More than one million Christmas trees, it has f, been conservatively estimated, are used in Canada each year, while of the 10;000,000 trees used in the United States Canada is called upon to, fur- nish a substantial number, estimates varying between 2,000,000 and 4,000,. 000. Last year more than a million trees, or some 500 carloads, averaging 2,000 trees to a car, were shipped. from New Brunswick alone to the United States market, )1'rsdericton reporting shipments three times as great as the Year before. Shipments from the Pro- vinee of Quebec to the Unitech States over Canadian Pacific lines alone ran to 450,000 in 1925, and were substan- tially greater last year. "Contrary to what is often claimed, the satisfying of the domestic and ex- port demand for Christmas trees is, according to expert forest authorities, an insignificant drain upon Canadian forst wealth. One authority points out that fo i•overy small tree destroy- ed fo i-tlto. Christmas trade a million are killed in Canada by forest fires. • Again it le pointed out that certain species of trees, such as the balsam and cedar, which enter into the trade are known as "weed trees,"and have little or no value except as Christmas trees, Again other species are sup- plied through the process of clearing land for agricultural purposes, and also from a .very necessary thinning out of commercial forests. "To an ever: -increasing extent, bow- ever, Christmas trees are coning from fanners' grown-up pastures, swamps and wastelands, and many settlers make a comfortable little income from this business each year -when con- veniently situated as regards mar- kets. In 1925 the revenue of Quebec farmers from this source ran, accord- ing to estimate, to $100,000, and was substantially greater in the Maritimes. In the annually increasing demand there is opportunity in certain sec- tions to plant woodlots and follow a thinning -out process each year ensur- ing a nsuringa steady addition to income. "Another Christmas adornment which is going from Canada to the United States each year in increasing quantity is holly, Holly production in Canada is confined to the Pacific Coast of British Columbia, but this very limitation has resulted in tbe de- velopment oe n thriving little Indus- try. try. An expansion ofcultivation ie taking place there as the demand across the tine becomes brisker. The relatively few ranchers engaged in the Industry find it a profitable undertak- ing, and, according to one of thein, 1:800 peracre is a fair average income from this pursuit. "The sale of decorative plants and cut flowers is particularly brisk at Um Christmas season, and It is re - Markable th manner in which this in- dustry has developed in the Dominion, hough there is still a very heavy im- port trade carried on, rn the past year indoor plants 001(1 in Canada numbered 13,076, and had a value of $140,531, while cut dowers sold num- bered 15,209,144, and had a value of 1,295,028. -Still more remarkable is t to discover that many of these move o the United States at the Christmas eason, even the Prairie Provinces en - g aging In this trade.

The Inodeon hatcheryman must fol- low modern business methods, that's certain. I1 he has sales problems to solve, he must solve then in a )modern way. His,,hatchery is like a factory: eggs are the raw material; baby chicks are the finished product. The factory mast be kept working at ca- pacity to keep overhead and produc- tion rusts down. :Sales must keep step with production. In the early days of the baby chick industry gelling wae simpler, Once the publi; got the idea that baby chicks could be bought in the market like apples or handkerchiefs, it was necessary only to tell it where the chicks could be bought, for everybody wanted to buy them. But it wasn't long before the maimmaimcomplicated itself. Competition developed rapidly and hatcheryinen had to beg in to use their brains in working out selling problem. Quality production proved to be the best solution of the quantity production problcnt;s quality chick mean satisfied customers. Here is one method to help reduce the added cost of producing quality chicks. In carrying on the business of the i(entucky Hatchery, we make it our regular ptaetice to have the customer pay delivery charges upon his clicks; All shipments of our chicks are made by express or parcel posts shipping charges collect. We know this is en- tirely different from the usual custom, but we are able to do it because our chicles are high quality and our cus- tomers are so anxious to get them that they willingly pay th..A shipping costs. It means only a slight extra expense to them, but to vs the aggregate sav- ing is a very material item.e In any ca,, it seems logical to us that the customer should pay (10110017 charges. In practically all other bust- nesses where delivery is made by mail or express, this plan is accepted with- out question, We make" it a matter of -fact proposition, emphasizing it clearly in our catalogue and price list; people simply make. up their minds they want I(entucky ehieke and the quoetiot of a small delivery charge does not deter them from ordering. It n an easy step in the same direc- tion to sell chicles en a C.O.D. basis,' which we have been doing regularly.. A $1. deposit is all that is n eeseai•y to secure the booking and shipment of an order, no matter of what size. We. require this nominal deposit to show us that the customer is in earnest in. his desire for the chicles. Last year 60 per cent. of our busi.n mess was handled e a C,O.D. basis, with entire satisfaction. We found that the percentage of returns was very snail: sueh clicks as were re- turned were brooded in our own stor- age brooders. Our chicks .ern readily stand the shipment and return with- out injury. We von them in the nursery for two weeks and another week in the colony house before sell- ing them as three -week-old' chicks, We also sell some six-week stock. Of course, one must have high grade chicks if the C.O.D. sales plan is going to work. That reduces the ehanees of return, for the customer will be so with ith the quality of Isis ship.

