Fifty-two Years
The War Cry last week spoke editor-
ially as follows: -It is now fifty two
years ago since the Founder of The Sal-
vation Army took his stand on Mile Elul
Waste and started the Campaign for
God and souls, which resulted in the
formation of the world-wide Organiza-
tion into which, under Divine blessing,
that brave endeavour has grown. Vain
indeed, would. be any attempt to sum
up the blessings and benefits which
have come to the world with The Sal-
vation Army, Salvationists everywhere
will at this time unite in praising God
for all His goodness and in renewal of
Consecraion to the great purposes for
which The Army has, we believe, been
called into being. Neither will the
occassion, we are sure be allowed to
pass without fervent petitions being
made to God for The General and Mrs.
Booth, and all associated with them in
the direction of affairs, that upon them
may be bestowed all grace, wisdom and
power needed for the discharge of the
onerous responsibilities which devolve
upon them.

erence to other ceraals, is extended.

where prosperity has made the peo-
pie disdain the rve bread. which 1.."LiN
the Staple food of their forefathers.
The war however has put a check on
the consumption of luxurious loods
in almost all countries -
The United States for many years
sent Europe the greater part of her
import food supplies and during
the present war the .4d state of af-
fairs has again been witnessed to a
large extent.
The Empire's Grainary,
In our own Dominion although
more wheat is being grown this year
in the south eastern provinces vet
the great granary remains on the
rich prairies of Saskatchewan, Al-
berta and Manitoba. Estimates of
the yield this year based on ideal
climatic conditions have placed har-
vest as high as 300,000,0u0 but such
speculations are of course futile. Sas-
katchewan will probably produce be-
tween fifty -live and sixty per cent.
of the Dominion aggregate yield. In
1915 the total production was 231,-
717,000 and it is hoped with favorable
weather to far exceed this banner total
this year,
So far as export is concerned Can-
ada is naturally handicapped by the
ice -bound conditions of some of the
eastern ports which increases the
rail haul of the grain in transit to Liv-
erpool.
In the New England States the
summers are too short and the win-
ters too severe to be well adapted to
wheat production, while the fertility
of the soil is not such as to counter-
balance these drawbacks. In New
York State, Maryland and Pennsyl-
yenta conditions are more suitable,
The South -Eastern states do not
stand high with rebard to wheat
growing and their land is largely de-
voted to other Crops. The North-east
central plains -north of the Ohio and
east of the Mississippi -have long
been foremost in wheat growing but
of late years, partly owing to the
opening, up of new lands in the West
production has had a tendency to-
wards other spheres of agriculture,
west of the Mississippi and • east of the
Rockies whenever the rainfall is suf-
ficient much wheat is produced.
Further west there are many fertile
districts which raise grain.
Declining Exports
It was in 1900 that the United
States reached the top mark of her
wheat exports sending 216,000,000
bushels across the seas. Since then
the export has steadily declined. In
considering this fact it must be re-
membered that the population of the
United States is increasing rapidly
and the home consumption thus rises
yearly. The outbreak of the Great
War caused the price of wheat on
this side of the Atlantic to rise from
small beginnings until it reached the
record price at which it is now fixed
by the government. This high price
has naturally proved a stimulus to
production. Although it is still pos-
sible for production to be extended
considerably beyond the limit at

763,0meocto bushels or about five
times that ai Canada. And this was
harvested in spite of the most primi-
tive methods of agriculture.
Owing to the disorganization which
prevails in RUSSia much land has
probably been allowed to go out of
cultivation in the past year and time
will be required to bring the land
into working order again and also to
readjust the distribution of existing
stocks. Even in days of peace fam-
ine reigned in some parts of Russia
while others enjoyed plenty simply
through . laek of means of transpor-
tation and organization,
The year before the war Austria-
Hungary raised 228.00.000 bushels,
ee of this being raised in Hungary,
but even at that time the home
consumption was in excess of this
supply. The same holds good with

CANADA'S FIRES
COSTING $2,73
PER INDIVIDUAL
The Conservation Commission
Points to Nation's Enormous
Waste-"Comper Carefulness
-Several Important Recom-
mendations Are Made to
Government.
Ottawa, July 4, -Canada's annual
fire waste is$j.73 for every man, wo-
men and child, and larger than that of
any other civilized country in the
world„ according to a most exhaustive
report by the commission of conserva-
tion on fire waste in Canada, just made
public. This enormous waste, the
commission asserts, Is sapping the
vitality et the country and immediate
adoption of compulsory fire preven-
tion measures is necessary. The In-
vestigation reeords the fact that the
present increase of fire insurance in
Canada is unduly high and that there
are grave abuses inheritant in the
present agency system.
The report which was complied for
the commission by .1, G. Grove Smith,
says that since confederation fire loss
in Canada, excluding forest fires, has
been $7oteeoteerem, Of thins sum
5350,000,000 is made up of direct fire
losses. $150.000,000 represents the
oost of maintaining public and privete
fire protection services, while eit97,-
Ootecem is the amount of insurance
burned to death and about 500 ser-
iously injured by fire every year.
In the four normal years, 1912-
1915 Canada's annual- per capita fire
loss was .32.73, as compared with
$2.26 in the United States, 74 cents
in France.. 2S cents in Germany, t3
cents in Switzerland and 64 cents in
England. A disquieting feature is
that the losses in this country are in-
creasing with great rapidity. The
commission says most of these fires
are caused by careless, arson and lack
of fire prevention laws, such as exist
being but poorly enforced.
Canadian fire departments are
described as the best in the world, but
they are not preventing a steady
growth of fire los.ses.
Compulsion, the Remedy
In dealing with the remedy for pres-
ent conditions, the cotnmission says
that compulsory legislation, making in-
dividuals reseonsible for their own
carelessness, is imeerative. The pub-
lic, it is asserted, must be aroused to
their responsibility so that public opin-
ion will urge and support such legis-
lation. The Dominion Government,
now being given direct jurisdiction by
the B. N. A., act, should, the commiss-
ion thinks, conduct a campaign to
educate the public to their responsib-
ility. The purpose of this would be
to assist provincial fire prevention
efforts, The Dominion Government it
is said should also maintain a testing
laboratory to establish standards In
building materials and devices.
Fine for Insurance Companies.
The commission contends that the
high cost of doing business implies ex-
travagant administration, and says that
front 1869 to 1910 the public has paid
the insurance companies 65 cents for
distributing every dollar of indemnity.
The report asserts that insurance
agents in 'Canada are paid on the aver-
age a commission of slightly over 20%
obviously a large expenditure on mid-
dlemen, It is also stated that the num-
ber of agents is excessive, circum-
stances which makes necessary a higher
commission.
"The root evil of the insurance bust.
ness and one ,•1 the greatest factors in
the excessive tire waste in Canada is
undoubtedly the method of compensat-
ing agents solely on a commission
basis." the report declares.
The remedy for this ,the commission
states, is a profit-sharing cotnmision •
for agents, whereby those who write
good risks would be more highly re-
munerated than tkoSe who write bad
ones,
