Calgary, -Provided present ideal weather continues, threshing will be nearly completed south of this city by the end of the week. The bulk' of the threshing north of here should be fin ished by the same time, although a complete clean-up there is not expect- ed for three weeks. Threshing' returns, both south and north of Calgary, show. the yield per acre at least equal to the most sanguine expectations that were entertained even before August rains began. The grade will be low, but it looks once more like a total of 120,000,•000 bushels of wheat for Alberta, and an aggregate of 375,000,000 for all three Prairie Provinces. Barring belated and'unforeseen calamity, the Western farmers . will receive as much money for their wheat as they did in 1926, and 1925 was a prosperous year in the West.

CANADA'S .VITAL. INVESTMENT BY CHARLES w,' PETERSON, Accepting Prof. Irving Fisher's es- timate of average value to the state of 58,000 for each productive citizen, we may logically conclude that it would apparently be sound business to expend up to this amount .upon the maintenance, education and training of the native-born' child until it reach- es the productive age, or, in order to compensate for a falling birth rate, or to speed up settlement, upon propa- ganda and other effort to transplant in Canada an acceptable -person of productive age from another country. Records show that sitioe 1870 we have brought somewhat over 41/ million people to Canada at a direct cost to the government of 37 million dollars. Estimating the expenditure of th4 railways, provinces and other active agencies at an additional 45 million^ dollars, the aggregate cost would be 82 million dollars, as an average cosh per head of less than 520. Has Can- ada anada ever spent money more advan- tageously? dvantageously? Is it conceivable that ;any national investment could possibly yield greater returns? THE EUROPEAN POINT OF VIEW It is instructive to contemplate the unfriendly' attitude of European na- tions towards the emigration of their citizens, except to their own overseas possessions. No matter how lierrce the economic pressure, how widespread unemployment and distress, no pro- gressive nation deliberately promotes emigration to evacuate obvious surplus population. There is, on the contrary, a keen appreciation of the potential value to the state of the vital asset, and nations will go to . almost any lengths and incur the most fantastic expenditure on relief, to preserve this precious asset intact during periods of economic stress, in the hope of the un- employed population being ultimately absorbed in gainful production. THE SENSE OF HUMAN VALUES We in Canada lack almost compete. y this sense of human values. We sit ill bywhile y three hundred million dollars worth of our productive citi- zens, the flower of the nation, move across the boundary each year. Even the problem of their replacement gives comparatively small concern. For a country with our fabulous, undevelop- ed resources, it seems an amazingly unintelligent attitude of mind. The colonization problem in Canada is not in any sense a class problem. Every citizen, irrespective of occupation, has a direct financial interest in its effec- tive solution. If every class of the community would intelligently study the effect of an increased producing population upon its own fortunes, we would speedily create a favorable mass opinion on this subject. Natural Resources Bulletin. The value of agricultural research as carried out at agricultural colleges and . experimental farms is seldom fully appreciated says the Natural Re- sources Intelligence Service of the De- partment of the Interior at Ottawa, The commercial value of ' Marquis wheat has been widely heralded and undoubtedly it has added millions of dollars annually to Canada's wealth and status as a wheat -producing coun- try, but it is one of the few instances that have been sufficiently spectacular to catch the public eye. Agricultural research by both fed- eral.and provincial governments along lines of plant culture and animal breeding, diseases and blights, feeding 'and so on have undoubtedly added stupendous sums to the farming in- come of this country, much of this, work being done without recognition and without appreciation of its eco".- omic benefits. An excellent example is furnished in a statement recently made by J. B. Reynolds, president of the Guelph Agricultural g ral Society in particular ref- erence to the work of the Field Hus- bandry department of that institution. The one department, according to Mr. Reynolds, ]las been successful in pro- ducing, by selection and breading,; im- proved strains of oats, wheat and bar- ley. These improved strains have been broadcast over the province, and have enabled the farmers to increase the yield per acre in these grains during the last eighteen years by. over 5184,- 000,000. This extra wealth would have maintained over this period of eigh- teen years thirty colleges in the scale of the Ontario Agricultural College. • "Commonwealth of British Nations," His Majesty's Term London. - A .eignificant sentence mar King George's reply to the 102S - e of loyalty sent by the Imperial ference at its opening session, in w of the fact that practically oughout the Conference discussion, ar, there has been a reversion to old term "Ehipire" rather than mntenwealth," his Majesty's reply, which .was at the morning's sitting of the ference,' the • King observes: t'T I 1 follow with interest and syrn- ]ty' your diseussicns of those antant questions which will ()eine be - you, and the settlement of which, ust, will promote ,she' unity and tness of the Commonwealth of sell Nations. ma sa Con vie Hay, No. 2, per ton, car lots, $14 to thin $15. so .f Cheese, finest weste.. 1736 to .173tic• the "Co In read •Con shal pat port fore I tr groa Brit