Hunting Cancer To Its Lair Dr, Louis Sambon, as Test of Cancer Theory, Plans Con- centrated Research in Isle of Man London—As soon as the sanction ofthe Ministry of I3ealtlr Is1 0 stained the Isle of Man will become the centre of a concentrated cancer re- search to be carried out by Dr. Louis Sambon; one of the world's leading cancer experts. He plans to make a minute exam- ination 'of the flora and fauna of the island and to leave no stone unturned in the hope et' finding a cure for the disease. Dr: Sambon, who is working under thio direction of the British School of Tropical Medicine, has in- timated that he already has a theory regarding the origin of cancer and hopes by this means to find support for his theory. With the aid of street maps and medical registers he :plans to make a thorough check-up in all the island districts of persons who died from cancer in the last fifty years and all cancer victims now. living. "If my previous experience counts for anything," ha said, "I will dis- r:over that cancel' clusters in well -de - filled areas where the people living there are liable to bo attacked, "My colleagues•and I will then con- duct a minute examination of the ver- min in each district, especially rats, mice, cockroaches, cellar beetles, and various kinds of worms. We have al- ready established a theory and we want to see stow it is supported:" Dr. Louis Sambon, an authority on tropical cal diseases, iv2 to almost twenty yars ago reported the cause of pel- lagra and later investigated the cause of malaria when he lived in the mus- quito-infected Boman Campagna, has in recent years devoted his attention to. epneer. In 1925 he announced a belief that the disease was parasitic. lois de. elevation was printed In The Journal of Tropical Medicine and Ilygiene, published in London, and received much attention. Cockroaches, cellar beetles and other insects were the contagion carriers, ho wrote. LanApril Dr, Sambon reported in- vestigations on cancer in villages in Northern Italy, where he had search- ed death records and street maps and isolated whole sections as "0021001' streets" and "cancer villages." At that time he made the request, sup- ported by medical authorities, that the British Government and public should subscribe to a fund to carry 000 further research into this theory and set apart a region for mass in- vestigation. Early last month the authorities of the self-governing Isle of Man gave permission to carry on the work there.

Disorders in Russia Paris Temps: The rupture of rela- tions with Britain and the tension of relations with France, the impossi- bility of obtaining credits from obroad and the virtual ostracisation of the Soviet Union have put the Soviet rulers in a difilcult position at the very time when they have to grapple with opposition at home which is gain- ing power day by day. For some time now attempts have been reported from various sourcos to renew relations with London and in a recent speech the British Prime Minister, Mr. Stan- ley Baldwin, allowed it to be under- stood that the British Cabinet would not refuse to consider re -opening re- lations with the Soviets as soon es they were ready to conduct them selves according to the obligations and rules o1 international courtesy. At an examination a boy, asked to state why a tiger is striped, wrote: "It is striped because it makes it bet- ter -for circus proprietors. If a tiger escapes from a circus it is easier to find him tha nif he had no stripes, He will not go far without someone noticing that he is not a horse or a dog, on account of leis stripes, and calling up and asking the circus peo- ple if they have lost a tiger."

Crime and Punishment in England "The prison population of Great Britain is under 10,000 and the num- ber of prisoners serving sentences / over fifteen years is infinitesimal, states P. W. Wilson, former Member of the British Parliament, in Decem- bey Current History. "For fifty years the number of murders has been 'uni- form -at about 150 per annum In spite of the fact that the population has in- creased. The death penalty is ap- plied only about fifteen times a year." Mr. Wilson c attributes thea es ood con- ditions to the fact that prompt arrest and trial may e taken for granted and there is unified enforcement of saw with Judges appointed for Iife and ir- removable. The 'British police, more- over, are unarmed, and firearms In general are permitted only under a strict and personal license. The great efficiency in identification methods and detective work of Scotland Yard, "whose officials are appointed for We with prospect of pension and are thus far removed from political In- fluence," act as a strong deterrent force ,as also does the "known diffi- culty of escape due to the guarding of. frontiers and coast lines throughout Europe in general."
