Sap Slow in Starting This Year .Most of the farmers that have sug- ar bushes, tapped their trees the lat- ter part of last week, but some were ready for the sap to run previous ev- en to that, but lip to Wednesday very little sap has been collected. How- ever, even though the 'collecting of the sap is much later than last year a good run can be obtained if weath- er conditions are good for this pur- pose.

Montreal—The expression "carry- ing coals to Newcastle" has found ,a counterpart in Canada in "carrying ice to Churchill," according to the Canadian National Railways, which has conveyed trainloads of ice to that port over the snow-covered line of the Hudson Bay Railway. The ice ,is being placed in large blocks in in- sulated buildings aad will be used in summer in the dining cars of trains to Churchill and at points on the line. Ice cut on inland lakes has been car- ried. to Churchill because it was found more economical to do so than to send men to the port to cut ice there. British Buying More Cars Belief in many quarters that 1933 will see increased buying of motor cars, both in .Canada and abroad, is supported by optimistic figures Of sales activity, especially in Great Bri- tt:in. ' One motor authority in Bri- tain' estimates the sales in Great 13ri- tain and Ireland this year will be at least 1'75,000, which would be a new high record. The best previous year was 1929, when 165,516 new cars were registered On Great Britain al- one). During 1932, the total number of new cars registered in Great Bri- tain and Northern Ireland was 156,- 030, and there seems every, prospect of the record figere of 1929 being beaten in 1933. A corresporicling up- turn in Canadian car sales is looked for, the manufacturers being encour- aged by the trend of the first quar- ter.
