A statistical summary of the progress of Canada is included in the introdtte- tory matter. This gives a picture in figures, of the remarkable progress which the country Me made_ sine° the first tenses of the Dominion was taken in 1871, sixty-seven years ago. Attention may be called .to some of the more important features of the present volume. A special feature Of Chapter 'VIII —Agriculture—thriseyear is the article appearing at pp 23-23O, dealing with the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Pro- gram inaugurated by the Dominion Government to alleviate the condi- tions brought about by the incidence Of the recent agricultural crisis in the West, and to provide for perman- ent improvements in areas suffering from drought and soil -drifting. .All the space 'that could be spared in Chapter XIX—Labour and Wages— has been given to a summary review of Labour Legislation in Canada, which appears at pp. 787-796, and to an extended treatment of Mothers' Allowances by individual provinces. In addition to the • special features mentioned, some- progress has been made in fitting in the new framework of Ohapter XVIII — Transportation, and Oommunicatione—,ae it was re- cast last year, but unfortunately cer- tain of the statistical series are not yet complete. The section of Chap- ter XXI—Public Finance—which deals with Capital Investments in Canada and Canadian Investments Abroad, has been completely. revise,d and a new series •of historical statistics on a comparable basis, whigh entirely re- places all earlier figtires, is now pre- Sented for the year 1926 to 1935 at PP. 896-899. In Chapter XXIII—Cur- rency and Banking—the tablecon- cerning Loan and Trust Companies have been recast, statistics regarding Small Loans Companies separated therefrom, and a s-eparate section on Small Loans Companies added: the business of these companies has now reached considerable proportions and, !n view of the special legislation gov- erning their incorporation and opera- tion. the -separation is desirable. The rev,ew of life insurance given in Chewer XXIII has been rounded' out by .the inclusion of text and -tables revering the business of Canadian companies abroad and Chapter XXV --Eclucation—has been recast, both in regard 'to textual treatment and tab- u;a r presentations. - A list of special articles appearing in past editions from the year 1922- 23 to 1937 will be found at 'page i immediately preceding the map Of Canada. There are over thirty maps and charts contained in the volume, and two pboto-gelatine inserts illustrating the sectionson "The Flora of Can- ada" and "HiStoric Sites aad•Monu- raents", respectively. Three litho- waplied maps are included. Persons requiring the Year Book may obtain it from the King's Printer, Ottawa, as long as the supply lasts, at the price of $1.50, which covers merely the cost of paper, printing and binding. By a special ooncession, a limited number of paper -bound copies have been set aside for ministers of religion, bona fide students and school teachers, who may obtain copies at the nominal:price of 50 cents each. 1 417eendtb. eRttleit,"'ed 6 , • 444?"211e A4ek See 748 ottta*-- 04' besZ4zo,06,142`4141/04, tr„z;z1 4,„,..0,0Pelti„ ,e17,41.tyve.ocie.

Two-thirds of corn for .husking crap .in Ontario is grown in the Counties of Essex and Kent. In Essex the con- dition at the present time is particu- larly promising with fields showing a good colour. Even fields planted the latter part of June, which may not mature, are making satisfactory pro- gress. In Kent the major part of the acreage was planted six tO) eight days later than usual and for a time grow- ing conditions were not favourable. During recent weeks, however, excel- lent, growing conditions have prevail- ed and crop prOspects are reported €•ood at the present time. There are some indications that the corn borer infestation may show an upward trend this year, but it is too early yet to forecast to what extent the crop may be injured, although, the vigorous growth will doubtless tend to offset the damage. The, acreage of corn for husking this year is estimat- ed at 180,130 acres as compared with 165,593 acres in 1937. 44 • rlige n C -rot P4 egretipe r 0 Fri. peeopect , bio-rogr :" Sip. .6"11-41 Ifzu tral-ci`N 6"-avoll u tif ea S'os ecgo ez/tt • coal • ea taerp trey teat) col ee .02e pie,_ ee 44-N --tc.htf io 4.0e iitedib74. ebeaelt: 11844eof th- c'z: Azatehe/.4b604:ticitt et; Thursday, Wakeford, so Listen Clieh".!* ept. 8-12.45 p.m., Jack gs; 7, "Light Up and 8, Gladys Pickett, piano.

