Canada led the world in 1922 in the export of raw furs to the United. States. The total fur •catch for that year was over.4,000,000 pelts, valued • at $16,000,000. While the general price of furs shows a downward trend, the 'total catch shows a re- markable increase. Four of the Canadian Pacific "Empress" 'liners, the Britain the France, the Scotland and the India, are to load grain at Quebec during the 1923 season, and new berths have been provided for these vessels near the grain conveyors, at a cost of $300,000. When she was alighting from a street car in Vancouver, Mrs. Rose McLaren received injuries which pee. vented her from concentrating and temporarily did away with her earn- ing arning power as a spiritualist or psychic reader. She was awarded $1,250 • against the railway company. The addition of the 17,000 -ton••• "Montlaurier" to the Canadian'Pa- cific "Mono Class" fleet marks an important development. Not' Only- is She the largest one -class -cabin' ship ' sailing to and from Canadian ports, but she is the largest in her class on the Atlantic. Her length is .613 feet' and breadth 68 feet. Because of her size she will sail to and from Quebec. Approximately 8,000 tons of silver ore are waiting shipment from the Keno Hill, Yukon, mines.' This quantity represents the wint4r haul. Another 2,000 tons may be moved this summer, making the total silver shipments ten thousand tons for 1923. Such an output is worth about $2,000,000, high grade ore running from $200 to $300 per ton. "The greatest feat of steam trans- portation to my knowledge,",said C. E. Stockdill, of the Canadian Pacific Railway, recently, "was the move- ment of the grain crop ofl 1922." From Sept. 1 to ' Nov. 31, aI period of 91 days, the Canadian Pacific Railway loaded and shipped an aver- age of 1,265 cars per day. This re- quiring the dispatching of a train every 45 minutes during thee entire period, carrying more than 1;000,000 bushels daily. This movement ex- ceeded even that of the bumper crop year of 1915. One of the many instances of the splendid work carried out ,at the Liverpool docks is afforded by the Canadian Pacific liner "Metagama." On a recent arrival at that port she started the discharge of her cargo and coaling at 6 o'clock in the morn- ing. Allowing for the usual dinner hour, she took on board in her side bunkers 1,000 tens Of coal, which was completed by 2.45 the 'same afternoon. )At the same time she discharged 1,700 togs of cargo, the greater part of which consisted of package freight, completing this operatidn by 7.15 the same evening.

Nearly every farmer has seena swamp area, a tow, fiat, "sour" field or odd corner of his own or - his neighbor's farm tiled and made !uta valuable productive land, and he is quite ready to agree that possibly for such high-priced crops as onions, celery, tomatoes, tobacco or sugar - beets it might pay to pretty thor- oughly horoughly drain a . whole area. :But the„ idea of giving as careful treatment to land that year after year gives fairly average yields of ordinary crops—grain, corn, potatoes or hay -- especially at present prices for these commodities, looks altogether out of reason. Besides, it has been argued,.

With ordinary mixed clover ane hay half a ton increase eat meet the cost of a 20 -foot system, while only in- creases of 334 and 20a pounds will take careof the 6 u foot and 100 foot lines.

Loans Made Under the Tile Drainage Act. Tile drainage is within the reach of all through the loans made pos- sible by the Tile Drainage Act. It is one of the safest and best paying investments the farmer can make. It is common for a system oftile drains to pay , for itself in three. or four years, and often 1n much less time than that. In other words, it Is an investment that will pay 20% to 25 % on everydollar invested, oyer and over, year atter year, turning a money losing or no profit crop into one showing a balance on the right side of the ledger.—Y.
