' Now there acre big men in daary-
ing and fruit -wowing and in mixed
farming, and tther,e are astn'a,ll farmers
-manly of them) --who grow tobacco.
But never, probably, in all the history
of Ontario teeming, have hard-headed
business men, looking for an fnrviest-
mentr put so n neh money into the
souln' as have these' sponsors of the
province's newest ,big-time . crop -to-
baroo. -
Not that all tobacco mien go around
with broad smiles on their faces.
They grirrosble, too, like any good.
farmer, and (have .troubles of their
own- They worry about prices and
too little rain and not enough sun
and too msioh wind and any tell at
all and the possibility of frost.
• But it is the kind of worrying that
big business amen do, not the kind
that afflicts the farmer who wonders
if the ie going to break even on the
year.
"We are not; as a matter of fact,
interested in, ,breaking even," one to-
bacco man told me. "It costs a lot
of money to grow tobacco, and we
must make money on i;t - or we
wouldn't be in it."
You catch on to this feeling as soon
as you look over the great Beide of
broad-leaved tobacco. There's some-
thing impersonal about tobacco, row
after row after row, unbroken. There
is nothing of the "good earth" feel-
ing about it, like growing potatoes or
corn, that makes so many men con-
tent to wrestle with the dint year af-
ter year for a bare living.
And those kilns, gaunt and bare
and business -like, not friendly like a
barn.
There's no erne/Is-abate a tobacco
farm either. You'd think the whole
place would reek of the stuff. But
even when you crush a leaf and snuff
.it, there's only a green smell. it
takes Curing to make it the "fragrant
weed,"
But there's no doubt about it -
there's money in tobacco. Plenty of
money to be taken out after plenty
.of money has been put in. -
Take ,the case of Cecil Elliott, who
has 100 acres of tobacco in the Brock-
ville area, one of the newest dist •
of the ever-expanding tobas , oun-
try.
A $20,000 Profit
"We have put," said Elliott, "$30,-
000 into this 100 acres. And we
haven't taken a cent out of it yet.
But this is the first year we have
grown tobacco. This will be our first
crop. And if the rain and the sun
and the hail and tihe frost give us a
break, we may gross $50,000 on our
crop."
A $50,000 return on a $30,000 in-
vestment in one . year -and in farm-
ing! It seemed incredible.
"But," remi.ude 4 Elliott, "if things
go wrong, we uray be out a, sizeable
portion of that $30,000." So there's
an element of chance, of speculation,
about tobaeco, too.
• Anyway, Oatario's 4,000 tobacco
growers, large, medium and small,
expect to reap no less than $20,000,-
000 off their 77,000 acres in the crop
that is now being harvested. Away
back in the early drays of tobacco -
growing in Ontario -4n 1919, for ex-
ample -the growers received as high
as 58 cents a pound for ,their crop.
But in recent years the price has been
between 22 ane 30 cents. a pound. It
costs around 15 cents a pound to' pro-
duce tobacco.
Essex county is the centre of On-
tario's tobacco indus•tsy, but the acre-
age has increased almost every year
for .the past 20 years. New areas not
even considered for this crop a few
years ago are now planted to tobac-
cso, and the belt now extends .through
Kent, Norfolk, Lambkin, Elgin, Mid-
dlesex, Oxford and, most recently,
Brant county. • This year's ;high acre-
age of 77,000 may be greatly increas-
ed in the near future, if suitable, sant
dy soil can be found suitable for to-
bacco -and if Canada's 50 -cent pre-
ference in the English market makes
it possible for 'this country to "steal"
a portion of the huge United States
export to Britain --140,0'00,000 pounds
a year. ;%Canada's "bright Virginia"
tobacco is !almost identical with the
United- States product, and already
England buys several million pounds
a year here, proving that Canadian
tobacco is acceptable to Englisch
smsokers.
Hundreds of men are suffering
sleepless nights in the •tobacco belt
this time of the year. They are take
expert curers, many of them south-
erners, who tend! the kilns by day
and by night. On their care and skill
rests the fate of the crop. In the
three or four days of curing, the best
leaf may he spoiled., and turn out to
be worth only half the market price.
If you could listen in to the whole
of the tobacco area these nights, you
would hear a great symphony of tink-
ling alarm clocks as curers, cat -nap-
ping beside their kilns, are awaken-
ed to check their temperatures.
