Ebitorf a!
—In the first half of the nineteenth
century but one ruler was murdered.
In the second half a dozen perished by
assassination in Europe alone, and al-
though but six years have elapsed
since the opening of the twentieth
century already three rulers have met
a tragic fate.
—"It is estimated" says the United
States Department of Agriculture,
"that of the world's population, of
1,500 millions, about 500 millions regu-
larly wear clothes ; about 750 millions
are only partially clothed, and 250
millions habitually go almost naked.
To clothe the entire population of the
world, would require forty-two million
bales of cotton annually. This is far
below the annual product.
* —La Petrie, inan article on the
Lord's Day Act, states that, as the
measure has passed into law, it will
not have any very material effect
upon the observance of Sunday. At
all events, it can be suspended by the
provinces, and is thus an innocent
enactment. Apparently, although the
Laurier Government has put this Act
on the statute book, the work has
been so done that nothing will come
of it. It seems clear that the Act has
been so drawn that it need not be
operated anywhere, and that it can-
not be operated where the Attorney -
General of a province likes to set it
aside.
—One of the complications arising
in San Francisco after the fire result-
ed from the burning of title deeds,
and consequent destruction of the evi-
dence of ownership of property. A
novel way of meeting the difficulty
has been devised. The California
Legislature at its recent session pass-
ed a law which provides that anyone
who has lost his deeds may establish
his title, by bringing suit in court
and summoning any rival claimant
to appear. When the title is clearly
proved the court will give a deed.
In this way many long-standing con-
tests over titles will be settled, and
few records to business property will
go back before the fire.
**
—There is a good prospect that flax
fiber is to take the place of sisal and
manila in the manufacturing of bind-
ing twine. One twine company is now
negotiating with farmers throughout
the flax -growing district, with a view
of buying this year's flax crop in the
bundle. They have spent some years
experimenting with flax as a material
for binding twine, and claim to have
perfected a process Which is now in
operation that gives results which are
entirely satisfactory. They also claim
they can produce a binding twine that
is in every way equal to sisal or stan-
dard twine, and at a much lower price.
As running the straw through the
threshing machine destroys it for
making first-class twine, they are con-
tracting to buy it in the bundle, Flax
for this purpose should not be less
than twelve inches in length from the
butts to the lowest branches. It
should be reasonably free from weeds,
and should be cut with a self -binder
as close to the ground as possible,
thereby giving it the greatest length
of fiber. The instructions to the far-
mers who propose to grow flax for
fiber are to carefully shock and leave
it in the field until it is well cured.
When sufficiently dry for baling or
for stacking, it will be delivered in
bundles at the nearest railroad station
where it will be received and paid for
according to its quality. The twine
manufacturers will bay the entire
crop. They can only use the straw
when it has been kept straight.

THE BURDEN ON ONTARIO.
(Weekly Sun)
Ontario farmers produce in oats
alone over one hundred million
bushels a year ; of barley they grow
some twenty-five million bushels, and
the hay crop of the Province runs
in the neighborhood of five trillion
tons in a normal season.
Stupendous figures are they not?
But they represent only part of the
great wealth wrested from the soil by
the labor Ontario fanners put upon
that soil.
Where does all this money go to ?
It would take over one-half the value
of the crops named, and of all other
Ontario field crops, to meet the ex-
penditures to which the Dominion
Government has committed this coun-
try for the nine months which began
a few days ago.
True, all the expenditures authoriz-
ed by the Dominion Government do
not come out of the resources of On-
tario. It is safe to say, however, that
40 per cent. of the burdens imposed by
the Parliament at Ottawa do fall up-
on the shoulders of the tax -payers of
this Province. Assuming this to be
correct, it follows that the responsi-
bility for nearly twenty-nine millions
of the outlay of the next nine months
must be assumed by Ontario. This
represents about onelifth of the value
of all field crops In this Province in an
average year. A fairly heavy tax, is
it not?
