It will be the 19th annual tournament of the former and the third annual event staged by the C.F.V. organization. The two previous tournaments here of the C.F.V. Champion- ships aroused sufficient interest in provincial badminton circles to win recognition by incorporating the British Columbia Junior €vents on the card this year. Already this fact has provided wide publicity for this district evidenced by entries already received from such widely separated centres as several cities on Vancouver Island and Nelson in the Kootenays. Magnitude of the tournament staged last year and the much r arrangements necessary this year has aroused not only the interest but the admiration of our sports-minded neighbors in Washington. It is more than likely that there will be entries from Seattle and even Spokane and probably several carloads of spect- ators. It is gratifying to note that individual effort to assure the snecess of the double tournament this year is being augmented by such organizations as the Abbotsford and District Board of Trade and the Amateur Athletic Association. Public-spirited citizens and organizations can do much to assist and might communicate their willingness to those in charge. Last year’s event drew 398 entries , and the 1939 championships indicate a new record possibly exceed- ing 500 entries. Housing accommodation alone will be a problem requiring co-operation of the citizens. Dairy Products----Situation and Outlook : Recently in this column we drew ‘attention to the summary, : and suggestions contained in ‘‘The Agricultural Situation and Outlook’’ in regard to tobacco growing, an important industry 4m this area. From the same source we reproduce the summarized comment on dairy products for the information of those interested in the dairying industry who may not have sent to the Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, for a copy of this interesting _ publication. “There will be fewer cows on farms than in 1938, but on account of the abundant supplies of home grown feeds, during the first quarter of 1939, the production of milk per cow should ex- ceed that of the preceeding year, and the total production of milk will probably be slightly above the 1938 level. ‘‘Low butter- fat prices during this period may tend to have an adverse effect on dairy production later in the year. The domestic demand for dairy products should be somewhat better than in 1938 but com- petition from other countries is expected to retard any marked im- _ provement in the export trade. “The production of creamery butter in 1938 was the high- est on record, being approximately eight per cent above the 1937 output. Butter exports did not reach the level of the preceeding year, and due to heavy stock holdings, low prices are expected to continue during the early part of 1939. “Cheese production declined approximately seven per cent from 1937. Cheese prices for the first nine months of the year averaged slightly above those of 1937. Exports were somewhat low- “ er. The production of concentrated milk products in 1938 was ever 20 per cent above that of the preceeding year. Exports of these products increased but prices fell below those of 1937. “‘A heavy carry-over of both butter and concentrated milk products and the consequent low prices early in the year may caus: some diverson of milk from creameries and condenseries to cheese factories.’’ : The Country Weekly One of the most widely known daily newspapers on this con- tinent bas a kind word to say for the country weekly, in this case with regard to a newspaper published in Kansas in a town of 2500 pecple. It has won national recognition for its efficiency, and tells the world the story in close association with its masthead. And that should remind the people of British Columbia that they also have a superior weekly press, leaders of which will be here in executive conference this week-end as part of their assvc- iation program. The B.C. weekly press has frequently out-distanced its rivals throughout the country in competitive tests. Some of the up-coun- try aud Island papers are models of what such papers should be in rural communities. The Fraser Valley papers manage to hold their own for typography in spite of the proximity to Vancouver, and the intense competition of large dailies circulating in their territory. The country press of this province is exceedingly well dir- eeted, and in accuracy of reporting can often give points to the city dailies, due, perhaps, to the rush in which daily papers necessarily are produced. —The News-Herald, Vancouver Down Go Surpluses Down at Seattle now, there are only 13,000 pounds of butter im storage, as compared with 273,000 a year ago. Market condi- tions in the Pacific Northwest are considerably healthier, and they will be further improved when that advertising campaign to pro mote the use of butter is launched by legislative action. All members of the family ean be sold on the wisdom of spreading golden vitamins more thickly on their bread and hot cakes. No better investment can be made by our dairymen than this sales promotion plan; it will make surpluses melt away—like b atter ! —The Lynden (Wash.)
