Less Travelling Abroad and More
Money Being Spent At Home

One result of the financial strin-
gency which has been in existence for
over a year and a half now is ay
change in the tourist routes of the
population of the North American |
Continent. People who formerly went |
from the United States to France and |
other European countries have been
spending their holidays either ii: their
own country or in Canada, Our tour-
ist trade has ganied in consequence,
and that of France in particular has
lost heavily.

France lost not only from this side,
but from her own neighbours, the
heavy traffic from Britain and Ger-
many having fallen off to a very
small figure indeed this year. The
depreciated currency of the Old Coun-
try and of Germany played an im-
portant part in influencing both the
British and the Germans to spend
their money at home.

Canadians have been spending their
money at home, also, in a much larg-
er degree than formerly. The depres-
sion has done that much good if it
has taught them to know their na-
tive land better than they did. While
the argument that travel is broaden-
ing, informative, and cultural stands
good, that does not mean that it is
a good thing for anybody to neglect
their own country in order to learn
ubout others.

Those who benefit most from travel
are those.whp know their native land
best and are consequently able to in-
stitute intelligent comparisons and to
realize in what directions other coun-
tries are ahead of us. But it is an ex-
cellent thing for East to know West
and for both to know the centre of

day trips abroad in preference, As

Study Of Recenely: Bavaulegee
Schemes For The Prevention
Of Drought In Western | Canada

(By S. Barnes, Dominion Experimen-

fal Station, Swift Current)

study of recently formulated
schemes for the prevention of drought
in western Canada fails to give the
assurance that their adoption would
appreciably lessen the harmful ef-
fects of drought.

Two schemes for drought preven-
tion have received much prominence
in the press. Tree planting on a huge
scale is advocated, and also the stor-
age of water in reservoirs. Both
schemes, it is alleged, will add mois-
ture to the air and thereby induce a
normal rainfall.

Meteorologists are suspicious of
any scheme to promote rainfall since
so many of these schemes have failed.
The effect of trees inducing a nor-
mal rainfall can be easily determined.
It is proposed to plant 1,000 square
miles to trees. These trees, it has
been stated, will transpire each month
80 billion gallons of water in vapor
form, or a total for a period of six
monthss of 900 million tons of water.
These are impressive figures but the
area of land to be benefited is also
large. The drought area is given as
80,000 square miles or 51,200,000
acres. The 900 million tons of water
distributed over this area would give
a rainfall of slightly more than fifteen
hundredths of an inch, scarcely enough
to lay the dust, and it would take
six months to get ft.

The possibilities In the reservoir
idea are about as equally encouraging.
The total evaporation of water for
a six months period on the prairies is
approximately 30 inches.

The average water surface of a
number of reservoirs is given as 35
acres. If we assume the possibility
of increasing the natural rainfall by
one inch in a six months period, it
would be necessary to construct some
50,000 dams.

Both of the above schemes entirely
overlook the influence of the natural
factors which produce rain. Rain ts

Many People Could, But Prefer To
Bank Their Money

People with money in the bank who
refuse to settle just debts ought to

debt and has not the money to pay
it, but there is no excuse for the
former class. The Mount Forest Con-

visited by an officer of the King’s
household, who apologized very ele-
gantly for the incident, and returned

“Of course, there is nothing else
you can now do, except to plant trees
as fast and as hard as you can, and
as you have asked my advice on this
subject, I can only say ‘Plant and
keep on planting,’ as it is absolutely
the only ray of hope for your pro-
vince.” *

Taxes the Railroads

Ingenuity Needed For Special Hand-
ling Of Many Commodities

The ingenuity of the railroads is
taxed constantly by new types of
commodities coming on the market
Which demand special handling.
Neon sign tubes and live snails are
two items that demanded consider-
able experimentation before they
could be shipped satisfactorily. The
light tubes, extremely fragile, were
finally fastened to frames of chick-
en wire, which in turn were suspend-
ed by strips of old innertube inside a
solid box. The snails, which are in
great demand for aquariums, are
shipped in specially constructed cans,
similar to those in which live fish are
transported, and filled with the water
in which the snails lived before they
started travelling. Shippers pay to
have these containrs returned, as
the rough handling that “empties”
would ordinarily receive ruins them
for further use. Incidentally if you
want some live fishworms or water
plants, these can be satisfactorily
shipped also.

Canada’s Coinage

Now Is Good Time To Consider New
Five-Cent Piece

Canada took over the Royal Mint,
at Ottawa, on the first of December,
and has made
minting the coinage of the country.
It will occur to many people that this
would be an excellent opportunity for
the Mint authorities to consider the
nickel five-cent piece to which there
is so much objection on account of its
resemblance to a quarter-dollar, while
the design of it, with its two maple
leaves, is a very poor and miserable
one. There is also objection taken to
the small five-cent piece on account
of its smallness making it so easily
lost. Therefore, the Mint people
should consider an entirely new coin.

New Rocket Invented

Enables Boats To Travel Without
Screw, Propeller, Or Rudder

A rocket has been developed to
enable boats to travel faster than
any hitherto built, without a screw
propeller, or any kind of rudder. The
invention consists of a new propul-
sive apparatus, which might be
described as a submarine rocket,
driving the boat ahead by the ejec-
tion of gas through the stern, To
reverse the boat the gas is emitted
forward. To alter course the gas is
deflected, thus changing direction
without the friction caused by the
action of a rudder.

For several years experiments on
soil moisture, the fundamental fac-
tor in drought prevention, have been
conducted at the Dominion experi-
mental station at Swift Current, Sask.
At the same tim: inquiries for infor-
mation on methods of overcoming
drought haye been directed to
points throughout the world where
drought is experienced. Many com-
mon theories regarding soil moisture
have been dispelled and evidence has
been disclosed of important details
upon which present knowledge is very
meagre. There {s no evidence to in-
dicate that drought in western Can-
ada is in any way connected with the
system of farming practised or is
steadily becoming worse. On the
contrary the present agricultural
practices, the outcome of many years
of practical experience, are funda-
mentally sound in that they are de-
signed to make the greatest posible
use of the available moisture supply.

the task of still further increasing
