The meeting was called on the order of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, upon the authority of a resolution which was passed at the convention of the organization held in Regina in September of this year, i Follow'ng is the text of the resolu- ion: “Resolved that the Canadian Cham- ber of Commerce take the initiative | in an endeavour to secure the co- operation of agricultural producers, the trade, a number of outstanding business men, the Federal Depart-| ment of Agriculture, and of Trade and Commerce, and the Provincial De- partnents of Agriculture in bringing about the establishment of a Cana- dian institute of agriculture, whose | functions would include a thorough | and continuous study of agricultural problems and of marketing possibili- “ies in Canada and other countries, | the extension of existing markets and | the promotion of new markets; and the dissemination of information as| to the present and prospective re- | quirements of individual markets, as to quantity, quality, period of sup- ply and the sales and other channels Ubrough which such may be fully de- | veloped.” At the conclusion of the meeting | ® committee was set up to draft a constitution and while the general meeting did not go at any great Tength into detail, some indication of the type of organization to be set up, were taken at, | department store some time ago told, science within that period.

Professor James Ritchie of the chair of Na- tural History in the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, recently pointed out that 150 years ago, out of each one thousand individuals only 611 passed their third year, only 400 their twentieth, 140 their fiftieth, while at eighty only six were left. Contrari- wise, today, out of each thousand, 890 survive their third year, 836 their twentieth, 657 their fiftieth, while 133 live to be eighty or more.
