Tho Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the. Dept. of the `Interior at -Ottawa says: - Canadian farmers this year have been blessed' with good crops almost generally throughout the country. Not only -as this true of wheat, -but it ap- plies also to coarse grains and fod- der. What is of equal importance is the feet that satisfactory prices are, being received for the produce. The cuinulative effect of this: good result will be that the farmers will havemone:y,to spend. Mtich of this spending is expected to take the form I of a trip back, home -wherever that maybe. Canada needs a greatly increased agricultural: population, and undoubt- edly tate hese advertisement she can have is the good word of those who have been "successful here.' Whether old' theham in 'Great, Britain b. , a r r the United- States,' the visit can be made of value to the farmer's -adopt- ed country:, , Canada'ie the, Canadian people, ;it is made up of units, and each individual has.his or her part to, play. As we aro earning our living here it behooves' us to interest our- selves in the upbullding of our coun- try. There is an old saying. that it is the person with a grievance who makes the most noise, while the satis- fied -individual is rarely heard front. Canada has her proportions of the former --they are to be found every- where -but they are, fortunately;, very largely 'tithe minority. -If those who have been successful in Canada would but remember when visiting the old .home that they are missionaries for "thio new country, and will use their ,influence to induce new settlers betake up our agricultural lands that are to -day lying idle, it will be to the advantage of Canada and to every- one in it. When opporb.tnity,arises, therefore, 'whether it be across the water or south of the 'border, be loyal' to the cophtry that is providing your 'bread and butter as well as enabling you to visit the old home. ; Paris Food Prices Still Rising. A' despatch from Paris says: -The ,steady rise in the cost of diving in Paris has become such a regular fea- ture of life here that it is now- ac- cepted almost without comment. Fruit, in spite of the fact that this is said to have been an excellent' year for yields,is about 200'per cent. high - e5 than a'. year. ago, `While idsef-'has, risen about. 35 per cent. in the last twelve months.. , Even potatoes have gone up in price about 20 per cent. - r 1world is tree do .the The smallest the Greniand birch; itsheight is less than 3 inches. World's Wheat Crops. .. 'A detpatch from Ottawa say': - Official estimates of this year's wheat crops have been received from 28 countries" of the Northern Hemi- sphere, including every wheat` grow- ing country of importance 'except ' France. The 'total production of' wheat in these countries is 2,519,000,- 000 bushels, as compared with 2,548, 000,000'.1ast year, and 2,436,000,000, the averago°af the five years 1919-23. 'This is an. :_increase of 171,000,000. bushels over last year, but it should. 1,0 remembered that last year's crop was an :exceptionally small. one. -This year's production is far below that .of. 1923 when the 28 countries included above produced 2,725,000,000 bushels or 207,000,000 more than in 1025.
