The modern trend to specialization on the Vim is clearly exemplified in Ontario, where snadditlon°to productiotiltflterple crops. farm land is being devoted to the groiwng of apples and tobacco on a large scale, the ranching of foxes and mink breeding of large flocks of high-class poul- try and turkeys. and even to muskrat ranching. Many farms are devoted ex• elusively to one or other of these various specialized lines. The financial attract- iveness of this plan of farming has been definitely established. The law in this country is so strict that a man serving five years for chicken steal- ing could not be allowed to return to his home at Hamilton to see his dying father, who has since passed away. It is to be hoped our judiciatry will think of this if some of our buck t shop manipulat< <s are found guilty of defrauding old people, women, and others of their hard-earned money. Sometimes we are asked by people why we do not publish the names of their vis- itors, while we publish the names of those visiting other homes. The only reason is because we do not know of these cases, and we have not received any notice of them. We would consider it a great fav- or if all those who have visitors or who have other items of local interest would inform us either peasonaily or by a note to the office. We are only too anxious 10 publiett these items that are of interest to many.

The present plan of averaging tourist expenditure at 810 per head per day is veriest guess work. Many tourists do not spend that amount in ten days and boast of the fact. The system of counttng tourists is also to un- dergo revision, it being shown that the same party has appeared no fewer than four times in the returns of four different parties. Supported by Provincial and Federal governments a movement is gaining strength to devise means of re-creating the fast vanishing local industry in the towns of Canada.
