Ml summer and fall their axes ring, and all winter long the sleigh bells will jipgle an'd th•e tractors snort as the wood is haul- ed to the river banks. Canada's forests extend in a belt 600 to 1,300 miles wide. There are more than 160 recognized species of trees, of wihich 23 conifers, or soft- woods, and 32 broad -leafed species cf hardwoods are of considerable com- mercial value. The softwoods, in great demand for oonastruction' and the manufacture of pulp and gaper, comprise 80 per cent of the total stand and about the same proportion of the annual cut. The forests still occupy more than a third of the total land of the Dominion. Of the 783,000,000 acres of forest land 492,000,000 acres are 'capable of producing timber of commercial va- lue. In 1937 more than a third of all the manufacturing plants in Canada were dependent primarily on the for- ests for their raw materials. These industries employ an enormous num- ber of workers, The average amount paid annually in salaries and wages is $157,900,000. Twenty-five years ago a log was destined for the manufacture either of lumber or paper, but a log which this spring went bobbing and spinning down the rapids may turn up in the 1940' Easter parade as a slide fasten- er while another may eventually ern twine bh•e throat of the lumberjack's daughter as agayon scarf. No longer is the wood alone import - aut. Todaay chemical research and development puts "the emphasis on cellulose. Fifty per cent of spruce wood is cellulose, and from cellulose it is estimated that 10,000 articles in everyday use are now being made. Originally cotton linters, the short fibers left on the cotton after ginning has removed the long fibers, was the principal material for the man'ufac- tore of viscose products, the chief of which are cellophane and rayon. Then the increasing demand for these two products stimulated the chemists to corusider other sources 0f cellulose. Soon bleached sulphite ptilp, derived from the wood of the tall spruce, be - ban to replace 'cotton linters for this purpose. Already great Canadian industries (have arisen as the result of these dis- coveries. Rayon mills hum merrily in Ontario, New Brunswick and. Que- bec, turning out silky products )within the reaoh of everyone and, as recent- ly as 1932, a new outlet was provided for wood' pulp when the manufacture of cellophane was first commenced in Canada at 'Shawinigan Falls, Quebec, sianoe when the glamorous transpar- ent film has brought a new conception of Hygiene into many different fields. Thousands have found employment it these industries which use for the most part nothing but Canadian raw materials. As for exports, the average annual value of the sales abroad of wood, wood products, and' paper, exclusive of books and printed matter, during 1929-1933, was in: excess of $200,000,- 000 which was 24 per cent of the total exports of Canadian products. Thus the drive in the Canadian hinterland by a vast army of lumber- jacks, the majority of whom are French Canadians, is already a factor of innportanee to Parisian dress de- signers and the retail trade through th'e introduction of rayon and cello- :plta'ive, eeenis scheduled for an even more significant station in Canadian end world industrial fife, for when the dams are opened few years frown trove and .the first heads come changing down the creeks, they may bring with them a potential supply of oellulose for the myriads- of bhangs which the industrial ehemist has, yet to ,give the world. Present-day facts show the enormous value of the soft and hated timber which Canada pos- sesses in abundance. rs was when the Guards were Knightsbridge Balrraelos just pp andit was. a standing Order w'Itlk.t that Prix este was 'eau b4tlpols,' for the [(elderly officer.of She/dear, ars a consequence the ,Club was ways. crowded with members Of Brigade.

King Edward's favorite club wa the Marlborough, hard by his hos Marlborough House. He formed t club for the enjoyment of (himself an his friends. memberKing George VI is also a member o he Marlborough—of that and no of er. The Duke of Gloucester, th King's brother, belongs t6, the Mar borough, too, and 'the Bath, the Cat Ir•y, and Buck's; while the Duke of Connaught favors, next to the M'arl- orou-gh, the United Services, the rmy and Navy, the Guards', as be- ts an old soldier, and the Royal u tomobi le. The Princess Elizabeth is often at he Bath Club for swimming practice, nd here, in perhaps happier 'days, ing Edward VIII (as Prince of Vales) was a frequent visitor, keen or a friendly game of squash. But should a member of the Royal amity. appear in a Royal club it must of be supposed that the "divinity that) doth hedge a king" is forgot - en. The story runs that when King dward VII (then Prince of Wales as sitting one. clay by the fire a too resumptuous fellow member said Wales, touch the bell." "Wales' ouched it, and when the waiter ap- eared the Prince remarked "Waiter, indly order this gentleman's Gar- age." Foreign princes visiting London are ade temporary members of the arlboroug[h, and its ties with royal are very close, but against politics sets a granite face, as the late ke of Marlborough discovered to s chagrin when he gave a political ncheon 'to his cousin, Winston hurcbill, and some 40 other persons and inviter) reporters to be pres- nt. The Marlborough rocked totentsundat'ions. eu The peculiar distinction of the Athe- aen' among ;the clubs of London,.in- eed of the world, is hardly to be estioned. Standing on. the "sweet, ady side 'of Pall Mall," it is pecul- rly associated with the conception eminence, and has been likened to stage across which passes every dis- nguished figure in the higher walks art, natural s'cienoe, literature, the urch and the stage. It is the coco- on meeting ground of the great. The Athenaeum [has Always been ted for its silence and the solem- ty of its deportment, but 'with the assin[g of the years its oonversation- atmosphere has both lightened and igheened. Some of the older mem- rs of the club still bemoan the fact at, after a .hard struggle, the regu- tion as to the admission of visitors s been relaxed. For years the club ided itself upori the way that even e most distinguished non-members re kept from its sacred precincts. 1 sorts of celebrated folk have been reed away from the door. When r.. Ramsey- Ramsey- MacDonald was Prime inister and a member of the club, took a very distinguished friend ere with him.

IVINY farmers believe that Canadian hog prices fluctu- ate more than those of other important countries supplying ba- con to the British market This is not true. The graph clearly indi- cates that Danish hog prices are subject to similar fluctuations. Variations in the price of bacon on the British market are largely responsible for these fluctuations. In addition to these weekly fluctua- tions, the chart shows prices to be .higher during the summer months. Similar variations occur year after year. This suggests that many Cana- dian farmers might consider how to take advantage of this condition -- by adjusting their breeding practice so that more pigs will come to market when prices are normally highest. • For further information apply too Marketing Service DOMINION DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE OTTAWA Honourable James G.
