other tunes shown sintiler 'ide differences in the farm business returns. As in urban business, some farmers do tcell wile other, have great difficulty in !accumulating sufficient net revenue to maintain lining standards. The operator labor earnings i$ the terns used in this study to express the return to the farm operator or his labor and management after de- ducting from receipts all general ex- penses, interest on capital values at 4 per cent., and wages for all members of the farm operator'e famiiy for such farm work as they do. except the farm manager himself. The high- est operator labor earnings for the year ending June 30, 11937, amorist 460 shippers of milk to fluid markets. was Valle? and the lowest (minus) $1,879. The variation in operator -la- bor earnings between these two farms was more than $7,000. ',Vhile one can not with accuracy gauge farming by the net returns in any one year of op- erations, this wide variation in net returns is a characteristic which has been revealed by all similar studies of any competitive business. There are several factors which are responsible for the great difference in net income as (between farms. Some of 'these fac- tors cotne within and some are be- yond the control of the farmer, such as weather and prices. A ,farmer may suffer a reverse in progress due to unfavorable conditions of weather in any one year, 'but over a period of years, he may learn through experi- ence the kind of weather to expect and can make adjustments in the bus- iness accordingly. Unusual condition of ,weather do not :occur annually, The hazards of prices, too, can be overcome in a large measure by care- ful study. It is true the farmer's esti- mate of prices may be incorrect for a period, but careful study of price in- formation will assist greatly in 4tatrdl= ing such handicaps, "Now, darling, ,do 'tell me how you first came to 'know of your af5gstiot ,for •eve.".. .
