In classes of wheat limited to
grain from fields entered in stand-
ing grain competitions James Car-
negie, of Belbeck won first prize.

In the corresponding classes for
new exhibitors, A. Robbins, Laura,
was first in Marquis, and G. Mooney,
Imperial, in the class for other varie-
ties. All of the prizes in the class for
varieties other than Marquis go to
exhibitors of Reward wheat.

There is an unusually strong entry
in corn in both the sections for the
north half and that for the south

ern section, P. G.*Colquhoun, Maple

For the northern half, H. S. Williams,

Trade With China

Demand For Canadian Flour and
Wheat In Chinese Market

Inquiries for Canadian products
have been received by L. M. Cos-
grove, Canadian trade commissioner
at Shanghai, as a result of the recent
visit of the Canadian trade delega-
tion to China. Mr. Cosgrove finds the
visit helped to create an atmosphere
of goodwill.”

Normal trading will likely be re-
sumed during the spring of 1931.

Fair transactions have recently
taken place in Canadian flour and
Canadian wheat.“ Lumber exports to
China have shown an increase and,
due to direct steamship service from
British Columbia, Canadian lumber
now occupies a prominent place in
the Chinese market.

In Times Like These
“What the country needs is men
of action, in politics as well as in
business,” declared Hon. Alfred Du-

ranleau, K.C., Minister of Marine, in|

an address before the Canadian Club
at Toronto. ‘They alone can put a
stop to the trade depression which
this country and all other countries
have suffered in the last couple of
years.”

tains the following item: “Three

of nuts, and during their sitting
drank six bottles of port wine, and no
other liquor.””

Live, Stock Improvement

Dr. Ruddick, Dominion Dairy Com-
missioner, Says Matter Needs
Attention
Periodical testing of herds and di-
rect efforts at improyement of stock
are the most important questions be-
‘fore the dairy farmers of Canada,
‘said Dr. J. A. Ruddick, Dominion
Dairy Commissioner, who addressed
the annual convention of the Dairy-
men's Association of Eastérn On-

tario,

Farmers were feeling the pinch of
low prices, but, he said, the average
\farmer “is losing very nearly if not
| quite as much every year by his fail-
lure to give attention to this matter
es he is through the drop in values
‘at the present time.”

“The average annual yield of milk
per cow in Canada is now thought
to be about 4,500 pounds, or the
equivalent of just about 400 pounds
| of cheese. If this yield were increased
by 30 per cent., which is easily pos-

| sible, it would be equal to an increase |

|of two dnd one-half cents a pound on
| the original 400 pounds of cheese at
/15 cents a pound after allowing for
;the cost of manufacture,” Dr, Rud-
dick said._

From reports already received, the
commissioner estimated butter pro-
duction in 1930 was probably 10,000,-
000 pounds higher than in 1929.

New Kind Of Insurance

Switzerland Is Unique

Newly married couples who buy
furniture made by a well-known
manufacturer and ~ retailer in
Switzerland receive a life-insurance
policy with each purchase. It is good
for three years if cash is paid, and
in case the husband dies within
that time the widow receives the
full amount paid for the furniture.
If payments are on the installment
plan, the bereaved mate gets the
amount paid in up to the time of
death, also the furniture without any
further payments.
