Voice of the Press CANADA British Films Going Strong Most Canadians arp pleased to know that British-made films improve in quality, and that the British industry prospers abundantly... We base this statement upon reports brought back from England by returning Canadians and upon frank admissions published in United States trade journals. Mr. 'Walter Wanger, vice-president of the Columbia Pictures Corporation, inter- viewed by the Film Daily, an influen- tial United States trade organ, is quoted as saying: "It might be well to note that al- though the American industry has made little progress through this period of world depression, enormous 'Canada, The Empire and The World at Large of earth ralsed is a sort of deposit in the bank which cannot fail, and on which one can draw cheques in kind, for the maintenance of life for a con siderable period.

The Plowman The plowman is the symbol of the countless men and women who have gone before us wrestling from the soil the means of sustained life and higher aspiration. He is the embodiment of all that is noble in human labor. Some- how, the hands that have guided a plow through the fresh-smelling earth are better for having done so.--Ottawa profits have been made in England by Citizen. producers, distributors and exhibitors. Should this situation make us think? Those in control of production do not seem to realize that there is an entire- 1y new world point of view which has to be met in picture product. This changed viewpoint radically affects the type of entertainment that must be furnished, as well as the attitude of the audience, Artistically, the busi- ness must improve." The quality of restraint and whole- someness, observable in many Old Country films, is one that recommends them to Canadian patrons.--Toronto Mail and Empire.

Something Lacking Here The end of the limit seems to have been reached when a man in Montreal was sent to jail for 15 days because he begged a cigarette from a more for- tunate individual. Somehow that rubs heavily against the grain of a normal person. This man certainly was more sinned against than sinning and the citizen who "turned him in" apparently had completely forgotten the Biblical quo- tation, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" while his accoster appar- ently went on the Biblical assumption of "Ask and it shall be given unto Dangerous Policy you," The Japanese see China rapidly ai If this thing is carried too far we 0 pity is. tw a 'leit number of office integrating before their eyes, and they ask themselves whether their best course is not to strive to save some- thing from the ruins, and to mark out "friends" who will shortly be on the inside looking out!=-Kitchener Daily Record. 2s and secure at least one area which they can immunize from the surround- Tr 2 : he Bacon Quota : ing contagion?

These figures may give those not acquainted with the industry some idea of the huge task facing depart- ments of agriculture, packers, breed- ers aud farmers if Canada is to take full advantage of this important con- cession. Already an intensive cam- paign towards hog improvement has been undertaken by the departments here and in Toronto. A revolution within the industry will be required.

It is a dangerous policy. Dangerous to Japan, because it tends to revive the prestige of the military caste; to strengthen the waning feudal ideology.

Peace With Honour The time for rapprochement be- tween the Government and the Con- gress will come only when civil dis- obedience is definitely called off, and when there are guarantes which fully satisfy the Government that there will be no attempt to revive it in any shape or form. Even then, past ex- perience cannot but make the Govern: ment cautious in accepting any over- tures for peace that may come from the other side.

Plant Surveys Proposed In Fight on Hay Fever Manhattan, Kan,--Plant curveys of communities as an ail to hay-fever control are urged by Miss Elsa Horn, Kansas State College botanist, who has completed such a project in Man. hattan, a city of 12,000 population. "Only ten of these vitally needed surveys have been made in the Uni ted States," Miss Horr said, "but botanists must take up this work if hay-fever sufferers are ever to get smuch relief." Three varieties of ragweed, hemp and pigweed were identified in Miss Horn's research as Manhattan's worst offenders among the 250 pos- sible varieties of trees, grasses and weeds which may cause hay fever. She found that 571.8 acres, or 22 per cent of the city, was in weeds. A single acre of ragweed, which grows in profusion in Manhattan, had been found to give off sixty pounds of pollen, the botanist said. In arguing the importance of weed surveys, Miss Horn pointed out that 60 per cent of all asthma {is hay fever in {its advanced stages. BE { UNLOVED .

