The acreage sown for 1915 represents net in- crease over that sown for 1914 of 2 pc. Last year the acreage sown was reported 7.37 p. c. less than in 1912. The bulk of the fall wheat crop is grown in Ontario, where, this year, the estimate is for 043.000 acres, as compared with 898.000 acres, the area sown in the fall of 1913. The increase under fall wheat for Ontario therefore is in the ratio of about 16 p.c. In the three Norhwest provinces, the area 80wn to fall wheat has again de- creased in continuation of 'a decline tributed to consecutive discourag- ig seasons for this crop. - Alberta, wever, is the only western prov- face where 'fall wheat is largely own, and area estimated to be wn 18 230,000 acres, compared With 262,000 - acres last year, a de- {crease of about 12 pc.

To spite of the discourag- ing record of fatalities, the new method of travel has won a place in the practical affairs of modern civil ization. What the future will de- velop it would be bold to predict, but it is probable that inventive genius will improve on present me- thods, practices, and appliances, making for both safety and effici- ency. ! i TN TAT present every established Government 'must have aeroplanes for purposes of defence. ~ It may soon be equally necessary for every j important industry and business to have them for purposes of competi: tion. The carrying of the mail and express matter may call them into requisition, Some day ability to manage an aeroplang may be as common as ability to manage an automobile or ride a horse or bi- cycle, Lut that is a far glance for- ward. We may have ' competition among acroplane manufacturers, advertisers, and exhibitors as well : strange that - so 'with means, evergy, and the out- [ook of the investigator hag not organized -an active and elbeient aeroplane club or society to discuss the outlook and possibilities, build aeroplanes, employ and train aero- nauts, give exhibitions, and gener- ally promote the new "method of transportation. Such an. 'organiza- tion would find a wide field of use- fulness. It would be to the aero- plane branch of military 'service what rifle clubs are to the iafantry and cavalry. It would also guide future development along safe and practical lines, thus helping to avert accidents and deyise new means of' usefulness. Military necessities would prompt governmental aid or B participation. It would. not be wise to grow over-hopeful, for the airis a very uncertain medium.

It is stated that that there will be a funeral service in the field before the body is temoved to Folkstone, where it is expected on Monday. arrangements for the funeral here have not yet been announced, but it is naturally anticipated that the services will be at Westminster Abbey.or St. Paul's, probably St» Paul's, where those of Wellington, Nelson and many other of Great Britain's greatest naval and military men were held.