No father of a new-born babe is
more alert to catch the faintest cry
of bis pride and joy in the still of
the night than are these curers to
the music of their alarm clocks,
warning that their kiln -full of tobac-
co needs attention. Even heat' is ;the
important thing here. Too much or
'little may ruins a fine batch of

Hundreds of Belgian families, too,
moved into Omtario.as tobacco work -
era Many started growing craps in
shaves, and: eventually 'became inde-
pendent farmters. The little town of
Delhi, for example, in the heart of
the tobacco country, becomes much
like a Belgian village on market days
and holidays, Recently an elaborate
bicycle track, said to be one of the
best in Canada, was oantetructed at
Delhi. Cycle raoes are the favorite
'sport of the Belgians.
The farmers .cure -their own tobac-
co in wooden kilns, Some 15 kilns
are needed for 100 cores of tobacco,
and they ;cost $550 each, oonsume
four tons of coal and four cords of
wood, at a total cost of $46, 'during
the time of curing.
Tobacco is grown frame: steed which
has the consistency of durst- There
are no fewer than 350,000 seedta in a
single ounce, and an ounce and a. half
will grow seedlings enough to fill a
greenhouse 100 feet Tang by 22 feet
wide. The seeds are planted in wood
ashes, in perforated cant. The green -
'houses, incidentally, are not artificial-
ly heated., but the temperature is
maintained by the beat of the sun_
Manymore seedlings than are
needed are grown. Only, the sturdier
plants, are selected for the fields.
At the age of six weeks the seed-
iings are transplanted. By the mid-
dle of August the leavens are turning
yellow, and are ready for picking. Us
ually the pickers ;work in gangs of
ix under a "boes ,pieker."
The leaves ripen "from! the ground
up." The first picking will take those
nearest the ground, about .three leaves
Prem each plant. A field will have
to be picked as often as four or five
times, • until the topmost "layer" has
been taken off. Only skilled pickers
rrc employed, 81008 much of the va-
lue of the tobacco is lost if the
itavess ane damaged.
As the pickers pass along the rows
'which are 41 inches apart, they place
the leaves in a (horse-drawn "boat,"
a narrow canvas oontainer on run-
ners. 'As each boat is filled, it goes
at once to the kilns, since it is im-
portant that the curing prooese begin
as soon as possible after picking.
Nimble-fingeredgirls then take cov-
er. Two assistants pass • leaves, three
or. four at a time, to the tiers, who,
with a quick flack of the fingers, fas-
ten them on alternate sides of a four -
foot lath, When the "stick" of some
112 leaves is'acompleted, it is passed
up to a worker in the kiln, who plac-
es it On a rack. Each kiln holds 1,-
250 to 1,450 "sticks," ruching nearly
to the roof.
• Fast Work
These skilled girl "stringers" pro-
vide the one bit of fast action in the
'harvesting of tab�a000, which other-
wise is quiet and unspectacular- For
months the leaves have grown and
matured. After they have been cur-
ed, there need be no ;hurry in hand-
ling theta. But in those minutes be,
tweed tale picking of the leaves and
the. begininin;g of their heat treatment
every mirntute counts. The leaves are
as, perishable as .fish after they are
(hauled from the water.
A good sitningesr can loop cher hands
of leaves es fast as two helpers can
hand thtem from the "boat." She
stands -beside a wooden "horse"; a-
enes which is placed a four -foot lath.
The helpers hold the hands of three
or four leaves high on the stalk, and
tith 'one swift movement the strin-
ger grasps them, loops a length of
string around the stalk, and lets it
fall to one side and the other, alter-
nately, of the lath. They leaves fair-
ly dance into position under the fin-
gers
ngens of a facet stringer. Then up the
"sticks►' go, into the kiln to become
tobacco as we know it. -
Flue'cured tobacco is by far On-
tario's largest crop or the "weed,"
and it is thas tobacco that is respon-
sible for the Western Ontario boom.
Burley, grown for tall a century, cov-
ers fewer than 10,000 acres, compar-
ed with lever 60,000 acres for flue -cur-
ed. But burley growers are prosper-
ous, too, and stick faithfully to their
choice., Burley is darker, its used
largely for chewing tobacco and some
pipe biends, and does not require the
same elaborate curing as, the Virginia
bright. Some 2,700 acre's are grown
to "dark tobacco," used for bleeding.
The leaves are dried at 80 degrees,
then the furnace is stepped up to 110
degrees for the coloring pi'ooesis and
the curing is finished off at 18g) de-
grees. This takes three or four days•
during which the leaves lose 75 per
cent. of their weight. A cured stick
of leaves weighs about a pound and
three-quarters.
