CA i'ADIAN WHEAT
FAR IN THE LEAD
The Canadian farmer has demon -
strafed time and time again that as
a producer of fine wheat Canada
stands second to none,: Tie superior
development attained by northern-.
grown grain is nowhere demonstrated
mare convincingly than at the Inter-
national Hay and Grain Show held
each December in Chicago.
At this, show' in 1933 Canadian ex
bib is again carried; the lion's share of
the Championship awards in the fol-
lowing classes, namely: Hard Red
Spring Wheat, Durum Wheat, Med-
ium Late White Oats (region 1). Ear-
ly Oats (region 1), Trebi Barley, Two
Rowed Barley, Rye, Flax, Soya Beans
(region 1 and 2), Large Field Peas,
Small., Field Peas, A.O.V. Field Peas,
Alsilte Clover, Timothy, Alfalfa (Wes-
tern section) and Navy Beans.
In the Hard Red Spring Wheat
Class, in which class Canada is natur-
ally most keenly interested, Canadian
entries were awarded the first thirty-
nine prizes. Seventy-seven awards
were made in this class, of -which fif-
ty -went to Canadian exhibitors.
Most of the prizes in the Hard Red
Spring Wheat Class went to the fam-
ous Canadian -bred, variety known as
Reward, which was developed by the
Cereal Division, Experimental Farm,.
Ottawa, Ont. This variety originated
from a cross'between Marquis and an
early ripening, high quality but rath-
er unproductive variety known as
Prelude. Since its introduction in the
spring of 1928. Reward has won first
, place in its class at Chicago each year
and has also been awarded the Grand
Championship over all varieties and
classes of wheat during the past four
years except in 1931 when a Durum
exhibit was awarded highest honors.,
It was also Reward which captured
the most coveted prizes at last sum-

that it is equally outstanding -from

CANADIAN NATIQNAL
RAILWAYS
The summary for the month of No-
vember, of the Canadian National
Railways was most encouraging. The
net revenue for November 1933 was
greater by $811,499 than that of the
same month for 1932.
On the operation for the first elev-
en months of 1933 the net revenue' is
over $1,000,000 less than the same pe-
riod of 1932, If December figures
show the increase that November has
the net revenue will be very close to
$18,000,000 or about equal to 1932.
An interesting feature of the state-
ment issued is that the operating ex-
penses for 1938 (up to December 1st,
have declined by $11,990,570, proving
that a real effort is being made to -
operate this system economically.
The system is still far from being
out of the woods and only time will
tell whether the people will continue
for years to come to pay through tax-
es the large deficits that are incurred
by the system.