JACK W. YQES A' A journey on the Darwin-Birdum railroad in Northern Australia is like no other railroad journey on earth. The distance of the rue is approxi- mately the same as that between New York and Niagara Falls. Riding on it is an experience not to be forgot- ten. • The 300 odd miles of track run from Dat -win, on the coast, inland to Birdum, where the end comes in heavy scrub, shrouded with grass, and trees. It passes through stark badlands, past deserted mining fields and occasional cattle ranches. The engine whioh pulls the cars was built in 1891. So was its only companion in use. There is a third engine, new, unused, lying in the Dar- win railway yards. It was shipped. there a few years ago at a cost of $75,090, and when it arriyed was found to be too heavy for the tracks: Some day, when the north is develop- ed, it may go into coramission. There are only two passenger coaches, one divided into first and second class, the other for nativeS. Then there are a few freight cars, a few trucks and a mail van. The first section or the line was built by Chinese coolies back in 1849. The track was completed nine years ago, and it cost $41,000 a mile to build. It has been run at a loss so far. The railhead was intended to go on as far as Daly Waters, 61 miles further away. Material was shipped into the wilds. Daly Waters was sur- veyed for the read, but Government funds ran out when the track had reached Birdum and _rails, ties, and fishplates have been lying about in heaps ever since. Oddly, it has bene- fitted by transcontinental travel, nev- ertheless, for it is a junction for -Country-spanning airlines. "Leaping Lena" is tbe name of the eagine which hauls the cars along this tropical highway. It gets under way with considerable fussiness and an enormous jerk, and once it is full out you may see a dog pursue the train, race down the road, over- take the "northern express" and vanish in the scrub ahead. The en- gine maintains a steady 18 miles an hour. The train runs only once a week. Much of the way the line runs through stunted trees and scrub, eloquent of the poverty of this northland'. The overland telegraph runs beside the track; these thin wires link the whole continent. At times you will see the telegraph poles standing feet deep in water and the railroad will run through bogs. Shal- low rivers and billabongs (lakes fed by streams) sometimes overflow the country on either side of the track. The dull green of the stunted trees is monotonous, but the brilliance of the tall spear -grass, which fringes the track and even grows between the rails, enlivena the scene. The grass grows to a height of ten or 12 feet and a journey in the monsoon season is incomplete, without the sound of its swishing against sides aria floors of passenger coaches. In, years of running this friction has bit- ten deep into the boards of the coach- es and' trucks. In only a few months, however, the apt, a rently impenetrable forests of grass will wither under the hot tropic sun and expose the brown, crusted roll beneath. A feature of the journey Is the num- ber of bridges to be crossed -330 of them, about one every mile. In_ the streams beneath crocodiles are sent scurrying away by the noise of the train. The railroad depots are al- most hidden in the encroaching jun- gle; you make out their names with difficulty. About the line are "vil- lages," of two or three buildings of corrugated iron, the easiest building material to transport. There is ac- commodation !dr 16 persons in each ccmpartment of your coach', but it is unlikely there will be more than three or four persons aboard. So the en- gae-driver dawdles, psals up for wa- ter, obligingly lets you wander down "the , track, and photograph this near - jungle. When be is ready to go on. he willbldvs his whistle to warn you. Stopsat the -stations in the leis- urely journey of three days are social events. Settlers flock to the railroad to hear the latest gossip and to re- ceive the supplies which cannot be sent by road during the rains. Even In the days of radio, the railroad is still their one link With the outside world during the monsoons. 'Milk' and Cakes Made from Beans Running Ice Water The mail from Shanghai this week brings information that "milk" is be- ing made from soya beans, Irith which to' feed some 11,000 refuge children. daily. Another 20,000 are eating cakes mode from the beans. Shanghai never' has had Many cows, and anyway, cow's milk would be far too expensive to take care of the pres- ent refugee problem. Experiments grinding up the soya beans in Peip- ing some years ago showed that the milky liquid bears comparison with cow's milk in vitamin content, though deficient in minerals, particularly cal- cium_ However, these can, and are, being added to the local product. To the refugee camp, a grindstone was given, by a Ohinese friend, and this is the majorpart of the equip- ment needed for separating the milk from the beans. An American dairy whose plant had been bombed by the Japanese lent its delivery carts and bicycles. After deliveries started last November, with an initial output of 90 pounds, experiments were made to utilize the residue after the milk 'has been ground out. It was found that by adding flour, palatable cakes. and cookies could be baked. A large Chinese department store offered the use of its bakeries. When the city of Boulder, Colo., planned its water supply system, ttere was found no necessity for dig- ging wells, installing pumps, dam- ming streams, building filtration pants, or creating giant reservoirs. ,The city's engineers "lifted up their eyes unto the hills," some of which tose almost from the very streets. To the west, on the great ranges of mountains which mark the course af the continental divide through Colo- rado, they say snow fields and glac- iers so vast that the warmest sum- mers never melt them away. They saw also many lakes receiving and holding the run-off of water from the melting of countless tons of snow and ice. This water they found to be taarly ice cold, almost perfectly pure, and as "soft" as rain. Located at an altitude of 11,000 feet or more above 'the sea, these sparkling sheets of water were recognized as perfect Stor- age reservoirs,i for the city's water sunnlY.: The region surrounding them was uninhabited, almost Isolated, render- ing contamination, from outside sourc- es unlikely. Flailure of natural sup- ply was remote indeed, as a large percentage of the water issued' from two huge glaciers. These tremen- dous ice masses had been slowly slid- ing down the granite slopes of the continental divide for thousands of years, being constantly renewed in their cirques on the ihigh peaks, while their lower reaches melted under summer suns. And the engineers safely assumed that these processes would continue.

Yet the facility with which they enabled one to go far afield in a comparatively short time proved an irresistible fascination to Many dar- ing young men, who, deeming the tight knee pants and -ridiculous little skull caps of the wileelmen's, clan, sallied forth on their tall, precarious mounts to the delight of email boys and the admiration of the „ladies. But cycling was too tiring and haz- ardous a pastime to become really popular until the' invention in 1884 In parts of eastern Canada suitable for alfalfa seed production it Was formerly the practice to cut the first crop for hay and the second crop for seed. In the best seed producing ar- eas the first crop .is now taken 'for seed which is cut in August. In wet - ern Canada the cutting of the first crop for seed has always been the practice followed. A decision which is sometimes dif- ficult for the grower to make is in regard to the- prciPer time to harvest the crop for seed. Since alfalfa seed does not mature evenly due to the prolonged blossoming period, a plant may bear pods varying from ripe, which are dark brown in colour, to green and immature. Because the ripe pods shatter easily, there comes a time when more seed is being lost by shattering than is being replaced by the ripening of- the green .pods. Just before such a time is reached is the proper time for cutting.' This will be when about half to two-thirds ef the pods are brown. Much of the immature seed will mature in the swath. In seasons when a 'hay shortage is imminent the grower may be com- pelled to take the first crop for hay and if the second crop is podding up well it may profitably be cut for seed. The decision as to when to cut this crop should be decided by the aver- age date of the first fall frosts for the locality. If the crop is cut after a severe frost, not only is the germ- anability of the seed lowered but the sample will contain much disoolored seed resulting in a lower commercial grade.