Before there were dirt roads across the prairies, before the era of the railways, the old Northwest Mounted carried law enforcement, the Crown's justice, into every nook and cranny of the Western prairies. They did so with-the aid-of horses and their prow- ess as horsemen. Their ability to travel weeks and months living off the country, cut off completely from supply depots, earned for them the reputation of the grefftest mounted police force in the world. New meth- ods of crime, new problems of law enforcement have changed all this. The photographs and paintings of the old scarlet-coated riders, astride their horses, is now only a relic of a North- west which is gone, Any | SEMEN Y New Regime in Turkey Introduces Family Names Istanbul, Turkey.--Millions of Turks are racking their brains to choose family names for themselves while the Minister of Interior prepares a law to enforce this latest western reform. Any names may be chosen as long as they are consistent with Turkish customs. Heretofore family names have been non-existent in Turkey, thousands of women bing simply "Fatimas' and thousands of men "Mustaphas" or "Husseins." Sometimes men have added names indicating they are the sons of a six-fingered man or a fish- mogner--just for distinction. Names must be chosen within six months after promulgation of the new law. fE---- German Warship at Philadelphia have been added. The Macdunald Institute, the gift of Sir William Macdonald, was opened in 1903, as a part of the Collsge for training in home economics. The Col- ege has also been of inestimable aid to farmers in the setection of test seeds, in fact, a new variety of barley named "nobarb" originated there. The 0.A.C. looks also after the registra- tion of beekeepers in the province, about 660 apiaries, with approximate- ly 162,000 colonies, being registered, Much help was given by the College in the corn-borer battle, while in the Canadian School of Baking the Trent Institute conducts commercial baking courses and does research and demon- tration work. Poultry research, soil survey, animal husbandry, fruit grow- ing, cold storage, grading of milk, killing of weeds and other features of the work of the school show the importance of J.A.C. to agriculture in this country. To the Guelph Mer- cury, which published an attractive special edition to mark ilis Excel- lency's visit, we are indebted for many facts concerning this admirable insti- tution.--Toronto Mail & Empire. - Low-Cost Rations for Cows Economical cow rations that New Jersey dairymen can feed as one step toward making readjustments to meet reducticns in milk prices ave listed in a recent statement by E. J. Perry, extension-service dairymar at the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. Since the cost of roughage ard grain constitutes from 50 to 60 per cent. of the entire annual expense of keeping dairy cows, feed is the major expense which the owner can probably reduce with the least diffi- culty, Mr. Perry points out. For the dairy farmer who has such home grown grains as 'corn, oats, barley or wheat, and plenty of choice alfalfa, soybean or clover hay, Mr. Perry re- commends the following ration as one that is economical and capable of stimulating high production: 1,000 pounds of a 20 per cent. ready-mixed feed and 1,000 pounds of corn meal, corn and cob meal, ground barley, ground wheat or a combination of scme or all of these. This mixture contains 14 to 16 per cent. total pro- tein, and, fed with good legumes, is a balanced 'ration. ---- et ---- South Favors Soy Beans Raleigh, N.C.--North Carolina's greatest agricultural accomplishment in the last 25 years has been to in- crease the acreage planted to soy beans, in the opinion of Mr, C.

" - Matches 100 Years Old Lighted at Centenary Dogliani, Italy.--~Matches 100 years old were used to light candles and ciz- arettes at a celebration here in honor of Domenico Ghigliano, their manu- facturer. Dogliani credits Ghigliano, a native sun, with being the inventor of the sulphur match, Similar claims have been made by others, but Dogliani is so convinced that it has erected a monument to its townsman. The mayor produced the ancient box at a ceremony marking the hun- dredth anniversary of the invention. The first match broke into flame at the second stroke. Other honor guests were allowed to strike the remaining ones, all of which were good. Ghigliano was a poor chemist when he produced his first' match. There- after he manufactured them in boxes.