The colorful tobacco auction of
the south, with the queer' babbling
jargon of the auctioneer, are not held
in Ontario. Instead, tobacco• growers
visit the farms and make an offer for
the .cured crop. '
After that, it goes to help make
the seven billion% cigarettes (yes, 7,-
000,000,000) that Canadians smoke
each year. e

The Romance
of Commerce
(By W1 McL. Clarke, F.I.C.S., in Can-
adian Busdnees)
Oommenoe dates back to even be-
fore the dawn •of history. Perhaps
the finst recorded (trade and money
transactions in the world was the pur-
chase by Abraham ;of the cave and
field of Maolvpelath, as a burial place
for Sarah, tie wife. A woman, too,
was the avowed prompting ,of one of
the most compenetsttng trade missions
of all times, for although ;the beauty
of famed Helen of Greece led the
Aohaean chieftains ;to sal aoross the
Aegean dal their high -beaked ships, it
was really the treasure (house of Troy
that warranted this marauding expe-
dition. It was 'because Chaldean wo-
men wanted 'precious stones and fe-
male help that ardent caravans went
east to the great wails of China as
many years. before Christ as we are
after Eon. It was because Ring
Minas of Orete ;desired trade ;to brisllg
him the things the and this court moat
coveted Abet he put, down piracy. Ly-
dian eyes ,sparkled when they saw
the glint of the ftlt gold coins, an
invention whikdh was just. as Import-
ant as the gold ;discoveries of Cali -
females the Klondike, Australia and
the Rand a and • which signalizes, in
fact, one of the chief .legacies of the
'ran ciIan t time% to the progress of the
wtoeke
Commerce, therefore, is older than
histery. 'nets we know beeause arch-
geological discoveries reach back into
the past, far beyond the time of the
earliest historians, and show us the
irnniense antiquity and riomaace of
trade.
In 1492, Columbia', in the service
of the King aned Queen of Spain, gaz-
ing forward over ;the waters of the
undhartered Atlantic which he had
been traversing for many weeks in
his diminutive Caravels, espied in
the distance, through the dankness
and ;the meet, a light of what was
doubtless a glowing fire of native Inr
drrans or. Caribs on one of the Ba-
hamas. Ames ca was discovered and
the cornerstone of S'prain's Colonial
Empire was 'laiid,, with its treasure
garfeons, buecaneers and lavish opul-
emree This original ;adventuring and
the isubsequent pillaging of the Inca
and Aztec empires was romance and
yet behind the rommance was the lure
of trade.
Columbus set sail not to find a new
world but to reach India and to bring
the gens and spices of the storied
East to Europe by a water route
whiesh he believed would be more ac-
cessible than the old overland and
long distance caravan road across
the mountains and desserts of Central
Asda. It was a similar desire to
trade with the Far East that sent
the eaptaiins of Prince Henry the Nav-
igator to explore the coast of West
Africa, seeking sea rants for their
ships to the fabulous lands about
which Marco Polo had written. Viseo
de Gama ,rounded the Cape of Good
Hope to secure the riches of the Ori-
ent for his master, the King of Portu-
gal. Jacques Cartier, drawn by the
same lodeesteate, •sadsled into the Gulf
of St. Lawrence and explored the
shores of the Baie de Ohaleur. Sam-
uel
la -
uel de Champlain, ascending the St.
Lawrence River more titian three ;Cen-
turies ago, still sought the magic
path of Lachine. Hudson, with the
same hope of finding the Northwest
Passage to the Spice Islsamds, was set
adrift by his own crew in the bay
th'at bears 'dies va,me. Drake's world •
cruise In the Golden Hind; was un- '
doubtedl'y the most brilldaat piece of
seamanship ever accomplished by an
English navigator; but •it also Mark-
ed an epoch in cominercial history,
as his gallant piracy proved that the
Spanish and Portuguese trading mon-
opolies could be frustrated.
Trade has ever been the forerun-
ner of discovery. It ,hats also been
tee handmaiden of culture and civiliz-
ation,. Litenature, painting, sculpture
and the fine arts trust all pay tnibute
to commerce as its sponsor and bene-
factor. The winds •of commerce have a
wafted the seeds of science; its Ar-
gosiee have presented men with those
tangibles which retoucth the standards
of Iflvfltng,
dies, Muscovy or Rugsda, commerce
took on what we may, term an inter -
motional ohauraetem,
Modern Commerce
irdern commerce did not make Its
appearance until the beginning of
the 19th loentury. The fact that so
much importance at this time was
attached .to the trade in sugar, to-
bacto and tea 'is au ttndisoation of the
change wlhtit& shad come over long dis-
tance tradle. 'Commerce was now' sup-
plying • the neceas riles of the many,
rather -than .the 'tluxuedes of the few.
