Through the courtesy of Mr. Jerry O'Brien he was enabled to gather much information concerning the culture, care, harvest. ing and curing the leaf and of its im- portance as an agricultaral product of these districts. Questioned, Mr. O'Brien said that be commenced the growing of tobac- cos here some fifteen years ago. The warieties grown consisted principally of those known as the Burley, Zim- aner, Blue Prior aud Twist Bud, used principally in the manufacture of chewing and cut smoking "tobacecos, The product of these now smount to many millions of pounds annually and the value per acre of the product is much greater than that of any odh- er line of agriculture. ; : Mr. O'Brien's success in growing these heavy grades led him to the be- lief that the highest grades of Con- necticut Havana seed binders might be grown, and some Years ago he be- an experimenting along these lines, is expectations have been more than justified by the magnificent crop just harvested, and confirmed by three years' successive crops of this variely, | each rivaling its predecessor' in qual- ity and quantity.

One glance at' the printer and he hailed him: "What part of Kent are you from?' And be- his astonishment he had told about himself and his family their experiences in the world." During his trip to Edmonton Lord Northcliffe made several short excur- sions out into the country. He visit- ed the farms, talked with the farmers and their wives, and in a brief few minutes had their whole life's story. all and Canada's Foreign Trade. The foreign trade of Canada is ex panding, there being another increase in both. exports and imports for the | month of August, Imports, however,. are increasing much faster than ex- ports. This iz also true of the. trade of the United States. It is argued there that the excessive imports mean that the trade is heavily dis- counting a return of enormous buy- ing from the public. They did the same in 1895, also two years ago from the panic, and they over-discounted. Here, the large import: are no doubt being greatly encouraged by the flota- tion, of so many Canadian secumties in London, as well as the assurygce that the future commerce of this country will be the greatest in its his- tory. Usually the countries that have no occasion to rely on foreign capital their industries, show exces Great Britain never has an export exce while France in 1908 imported $165, 000,000 more than it exported. The growth in Canada's exports ape attri- butable in a large measure to in. creased production of wheat with an accompanying export supply. For instance, from the harvest of 1900 the Dominion exported 9.359,000 bushels of wheat, from the 1905 harvest 4l.- 906,000 bushels, and of last year's harvest 45,879,000 bushels. Exports of last' year's harvest included also" ten millions of bushels of wheat in the shape of flour, making a total for the CROWN == SYRUP A Healthful Delicious Food.