,Sine ;these . indispensabies were, only
to be obtained in •exchange for other
geode, the increasing demand pro-
moted other industries in the trading
countries. England, which had at-
tempted to use Colonial staples in
order to .become a nation of .shop-
keepers, 'found herself converted into
the workshop of the world, and her
own and our present economy was
foresihadbwed.
A series of nseohaanical inventions
such as the steam engine, the spin-
ning
pinming jenny, and the power loom,
swept away domestic industry and
brought into existence the modern
factory system. Men no 'longer work-
ed in their, cottages, turning out a
cin plete ;product, but were employed
alt only a single operation in a fac-
tory. So industrial society was or-
gamized du accordance with thee prin-
ciple of the division of labour•. The
production of goods was expanded to
such an extent that they Eould no
longer be consumed in the home mar-
ket and had to be sold abroad- Al-
though England was the first to en-
ter this' stage of international' 'econ-
oany and hence, of world marketing,
?this industrial phenomenon gradivally
'extended itself among the Western
States of Europe.
Industrial Reformation
The flying of ehuttles, the, scream
;of whistles, the whirling of machines
may not have, one can claim, the
same ;romance as the old spinning
wheal, the madrigals of the hou,se-
wife and the handicrafts of the fire-
side. England may have achieved a
remarkable • prosperity superfieiatly,
but did the economic welfare .preju-
dice the enelal conditions? What a-
bout ithe starvation wages, the long
hours, the child labour, the unhealthy
housing and plant conditions, the
harshness and injustice of life? It
was these very things which provid-
ed
rovided a challenge, welch became the ro-
mance. Reformers appeared. Mill
thundered against the administration
ori justice "els that most peccant part
of English Oonettitutions,"- Sir Robert
Peel, an employer himself on a large
stale, was sincere do has advocacy
when he claimed that a solution to
the welfare problems would only
come about with a change of mind
on the part of employers in general
and the development of a !tore pa-
ternal and kindly spirit. Lord Shaft-
esbury became the champion, you
will recall, of social legislation; Rob-
ert Owen of Trade Unionism ; Lord
Grey of the Reform Bill; Macauley
of Liberalization. Efforts were be-
gun In the early 19th century 'days
which have sservee as beacon lights
to guide auocesaiive generation in
their 'approach •to Capital -Labour re-
lations. We have not yet, by any
Means, reached the optimum in the
appTicatrion of the social sciences but
wee have gone a long way forward
from the sexpenimeenital stage. In fact,
Om growth of ihumiatn interestedness,
of genuine unselfishness, of the re-
alistio attitude toward our social
pnobletms oan the part of the better -to-
do is a eery •envelotped in an ;atmbss-
ph'ere of dmaginaltdon and romance.

soinetfinies condemn the capitalistic
systema and sail its works. How un-
eonseious their must be of their stu-

of the pouring out of the milk of hu-
man kindness, The distance we have
travelled along the Samaritan road
of gaodhvidl and of effective social
happiness as a story of intense ro-
mantic interest. •
Turning to -she romance of our own
oommaeree, we recall that Canada, a
land of only eleven minion and not
three 'generations Old as a nation, is
amiong the first five trading countries
of the worldt To this status, we have
comae because of the native, wealth of
our coutnitn-y and because of the kind;

Use of Money
The first use of money miarks • an
eta in the history ,of commerce- In
fact, it is the beginning of commerce
.as we know it. It. seems, now but a
simple. piece of imagination on the
part of the grazer in that early dark -
erred land of like world --tee Euph-
rates Valley -who, tired of goading
his slow ox to and fro among his
neighbors until he could trade it for
corn or ail, took a bit of leather and
svm atohed on it the outline of an ox
-in Latin, Pecus--and called it Pe-
cuzela or money, which these pastoral
people came to accept for their pro-
dince as the leather represented va-
lue. Yet 14 was in this primitive way
that barter was supplanted -by money
as the medium of exchange. in due
time, the leather money became gol-
den and later paper and credit in-
struments were established. The Ina-
aginetiventess of the Babylonian far-
mer was romance.
After the collapse of the Roma.n
Empire, international trade lapsed In
the Dark Ages, reviving again w,lth
the Crusades which 'stirred the wh!'le
European world and opened trading
avenues again with the Near East and
the Mediterran an. Trade Was still
mainly in arties of luxury • for the
wealthier classes. Guilds supervised
the crafts' and developed) the retail
trade. The po'werrful Hanseatic
